I wouldn't want to buy larger amounts of any of them but just always meet new ones like a socialite hungering ever for new contacts. Maybe I could really do this. Maybe I could commit to only samples. <a href="http://www.jasonwitt.org/teaternity.html" rel="nofollow">--Teaternity</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-78072357322473680612009-09-11T16:31:04.766+01:002009-09-11T16:31:04.766+01:00Mine was from Magokorodo (see article here), but I...Mine was from Magokorodo (see article <a href="http://half-dipper.blogspot.com/2009/03/hagiyaki.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>), but I did get my tetsubin from Artistic Nippon.
