It makes me want to go get a second cup of tea this morning.Melisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15817085403898788858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402833299860787322.post-45270057612497487582014-02-23T15:40:03.375-08:002014-02-23T15:40:03.375-08:00Lynn - Thank you.

I've been a New Yorker all my life and had never been to Harlem until I went there with the NYC Urban Sketchers. Now I was back a second time. It is a happening place. lol<br /><br />Lisa - Thank you. We had a nice visit. I wish it could have been longer.<br /><br />Margaret - Thanks so much!<br /><br />Sirkka - LOL By the time I sketched the mug most of the tea was gone. Thanks.<br /><br />Ann - Thanks. I take good care of it. I don't know how it cracked.<br /><br />Giggles - I'll have to be careful with it. I never thought about it cracking and burning me.
