Slow living has never been more appealing. Now is the time to take a breather and look for comfort in the small things in life. Here to help you out is writer and illustrator Naomi Bulger. An avid letter writer, Bulger teaches the traditional art of writing a beautiful letter through online and offline courses.

“It’s time,” reads Bulger’s website. “Time to pick up a pen and write a letter to Nanna. Surprise Facebook friends with a handwritten postcard. Send a thank-you card to your child’s school teacher. Leave a loving post-it note for your partner. No matter what your reason for writing, I will help you make it special and beautiful.”

Indeed, the time to rekindle your relationships with friends is now. And trust us, there’s no better feeling than receiving a carefully written note from a loved one, reminding that you are loved and cared for. “Life today is busier than it has ever been!” observes Bulger. “But I think that is all the more reason why it is so special to slow down enough to write something meaningful, and personal, and show the person you’re writing to how much you care.”

According to Bulger, we all have creative potential within us. Her hope is to give you the confidence, inspiration, and practical tools you need to share your creative work and stories with others. Prepare to be inspired:

You know when people talk about “labours of love”? I can absolutely relate! I have just given birth to my completely revised letter-writing and mail-art e-course, “The Most Beautiful Letter You’ve Ever Written,” and am SO proud to introduce my bouncing baby e-course to the world! 🌿⁣ At long last, it’s all ready for anyone who enjoys (or wants to enjoy) the slow, creative and heartfelt process of writing letters and spreading joy. ⁣ 🌿⁣ It took me a full nine months to revise, research, rewrite, create and fine-tune the course content, including adding in a whole extra week’s worth of inspiration and tutorials, creating a private community (known as the Letter Writers’ Corner), introducing a bespoke pen-pal matching service, and hosting regular letter-related events (like the #bookishpenpalswap I ran last week) exclusively for students and alumni. ⁣ 🌿⁣ This weekend I invited more than 300 past students to take a sneak peek at the new content, and introduced them all to the Letter Writers’ Corner. ⁣ 🌿⁣ And today I am VERY happy to announce that this course is back on sale for the first time since May last year. Classes will unlock on the 16th of March but anyone who signs up now can also receive an earlybird discount of 15 percent. Follow the link in my bio to find out more about The Most Beautiful Letter You’ve Ever Written, and be sure to use the discount code A-LOVELY-LETTER to take advantage of the discount. ⁣ 🌿⁣ I’d love to see you there, and help you make and write some truly beautiful letters. ⁣ 🌿💌🌸⁣ #yourbeautifulletter #incowrimo2020 #happymail #sharealovenote #penpallingandletters #onequietcup #stationerylove #carepackage #myeverydaymagic #thesincerestoryteller #loveforanalogue

Illustrator and designer Jose Arias lives in Lima, Peru. His latest work includes a collection of fluffy monsters in the shape of alphabet letters. Their smirking faces are the best part; you can easily think they’re cartoon characters.

The monsters’ bodies naturally form letters and their faces give them character. They are the artist’s answer to the 36 Days of Type Challenge, “a yearly open call inviting designers, illustrators, and visual artists to share their view on the letters and numbers from our alphabet,” as we read on Instagram.

Check out his Instagram to see all the monsters and Arias’ other work. You’ll see why the artist turned letters into monsters, monsters are kind of his thing. Scroll down for some of them.

We admit it, we’re suckers for well-designed stationery and carefully written notes. So it comes as no surprise that we were wholly smitten by Sleepy Bee Studio. Run by husband and wife team, Gavin and Charlie, their paper goodies include notebooks, postcards, letter paper, envelopes, and gold-foiled logo stickers.

But any stationary admirer knows it’s all in the details. Details like little handmade faux-leather envelope pencil pouches and illustrated tissue paper. Handmade with high-quality materials, such products are keepsakes meant to be cherished.

According to Charlie, though most of our experiences these days are digital, there still use for paper stationery. “I’ve asked a lot of people to recall the last time they sent or received a lovely handwritten letter,” she told the Printed blog. “Hardly anyone could remember. There’s no getting away from the ease of an email, but I really hope that by selling these products I can get as many people as possible taking a little time out of their day to correspond to a friend or loved one with a letter.”

While Charlie is the illustrator and product designer of the operation, Gav is in charge of the artwork set-up, managing print production as well as social media. But the couple also has a cat, Mr. Miaow, who acts as CCEO (Chief Cat Executive Officer).

Emma Fisher carved herself a very specific niche in graphic design: wedding stationery. Based in Leeds, Yorkshire, her design studio, Blush & Blossom, offers a variety of house collections that you can fully customize with your own wording. She also offers private services, creating custom based designs according to your specific needs. Because let’s face it, weddings are all about catering to your very specific needs.

Fisher’s wedding invitations include themes like boho, vintage, and rustic, as well as more traditional and luxurious designs. “I’d hate to think that print and stationery is dying out as it’s so magical to create designs, have these printed and have something tactile to hold and cherish forever,” she admitted in an interview with the Printed blog. “I believe there is still a strong desire for printed stationery and my clients are keeping me busy, so that must be a sign!”

Some of her more out-there designs include DIY “Save the Date” tipis. “We are having a tipi wedding in the Lake District, so after doing a bit of research and various designs, that’s when the pop-up tipi came to life,” she explained. “I love quirky designs and a lot of color, and I also wanted something that people will remember and have some fun with.”

Our favorite design by her? An Art Deco-styled invitation perfect for a Great Gatsby themed wedding. Step up your wedding game.

This holiday season, why not upgrade your gift by adding a personal touch – a handwritten note or letter. Menw Hurkens will inspire you to do just that. Based in the Netherlands, she’s a project manager by day and an avid collector of vintage ephemera by night.

Her collection includes anything and everything, through which she revives the ancient art of letter writing. “Creativity comes from a long way back, and has developed throughout the years in an always present character trait,” she recalled in an interview with Surely Simple. “As a kid, I was always busy collecting things, wooden boxes, postage stamps, poetry illustrations, books, paper, but also ladybugs or tadpoles.”

“Some of my favorite things to do is decorating envelopes, making flipbooks and collages and write letters,” she went on to say. “I seriously get happy by unpacking mail and discover a little bit of the world from the person behind it.”

Her collection includes postcards, stickers, washi tape, and original wax seals. Some of which she also sells on her Etsy shop. Prepare to fall in love with paper:
