Episode 14: Collecting Analog Treasures at Disneyland for Your Penpals & Junk Journal

We are going to Disneyland and we are doing it for the penpals & junk journals 🏰💌 This week Parker and Judit break down almost everything you can collect, save, buy, and lovingly hoard at Disneyland to send to the people you love through the mail (or just keep for yourself). We are talking pressed pennies, actual mailboxes inside the park with its Disneyland postmark, park maps, food packaging worth saving, the best postcards and where to find them, a land by land guide to what is worth collecting where, and five themed penpal letter ideas you can build entirely from your park haul. Whether you are going to Disneyland next week or just dreaming about it from your stationery desk, this one's for you. Disclaimer: we are penpal lovers first and Disney experts never, but we did our best and we think you are going to love it. 🎀 CONNECT WITH US: * Instagram: @dearpenpalpodcast * Email: dearpenpalpodcast@gmail.com [dearpenpalpodcast@gmail.com] * Write to us: 290 E L St, PO Box 223, Benicia, CA 94510 Have you ever sent someone something from Disneyland in a letter?

Episode 13: Mail Art & Decorating Envelopes with Paper Source Content Creator Brenna Malmberg

Your envelopes are about to get a serious upgrade ✉️🎨 This week Parker and Judit are talking with Brenna Malmberg (@brennamedia) — San Diego based mail artist, Paper Source content creator, and someone who has completely transformed the way we think about envelopes. We talk about her process, her Posca pens, what it's like to create content for a brand you love, mailing things from London like a true mail girlie, and why the envelope is just as important as the letter inside.

Episode 12: The Art of Slowing Down with Pressed Flower Artist Hope Steinle

This week we sat down with Hope Steinle (@hopesteinle) — pressed flower artist, founder of The Wildflower Post snail mail club, and a genuinely open guest. We talked about pressing flowers from her Kansas garden, saving color when flowers dry, her husband's handmade flower presses, the bug situation (you'll have to listen), and what it looks like to grow something beautiful slowly and on your own terms. We left this conversation feeling really inspired. We hope you do too.
