Nature Photo-cards — 4 new designs
Jane Hurst has put together some very attractive cards featuring photographs taken by friends and family, all of whom suffer from ME or who have family members who do. They are printed on quality card and make excellent birthday cards or thank you notes, and would also make ideal gifts in their own right. You can choose from two packs of five assorted cards, and Pack 1 contains four new designs for 2010. The cards include a wonderfully atmospheric photo of Stonehenge, a beautiful close up a cat, Tequila, and a truly stunning shot of a sunset over Fistral Beach in Cornwall. All proceeds will go to ME Research UK and the 25% ME Group. So far the cards have raised a total of £1,500, shared between both charities, and since the last advert they have introduced five new designs (all in pack 2) which include a wonderfully atmospheric shot of Stonehenge, a beautiful close up of a Red Admiral and a truly stunning shot of sunset over Fistral beach, New Quay.
If you would like to order, please contact Jane Hurst at 12 Malten Close, Poringland, Norwich NR14 7RW, or by e-mail at jane@lhurst99.freeserve.co.uk, stating your name and address, and enclosing a cheque made payable to ‘Paul Hurst’. Payment can also be made via Paypal. Please also state whether you would like Pack 1 or Pack 2 (or both!). The cards cost £3.99 per pack (plus 55p postage per pack). Individual cards can also be purchased at £1 per card plus postage at cost, by e-mailing Jane for further details.
