A very exciting morning ...we joined the Sunday Letter Project just three weeks ago.
This morning our first introductory letter arrived .....all the way from Australia.
The Sunday Letter Project is all about connection and taking time, pledge to write one letter on Sunday to family, friends, yourself or a pen pal via the global Letter-Keeper network.
We're absolutely delighted to be part of the project as a Letter-Keeper we're hoping more letters will arrive soon from other parts of the world.
Who doesn't love receiving a letter that someone has taken the time to sit down and handwrite .
Find out more about how it works at Rebecca & Karl
And of course visit the shop read our delightful first letter and maybe send a reply 😊
