Wish List: Seven super ideas to add zing and zest to our homes

Rita de Brún is tempted by tea cosies, china plates, sleek sound systems, statement seating, playful cushions and lovely linens

TEA-TIME

Wild-food organic chef and master herbalist Freda started out with a tea stall in Dublin’s Temple Bar. Now, not only does this multi-talented West Cork woman blend exquisite herbal brews, but she’s in the tea cosy biz as well. The tea cosies are beautifully knitted with love by Betty Wolfe from Ballydehob, with all funds going to Tearfund Ireland which supports vulnerable children in Cambodia. Once you’ve placed your order, you’ll receive images of the colour options available. Tea cosies cost €15 plus €5 postage from Intelligent Tea.
