    Any ideas for a verse to go with silver pots? In Homebase I have seen some lovely 6" galvanized pots, but can't think of a verse for Christmas nibbles that I could use. I have already managed to get hold of some silver covered chocolates coins and sure that I can find some other silver treats to go in them.
