Description
For years now, collecting coasters has been a hidden passion of mine. The sense of owning a small lavish trinket after a great night out with friends captures a special memory in the back of your mind. Along with its sentimental value, a coaster can be used by everyone who enjoys a cool refreshing beverage; whether it be an ice cold glass of water or a chilled bottle of beer. Each coaster has its own memorable piece of advice that could have been used throughout tough times in my life. The etched messages are paired with personalized photographs and doodles from my past that bask in my uniqueness. The small representations of my coasters display how much I’ve learned throughout college, while preparing myself for real world experiences outside of school.
