I know we are two weeks into the new year and nearing the end of the shelf life of saying "Happy New Year," but I didn't get a chance to say it to you yet, so HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Did you know about new years pigs and gnomes? Apparently this was a big thing 100+ years ago (might still be, I don't know). In a lot of Northern European and Scandinavian traditions, pigs are a symbol of good luck and prosperity. I guess gnomes are also a part of the Christmas tradition in those northern lands and so you see a lot of gnome and pig Christmas/New Years Cards.
I thought I'd do my own this year...and I let the weirdness of the subject matter wash over me. Which resulted in me coming up with a pig wreath.
Alison and the kids gave it mixed reviews. So I didn't post it on IG, but I thought you'd like it.
Here's a bunch more pig and gnome cards I found online. There's more here LINK
