New York
Sue Kerr drew nineteen of the most world-famous and historic landmarks in The Big Apple. We offer two gift boxes, the “Entertainment/Tourist” box and the “Financial/Historic” box. From the historic Ellis Island of The Melting Pot, to Wall Street and the NYSE of the Capital of the World, to Times Square at the Center of the Universe, all and many more are part of the collection, reflecting New York City’s greatness and historic significance. (New York was our first capital city! Our First President, George Washington was inaugurated there.) Sue’s nineteen drawings feature The City That Never Sleeps in all its glory–drawings to please native New Yorkers and tourists alike.

Thank You Card Set
Our favortite piece from this city with an extra “Thank You” note worked into the drawing.
Ten cards per box. Each drawing of the city’s skyline
Better than a text or email, a thank you note by its very nature is more heartfelt–unless you’re a kid being forced to do it.* Even then, it may be creating good habits into adulthood.
The city’s skyline includes The Freedom Tower, The Empire State Building, and the Brooklyn Bridge.
*A suggestion: grandparents could gift a box of them to their grandchildren in order to insure receiving thank you notes from them. (Maybe you could include stamps with the gift.)
