That word cute used to be a word I challenged myself to avoid, but I'm bringing it out again. It's rapidly becoming my favorite word for so, so many things. Just really like the way it sounds. It's like a little shout. I made these tea cozies (spelled cosies in England) exclusively for Cherry's online store and must say that they are, you know, CUTE. The decorations are actually pins- so when you aren't serving tea, you can wear the pin. I thought it would be good to have it be removable for washing too.
Do treat yourself and go to the reopening of Cherry's cottage store. It has been freshly restocked with all sorts of adorable goodies for the home. Our friend Fiona at Nonnie has contributed quite a few must-have creations. I confess that I am excited to have my work represented in a store, online or not, in England.
I know that CUTE was also my main descriptor yesterday for this. Having overused darling, sweet, adorable, dear, I can't think of any other words for awhile. Just a little while. I'll get tired of this one too. Anyway, while you are out cyber-shopping, stop off and visit Bayberry Cove. The Sweet Mountain Holiday Collection is looking so...well, you know.
Thanks so much for the mention Charlotte. I spotted your tea cosies over at Cherry's shop a little earlier. They really are cute! I love them. I especially love the fact that the decoration can be taken off and used as a pin. What a clever idea. I'm really sure you're going to do very well with them.

Lovely cosies and such an orginal idea with detachable pins, perfect for "ladies who lunch" - good luck with your English sales.

I too use the word "cute" a lot but I've thought about it and it really is a good adjective..simple and to the point.

I just saw your cusy cozies over at Cherry's store. They are great.
I've just made myself a pot of tea, using a patchwork cozie our mutual friend made me a few years ago.

You are funny (and cute.) And I mean that in the nicest possible way. I've felt the same way sometimes about the word but I'm finding that I do really think it's a compliment. Cherry is just wonderful and I'm so happy to see you're working with her. I'm on Bayberry's mailing list and just looove all your new products! I'm so glad you have a blog!

Now I 'need' a tea cosy. Pity I use a tea bag in a mug, and not a teapot. I don't think hubby would go for - honey I need a teapot for my new tea cosy!
