I don't drink tea and I don't own a teapot, but this tea cozy by Alice of Crochet with Raymond has me wishing that I did. Isn't it lovely? And the crochet bunting in the background? Gorgeous! 

Alice has very generously posted tutorials for the tea cozy and the bunting on her fantastically colourful blog - would love to try that bunting!
