You may have heard that Starbucks is doing some major retooling of their business due to the recent news of their dropping profits. Well today we benefitted from this in a rather unexpected way. DH was walking by one of the many neighborhood Starbucks and found this basket on the curb along with lots of other random stuff. (the nuts were not included. Those we also got for free from a relative in Oklahoma where apparently pecans grow on trees.) The basket is a nice size and made from wire so its pretty sturdy and in good shape.


DH also found a bag full of sample size cups to use for glue for his students. (no he doesn't teach first grade) Incidentally, immediately after this picture was taken I picked up the basket and dropped it on the floor spraying nuts everywhere. I then tripped on some and almost fell. I wonder if I can sue either Starbucks or the state of Oklahoma for that...I'll have to call one of those lawyers who advertise on TV late at night and find out.
