You know you like someone when your pulse quickens, you get wibbly and sweaty and doodle their name on any scrap of paper you can find. With hearts.
I never thought a tea cosy could have the same affect, but it did. I’m smitten. A smitten kitten. A smitten kitten with a tea cosy.
If you have not stumbled across the lovely Poppy Treffry before, consider yourself introduced. Based in a bustling fishing village in deepest Cornwall, you can find Poppy chugging away on her beloved Singer sewing machine, conjuring up must-have pretties for your kitchen and home. All her goodies are inspired by the life she leads and the twinkly world around her and you can feel the Cornish love bursting out of every tea towel, egg cosie and teapot. (Ooh, or mobile phone holder).
Pretty pastels, English nostalgia, a lovely feel of mixyuppy print and pattern combined with her trademark wonky collage gives all of Poppy Treffry’s wares a warm and cosy feel.
She and her team of happy bandits pride themselves on keeping their local traditions alive; fishing and art have always happily mixed together and the spirit of this quirky custom is alive and kicking at Poppy Treffry Towers, not least by Poppy keeping her precious needles and threads in fish boxes, (de-ponged).
So there you have it. For a beautiful tea time treat that’s made with real fingers and thumbs and lashings of Cornish love, get yourself over to her website immediately. Or, if you fancy a jaunt, why not nip over to her sunny shop in St Ives?

Dealing with problems like weight or bad skin can be extremely difficult, both physically and emotionally. Because of this, many people look for solutions that can help them reach their goals of losing weight or clearing up their skin. In some cases when a person wants to lose weight, they might try expensive surgery. But they could also try a balanced diet rich in tava tea mixed with moderate exercise, and they would probably see much better results in the long run.
