In another life, in Washington DC, a dear friend and I had a minuscule business. She painted teapots and I made the cloth cozies to cover them for warmth. We sold these colorful combinations at the National Cathedral Gift Shop. Due to lack of volume, after a while, we took the hint and stopped making them. However, we did sell/give away a sufficient amount that now and then one turns up. This is probably my favorite re-incarnation. E, who needed a warmer for a coffee press pot, turned the tea cozy upside to make it usable. This put the bottom which is a smaller circle closer to the press plunger than if it were used right side up. I just adore this.
