I have never read that book – another one to put on my ‘list’. Lovely photos of the gorgeous things Astrid sends you. I know you are the perfect pen pal – your attention to detail, your creativity and your kind heart are beyond beautiful.

Kate, you just sent out 100 postcards to people all over the world! If that’s not “putting in effort” I don’t know what is!

Hmmm, funnily enough I don’t have any penpals though I’m sure if I put in more effort I would… What a delightful sounding book.

Sounds like a fantastic book to read! I used to have a penpal many years ago – when I was in high school. I used to write all of the time, and he would reply with a letter. Then one day the letters stopped coming and mine were being returned to sender. Still wonder what happened to him.
I like that letters have a personal touch – more than emails! Mind you I send emails more than hand written letters

Wow what a find and what a story. I had pen pals as a child but never thought of having one as an adult. I would love for my daughters to have pen pals but its doesn’t seem to be what kids do these days. Maybe we should start something between our 2 countries …

Hello Naomi! How are you? So good to read that you got the package and that you enjoyed it. You’re right, “84 Charing Cross Road” is a fantastic book. I’ve never heard about “The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street”, but I’ll add it to my TO READ list. Are you familiar with the great novel “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society” by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows? If you like reading epistolary novels, you’ll probably love this one.

Hila I think Helene would be a woman after your own heart. I hope you find a copy! And maybe I need to write you a letter…

Oh gosh, this makes me want to be your pen pal! Thank you so much for the introduction to this book, it really does warm my heart to hear such stories. I’m going to hunt down a copy.
