Crochet coasters for decorative hours in Advent
For me, a nice cup of fennel aniseed cumin tea just goes into the Christmas season. To round off the cup of tea, it may also like to snow and bitter cold outside.
I have designed for you little "pear coasters" for the beloved cup of tea (or even coffee / cocoa / milk ?!). They are so adorable and quickly homemade that you now have the choice between a small "pear army" for their own use or the appropriate little gift for just such anonymous tea addict, as I am one.
