With Pigeon Post the envelope is integral to the letter, and the space to write in is not too daunting. It’s like Twitter, but with a pen. Once you get a correspondence going, you’ll always have your friend’s address to hand inside their latest letter. Pigeons are also the perfect size to hold a Polaroid photo, so you can slip in a selfie. And the design means each Pigeon is a small object of beauty.
If you don’t normally write letters, you’re in for an unexpected treat – the completely irrational joy of not receiving an instant reply to your message… It sounds perverse in our day and age, that having to wait can feel good. But it really does. Delayed gratification is good for the soul.
Sending one letter to one friend and waiting for one reply is entirely satisfying. It’s personal and unique; narrowcasting, not broadcasting. Romantic as it sounds, with a letter you end up with a little part of your friend, to keep forever. To tuck into a book and stumble across at some later date. A letter holds its value, and that helps sustain true friendship. Nothing digital can compare.
We all need a little rewilding at times, and so we’re absolutely thrilled to bring you these exquisitely illustrated Pigeons by artist and printmaker Angela Harding. Puffins, whippets, and kingfishers, song thrushes, nightjars, and hares, this stunning collection celebrates our ongoing love of the natural world. Perfect for nature-lovers, birdwatchers, seafarers, and anyone who would welcome more wonderful wild in their life.
6 Pigeons per pack – each one a different design.
