The magic of paper straws..


Aren't paper straws so lovely! My best friend Kate, adores paper straws... She thinks drinks taste better with them. I'd kind of have to agree as well. It's odd isn't it how the aesthetic of something can influence how much you enjoy something. Have a gorgeous weekend! Kellie xx

    I agree about things tasting better with paper straws! Might be cause of the absence of toxic plastic. The photos are, as always, amazing!!

    I remember them well a cocktails always tastes better with a straw, also good for protecting the teeth as the drink goes straight down! :)

    L.O.V.E this post, Kellie, and yes it does taste "better"! It's like eating chineese food with chopsticks, never mind the extra time it takes for us novices, but it does seem to taste better :)!

    Boy, is that a blast from the past! I haven't seen paper straws in decades. I don't even know where you would go to get them. I'm sure everything would taste better using them.

    These are beautiful!

    Last year, I went to a restaurant that had paper straws that were brown and SO thick that they made drinking through them unpleasant. I think it was a 'green' initiative, to prevent plastic straws from going to the landfill. They should look into these little beauties!
