Monet and Me



are admiring the Happy Mail we received from Finnbadger at Envelope 100


He sent a First Day of Issue of the Year of the Horse Stamp. As you can see this gorgeous stamp from the Chinese Zodiac series was issued February 3, 2026 in Houston, Texas


Finnbadger also included a stunning postcard with wishes for the year of the Fire Horse. He noted the attributes of the Horse include strength, energy, motion, passion, and creativity.

Finn, you spoil me. The envelope arrived in the clear envelope in pristine condition. Thank you so much for thinking of me.

  2. That is a stunning postcard. And how cool that stamp got a first day issue mark too. Cloudy and damp here. Hope you have some sun today.
