Coasting away

On my recent Anthropologie stop, I picked up two of these coasters, on sale for $3.95 each. I just wanted something shiny to bring home to console me from this.
And they're avian...even better!
I am loving them - here's a photo of one of them in situ on my bedside table, awaiting a mug of a hot chocolate:

Coasters make me laugh, really - yes, they do serve a purpose, but most of the time they don't really do much but sit around and look pretty. Not that they need an excuse.
