Woven Straw Coasters. Tropical Theme.
These were a gift. They qualify as one of those items that hang around mainly due to the gift guilt / sentimental clutter factor. And yet in photographing them, their kitschy beauty shines through.
They are definitely not functional. They puff up in the middle and if you place a glass on them, it wobbles precariously. You might spill that rum punch if you’re not careful. Perhaps that is their hidden intention of design — to measure your state of sobriety.
Status: Wait till next summer and have a party on the beach with punch. Spiked and non-spiked.

Speaking of guilt, I feel guilty I haven’t yet posted this Alt Title Post, my thank you for a recent blog award, and my OT karmic updates. Hey, like everyone else, I’m busy:) Until then the usual thanks go out to the usual suspects: Notes to the Milkman and The Future is Papier Mache regarding this Untitled tomfoolery, Alt-title”Jokes” as closing for a post inspired by Ben‘s joke format at the end of his posts.
These would hang around in our house for many years, with the wooden fruit and the unidentifiable knife.
Aah – the wooden fruit:)
