Wooden Coaster - Lost in Transition Collection

When I first moved to Germany, I quickly realized that language isn’t just about words — it’s about the wild, wonderful expressions that don't always translate the way you expect.

Phrases like "Tie a cat to your hat" (German) or "Having a lot of bread" (French for being rich) left me scratching my head, laughing out loud, and imagining the most absurd scenes.

That's how the idea for the Lost in Translation Collection was born!

Each handcrafted 4x4 inch coaster brings a quirky proverb or saying from German, French, Italian, Spanish, or Portuguese — hilariously translated into English.
It's my way of sharing the humor, wit, and cultural charm I discovered while navigating life across languages.

Because sometimes, the best way to feel at home in a new place... is to laugh a little at how strange (and wonderful) language can be.
