Finding items for a vintage Halloween themed kitchen can be hard at times. Paper and cheap plastic plates can be found everywhere, but hardy items that can hold up to everyday use are less common. Plus, as someone who does not want every item I own to have a skull on it, there is an additional level of complication.
Over a year ago, I saw Cheltenham Road at ScareLA and fell in love with their delightfully spooky images. At the time their display consisted of candle holders and nice sets of drink coasters. I purchased a candle holder for my best friend (who says it is a fixture of her Halloween-themed living room) and I bought myself four coasters.
Instead of purchasing a full set, I was able to hand-pick four images from different collections. I took two coasters from the Vintage Halloween set – which depicted vintage Halloween toys and games. The full set contains six coasters and is $24 on the Cheltenham Road Etsy Shop.
And I took two images from the “Halloween Coaster Set“ – which contained made-up Horror businesses from famous legends and lore. The full set contains four coasters and is $20 on Etsy.
After over a year of use, these coasters are still just as vivid and nice as the day I bought them. The coating keeps the images in good condition under normal wear-and-tear and the painted sides have not chipped or faded yet.
These sturdy coasters have a non-slip cork base and are handmade in the USA.
Although I love Cheltenham Road for their Halloween items, they do have a wide-variety of images from comic book-themed to travel-themed. You can find their items on their Etsy Store or in a variety of retail locations in California, Ohio, and Illinois.
