Letters from Laura

A monthly letter, handmade, seasonal, and worth keeping.
Real mail, from my craft table to your mailbox.

Most mail is bills. This is something different.

Letters from Laura is a small-batch snail mail subscription, a single thoughtful envelope, mailed on the first of every month. Each one is written, assembled, and finished by hand. No two are exactly alike.

It's not another subscription to keep up with. It's something to look forward to.

This one is for the people who still love real mail. If that's you - welcome.

What's inside every month

A personal letter from Laura - seasonal, grounded in real life, and written to feel like it came from a friend who notices things.

A recipe from Laura's kitchen - one recipe tied to the season, written the way you'd share it with someone.

Laura's Little List - four small discoveries for the month. A favorite app, a porch idea, a kitchen tip, a small joy worth passing along.

From the Mailbox - I love sharing the thoughtful notes that you send to me! 

A handmade insert - something intentional and useful. Past inserts have included wildflower seed packets in hand-folded envelopes, pressed flower bookmarks, recipe cards, and porch styling guides. Never filler. Always connected to the month.

The May edition - mailing May 1

The porch is open again.

This is the month everything moves outside. The May letter is about that shift — the one where you stop rushing past your front door and start actually sitting on the other side of it.

Inside the envelope this month: a letter, a recipe worth keeping, a card to help you style the space you already have, and something small to send to someone you've been meaning to reach out to.

If your wildflowers from April are doing something, the May letter will notice.

Each letter is an edition

Every letter is dated and designed to be kept. Subscribers who stay get a year of letters that build into something, a seasonal archive of recipes, ideas, and small moments from a year of slow living.

Write me back

Real correspondence goes both ways. Subscribers are always welcome to write back - recipes, home ideas, letters of their own. The best ones appear in a section called From the Mailbox.

There's also an optional Pen Pal Circle for readers who want to exchange real letters with each other. More details inside your first letter.

I'm Laura, the maker behind Olive My Skin. For over 20 years I've built a business around handmade products, simple ingredients, and the belief that slow and intentional is always better than fast and forgettable.

Letters from Laura brings together everything I love: cooking, gardening, crafting, thrifting, and finding beauty in the ordinary. Every letter is written and prepared by me, at my craft table, before it lands in your mailbox.
