Condensation? Bring it on!
I have a habit of collecting coasters, especially the kind with beer logos emblazoned on them. I find it comforting to see just how many types of beer from around the world I've had the pleasure of consuming (as is also evidenced by my hordes of beer caps that have not yet found their way to a craft project.) Anyway, as I was browsing around Buy Olympia, a great site that sells goods from many independent designers, my addiction instantly drew me towards this coaster from Sesame Letterpress. Mmm, tasty...(as my cat would say)
It features a letterpressed goldfish in, get this, waterproof ink! (Don't question the physics, just trust.) Made from a husband and wife pair out of Brookyln, these coasters would make the perfect, comfy home for (dare I mention it yet again) a cold beer, or whatever whets your whistle. Not diggin' the goldfish? There's also a buck, birdie, lily, poodle, a salsa dancer and other designs to choose from. What are you waiting for? Shop!











I love these coasters! I have the birdies, and they save my tables from little rings in style.

I love the goldfish. I think I saw a post on design*sponge about cute cardboard coasters that Grace said she planned on framing. (I hope those were the right details).
These are just too cute to actually use! What if they, gasp, got rings on them!

Eep...I actually use mine! We just got new furniture, so we chose coasters over an icky coffee table. (Plus, they're reasonably priced, which means I'm sure I'll get more!) They've been used lots, though, and still look new and purty :)

I have a few of these too... got them as a housewarming gift. I have had them for more than a year now and they are still in good shape (except for the one I spilled wine all over). Mine are that same fish but in BLUE!
