Babushkups

These "babushkups" have been sitting on my desk for a year waiting to be photographed.  I bought them a year ago at Sur la Table as a gift for myself and my sister-in-law.  They are the kind of thing that I love so much I'm not sure if I can use them. It reminds me of when I buy tablecloths at the flea market.  When they are stained I feel free to use the heck out of them and I get a lot of enjoyment from them.  But when they are pristine they end up stacked on a shelf  in the cupboard never to be seen.  I guess the best way to appreciate something is to use it.  I may use them as pencil holders or I  may just bite the bullet and use them as drinking glasses!  Crazy, I know.
