Good idea. May even put up a small shelf below it and adorn the sealed pot on there. Il be on those country lanes before I know it.Sealed Pot Challenge:

Il keep an eye out for the MGB prints. I need something to go in my lounge, it would inspire me to keep working hard, as its a car I will own one day, how soon, depends on mostly my work ethic and a bit of luck I guess. May even start my own diary as a journey to that & a mortgage deposit.
I'd highly recommend starting a diary Struggling Youth. I find it helps me to stay conscious where money's concerned and make considered purchases.

A lovely day out in town yesterday with the girls:
- friend drove so I paid for parking - £5
- 2nd friend bought coffees
- delivered the MGB to her customer
- a Thai lunch - £13 which will come from my personal spends
- no recreational spending :A
- popped into another friends on the way home who provided coffee and a fresh cream, home made Victoria sponge. How could anyone resist that?
- listed the MGB as a limited edition print on Folk$y and the Bay
- had a very light supper to make up for the cake indiscretion
Which do you think I should use?
It would be lovely to have some help with this and I'm asking my Folk$y forum friends too. I will put the names of anyone who contributes into a draw to receive a free copy of the winning card.
Thank you for your help

[/LIST]I am about to get some greetings cards printed and want to use 5 designs. I've decided to use the MGB, the Land Rover, the Peacock Butterfly and the Boat. Which leaves one undecided.

This makes absolute sense! They look a lot like the beach huts along the top coast of Kent too!Sealed Pot Challenge:
