With #WorldPostcardDay just around the corner, would anyone like a postcard from THLAS HQ? Put a favourite emoji or why you like postcards (or both) in the comments by 8pm (UK time) on 24th Sept and I’ll pick two recipients from X, Instagram, Facebook & Bluesky to send to. 🥳✉️🎉

Wowsers! Nearly 500 postcards for the #PostcardDrop2025! I’m hiring a Village Hall to lay them all out in but it’s up in Oxfordshire so if you wanted a postcard in the big photo for #WorldPostcardDay please can they arrive at THLAS HQ by Friday 26th September. 463 so far! 🤩💌

If you miss proper postmarks as much as we do there’s a lovely postbox postmark stamper for your letters from the @englishstamp company that you can customise for where you live. (THLAS gets a fab 10% commission on each one sold too!) 🤩💌👍 www.englishstamp.com/art-stamps/t...

31 wonderful postcards have arrived at THLAS HQ since Saturday for The Big Summer Holiday #PostcardDrop2025 making the total so far a huge 200! Will we beat the equally amazing 340 received in 2023 and show the world postcards still matter? thehandwrittenletterappreciationsociety.org/the-big-summ...

More wonderful postcards have arrived at THLAS HQ in the last couple of days. Here are yesterday’s fabulous ones… (Would anyone mind if I sneak the Mr T notecard into the collection? He has sent pretty postcards on occasions) #PostcardDrop2025 🤩✉️🪂🎉

THLAS is at the Swanage address but that will need a stamp. The Royal Mail CEO one is a FREEPOST one. 👍
June 4, 2025 at 6:26 PM
Glad you like it! It’s just Freepost to Royal Mail not THLAS HQ unfortunately. I hope I haven’t confused anyone. Postcards from staycations or just from people’s home towns are all welcome whether you’ve been away or not. ☺️👍

@letterappsoc.bsky.social herewith the postcard sending you at THLAS
It’s Nicholas Bear (the last bear) and like my other card part of a small postcard collection I designed (as love postcards) 👇#PostcardDrop2025

Had such a lovely time up the Letter Writing Shed this weekend tidying and sorting and putting up all the beautiful cards that arrived at THLAS HQ last week. Your encouragement and kindness truly spurs me on in our quest to get the world writing letters again. Thanks everso! ☺️💌

Sunday happy place… Thank you so much for all the letters and cards that arrive at THLAS HQ. You really are the loveliest. #DeskGallery ☺️🏠💌

Would you be interested in being interviewed about why letters mean so much. I’ve been contacted by a tv company wanting to speak to Danish people about their experiences? If yes do email me at [email protected] for more info. No pressure, obvs. Dinah

What a wonderful day! More fabulous letters arrived at THLAS HQ today posted on #PennyBlackDay, adorned with #VEDay80 postmarks, plus afternoon tea with the incredible D-Day veteran, Peter, aged 100 years young! 🥳🎩💌🎉
May 8, 2025 at 6:12 PM
It hatched! Thank you so much to everyone who writes to THLAS HQ. Your letters are a wonderful reminder that what we’re doing (trying to keep letter writing alive) is so important. 😁🐣💌

I love this! All the cricket references especially! Thank you so much. When we go on our THLAS Grand Tour 2027 to village greens and coastal towns I’ll make sure to have a score card and a trustworthy passenger! 😄📮🏏🗺

I've made a poster to print out and put up in the real world to encourage and inspire people to celebrate the 185th anniversary of #PennyBlackDay. You're very welcome to copy and share in your neck of the woods too. Let's make Rowland Hill proud! 🥳✉️🎉 (Happy to email the image via [email protected])
April 17, 2025 at 1:36 PM
Yep!
There's all the THLAS folks (and those not in THLAS!), there's all the Postcrossing folks. And all the folks who, for whatever reason, don't want/choose to use email.

Maybe I should rephrase that: Hi! I've been a member for a while. How many members are there in THLAS now? ✉️📯
March 1, 2025 at 9:46 AM
Thank you so much to everyone who has sent a card or letter for our return visit to a local care home in March. Delighted to report 10 have arrived safely at THLAS HQ so far. You’re lovely! #RandomActsOfKindness 🥰✉️❤️

Happy #ValentinesDay to all the wonderful letter writers, card senders, note-makers, penpals, postcard purchasers, and THLAS members! You don’t need to be in love to send something today, just send something and it’ll be loved! ☺️💌💕
