Hello Friends! It’s time for our Cozy Mail Group Exchange!
{Sign up by Nov. 12}
For the Cozy Mail Exchange, you will receive a list of all participants and their addresses and can send to as many on the list as you’d like. By joining this exchange, you are agreeing to having your mailing info sent out to all participants. Since it’s possible you may receive less than you send, please put yourself in the mindset of giving and enjoying being a blessing to others in the group.
So what do we send for this swap? In the past, ladies have liked to send cards, postcards, and letters. Gifts or packages are fine, also, but they do get expensive so it’s perfectly fine and actually expected to send a card or short note of greeting. The idea is to spread some cheer and coziness!
Important: Many people celebrate holidays during this time of year, and there are several different customs, cultures, and beliefs represented in this group. You may receive something in the mail that doesn’t fit with your lifestyle or the holidays you do or don’t celebrate during this time of year. Please be gracious and accept this mail as the senders best effort at sending well wishes for this cozy season. It’s perfectly fine to throw away, regift, or recycle anything you’re uncomfortable with; but please assume the sender has the best of intentions to add some joy to your day, even if the mail is not to your particular liking. That said, you do have the option of listing any holidays or customs you do celebrate this season and I will add that to the address list in case senders want to be more personal.
Are you interested in joining the Winter Cozy Mail Exchange? If so, sign up for the Victorian Letter Writers Guild here. Once your membership is approved, you will be eligible to join this exchange.
If you know someone who would like to participate, feel free to share this post with them. They will first need to apply for membership by filling out the membership application located on our website here.
Have a beautiful and cozy day!

Hello Friends!
It’s time for the annual Summer Pen Friend Exchange! (Winter for our friends in the southern hemisphere!) This is a pen pal matching exchange where I match you up with another Guild member. You will each write an introductory letter to your partner and then you can decide if you’d like to continue your pen friendship further.
Sign ups close Sunday, July 21 so make sure to get your application in if you are not yet a member and check your email if you are an existing member! New applicants apply here: application
Please note that this is a full length letter exchange so your partner will be expecting a chatty letter of 2-3 pages or more. This is not the time for a short note or card. Please send your partner a letter they can be excited about having received.
Thank you!
Happy Summer!
Sarah
The biggest change is that the Guild is now subscription based and membership is exclusive and limited. The cost to you ($10 USD per year) is minimal; but this will help offset the tremendous amount of time and love I put into our Guild, as well as ensure a better quality experience for all.
As before, we will have several group exchanges throughout the year, as well as quarterly individual pen friend match ups.
Are you interested in continuing in the Victorian Letter Writers Guild? If so, follow these steps:
1. Fill out the membership application located at the link above. You will send this to the email given on the application.
2. If your application is approved, you will be notified by email and will be given instructions for sending membership dues via PayPal, Venmo, or cash by mail.
3. Once you have made payment, you will be accepted into the Guild and added to the list for future exchanges.
I’m looking forward to reconnecting with you all! Have a beautiful day!
