Each month, Wild Things Mail Club Tier 2 members receive the next chapter of our ongoing woodland story, along with a few handmade treasures that belong to the world of the story.
Alongside the illustrated story card, you’ll find a little piece of ephemera inspired by that month’s character, setting, or adventure. A field note, a keepsake, a tiny bit of correspondence—each one is designed to feel as though it has wandered out of the story and into your mailbox.
I love these little details because they make the story feel more real. They’re not necessarily things you need… they’re simply little things to discover, keep, and enjoy.
Think of them as tiny souvenirs from Acorn Hollow.
Each month’s mailing is a small invitation to slow down, follow along, and step a little further into the story.

Over the next few weeks, I will be filling envelopes with small illustrated treasures and imagining them making their way to mailboxes across the country.
Today I wanted to share a tiny peek inside the mailbag.
Nestled among the papers are a few special items for Wild Things Mail Club founding members:
• A membership card
• A membership certificate
• An envelope seal sticker to mark your correspondence
And that’s only the beginning.
There are still story cards, paper treasures, illustrations, and a few surprises waiting to be discovered.
For now, I’ll leave the envelope mostly closed and let you peek through the keyhole.
More sneak peeks are coming soon as we get closer to the first mailing in August.
Wild Things Mail Club was created for people who still find themselves peering into hollow logs, pressing leaves into books, and carrying home little treasures from walks in the woods.
Do you love stationery, letters, and mail?
Receiving mail from Wild Things Mail Club will be like receiving a letter from a fellow explorer.
Each envelope is filled with illustrated paper treasures inspired by the natural world—stickers, postcards, bookmarks, story cards, and small discoveries designed to be collected and kept.
Whether you’re a nature lover, a collector of small wonders, or someone who still believes there is magic in opening the mailbox, I hope you’ll feel right at home here.
More sneak peeks are coming soon, including a look at the story cards, paper ephemera, and a special membership certificate for our founding members.

What is This?
There are small worlds everywhere—tucked beneath leaves, hidden in garden corners, woven quietly into the changing seasons.
The Wild Things Mail Club is a monthly mail subscription built around those worlds.
Each collection is illustrated by hand using watercolor and colored pencil, then turned into a set of paper goods—postcards, greeting cards, stickers, bookmarks, and small printed pieces—designed to feel like something found and kept.
It’s not just stationery. It’s a monthly moment of delight in your mailbox, a collectible art experience, and a break from the digital world.
What You’ll Receive: Tier 1: Nature Wonders
Each month, you will receive a themed collection that may include:
An illustrated postcard
An coordinating greeting card with envelope
A die-cut sticker or sticker sheet
A bookmark
A set of tiny nature notes
This club may grow additional tiers where you could also receive washi tape, notepads, sticky notes, enamel pins, art magnets, a coaster, a custom mini puzzle or a mini zine artbook compilation.
Monthly Themes
Each month’s collection will explore a different corner of the natural world:
Hidden undergrowth
Garden wanderers
Tree canopies
Under the sea
Quiet winters
…and the small stories that live within them.
Why You’ll Love it
This new club is intended for those who:
Love nature
Love stories
Notice small details on walks
Love collecting stationery, paper, texture, and quiet rituals
Still believe in the charm of sending and receiving something in the mail
This is for you.

In between working on my weekly sketchbook pages of animal art illustrations, and trying to create something everyday, I’m also having fun practicing hand lettering combined with watercolor wreaths. I turned these watercolor postcard paintings into new notecards in my Etsy shop.
Drawing all the time makes me happy, so Practice Practice Practice has been my motto this year. It’s also great to be able to add new products to my etsy shop based on my drawings and watercolor paintings.
I am happy to report that I’m still loving my monthly subscription to the Olive Box, which comes chock–full of stationery and paper goods.
Here are goodies from the May box, which had a breakfast theme, and included a bagel notecard from Fish and Cake Design, a pancake notepad from Pen and Deli, and coffee magnets from Badge Bomb. I adore those coffee magnets, which look great on the magnetic white board in my home office.
Here are the goodies from my April box, which had a “sweet as honey” theme, and included a beehive notecard from Rifle Paper Co., a beehive decomposition book/notebook from Michael Roger, a set of beehive notecards from Wit and Whistle, a bee balm tin from Worker B, and a coupon for a free art print from Bonnie Christine. Such a great theme, especially with the increased awareness of the fragility of the bee population these days.
I just received notice that my June box is on the way, so I’m excited to see what theme of stationery and paper goodies they put together for this next box.
Do any of you subscribe to a monthly subscription that delivers stationery or beauty supplies or fabrics to your door step? I’d love to hear about it.
You may recall that I’m trying out a subscription to a monthly box of paper goods from OliveBox. Click here to see what I got for January and December.
For February, I received this box of goodies, which included a message in a bottle, a mechanical pencil that looks like a giant wooden pencil, an envelope of vintage stamps, and a letterpressed letterquette.
The message in the bottle actually has a message. It says “You Are Loved.” How sweet and comforting is that. And the letterquette is an actual glue-bound pad of letterpressed notecards with bright green edge painting and a glue-bound pad of envelopes. Such a clever set!
I’m trying out a subscription to a monthly box of paper goods from OliveBox.
For January, I received this box of goodies, which included an illustrated notecard, an AHA! notepad, and a beautiful wooden box full of stamps for the alphabet and numbers.
That wooden box is THE coolest thing!
For the December box, I received a sheet of stickers, a gold glitter gel pen, sparkly washi tape, sparkly butcher’s twine, and a sparkly notecard.
It’s so fun to receive a box full of paper goods around the middle of every month. Of course, I wish it came more often, and I wish it had more in it.
I have been contemplating the idea of putting together a subscription like this with paper goodies from my shop (things like a couple notecards, a postcard, stickers, a cool pen), so it’s fun to try this subscription to see what comes each month.
