Letters from Lovers (of Queen B candles)

there was a mad rush to look at and absorb all my lovely goodies from L Rohricht

I thought I had placed the night before, and of course couldn't find the proceed button to forward my credit card #, so was surprised when the voice answered "Queen B". I asked to be put thru to the accounts dept, and this change of voice states "accounts dept" followed by a giggle and " I cant afford a accounts dept it is run by me Cate, so we both had a giggle and I explained that I couldn't place the order properly, so Cate said that's alright I will check when I go into the office and organise it all, so thanks Cate for helping an "old girl who's not too well computer savvy"

La Rochere - Reversible Candle holder
