New Canadian Postage Stamps and Letter Writing Club: Thursday, June 13th

New Canadian Postage Stamps and Letter Writing Club: Thursday, June 13th

Canada Post released some new postage stamps, and they’re looking pretty great. I’m normally not a fan of non square or rectangular postage stamps—I like my stamps to look like stamps—but the latest few releases are fun. I often order large quantities of stamps in bulk online for our Lettermail shipping, but it’s also nice to to visit your local post office and poke around.

Letter Writing Club + Parcel Snail Mail Inspiration

Oftentimes when you go to send a parcel through Canada Post, you bring your package to the post office so they can weigh it and charge you postage according to where you're going to send it.

Letter Writing Set + Letter Writing Club this Thursday

In celebration of spring and our upcoming monthly Letter Writing Club evening (this Thursday, April 13), I thought I would share a bit about our Letter Writing Set, a kit with stationery, a fountain pen & ink, and postage, everything you need to write a few letters.

Letter Writing Club Tonight (Thursday, January 12)

All you need to bring are a few addresses to write to, or of course you could always write the letters with a plan to address them later (this plan doesn't always work well for me as I lose track of my envelopes).

Letters to Santa Claus through Canada Post

Letters to Santa Claus through Canada Post

Our Letter Writing Club is happening again this Thursday (December 8) - the last one of 2016! crazy! - and I thought this was the perfect time to remind everyone of Canada Post's Letter Writing to Santa initiative.

Letter Writing Inspiration for Tonight's Letter Writing Club at the Shop

Our Letter Writing Club is tonight! I usually try to do a reminder post a few days earlier so people have time to think about whether or not they can make it, but of course I forgot - I do hope a few of you can still make it! Last month was one of my favourite Letter Writing Club meets to date: we had a bunch of great people, but also a few familiar faces that I hadn't seen in a while, including one who had just returned from spending a few months sailing around on a boat.

So we're back into the swing of things, and I almost forgot that our Letter Writing Club is this evening! It was so nice to come back from our trip to find a nice little pile of mail waiting for me mixed in with the bills and invoices and promotions.

Snail Mail Inspiration: Bookmark Enclosures + Letter Writing Club on Thursday

Our monthly Letter Writing Club is coming up! It's this Thursday evening. It sort of snuck up on me, but in a nice way, like a forgotten coffee date with a friend. Our last Thursday evening meet in May was a bit smaller, but I think I liked it a bit more intimate - there was more time to chat and take it easy.
