We believe there should be beauty at the mailbox

January 1, 1913.


Post Master General Frank H. Hitchcock inaugurated The Parcel Post Service in the United States of America. Dry goods and other products began to fly back and forth across the country on trucks and rail trains. It became an inexpensive way to get a variety of goods to rural customers College students even sent their dirty laundry home to their mothers, as it was cheaper than doing it themselves. It wasn’t until 1914, that little four year old Charlotte May Pierstorff was mailed to her grandparents; after which the mailing of humans was officially banished.


While the daily mail once meant the arrival of handwritten postcards, mail-ordered home goods and even farm fresh eggs; the rise of technology in the 21st century has decreased our daily communication to nothing more than emails, texting and a plethora of social media options. Today our mailboxes boast of little more than monthly bills, credit card applications and a whole host of useless advertisements.


Our goal at The Parcel Post Company is to bring back the magic of mail time through monthly subscriptions to brown paper wrapped parcels filled with handmade items for less than the price of two coffees a week.


We’ll see you at the mailbox.

there are three parcels you can get- little ladies, little dudes, and shabby chic. each one of the come complete with brown paper packaging wrapped up in strings! for as little as $20 one of these parcels can be sitting at your front door or your bff’s front door. i am so loving subscription packages for birthdays and holidays (like Christmas!!) and even better news if you purchase three months or more, you can use the code: CELEBRATE5 to get $5 off!
shopping done. handmade & small businesses supported. and happiness shared. ps: she is having a giveaway on her blog today that you might want to be a part of!

You guys know how much I love photo projects and h You guys know how much I love photo projects and how I love filling our home with my favorite photos so you should not be surprised by this post 😜 I love @ArtifactUprising and I've done several photo projects with them over the years, so when I saw this calendar I thought it would be a perfect addition for the new year to bring joy to 2021! πŸ₯‚ It is the prettiest photo calendar that I ever did see! Just hung this baby up in our dinning room and I have to say, this room is about complete. Like complete complete! It even has baseboards! Maybe we will even get baseboards up in all the rooms this year πŸ˜‚ More on that later, but if you are in love with this calendar as much as I am, use code OAKS15 to save 15% on your order at #ArtifactUprising!Β πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

Oh hey guys it's me! I've been in and out of Insta Oh hey guys it's me! I've been in and out of Instagram lately. A couple months ago I deleted Instagram from my phone for a little break. And I keep doing it because it is so nice. Sometimes I delete the app but still have photos post because they are scheduled and now you know my little secret πŸ˜‰ ⁠
⁠
But really, I just took another break and while I am committed to this place because it holds so many of my memories, I'm not like super addicted to it (which is really a healthy place to be!) HAHA. ⁠
⁠
I'm realizing I don't have unlimited time to post and share all the things I want to and so when I do have time, I want to spend more time of it creating blog posts and less time scrolling IG. It's not you, it's me! HAHA. If you want to to keep hearing from me, make sure you are subscribed to our emails!! Link in bio and also stories!
It's been too long since we had a #HildeintheAir p It's been too long since we had a #HildeintheAir pic. You're welcome!
