Wax-sealed letters written with a quill, homemade envelopes, love-heart stickers, #YearOfTheLetter stampers, pretty stamps, nice red postboxes. Just a little pick-me-up postal pick-and-mix, if you will… ☺️📮✉️☀️

Wishing you all a cake-filled, card-filled, candle-filled, correspondence-filled, cute-notebook-filled, cup-of-tea-filled, kind of an evening… ✨

Couldn’t let the 300th #PostboxSaturday go by without a little impromptu celebration at the original postbox. Some bubbly, red velvet cake and candles! The sun came out just at the right time as well as some friendly passersby. Thanks so much to everyone for joining in over the years. 😁📮🍾🎂🎉

Have you got all your ducks in a row for tomorrow’s 300th #PostboxSaturday? Looking forward to seeing some quacking (sorry) postbox photos! Just wing it if you have to! 😄📮🦆🎉

Having letters to post is the best motivation for exercise I know… 📮🚶‍♂️👍

Because who else was I going to send the first use of my new #YearOfTheLetter stamper to… (the tiny King Charles stamps are adorable) ☺️✉️

“Oh, look! It’s Gran and Grandpa’s old phones and hard-drives from the beginning of the millennia! Do you have a device or charger and all the passcodes so we can scroll through all their old emails and messages?” Just a gentle reminder, please write a few letters, folks. 💌

So excited to share our new membership badges… (Thanks to Best Badges for all their help) #MembershipPacks 😍✉️🎉

It’s a bold statement but I’ve always considered our posties as heroes… 🦸💌👍

Thank you so much for always making the #DeskGallery in the Letter Writing Shed such a delight… #LetterWritingSunday 💌

An apple a day keeps the doctor away! Letters also doing their bit. #PostboxSaturday ☺️📮🍏🩺

“You're going to make a difference. A lot of times it won't be huge, it won't be visible even. But it will matter just the same.” It’s a quote from Batman but it definitely applies to letter writing too. Happy #PostboxSaturday, folks! 😄📮🦇🏙️

Happy #PostboxSaturday from this George VI pillar box still in service outside a former Post Office in East Dulwich. 💌 @letterappsoc.bsky.social

We’ve got a new stamper to help spread the word for the #YearOfTheLetter! So hot off the production line they have just been listed today! Huge thanks to Yve and team for helping with this. Can’t wait to start using it! 🥳✉️🔥 More info here: thehandwrittenletterappreciationsociety.org/adventures-i...

The last of the outstanding membership packs headed out yesterday. Thanks so much if you were waiting on yours. It’ll be with you soon! ☺️📮🎉

AMELIA UPDATE: She's receiving cards from all over the world. She might make her last birthday wish come true as she is on target for her 8000 cards. Let's help this beautiful little girl while we still can... Please see my pinned post on how to send Amelia an 8th Birthday card. See more here. xx

Just to highlight why I absolutely don’t mind about Christmas cards arriving weeks after Christmas. And I can read all the horrors of war but receiving mail from someone in the midst of it really is something different. Such kindness too. 🥹🎄🇺🇦💌

Our fab friends at Beeny-Made have made us some beautiful stickers. Click the link if you would like to order some directly from them. They really are lovely! 🥰💌 thehandwrittenletterappreciationsociety.org/beautiful-th...

How long do you leave the completed wet weekend jigsaw puzzle out for? 😄🧩📮💭❤️

Decided to hunt out a box mentioned in the fantastic book “The Postal Paths” by Alan Cleaver for #PostboxSaturday @lbsg.org @letterappsoc.bsky.social

One of my favourite times of the year is the annual recycling of a Jo Grundy calendar into pretty envelopes. (Thanks so much to Sarah for sending me her old one) #LetterWritingSunday 🥰🗓️✂️💌♻️

Make of this what you will… #PostboxSaturday 😬📮🦊🐓

Got to love iconic postboxes in iconic places! Would sort of expect nothing less than a few protest posters on the ones nearest the Houses of Parliament, but also that Royal Mail would want to keep them looking tip-top. Have a lovely #PostboxSaturday, everyone! #London 🤩📮🏰

Happy #PostboxSaturday from this George VI pillar box quietly doing its thing in suburban Shirley, on the border between Croydon and Bromley. 💌 @letterappsoc.bsky.social

You get the impression it must be a good book when your local bookshop says “No, sorry, the publishers are out of stock” and the library has 200 people already in the queue to borrow it and you’ve had about 10 recommendations to read it. Here goes… 😄📕✉️

Happy #SquirrelAppreciationDay, everyone! Axel Scheffler drew this little squirrel stamper for us to help raise funds for The Handwritten Letter Appreciation Society. Go nuts and treat yourself to one! (See link if yes - we get 10% on all sales) 😍🌳🐿️🌰💌 www.englishstamp.com/product/thla...

Letters, like the cosmos, bring order to the chaos… 😌✉️🪐

Looking to put some quotes by members on the website homepage, so was wondering “What does The Handwritten Letter Appreciation Society mean to you?” (Do add your Membership No. if possible) Thanks everso for your help, Dinah ☺️✉️📝 thehandwrittenletterappreciationsociety.org

Mondays, for mountains of mail! (including mugs and memberships) 🤩⛰️📮🎉

Got to get your ugly barcode kicks where you can… #NoToCodes ☺️✉️👍

PS: We'd be overjoyed if you'd help support Amelia to fulfil her dream - this little girl from the West Midlands in the UK has been through so much, & through it all has demonstrated nothing but tenacity and grace. IMPORTANT: Please do not send gifts, only cards. Thank you xx

Amelia may be seeing her last ever birthday in a couple of weeks, due to being in palliative care with neuroblastoma. Her last birthday wish is to break a UK Record, immortalising her name & memory for all who love her, by receiving 8000 birthday cards for her 8th Birthday. Details in comments >>

Always lovely when friends pop by the Letter Writing Shed for a little drinky-poo… Happy Saturday, everyone! 😄🍻💌👍

Life is littered with lemons. Let letters lighten the load. 🍋💌

A beautifully decorated envelope from Emily is just the thing to bring a smile on #PostboxSaturday! 🥰📮❤️

Rest assured, no-one need ever feel left alone on #PostboxSaturday. There are loads of us out and about around the world capturing photos of our local postboxes in celebration of these beautiful iconic historic magical postal portals. Join us! 😄📮👀🌍👍

BIG Thanks to the lovely postie who paused his deliveries on a drizzly day in Welling to snap me making use of this George V pillar box. 💌 #PostboxSaturday @letterappsoc.bsky.social

Ha, great stuff. #PostboxSaturday didn’t officially start until May 2020 but well done for forward planning! 😂📮👍 thehandwrittenletterappreciationsociety.org/adventures-i...

Truly touched that we’ve had 22 new members in just 4 days. Thank you so much for believing in letter writing and The Handwritten Letter Appreciation Society. Find me up here in my Letter Writing Shed over the next few days writing welcoming letters. ☺️✍️✉️✨

If you’re feeling a bit Eeyore or like your days are all a muddle (it should say WED), send a letter and cheer two people up in one go (that’s you and the recipient). It works, I promise. #YearOfTheLetter 🫏✉️✨☺️
