Not sure if this should go in the sellers forum but I'm not really selling anything so I posted here. Admin, please move if you deam appropriate. Anyway, I'm moving country in about two weeks and in the process of cleaning house I found a pile of rendered lime bark I was using for making...

I'll take Dibs...would you mind sending a picture? Jeff
