The carafe appears to be something difficult to wash without messing up the sea grass. (The amount of special care you'd need to toke to prevent it from getting greasy from picnic fingers or slightly used dishwater -- let alone a dishWASHER -- makes it not worth the investment to me.)
Oh my gosh, I so remember those straw bowls from when I was a kid. I thought they were cool then, and I still think they're cool. My aunt had the set, plus she had the tumblers to match. Bet ya knew they had the tumblers to match, didn't ya?
