Hello Letter Lovers...

Presidential Post 💌

There have been some seriously cool letters come into our lives but Sam and I are honored to hang in our home, this personal letter from the President & Dr. Biden on the occasion of our wedding Friday September 2, 2022. 

Of course our utmost thanks to the individual who organized this very special memento. Sam and I are currently debating where one hangs history in the home. Here

2 Years of WML

This September marks 2 years of the Write More Letters Project. 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!

Thanks to 'The Hard Shoulder' of Newstalk Radio for having me on to discuss why though they're finicky, fountain pens hold a warm place in my heart.
