Ceramic Coasters from Robot Candy

082306coasters2.jpg

We have a thing for coasters, even though the ones we're using right now are the disposable, paper kind that we swiped from one of our favorite little bars. After having people over for drinks, it never fails that we find glass rings on our wood tabletops (this vision is the equivalent of nails on a chalkboard to us). So we're attempting to make a better effort of placing coasters sporadically for guests. For this, we'd like a mix-n-match set, which is where Robot Candy comes in.

These kitschy handmade coasters are made from recycled ceramic tile, with sweet, sometimes silly images like chipmunks and pink cake. They run $7 a pop, or four for $24.

Love these. Anyone know the size of these? I'm thinking they would be fun grouped together on a wall.

I am buying these!!! I have been looking for the perfect tiles to group over a credenza, now I've found them. I plan to take them to a local frame shop to have each one 'framed' in a slim 1/4" border x 1" deep teak wood. I can't wait.

Is anyone having trouble purchasing these on the online web site? I can't figure it out. Also the contact link isn't working for me so I don't know how to get in touch with the company. These are absolutely adorable! The lightswitch plates are really cute as well. Must BUY NOW..
