A Month of Letters

After seeing another participant in the Postal Reading Challenge commit to this endeavor, I decided to join as well. As she said it fits perfectly with the Reading Challenge, and as I love so to get personal mail, I will let others in on that pleasure.


The host says 23 days as she skips Sundays and statutory holidays, but our post offices are open Sundays and letter boxes are available at all times, so I see no reason to skip any days. Maybe it will get me out for a walk as well. As I said in my Postal Reading Challenge posting, I bought a box of literary postcards that will serve as a source for many of my mailings, but I also have a large collection of postcards from other sources and cards that I have picked up just because I like them.
I may even renew my membership to the Letter Writers Alliance.


This should be fun. Bring on February.

  5. I love the Penguin Postcards! The hardest part is sending them to people, I want to keep them all for myself and put them in frames-some of them are that gorgeous!

  7. I know what you mean about the Penguin Postcards, City Mink. I tend to collect postcards and such too. So I decided this is a great time to find appropriate recipients to them and pass them on for others to enjoy. I'm also using some of my general postcard stash from travels and such too.
