October 2022 Edition.

Hello Letter Lovers...

Postal Museum Event 💌

Someone pinch me! I'm delighted and honored to say that on November 2nd, 2022 we'll be part of an event titled "An Appreciation of Letters" hosted virtually by the Smithsonian Postal Museum.

Learn more about the evening here. A recording will be available afterwards. It would be beyond amazing to see friends of Flea Market in the digital audience so if you can join, it would be great to have you there.

A Book About Letters

For the "Appreciation of Letters" event we'll be supporting the editors of this October's 'Book About Letters': "Between Home and the Front: Civil War Letters of the Walters Family". 

If you're already thinking of the holidays, this letter anthology is a must-have for the history buff in your life.

Postbox Liz 

Three cheers for our fabulous friend and letter writing ambassador Liz Kentish! Liz raised2,333gbp for the From Me to You charity...dressed as a postbox delivering postcards for World Postcard Day earlier this month. Brava Liz!

Donate December

There's a chill in the air that can't be mistook...winter is in on its way! And with the darkness come out the fluffy blankets and hot coco but also the always present need for donated From Me to You letters. So pick up a pack of your favorite pens, stock up on stamps -- especially Queen Elizabeth II ones if you're U.K. based! -- and join us on December 8th for the final 2022 From Me to You workshop!

Write More Letters

Through the sale of mugs, totes, tees, and hoodies we raise funds for the charity "Hope For the Warriors" which benefits U.S. Veterans and Military families. Thank you to all who have supported the initiative and continue to spread the letter writing word! 

"Collector Corner"

This is where I like to share articles, videos, interviews etc. Basically, all things letters from around the Internet! Do you know of an interesting letter story? Reply to this email and I will feature it in an upcoming newsletter. 

"This is who they came from..."

When two young women found World War II love letters, they never anticipated the adventure the letters would bring them on.

Talking Letters

Thanks to Keeley Ryan for chatting with me for Chic magazine recently on why letter writing matters. It's always such a thrill to talk letters and Keeley was an absolute delight to chat with on a rainy Dublin afternoon. More of that, please!
