Today after a delicious breakfast at the Lazy Susan Cafe in Cannon Beach and a trip to the loveliest of bookstores, I found a new antique store. It was right up my alley. All sorts of miscellaneous baubles laid out in the most appealing way. Sometimes antique stores are so stuffy that I feel like a bull in a china shop. This shop had a nice feeling to it. I bought a cute needlepoint tray that featured Victorian Homes and will be perfect for holding my dangling bracelets.
I also bought these glass coasters.
I have more of these at the other house and I use them all the time. These ones feature, I think, different people feeling the effects of drinking. And a burly bartender mixing a martini. Showoff!
Some of the scenes don't make sense to me but it is 3:00 and I am sober. I will look later on tonight and see if they become crystal clear. Kind of like wine goggles!It is possible that this was a made up set. The two women, 1 is a ballerina which seems to me to have nothing to do with drinking and the other is in a risque lace dress, again not clear on the drinking aspects of a lace dress. Then we have some sort of carnival mirror fellow, he has very, very short legs, a weird looking hand and is wearing a hat with a bow on it. Who or what he is, again lost on me.
The last four are pretty clear that they are part of the same set. We have the burly bartender, a dapper gentlemen holding a martini, two tipsy dapper gentlemen leaning against a lamp post and singing and last a portly man in his pj's holding his head. 
The decals are all placed on the back so the moisture of the drink won't make them come off. They are cute and if you need a coaster, these will do nicely. They are holding my GIANT iced latte right this minute and doing a fine job.These were four dollars and it was money well spent.
