Hello Letter Lovers...

Happy Valentine's

If you happen to run an archive of vintage love letters, today is the day for celebrating exactly that. We are beyond lucky to have spent almost a decade (this year we turn 9!) finding and featuring over 700 letters from 30+ series...with something like 2,300 left to go!

For a taste of what we're all about visit our letters page or check out this blog post of romantic lines. 

'Postmarked'

If you're curious to learn more about the archive and about the stories of our very real, very human letter writers, join us Wednesday March 11th, 2026 7pm GMT // 2pm EST for our FREE virtual event: 'Postmarked: Exploring the Flea Market Love Letters Archive'. 

From Me to You

Well done to our friends at From Me to You for their successful 2nd annual 24hour letter writing marathon last weekend to mark World Cancer Day. I was delighted to be asked to host the 1-3pm hours of the marathon. It was a pleasure to meet some Flea Market readers in the room!
