In the mood for color

Believe it or not, inspiration does not always have romantic roots. Sometimes it just comes from looking at something simple and admiring its colors, at least this is how it works for me.

We went to a craft shop the other day and I stopped by their buttons. OMG! I love the all!

But one should be modest in your desires. I decided on yummy looking caramel colored buttons and simple but gorgeous purple ones.

I ran back to the yarn section and got some yarn too. That's how our new cup cozies were born!

This one reminds me of chilly mornings, looking through the window and cuddling in a blanket with some warm milk and honey:
 
This one reminds me of caramel, so please welcome, English Toffee!

The next one is great for a cup of lavender tea with a lavender shortbread cookie:

 Turquoise is simply my favorite color. We just came back from the Monument Valley and Grand Сanyon and we saw so many beautiful jewelry creations that were for sale at the local tribal exchange posts. So I am always adding just a little bit of turquoise color to brighten my day.
 
All of these cup cozies will be available at our SocksAndMittens shop this month. Please stop by if you have some time!

I never tried using these. Do they really make much difference in terms of how long your tea stays hot? I like the cream one.

I read this post yesterday and wasn't able to decide which color I like most. But today I know - turquoise is stunning!
