things i like: striped paper straws
I should really title this ‘things I really like’ because I do have a slight obsession right now.
But are these not the most darling drinking straws?
They make any drink more festive.
I ordered a few packs for my Summer Boutique to fancy up the clear plastic cups I was using for the lemonade and {lucky me} have a bunch left-over.
I especially love these gray ones, but they were sold out at the time, so I ordered raspberry, blue & green. All VERY cute.
and my little kiddos look awfully cute sipping from them.
I purchased mine from a little shop in Maine called Rock, Paper, Scissors. I’ve never been there, but read on a blog that they had great prices {$3 for a box of 50} verses some Etsy sellers who are charging $12 for 100.
Oh how I adore them.

Is there a website for the Rock Paper Scissors store?

I’m so glad to know where you got these wonderful-fun straws. I called Rock, Paper, Scizzors, and they promised to let me know when they get more in. They’ll be perfect for my mom who loves to make chocolate sodas in tall glasses with long, silver iced tea spoons. Thank you!

I really like those too! I have 2 friends who all but REFUSE to drink from anything but straws, and so I keep them on hand for whenever they visit (I never use them myself) but I may have to keep these on hand, just for me!

Apparently they don’t have a website. I, too, would love to order some. I guess we have to call them. 207-882-9930

Oh I’ve been so looking for these!!! My son has sensory issues and we are supposed to have him use a lot of straws. Plus they are just FUN! And who doesn’t like that?!

I’m so glad to have found someone who’s used these!!
Tell me what you think, would these be good to use to make home made pixie stix? I am going to be making some and don’t want to use plastic straws.
Do you think that someone could bite through the paper to open it or is it super heavy duty?
Thanks thanks!!!
