I’ve just handwritten several this afternoon in fact I’m a proud member of The Handwritten Letter Appreciation Society here in the UK! There are now 1860 members in 38 countries. I love using a fountain pen, coloured inks and beautiful stationery.
The cost of postage overseas is prohibitive for many people though. A letter weighing 100g is $4.24 from the UK to USA and takes a week (£3.20 GBP) 🤷♀️
You are so right! I just wrote a letter to my daughter last week. I remember with love and gratitude all the heartfelt letters my mother wrote to me over the years, back when we had no alternative, and I want her to have the same gift!

Not to mention the joy you brought to someone else in the world! (this is making me think that we should exchange a letter...:)
That’s very true Amy, my friends say they actually keep my letters as they love them so much! So much nicer to receive than bills in brown envelopes!
You’re bringing joy to the masses!
Not sure about the masses haha but I do my best! It’s good to know I’m not the only one too! 😊
Oh wow, that’s so wonderful! I love everything you said - a society, a fountain pen, coloured inks and stationary 💖💖💖

Well, Amy - You know I am a believer in handwritten notes/letters! Hope all is well. Happy Easter..,
You're the best at this. Happy Easter!!! Hello to those Wells readers and writers :)
I didn’t know this was a thing. I love writing letters.
It's a thing! Keep writing :)
Love this! And now I’m planning a postcard and cool stamps outing, after too many days writing on screens. Thanks, Amy!
It’s so fun. And maybe it’s a ploy on my part. Whenever I write about it, I get mail (two letters this week :)
Your post made me smile 😁
Thank you. 😁
Thank you for reading 🥰. And I just got two in the mail from that post - which makes me so happy :)
I love that quote :D And your lettering is so beautiful.
Thank you! I’m so critical of self - I appreciate 💖
