Expensive and beautiful Memories that sprang from the old box with the mother's knit and crochet works."Mom's coasters" which were white, braided, cotton.

 Their role was to decorate the saucer of the water, for the official guests. Next to the dessert plate, he placed the coasters in "crystal" plates, and put the glass with the water on.

Inspired by these old white knits, the colored coasters of joy were created with a thin colored macramé yarn – (leftovers of used yarns) , with additions and subtractions to the old design.
