Hello 2026
I begin each New Year’s Day by sharing a whimsical pig-themed antique postcard from my collection. Just three days into 2025, I acquired - and have been impatiently waiting to show you - this impossibly adorable and stunning work of graphic art, postmarked in 1922 in Basel, Switzerland, featuring a pair of pigs in a basket suspended by twin child clowns proclaiming Happy New Year.
For 2026 I wish you and yours an abundance of joy and happiness, frivolity and mirth, and good health and good luck - something I’ll need in spades to find another card as special as this one!


I count on you keeping the count and share it frequently! Motivates me and others to keep going. Thank you! Joy and resistance in 2026!
Happy New Year, health and happiness to you and yours in 2026 and beyond!
