straws for bodkins

If you have a Panerras near to where you live, they have the biggest best straws for using with a bodkin for turning applique Eleanor's way. They came with a smoothie,so might have to ask for smoothie straws.

I like their bread. Do you think I could ask for a straw with a loaf of bread? lol

Starbucks also has nice big straws. I went in and bought coffee and noticed the straws on a counter with napkins so I just took a couple home. I cut them in half and they are just perfect.

The smoothie straws just might be big enough to 'sip' soup through. They are an impressive size!

I think they will be nice enough to give you one or 2 or 5 if you ask to see them.

Bread and smoothie straws go together-somehow-we'll think of something.

I like the Burger King straws - and the nice (?) thing is they are out by the soda machines so you can pick up 3-4 at a time! LOL!!
