Some days are not lining up days. These ornaments and plates look very nice though. <br />I know the tax/free charged when you post things to Europe now is big and too much! I post things to my sister in Germany from Australia and I have strict instructions to write $2 as the cost on the customs label, as even when I write it as being worth $20 she had to pay a fee. So I write the low price but tick the box ‘return if lost’ so I get it back if something goes wrong (it’s happened several times before, months after a small parcel went missing). International post just as much an adventure as ever!
