I for a second time agree with offering a specialty within
the size limit. (Maybe I will offer a little teapot-- functional
but only in case you dislike drinking an entire cup of tea! :>})
However, Harvey's two mugs that I own are among the few
and dearest mugs in my collection. When my late beloved could no longer
shop but remembered I had a birthday, I started commissioning
people whose work I had seen at the mug exchange, for ONE MUG
to be from him, using his credit card # or check and certainly letting
Murray know it was from him.
I asked Harvey to make a mug on commission as I had seen one at the exchange.
He was amazingly kind enough to send me two treasures for same
price with a computer-made birthday card stating that one of
the mugs was from him.
I hope I haven't got you into anything you wish I hadn't spread
around, Harvey!
