    what a fun idea, did they drill a drain hole in the cup? Someone gave me one that had a candle poured into it. When I'd burned it I filled the cup with birdseed & kept it in my garden till a frost cracked it.

    My cracked cup had a long and glorious life, who wouldn't rather go out feeding birds than sitting in a dusty cupboard? Hmm, feel a poem coming on, lol!
