Tea Cozy - 2015 Version

About 10 years ago Martha Stewart made a tea cosy from 'fat quarters'.  

Add some wadding, ribbon a little sewing and you have a tea cosy.  

Of course, I threw out my old cosy on our last move - St Ives to Thornleigh.  

This year the CWA Branch Craft Project is 4 different tea cozies. 

So.... I thought I would re-invent / re-do good old Martha's version.  

January Auction - Louisa's little finds

 Once I read there was a Printers' Tray in the catalogue, I thought this is worth looking at. I've placed some darling metal number plates Julia picked up on one of her trips.  All with lucky # 7 in them.  And a tiny tied bundle of used stamps from Flywheel - New Norfolk, Tasmania.

Cornish Pottery - yay!
The only pieces of CP in the auction.  Now they have a new home.

Chimney pot # 1 advertised as Vintage...I guess so, vintage looking at least. I just like the ornamental look of them.

Chimney pot # 2  smaller and with touch up shiny paint, never mind.

 These two chimney pots came in a lot with a plinth - yuck!  So I've hidden that in a bush in the garden, not really me, but will suit very well as a stand for a water bowl for birds.

      Onyx, silver & seed pearls Pendant.            I thought it may 'go with' one of my onyx rings, I think it does.  

Happy with my little finds on this my first foray into the auction world here in Sydney.  Next time perhaps more Cornish Pottery, cast iron urns, and yummy jewelry.

Australia Day 2015

What is everyone planning for Australia Day?

I see it's flooding in Tas, so I do hope the weather picks up for you all there.

It's so hot here in Sydney, at the moment, so I do hope it cools down a little as the CWA Branch I am a member will be hosting a stall for the Hornsby Shire Council Australia Day celebrations.

Percy will be fishing in NZ.

I will be going out to dinner for my 24th Wedding Anniversary - with Duncan.

Julia will be making an Aussie moment in Spain while travelling with her friend, Maddie.

Whatever you plan, I hope it is a great day for you and your family.
Thinking of you all.  x
