Happy World Postcard Day and fifth birthday of the Little Free Mailbox! I had to look up to confirm when I put up the mailbox, and I can't believe it's been five years already. Thank you to prolific postcarder for these amazing Postcrossing cards. These have international postage so they would be great if you're interested in trying Postcrossing. I also added a selection of World Postcard Day postcards to send to your your domestic friends.

Thank you, neighborhood artist, for the lovely hand painted Rosh Hashanah and Sukkot postcards. The honey bears are just the sweetest!

It's slightly cooler today than the past two days, with a 105 degree heat index. Whether you're venturing out or staying in, stop by for some more or less patriotic and Philadelphia themed postcards!

I came back after neglecting the Little Free Mailbox for a month, between the end of middle school festivities, a week out of town, and some kind of plague, to find that it had been taken care of in my absence. Thank you to the neighborhood artist for the adorable hand painted matryoshka and frozen treats postcards (mint chocolate chip is my personal favorite) and to the anonymous donor of a pile of thank you cards. It's been so lovely that, as I've found myself somehow ever more busy and occasionally irritated at the minor vandalism, the community has stepped in whenever I've stepped away. More to come soon, however!

The annual Little Free Mailbox with cherry tree photo, from a few weeks ago and posted belatedly. I'm still having periodic trouble with kids taking out all the cards and scattering them around the neighborhood, so I'm continuing to put out small quantities of stationery at a time. It's discouraging, but not discouraging enough to give up on it!

This is a belated acknowledgement, but there are still some left! An anonymous artist left quite a few of these fantasti...

This is a belated acknowledgement, but there are still some left! An anonymous artist left quite a few of these fantastic hand painted postcards, in anticipation of Passover treats. I'm especially partial to the fruit slices (both the cards and in real life).

Happy no-longer-February! Back when I was having trouble with the Little Free Mailbox being repeatedly cleaned out and I was being very judicious about how much stuff I put out at a time, shared these Dungeons and Dragons cards and matching stamps. I don't know anything at all about D&D, but I just broke into a sheet of the stamps for a Stranger Things card I made and these really are quite beautiful cards, so it seemed like a good time to get them out!

Also, while I so very much appreciate the intentions of whoever has been leaving books on a regular basis, I've been relocating them to the Little Free Library at the Y so I have room for the stationery!

I've held onto these incredibly cute Goodnight Moon postalettes from for too long! Stop by and get them before the snow starts and/or if you need to step away from the news for a bit.

Thank you mystery donor for sharing these adorable hand painted postcards! The nicest thing about the Little Free Mailbox has been that every time I neglect it for a few weeks, someone else always steps in to make sure there are cards available. I've refreshed the postcard supply and will be adding some more stationery before this weekend's snow storm.
