The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

No.343: 52 Weeks, 52 Letters Project // Weeks #1-4

This post contains affiliate links.


One of my big goals for 2020 is to send at least one piece of snail mail out every week.  Keeping track of my progress here on the blog will help keep me accountable and I’ll also get to share with you some small stationery businesses.  Maybe it will even encourage you to join in on the fun!

WEEK 1 (Jan 1-5)

Starting the new year off strong with three packages!  I sent a baby gift to a pregnant loved one and used such a sweet card from Alexa Z Design.  I also sent off board books wrapped in gold paper, sharing our Epiphany tradition to two of my favorite little buddies.  The cards I used for those are from Quill & Fox.

WEEK 2 (Jan 6-12)

This week took us out of our post-Christmas fog and back into reality!  We worked on seven thank-you cards during our first day back to school.  These cards are from one of my favorite stationery shops, Phoebe & June.  We also wrote seven cards for the kids’ CCD teachers (our last class before Christmas was cancelled due to freezing rain) in appreciation for their hard work.  (Same cards from Quill & Fox.)

WEEK 3 (Jan 13-19)

For Week 3, I sat down and wrote a long note to a penpal.  The rainbow notecard came from Mercy House Global, another organization that I really love.  (This particular card looks to be sold out, but they have lots of other options.)  I also included a little party confetti from Knot & Bow, just for fun.

WEEK 4 (Jan 20-26)

This adorable card was from Cotton Blossom Press and made me immediately think of my aunt in Maine.  I spent entirely too much space chatting about the weather, but whatcha gonna do?  (My grandmothers used to write me letters when I was a kid and always wrote paragraphs about the weather.  Now I understand, ha!)  

CURRENT SNAIL MAIL TOTAL: 19

    I am SO behind on reading my *favorite* blogs– between the kids and myself being sick for basically all of December and January, I am just now coming up for air!!
    But I wanted to say that I got my card & it put the BIGGEST smile on my face. Thank you for being such a devoted friend and for reminding me how fun it is to get "snail mail". I'll be writing you back soon.
    xoxo
