Instagrammer of the week #035 – The Dear You Project

Snail mail lovers, the Dear You Project’s Instagram feed will fill you with inspiration and perhaps a little mail envy too. Created by the very talented Beatrice (who lives in a small town in Italy), it’s a visual diary of incoming and outgoing mail as well as requests for pen pals. Paper nerds will love this feed!

Instagrammer of the week #033 – Writing a Letter

If you’re a fan of snail mail you’re going to love Amanda’s (from Writing a Letter) Instagram feed. All the pictures of pretty, decorated mail inspires me to catch up on my letter writing. Are you a fan of letter writing too?

Marvelous Moglea

It will come as absolutely no surprise to most of you that I LOVE mail. I love sending it. I love receiving it. This week I’ve caught up on my overdue snail mail – it’s always a great feeling putting a bunch of letters in the post box!

With letter writing comes the inevitable hunt for more stationery which brings me to Moglea. These gorgeous letterquettes would make a very welcome addition to any letter writers out there.

(P.S. Want to be my pen pal? My address is over there on the side bar –>)

Mail Goodies by Papered Thoughts


I love sending snail mail. I also love receiving snail mail (hint, hint SEND ME MAIL!) I’m not the most inventive person when it comes to decorating my envelopes though which is why I think Papered Thoughts is an awesome store.

If you want to convert your plain, white envelope into something more visually appealing have a browse. They have lots of cool stuff from pre-decorated envelopes to neon stickers and confetti tape.

A big YAY for people like Papered Thoughts, for turning mail into little works of art.

Send some snail mail

I really love getting letters in the mail. I even have a few pen pals scattered around the world. While plain white paper and plain white envelopes are good, these lovelies are so much better! (Hey write to me and I’ll write you back! Address is at the top right of the page).
