I would say that letter writing continues to restore my faith in humanity all the time. That complete strangers are seeking connection via the mail, how amazing! Writing always makes me consider how I craft my words and express myself, though I frequently get too caught up in the moment to do anything other […]

I got a beautiful hand sewn postcard from a gal I’d formed an online relationship in 2012. The content on that postcard/is something I cherish today. Every time I start to doubt that I make a difference to the world I just have to glance at that framed postcard. My heart overflows.

I bought a typewriter as a way to shake things up in my letter-writing routine, and that has opened a whole new hobby! I’ve also gotten some fantastic book recommendations from my pen pals. Bonus: when I read the book that they recommended, it makes me that much more excited to write again and tell […]

I search high and low for the weirdest or most unusual stickers and rubber stamps that I can find. I also have a lot of postal themed rubber stamps. When I find a kindred ephemera addict, I insert random paper tokens. But of course my personality shines the most through my […]

I tend to doodle around the address and scribe a few warnings on the back. 😀

I have no talent for drawing, but I do have a substantial collection of stickers, washi tape, and wax seals! I try to choose decorations based on what I know about the recipient. Cute kittens for the cat […]

For the envelope I need a brush pen & stamps. For the letter I need a card, postcard or some blank paper & a pen I enjoy using. To make it more special I often include something I think the recipient would enjoy – a doodle, custom […]

Yes! I do every year. I’m sure 2025 will be no different! – Measi

Yes, unfortunately, my penpal does not write more than one page of a notepad (usually used for grocery list!) and she stopped answering my letter after only 5 letters to me.

I have added a few people. Hopefully the […]

Use of aerogramme and letter folded-locked. – Leila F.

My cousin once received mail with a dead, dried frog stuck to the envelope. It actually made it through the post as it predated mechanical sorting machines. My penpal, Miguel does beautiful artwork and calligraphy on his envelops. I am always very […]

My letters are never pre-planned – I always write entirely in the moment, so a few of them have definitely become self-reflective, even if they were going to other people! – Measi

I sometimes write letters that I never plan to send. It can be to someone in my life (a friend or family member I’m feeling […]
