The Handwritten Letter Appreciation Society
@letterappsoc.bsky.social
To inspire people to write handwritten letters to each other. #PostboxSaturday
I’ve made some laminated signs to tie to our beautiful postboxes to help spread the word for #ChristmasCardDay if anyone would like one for their local postbox too. Just email me at thlas@outlook.com if yes and I can send you one! String included! Dinah 😁📮🎄🧶🎉

Sometimes the postbox is the best view you get from the top of Mount Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa! Huge thanks to Julie for braving the climb to send photos for #PostboxSaturday! 😄⛰️☁️📮🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

A new member sent me these lovely little (now obsolete, I think?) postcard rate stamps. I’ve never seen them before, but #RoyalMail, pleeeeaaase reconsider about making an affordable postcard stamp. It would be such a wonderful good news story. Thanks everso. #PostcardTuesday 🤩💌

Happy #LetterWritingSunday! One of the loveliest things is to arrange all the beautiful cards and postcards that have arrived at THLAS HQ for the #DeskGallery up the shed to admire while writing letters. Thanks everso to everyone who writes with news and encouragement. It means such a lot. 💌

#PostboxSaturday in Thailand makes for a double Land of Smiles! Fingers crossed for a postcard from one of them too! 😁📮🇹🇭🤞❤️

Funny to think my little letter I posted yesterday is out there somewhere in the cosmos. Also, who knew about the Seyfert Galaxy? Well, me, now. (Sort of) #philately ☺️🤯🌌💌

They died so that I could sit in peace and safety in my little Letter Writing Shed and write letters to whomever I want. It’s the least I could do… #ArmisticeDay #LestWeForget #WeWillRememberThem 😔🇬🇧💌

Rain stopped play (work) so made a poster for #ChristmasCardDay instead. Appearing on postboxes soon! 🥳🎄📮🎉

Thanks so much to everyone who knows the power of handwritten letters. The fact that someone took the trouble to write and send such a lovely letter feels like the perfect example of why handwritten letters still matter. They properly make a person’s day. 💌

Love how even our beautiful historic iconic postboxes have a sense of respect and reflection about them on important national occasions. Wishing you all a peaceful #PostboxSaturday. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget 😌📮🇬🇧❤️

I’m gonna chance it. It’s only going inland but I wanted the young’un to experience a proper aerogramme, just the once. Anyone remember them first time round? 😁✈️✉️

Have a lovely evening, folks, whatever you’re up to! #UpTheShed ☺️💌🎆

Paintings and Poetry from Amarillo would make a lovely mindfulness book. Also I’d forgotten that beautiful poem was on our website… 😌📖✉️🍂 thehandwrittenletterappreciationsociety.org/poetry-2

Remember there is a FREEPOST address for Royal Mail if you would like to take part in celebrating #ChristmasCardDay and Sir Henry Cole on 9th December but can’t afford the stamps. Let’s also fill RM HQ with Christmas cheer and wise words about our beloved postal service. 🥰📮👑💌

Dear Friends, Please help us celebrate #ChristmasCardDay, & the brilliant Sir Henry Cole who invented them, by filling your local postboxes with Christmas cards on 9th December. More info via link. Yours in early Christmas cheer, Dinah 🥳🎄📮 thehandwrittenletterappreciationsociety.org/lets-make-ch...

Let’s hope the postcard with the money arrived otherwise double forgiveness is going to be needed. Moral of the story, carry some cash on you for postcards at all times. #PostcardTuesday 😌🙏💌

Happy #PostboxSaturday everyone! Last of the Oxford postbox back-catalogue for now, but look what we found on our visit. A ginormous VR wall box and postbox chocolate bars! Very tasty they were too! 😍📮🏛️🍫
November 1, 2025 at 9:05 AM
This one too! Designed to distract from the ugly old barcode, but actually it’s made me much more excited to buy the definitives again! Hoping Charles will be amused… #ChristmasCardDay 😁👑🎄💌 www.englishstamp.com/art-stamps/t...
