wanted: couple of 600x600 pavers

Hello all
Just need 2.5 pavers of 600x600mm size to finish my little frontyard project - any colour or condition, actually prefer secondhand/weathered. The .5 is a half - so 600 x300- or even a broken fullsize may work (as half can be cut out of a broken one).

Hi Neighbours!
This past year I have been making Perfume and selling through my online Art Gallery (I am an artist :D ) and I have had a number of requests to come and smell them, and as I work from home it occurred to me to put them somewhere and I just wondered if anyone knew of any local, small businesses or even charity shops that might want to pick up a small perfume line and split the profits/20% commission? I sell them for $8 and so I am willing to sell them for $10 and the shop will gain $2 per bottle.... or something to that affect.. I use good bottles with labels, tags and pretty organza bags. They are Perfume oils which are **VEGAN, PHTHALATE FREE, GLUTEN FREE & CRUELTY FREE! -Locally sourced and lovingly handmade. I am seling them on trade me if someone wants to see what they look like?

**If anyone is interested, please let me know. :)
