[Guest guest]

Hey Ilene,

 

> butch, lost the post about the prices, what are the prices on the rings

> and what ones are available and you don't really have to buy 500 or

> more at a time do you?

 

Of course not .. 250 or so is fine .. ;-p

 

Naaa .. you can buy one, two, ten or forty-eleven - great Christmas gift

for a few bucks. The PO4 - 4 Band and the PO5 - 4 Band w/Roses are

stocked in Maryland. These are Sterling Silver .. price is $8.50 each.

I've given many of them as Christmas gifts in the last 20 something

years. I get them direct from the craftsmen in Istanbul.

 

You can see them at http://www.BSI-Hq.com/rings.html

 

Also got the Copper Cezves .. In the upper left hand corner of the below

URL you see them - they are the pots used to cook Turkish Coffee over an

open flame or electric eye .. it's necessary to have a capability to

pull it back quickly to avoid it foaming over. These come in two sizes

...... 2 cup and 4 cup. Prices are:

 

Two Cup Size .... $ 4.95

Four Cup Size ... $ 5.95

 

And the Kütahya Porcelain Coffee Cups and Saucers: I have 24 Boxes

left. Each box contains 6 cups/6 saucers. Kütahya Porcelain, from

Kütahya, Turkey is sold in the finest shops - world-wide.

 

Porcelain Coffee Sets (6 cups/6 saucers) Kutahya Demitasse ..... $17.50

 

See the Cezves, Grinders, Porcelain Coffee Sets, etc., at this URL

Finally, Meerschaum Pipes ... I have quite a few Handcarved Meerschaum

Pipes in stock, as well as hand-carved figurines of animals. It is not

possible to price them in an email as each is unique and one of a kind.

We have'em in a display case in the store and there are a lotta tourists

coming through Friendsville for white water rafting in the summer and

snow skiing in the winter. I'll photograph and price them one by one

and that won't happen until after the New Year.

Two days before Thanksgiving, an elderly man in Phoenix calls his son in

New York and says, " I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that

your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough.

 

" Pop, what are you talking about? " the son screams.

 

" We can't stand the sight of each other any longer, " the old man says.

" We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you

call your sister in Chicago and tell her, " and he hangs up.

 

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. " They're

not getting divorced if I have anything to do about it, " she shouts,

" I'll take care of this. "

 

She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at the old man, " You are NOT

getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm

calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then,

don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME? " and hangs up.

 

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. " Okay, " he says,

" They're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own fares...Now what

do we tell them for Christmas?
