Just because

Aren't they pretty?

I saw them in the warehouse of a gifts and novelties importer a couple of years ago and though I really had no use for them (at least not as liquid containers), I still bought a whole bunch just because I liked them.

I'd been wanting to buy some ever since I saw them in the home section of the department store I frequent, but I knew I wanted to buy a lot and the department store's price was a tad too high just for colored glass. At the warehouse, they cost only a fourth of what I would've paid in the department store.

Now they're all together on a tabletop in the living room. And when the sun shines through them in the late afternoon, they fill the spot with lovely colored rays.
