AH! Those are awesome! I would totally wear some. If I weren’t one of the few totally weird girls who never got around to getting her ears pierced…True story. But still! Maybe I could figure out how to make one as a pendant for a necklace… Or a VIA bracelet! I feel a craft day coming on…

Every year when Starbucks has their post-christmas sales I like to buy everyone in the office their own unique ceramic mug. They make for great belated x-mas gifts.

re: the VIA earrings. I made them for the baristas at my best store, first one pr, they were LOVED and desired, so Beth (phenom. FOAM-maker, lover of coffeee,and all around excellent barista) had the first pr. and figured out about 3-4 more prs were needed. So, I came up with 2 more, already being worn….2 to go. really easy and fun to make..bought earring wires in a pack of 4 prs at Michaels (craft shop) and then used whatever I had from the box of the VIA I’d bought….VIA words, Sbux logos… only went so far. Then I got from the store a couple of those booklets: ‘How Starbucks VIA Ready Brew Can Change Your Life’…..there’s lots of material to cut and paste in those booklets. So, that stuff and a loop of cord (varied) to paste in between the VIA pieces of cardboard, which then hung from the earring wire…… was fun, looked pretty cool. they (baristas) seem happy about them. customers commenting. too bad I didn’t think (or see) of this back in March!!
@Patsy: I’m thinking you can do this, it’s pretty much cut and paste. ????

Very cool for the baristas! (I hope they agree! they will) I took a picture of these posted here and am bringing them into my store tomorrow….there are a few very creative young energetic women who work there and, with the HUGE push of VIA right now…it is EVERYWHERE all over the store, I have an idea they would be glad to wear them. AND, what a great added-HOW-CAN-YOU-RESIST plug for VIA!!!! Actually, I might have to make a pair for them to start with….GREAT IDEA! (I’m getting up my strength to comment on the PIKE story…)

Alright, so I can’t make my own– I know nothing about jewelry making :-/ can somebody please tell me how I can get a pair?

I love these! We should all have a pair or make our own. I think Via was a great idea. I’m surprised they didn’t think of it sooner.

That’s really neat. It’s exciting to see the enthusiasm around VIA. If I were a girl, I’d make Sulawesi stamp earrings! LOL!

My hubby loves VIA and if I don’t leave enough coffee in the press pot for him he breaks into my VIA stash with out hesitation!
And maybe you can get a Diana camera with a cell phone attached… then you would see your photos are just fine.
