5 out of 5 starsI put in a custom order (a pair of coasters not normally sold together) and the seller made sure to get the out so they got to me by Christmas. My husband got a kick out of them and took the “existence is pain” coaster to work.

5 out of 5 starsAs mentioned in my other review, these are really lovely and I do like them a lot aesthetically but they are quite sticky

5 out of 5 starsReally lovely coasters and they are really beautiful, the only down side is they are a bit sticky when putting things on them, especially with hot drinks, but they are aesthetically great

The tiles used for coasters are upcycled. We find them in bins, lofts, garages. First step - cleaning, cutting, sanding -

All coasters are safe and sound until they go to their new home
The tiles we find are in different sizes and shapes - we cut them to a good coaster size, trying to reduce waste as much as possible. After cutting them, the sharp edges are sanded down and the tiles cleaned.
Any broken leftovers are smashed into smaller pieces and used as drainage when repotting pot plants.

Handmade with love from upcycled materials!
Ever since I was a little girl, my parents taught me to recycle and reuse whatever possible. This is the approach I have been using in my life ever since.
This is the approach I am also using for my shop.
All the coasters are made from old tiles left in garages, sheds, loft, and some even by the bins. I take those tiles and give them a new life, a creative life away from landfills.
Every step of the process is done by hand. The tiles are cleaned and hand-cut to size. The sharp edges are sanded down so there is no risk of hurting yourself.
The images are transferred to the tiles and then lacquered.
Once they dry off, the cork is hand-cut to size and attached to the bottom of the tile to protect your furniture.
All of your orders will arrive in eco-friendly packaging!
Envelopes are made from recycled paper and any boxes used are the ones I got my own orders in. Smaller items are packaged in pillow boxes I made out of old maps.
I do use bubble wrap to secure your coasters BUT it is bubble wrap left over from moving house or one I got with my Internet orders.
Shop at Taarna's Knick Knacks and help keep our plant green!!

Of course!
If you would like to buy a couple of sets or would just like to know how much shipping would be for a custom order with more than 4 coasters, feel free to message me and I will check what is the lowest shipping price.
Custom and personalised orders
I love custom orders!
Be it a specific coaster set, maybe a different sized one, or even splashback tiles (yes, I had one of those too) I always say nothing is impossible and we can sort something out.
The same goes for any other items in my shop - if you'd like something custom made, please do not hesitate to contact me.
