The Letter Farmer

It's Simple; write more real letters

Archives for October 2016

Summer Highlights

“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

We want to give a huge ‘thank you’ to everyone who came out to support The Letter Farmer during our very first summer! Boy, were we lucky, because this summer in Seattle was a beautiful one…the slow, sunny days gave us the chance to introduce ourselves to fellow letter writers all around town.

Our first “birthday” stop was at Walnut Street Coffee in Edmonds. Walnut’s owner Pam helped to make this stop a natural fit, and soon our big red truck became a familiar sight to Sunday regulars and their dogs.


The Downtown Seattle Association brought The Letter Farmer to the city, with weekly stops at Occidental Park and Westlake Park. The hustle and bustle of these parks inspired our signature gratis postcards; so that everyone can write! #writeherewritenow


What’s better on a sticky summer day than a cold brew and some letter writing? Not much! Peddler Brewing Company in Ballard offered the perfect relaxed letter writing atmosphere. We set up in their courtyard, where patrons could sip on microbrews and pen to pals – all with a warm breeze…ahhhh.


The Letter Farmer’s inaugural summer also got us thinking about singular and private events. We brought our truck to a private garden party, the Madison Park Art Walk, and Literary Happy Hour at The Ruins. Check under our Parties & Private Events tab if you’d like to bring The Letter Farmer to your next special event or corporate meeting.

Last but not least, we received some great features in The Seattle Times, Seattle magazine, and King 5 News. These pieces were amazingly far reaching, and the response from people who were inspired to write was truly moving. Check out the pieces in our Press section.

It was amazing to be welcomed with open arms into your communities this summer. Stay tuned for upcoming locations and events via our Calendar – there’s so much more to come!

Write on Letter Farmers, write on.

Letter writing month = reason for new stamps! Bec Letter writing month = reason for new stamps!  Because I was totally running low on stamps, ummm, maybe not.  But I couldn’t resist the new skateboard stamps!  I better get to writing and mailing some snail mail love so when the Roy Lichtenstein and Strega Nona stamps come out I wouldn’t feel so guilty running out to buy them, because I already know I will. 

Want to mail a letter with one of these stamps?  First event of the year is planned for April 30th, Sunday, at @rockgardenlyons

Mail art is my creative outlet. Wax seals, washi Mail art is my creative outlet.  Wax seals, washi tape, watercolor, brush lettering, vintage stamps, block prints - I ❤️ it all!  But most of all I love sending a word of encouragement, recalling a fond memory, planning a trip, and just putting a little more snail mail love into the world.

On my drive from Buena Vista, Colorado to Taos I w On my drive from Buena Vista, Colorado to Taos I was blown away by the sky.  Passing through one of the small, blink and you will miss it, towns before hitting the New Mexico border, I saw this US Post office on a beautiful building and had to turn around a get a picture.  Don’t always love driving, but love a road trip.

Snail mail love 🐌 📬❤️ heading to mailbox Snail mail love 🐌 📬❤️ heading to mailboxes!  I had such a fun time yesterday helping people pick out cards, stamps, and doing lots of wax seals.  2 of my favorite wax seals were used - a mailbox filled with flowers from @penpaling_paula and words I can get behind “better than an email”!

Had a lovely morning writing letters of gratitude Had a lovely morning writing letters of gratitude with my neighbors.  A beloved member of our community had to move due to health reasons, so we organized a time to sit and pause and take a moment to send her our love and gratitude through the written letter.  Know someone fierce and courageous?  Write to them and tell them you see them & admire them.
