"never trust a man who left alone with a tea cosy does not put it on his head"

so today, I want to ask you a question.

Have you ever seen a tea cosy, and felt the need to put it on your head??

Well, I certainly have, and I don't think I'll ever really understand why. 

Some people say, that because a tea-cosy is so similar in shape and size to a hat, it seems logical to want to try it on your head. Even if you know it's a tea cosy. But that would seem a little silly, if you know that it's meant to be put over a teapot, wouldn't it?

Apparently not. The internet is crazy about it- google has 2,480,000 image results for the phrase 'tea cosy on head', and there is even a day (27th October) dedicated entirely to wearing a tea cosy on your head for Charity (National Wear-a-Tea-Cosy-On-Your-Head Day)!

White Stuff (who are organising the campaign) have managed to rope in celebrities including Jessica Wright, Jamie Oliver, Harry Hill, KT Tunstall, Newton Faulkner and Ben Shephard to help out as well. They're all donning tea cosies and posting their pictures on White Stuff's Facebookpage or tweeting them with the hash tag #teacosy to raise awareness and funds for 85 charities.

 The third annual day takes place on September 27, with last year raising over £30,000. Tea cosies are being sold online for £3 from August 28, and on the day, White Stuff shops are hosting tea parties instore.

Personally, I'm rather excited. Life is so much better when tea parties are involved, and to think that you can drink tea, look silly and raise money for Charity at the same time can surely only be a good thing!!

So what do you have to lose?

Alles Liebe,
