Word for the Week

noun
noun: cosy; plural noun: cosies; noun: cozy; plural noun: cozies 
a soft covering to keep a teapot, boiled egg, etc., hot. 
"a photograph of Smith pouring tea from a pot with a knitted cozy" 
a soft decorative cover for an object. 

informal
give (someone) a feeling of comfort or complacency.
"she cozied him, pretending to find him irresistibly attractive"

To me cozy is holding a cup of tea in one hand and a book in the other, sitting by a fire or wrapped in a soft blanket, or sitting in a beautiful quiet place visiting with a friend over a cup of tea.

Above is a breakfast set and it says cozy because I can imagine toast and tea in the mornings while wearing a warm fluffy robe.

A secret garden says cozy because I can imagine a quiet, peaceful place with the scent of freshly blooming flowers.

This bottom picture is a tea cozy, well you knew I had to include that.
The sewing pattern for this cozy is my #1 selling item on etsy.
It does keep my tea warm in the pot for quite awhile, it is cozy.

What says cozy to you?

    Many of the same things you've mentioned say cozy to me. I feel especially cozy if it's raining or snowing outside and I'm inside by a fire with a good book and a cup of tea or hot chocolate. I'm pleased to be the recipient of one of your lovely tea cozies!

    I love the word COZY, Marilyn. What says cozy to me is a warm house away from the crowds, a cup of hot coffee, a scrumptious dessert, and a good movie. That picture of the secret garden is so pretty. And I love your breakfast set. It reminds me of an antique. The colors are really nice.

    Have a cozy evening, Marilyn.

    Cozy is one of my favorite words. In fact, Lizzie full name -- Elizabeth Cosette -- often gets shortened to Cosi Girl. (Among other things!) All your examples of cozy are simply spot on! For me, it's a good book, a cat and (in season) a fire in the fireplace!
