Stacking cups, only these are not stacked on top of one another, my entry for Photo Hunt spiral.
I was cleaning the closets and preparing the baby toys my children played with when they were younger when I decided to take photos of the toys, including this set of stacking cups.
These were given to my brother’s young daughter.
Sigh, they don’t need these toys anymore, how time flies.

Inside these multicolored plastic pots are seeds planted in a mixture of non soil mix and used coffee grounds. These are being sprayed with water on a daily basis.
It smells like a cafe in this area and why not, these used coffee grounds can be had FOR FREE from Starbucks.
You can ask for a bag or two from a branch near you when you have time to grab a cup.
