Hello Letter Lovers...

New Video!

We're excited to announce we have a new video to show you! This 'BTS' (Behind the Scenes) style video covers how we take a letter from storage to feature on the website. Thanks to Rafal Kostrzewa for once again making our vision a reality. Learn how we take letters from flea markets to your screen.

War Widow Letters

Letters are amazing, don't you agree? Pen paling is helping connect some of the 34,000 'war widows' registered with the Australian Department of Veteran's Affairs.

Letter Ladies

Last month we took a trip over to Paris to meet up with our gorgeous letter writing ladies Alison, Alexandra and Liz. We couldn't miss a chance to visit La Musee de la Poste while we were there!

In our little quartet we had the U.K., Germany, and Ireland/America represented. Amazing how it all began with ink on a page. Do you penpal? Reply to this email and share your story!

Thanks to the ladies for their support of the 'Write More Letters' Project. Funds raised from the project support the charity Hope for the Warriors to help U.S. veterans and military families. Learn more here.

Book About Letters

It's May and we're talking all things 'Who's Got Mail? The History of Mail in America' by Linda Barrett Osborne. This addition to our nonfiction shelf became a fast favorite for its comprehensive and illuminating postal facts.
