I might be persuaded, but keep it quiet, don't tell anyone. I wouldn't want it to get around that Thenamir, the Spectre of Capitalism, was giving anything away. I have a reputation to uphold!

My dear Thenamir, where you are concerned, it would appear that everything gets around. Or comes around. Even if you aren't around more often!

My Barrow Downs t-shirt, along with my Minas Tirith t-shirt, are safely folded and put away in my drawer as its way to warm here to be wearing them.
I do contemplate making them into sleeveless shirts, which would be worn regularly...

Oh, my mug was left behind at the house after my divorce. If you have a couple left,
I may be interested in getting them as they were perfect for the morning coffee.

Indeed, I shall. Unfotunately I was too young, poor and foolish a whelp to procure one and donate some lovely monies to the Downs. Now I wish I could pull a back to the past and back to the future with my bank account, but alas not possible.
What is possible is bartering, with cash and other standards, though my market is only supported with 'hope in paper'. Will this work?

Any coffee mugs left, sir?

I kind of want one, but then again, I'd only use it for tea, not coffee. You don't have any Barrow Downs teapots do you?

If Thenamir has not got a teapot, may I offer these? I've always thought rather affectionately of the Barrow Downs--or of certain Downers--whenever I've seen these teapots:

On the other hand, perhaps these have more of a Middle earth flavour to recommend themselves:

Perhaps the good storeman would consider augmenting the items in the Barrow Downs store, what with this new Hobbit movie a possibility?

The first one is lovely!

Now I miss taking pottery... So many lovely teapots could have been made, now that I can keep the clay from falling...

Hmm, that gives me a bit of an idea. Possibly having BD swaps, of mugs and pots? Though, I don't know how much time that'll take. Just an idea I guess.

Ah. Mugs and such. Many mugs still very much available. Half-price sale! Buy one, get one free!

No teapots, alas.
