Tea cosy

There was a time we used the tea set that had the tea pot, sugar bowl and the milk bowl. The tea pot used to be covered with a tea cosy matching the decor around. Much water has now flown under the bridge since then and now it is tea bags in a tea mug with milk poured from the vessel the milk is boiled and same with the sugar - no more sugar bowl either. What is now done is more practical and time saving. Looking back I did much more - setting the dining table and now it is straight from the buffet table. Are you practical too or wanting everything in style? Image credit:

Oh I love style and used to always have it. Now I do not even have a table to sit at, let alone fine china.

@RebeccasFarm Why did you not bring along your furniture from the other place?

Way back in the dark ages (that's a joke), there were dozens of patterns for fancy tea-cosies.

I think tea cozys are really pretty. They kind of are antiques now though

I'm the practical type, unless there are guests coming to my apartment. I would take out the fine china and serve my guests.
