Thanks for the message - sorry for the ...Hi Finnman<br />Thanks for the message - sorry for the delay in responding, but I have only just found it. 20 euros is still too much for a single vesuri that may only cost 10 to 15 euros, but maybe a package of 4 or 5 would be more economical. Please contact me via my website, and maybe we can work something out. But currently lack of cash prevents any purchases as I am buying some from Bulgaria this month.Bob Burgesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04967046912461868519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6268522597035869474.post-702033150867163922013-05-15T14:43:53.677+03:002013-05-15T14:43:53.677+03:00I just thought that I like more that kind of rusti...I just thought that I like more that kind of rustic finish more than highly polished.
