The Handwritten Letter Appreciation Society
@letterappsoc.bsky.social
To inspire people to write handwritten letters to each other. #PostboxSaturday
Letters on watermarked paper have to be in the Top 10 of romantic items, don’t they? Also, 1) how do paper mills do that, and 2) imagine never having held a sheet of paper up to the light and been all “Oh, look at that!” 😍☀️📄💭

A big push today to get the last of the membership packs in the post so they arrive for Christmas. No Mary and Joseph puns intended, but I did find the perfect Christmassy placename for them in my THLAS (aka AA) road atlas. Can you spot it? #LetterWritingSunday 😌🔎🗺️✨🫏🎄💌

Felt very humbled as I went to the postbox this evening that quite a few folk had gifted membership to The Handwritten Letter Appreciation Society for Christmas. It’s always an honour to be a part of someone’s special day. Thanks so much to everyone for believing in THLAS. 🥰🎁🎄

Huge thanks to Piece Of The Past Crafts for finding these little beauties from 2012 for me. Perhaps 2026 will be the year for some more tiny Axel Scheffler stamps, especially lovely for postcards! (Yes please, #RoyalMail!) 😍🔎✍️📮👍
