AH-HA!!  I think we can hook her good if we all send pictures of merchants 
and all the wonderous offerings and pictures of several of us going on a 
group shopping stroll.  We can send photos of Devera's shoppe and the 
Pepperers and all the others we know and love who merchant.  Oh!  And we 
must make note of some of the fine and good bargins to be had at midnight 
maddness and at the end of the war as merchants are so fatigued they would 
rather sell cheap than have to pack it.  Oh, and a couple good pictures of 
the shoppe that has probably a thousand pounds of amber in all forms.  Then 
for good measure, perhaps a picture or two of some of the lusty blade and 
armor smiths...
