So, by now I'm sure you know about the retro-style striped paper straws that have swept the blogosphere and made taking a sip just a little bit cuter. They were inspired by the fun vintage paper straws, which you can find new in the box on ebay or etsy at times. That's where I found the pink and aqua ones {below} a year or so ago.
Two years ago when the new straws made their web debut, I bought the red & white striped ones for my boys' birthday party. {A Circus-themed party wouldn't be complete without red and white barber poles!} And the grey and white ones {above} are cool too. Grey being so trendy right now, I'm sure they are selling well. BUT....I have searched and searched for pink and white straws for months, and girls, I am happy to report that I have finally found them.
Thought I would share my exciting news and the link with you 'cause if you read this blog religiously, there's no doubt in my mind you like pink and white, at least a little bit.
They now sell many other colors as well. It's just fun. I've got a mason jar full of them on my kitchen table....and I've already put some aside for the Bambolina's birthday party.
Oh the simple things. Sip. Sip. Sip.....
and p.s. Thanks, girls, for the Buttercream Bracelet love. I had no idea it would cause such a flurry of questions and emails. It's such fun to share things with you....because you get it.
WOW!! Only you can make pretty straws even prettier. I love the presentation. I also love those QUEEN FOR A DAY cups. Thanks for sharing.
