“Let’s go in Kitchen Collections,” I said, “they sometimes carry some of my coasters…”

KitchenCollection-Coasters

We only had to go about 3 feet into the store before we found a spinner with 3 of my absorbent coaster designs!  Exciting! (“Life is too short to drink bad wine”, “The end Justifies the Beans” and “Cup Size Matters”.)

KitchenCollection-CarstersThen we walked around the rest of the store and found 2 of my ‘carster’ designs – handy absorbent coasters that fit in your cup holder… hence the name: ‘carster’.  (“Caffeine is not a drug, it’s a vitamin” and “I break for Coffee”)

SO… if you are in or near an outlet mall, head in to Kitchen Collections and pick up some fun coasters for your house, your car, your mother, your friends… whoever!  Just be sure to get the ones that say “©Tara Reed”, OK?

So whether you can wear them or just like the idea of sporting a  high-fashion high-heel attitude – there’s a little something for everyone and more in the works so stay tuned!

The summer Gift Show in Atlanta is going on now and one of my licensees, Thirstystone Resources, just emailed me this photo of the entry to their showroom area.  You can imagine I just FLIPPED when I saw it!  “Can I please have it delivered and set up in my office when you are done?”  Thirstystone has created a set of 4 Fashion Forward absorbent coasters as well as disposable Pub Coasters featuring two of the designs.

Ask for them at your favorite retailer.  I’ll let you know if I find them online but I don’t want to wait to share my excitement!

As well as coasters, two of these designs are available as rubber stamps from Janlynn / Stamps Happen. They have been seen at Hobby Lobby and other independent rubber stamp stores and are also available online.  Click on the images below…

Finallly, the designs are available as 12 x 12 wall art prints, licensed to BonArtique and available in stores and online at Art.com – click on the images below if you just have to have them!

Here’s to you!  – Tara
