I am super happy with how October's edition turned out. I love the fall vibe so much! 🍂 I hope the lovely souls who ordered will love it as much as I loved making it for them 🫶🏻🌼💌

Inside:

• A4 letter + print on the back
• A5 art print, with a postcard on the reverse
• A5 illustrated recipe

My letters and paper goods are always a surprise, so I never share them beforehand. The letter is the main character of this club, it's not really about the art or the extras. It's about taking a moment for yourself, a little pause, like reading a page from a book. I call it a paper ritual.

Oh, and not to forget, your name is handwritten on the letter and is not pre-printed. Also my name at the end of the letter is handwritten to make it all more personal <3

I love a wax seal! 🕯️But also stamps, embossers, pretty stamps and everything in between 💌

Hi everyone! I run Paula’s Post Moments, a monthly snail mail subscription for anyone who misses getting real mail. Each month subscribers receive a letter written in a typewriter style font and signed by hand, plus a small handmade extra like an art print, postcard, or wax seal, tied together with string before it’s sent out.

It’s meant to feel like a little paper ritual, a quiet pause you can look forward to each month.

Happy to answer any questions, and always open to shop-swaps or feedback from fellow makers!

Oh, what you can make from thrifed finds. I love it!

Like, how do you draw the ‘bubbles’ and the reflection in them? It always looks like a chaos in my drawings, lol. Any tips for how to draw the finer details in oil pastel paintings? Any other tips are welcome too! I am just a hobby-ist.

Today a subscriber messaged me to say her first letter arrived. She mentioned she could only afford 3 months right now but wanted me to know she loves it.

I don’t know. Moments like this remind me why physical mail still matters. Someone took the time to write back. That alone made my whole week. 🫶🏻🌼

What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received about something you made or sent?

I am a beginner, but I love how this turned out.

How do you draw fine details like tiny white spots as a light reflection/shiny effect? Or little birds in the sky or anything that is in the detail. Is there a ‘hack’? Do you use different media / materials or do you wait until the base layer dried out a bit more? Any tips are welcome!
