I cannot see auguilettes but the photo is not that clear. I am green with envy anyway. Could you send one of your conversions to Peter J and force him to add it to his range, thereby saving me months of fumbling and inept efforts to complete a unit of 12?<br />Seriously lovely to see, thank you.<br /> johnpreecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548014163096067684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241434547051885219.post-46729576714351506642020-07-17T20:02:17.992+00:002020-07-17T20:02:17.992+00:00Thank you Norm...
