Been There Ornament – Oregon

Posted on

Starbucks Been There Ornament Oregon is the fresh release from West Coast. The string is green. I was able to identify the following elements on the front:
– Flag of Oregon – which became official on February 26, 1925
– Multnomah Falls – a waterfall on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge. The falls drops in two major steps, split into an upper falls of 542 feet and a lower falls of 69 feet, with a gradual 9 foot drop in elevation between the two, so the total height of the waterfall is conventionally given as 620 feet
– Haystack Rock – 235-foot sea stack in Cannon Beach
– An old wagon – is a reference to Oregon Trail – a 2,170-mile historic East–West wagon route and emigrant trail that connected the Missouri River to valleys in Oregon… Read more

Starbucks Been There Ornament Georgia is mostly blue and has light blue string as well.

The string of the ornament is light blue.… Read more

The string is pink.

Been There Ornament – Texas

Posted on

Starbucks Been There Ornament Texas has probably one of the most laconic designs so far. As far as I can see, the front has only these items:
– a cowboy boot and hat – obviously
– a star shaped sheriff’s badge – a very well known element from Westerns (movies)
– I can also mention a pair of cacti, but they are leaning towards the side of the mug
And that’s it! The string is light orange, btw.… Read more
