You don’t have to be an artist or know how to draw anything. My hope is to encourage people to put down your screen and discover little moments of wonder. That’s why I write a monthly field guide for my mail club instead of a personal letter about what's going on in my life or in my head. This is more fun! How to use the Wild Things monthly field guide: Step 1. Find something that catches your eye, like a fern. Step 2. Draw it. Don’t be precious about it, it’s ok to trace a

Come for the happy mail. Stay for the adventure. Every month, Wild Things brings a little piece of a woodland world to your mailbox—with something to keep, something to send, something to write on, something to discover, and a new adventure waiting to unfold. It’s a small reminder to slow down, notice the world around you, and make a little room for wonder. And if you choose The Storykeeper, there’s another reason to stay: a chance to be a kid again. 1. You need a tiny escape

I'm excited to share new items coming to your monthly subscriptions: Wild Things Pocket Papers Each month I'll tuck a few different paper treasures into the mailings—some useful, some collectible, some simply there to make you smile. They might be something to write on, something to send, something to discover, or something to keep. I love collecting old bits of paper, lists, notes, ephemera, field guides, things tucked into books, etc., so I started creating small illustr

OCTOBER MAIL DROP Find Your Path A peek inside this month’s envelope of tiny paper adventures, full of hand-illustrated, seasonally-themed stationery that embody a woodland core / cottagecore aesthetic. This month’s collection invites you to find your path, whether that means following a winding trail, noticing something unexpected along the way, or simply taking a different route home. With Tier 2 Storykeeper, we came to the final chapter, chapter 3 of Felix and Marty's stor

Wild Things isn’t just a collection of things that arrive in an envelope each month. It’s a little woodland world waiting to be explored. There are characters who need friends, stories that haven’t been told, seasonal adventures waiting around the corner, and tiny pieces of paper and ephemera tucked away like treasures. There are trails to wander, birds to notice, feathers to collect, mushrooms to find—and probably a thousand more little wonders waiting just beyond the next b

There is something a little magical about finding something unexpected in the mailbox. Not a bill. Not an advertisement. Not something you forgot you ordered. Something someone chose to send. In a world where so much of our communication happens instantly, receiving something that traveled through the mail can feel wonderfully slow. It has a little bit of mystery to it, too. Where did it come from? Who sent it? What might be inside? I think it's the little details that make s

Fall rarely arrives all at once. There isn't usually a single morning when you wake up and suddenly the whole world has changed. Instead, it seems to slip quietly into the landscape—a cooler breeze, a few golden leaves, an acorn beneath your feet. If you slow down enough to notice, there are little clues everywhere. Here are five of my favorite signs that fall has begun to find its way into the woods. 1. The first leaves begin to change It usually starts with just a few. One

You don't have to travel somewhere new to have an adventure. Sometimes all it takes is a familiar path, a little curiosity, and the willingness to see what you usually walk right past. One of my favorite things about getting outside is that even the most ordinary walk can become an expedition when I slow down and pay attention. A trail I've walked dozens of times can suddenly reveal a feather tucked beneath a bush, an unfamiliar bird call, a mushroom I haven't noticed before,

As the crisp September air begins to roll in and the leaves start their golden shift, there is a natural urge to pull inward. After a busy, fast-paced summer, autumn calls us to slow down, put on a cozy sweater, and trade our digital screens for tactile, analog experiences. If you are looking for intentional, cozy autumn hobbies to ground your evenings this month, you don't need a massive lifestyle overhaul. You just need a few quiet minutes to yourself. Here are five beautif

SEPTEMBER MAIL DROP Adventure Ahead A peek inside this month’s envelope of tiny paper adventures, full of hand-illustrated, seasonally-themed stationery that embody a woodland core / cottagecore aesthetic. This month’s collection invites you to take a walk beneath changing leaves—follow a winding trail, collect a few small wonders, and let curiosity lead the way. Every season has its own adventures waiting to be found.. With Tier 2 Storykeeper, we moved on to chapter 2 of Fel

August Mail Drop - unboxing of Wild and Free

The September mailing has made its way out into the world. This month’s theme is Adventure Ahead, and I’ve been especially excited to send this one off into the woods—and into your mailboxes. Inside the Nature Wonders mailing, you’ll find a collection inspired by those first hints of autumn: warm colors, woodland discoveries, butterflies, leaves, and a few little invitations to slow down and notice what’s around you. There’s also a new Field Guide activity to tuck into

The vibe of Wild Things Mail Club For people who still stop to look at mushrooms. For people who name the squirrels in their backyard. For people who believe ordinary mail should contain a little magic. For people who collect tiny things. For people who take the long way home because there might be something interesting along the way. For people who find feathers and leaves and acorns and can't quite bring themselves to throw them away. For people who are perfectly happy bein

A Little More to the Story Each month, 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 th

What will you find inside? Every Wild Things mailing is created around a simple idea: a little bit of nature can invite us to slow down, notice, and connect. Each month, you'll find a small collection of illustrated treasures with a purpose: Something to keep. A little piece of illustrated nature - a bookmark, a sticker - to tuck into a journal, display, or simply enjoy. Something to send. A postcard or greeting card made for sharing a little wild wonder with someone el

Have you received your Wild Things envelope yet? Happy August, Subscribers, The first Wild Things Mail Club envelopes have officially made their way to the post office! There’s something special about seeing a stack of little envelopes go from my studio table out into the world—and knowing they’ll soon be opening in someone’s mailbox. To our first members: thank you for being part of the beginning. And to everyone on the waitlist: thank you for waiting and wondering al

Hello friends, The day is finally here... Wild Things Mail Club is officially open! What began as sketchbook pages, woodland stories, and countless ideas has grown into a monthly envelope filled with illustrated paper treasures inspired by the natural world. Each month you'll discover new illustrations, stationery, stories, and keepsakes inspired by forests, wildlife, and the quiet joy of noticing the little things. It's also a great opportunity to send a note to someone your

What's the point of starting/joining a subscription snail mail club? I was explaining to my 84-year-old mom what a subscription snail mail club is. She asked, "what's the point?" But then she told me that many of the residents at the retirement community where she lives sit in chairs near the mailroom waiting for the postal carrier to deliver their mail. Every single day. And they're disappointed when all they get are ads and bills. Ding Ding Ding! That is the point of signin

Imagine opening your mailbox on an ordinary afternoon and finding an envelope waiting inside. You carry it indoors, set aside the day's errands and to-do lists, and carefully open the flap. Inside are a few small discoveries. A story card that continues a woodland adventure. A paper treasure tucked between the pages. An illustrated keepsake inspired by the natural world. Perhaps a note, a sticker, or a tiny surprise. For a few moments, the pace of the day slows. You find
