My Little Dream... Coasters

Coasters... not really something to dream about, but there are always so many to choose from!

Ive been looking at some fun different coasters!

The first design i stumbled across was on Etsy


I love this idea... something simple to do yourself with your old scrabble set and some strong glue adhesive.
You can pick the tiles up on ebay! But it might be worth popping round to Nans and I think there might be a rush at car boots for old scrabble sets!
Or for those who are less crafty you can buy this from Etsy for  $14.00 USD


Another great crafty idea for coasters! is to simply pick up sample tiles you love from your local DIY store?  Slate tiles can look funky and you can also use them to create little blackboards! and its up to you if you decide to glue the base to some corkboard?



If you do have corkboard (you can pick it up from your local craft shop) , another fun idea i stumbled across was the one below, cutting corkboard into bread shapes! Simple... and I think this is a fun and quirky idea which would also, the way its presented as a loaf make a great gift!



However, again for those less crafty! these are Avaliable at Moma Store for just $10.00 USD



As many of you know i have a thing for nautical seaside decor and i just cant get enough of Duck Egg Blue Colours and Beach Huts so here are a couple of my much loved coasters:

This cute design (right) is avaliable from beach chic designs at 24.00USD for Four













However, my  Favourite of all favourites  is this simple design, avaliable for the absolute Bargain price of 2.50 GBP from http://www.romseybeeremporium.co.uk/2012/01/11/coaster-place-glass-here/ 

It is very similar to the 'Keep Calm and Carry on' range which is so popular at the moment
