Hi, I’m JarieLyn, the creative spirit behind Dearly Postmarked. As a letter writer extraordinaire, postcard enthusiast, and self-professed pen lover, my heart truly sings for the art of putting pen to paper. When everyone else seems to be swiping and typing, I’m out there hand-writing letters, stirring up a little nostalgia and a lot of joy.
You might think handwritten letters are a relic of the past, but guess what? They’re not just for the older generations anymore. There’s a growing wave of young individuals discovering the undeniable charm and personal touch that comes with sending a note the old-fashioned way. I see this as an opportunity to keep this timeless tradition alive, and that’s why Dearly Postmarked exists today.
With every stroke of my pen, I aim to bring back the magic and allure of traditional correspondence. I believe that each letter is a small yet mighty force, creating positivity in the universe. It’s not just about writing; it’s about sharing a part of myself with every letter sent, fostering genuine connections.
Stationery is more than just a hobby or interest for me. It’s about choosing the right textures, enjoying vibrant colors, and feeling the smooth glide of a quality pen on paper. This is what drives the core of Dearly Postmarked, a love letter to those who, like me, find happiness in paper and ink.
Now, let’s talk about how my passion for stationery sparks creativity and how I bring a personal touch to each piece of correspondence, keeping letters visually captivating.
The Creative Spark: Where Paper Meets Personality
For me, stationery isn’t just about functionality—it’s a canvas for creativity and self-expression. Every letter I send is a reflection of my personality, and through Dearly Postmarked, I strive to inspire others to do the same.
Creating personalized stationery sets the tone for every piece of correspondence. I dedicate time to crafting DIY envelopes, ensuring each letter arrives with a personal touch. No two letters look alike, thanks to the array of colors and designs I incorporate. It’s this uniqueness that makes letter writing an art.
When inspiration runs dry, stickers and washi tape become my best friends. They add a vibrant ‘umph’ to the page, turning a simple letter into a vibrant work of art. I believe that a letter should be as visually stimulating as it is meaningful, bringing a smile to both sender and recipient.
Exploring stationery stores is a wholly immersive experience for me—an opportunity to lose myself amidst high-quality papers and pens, each offering its own unique potential. It’s akin to finding hidden gems that transform everyday writing into something extraordinary.
Designing visually captivating letters is just the beginning. This creative process encourages others, especially young enthusiasts to pick up a pen and start sending good vibes through their own happy mail. In doing so, we make letter writing an exciting, personalized experience.
In the next section, we’ll explore how these creative endeavors have turned into a wider movement, connecting communities of letter enthusiasts and spreading joy through the art of classic correspondence.
Inspiring a Movement: Elevating Old Fashioned Correspondence
Sending and receiving happy mail has become a joyous ritual in my life, one that I eagerly share with others. As more people discover this simple yet profound pleasure, the community of letter writing enthusiasts continues to flourish. It’s remarkable to witness the growing number of young individuals who are drawn to the charm and personal touch of traditional correspondence.
Through Dearly Postmarked, I aim to play a pivotal role in this resurgence. It’s not merely about rekindling an old habit; it’s about forging connections and spreading goodwill. Each letter sent is a small act of love, capable of touching lives and creating lasting impressions.
At the heart of this movement is a belief that letters are more than mere communication tools; they are vessels of good vibes, carrying warmth and sincerity with every word. As more join this revival, we are collectively preserving a beautiful tradition while adapting it to modern sensibilities.

I love how you bring a modern spark to this timeless tradition and show that letter writing isn’t just about words—it’s about connection, beauty, and heart.
I’m a boomer and can remember the days of letter writing. When traveling while in college, I would write letters to my sweetheart, who is now my wife of 47 years. Alas though, sometimes it seems the art of letter writing has been lost for me.
Can’t wait to see how Dearly Postmarked continues to spread joy through every handwritten note! Maybe I can get back that joy again.
