Suddenly it's spring! - here at least. In much of the country, bitter temperatures still reign, but I won't even begin to ship until 2 March. It usually takes me weeks to catch up with the initial rush, so you can let me know what timing best suits you: slow, slower, or slow as molasses in January, as my wonderful Grandma Ray used to say of Naptown's near-stasis.
Ordering is simple: just email me your wishes and I will reply with your prospects, ASAP. Please note the P. I charge priority mail shipping at cost - USPS provides capacious boxes for free, after all - and for residents of California I must add the relevant sales tax. Prices are directly linked to the Cost of Loving Index, i.e., the price of Japanese koi food. This always trends upwards, but not uniformly so. It might well be as irrational as oil.
* = One per customer = won't last long.
US sales only.
