Do you ever wish you could slip away to a quieter place — where the tea is hot, the cake is fresh from the oven, and the post always brings a smile?

Welcome to Thistlewood, a little village tucked between the trees — where each letter arrives with gentle stories, thoughtful recipes, and the comforting charm of woodland life.

The Thistle & Thread Mail Club is a quiet tradition, shared through the post. Every month, you’ll receive a hand-folded envelope filled with small joys — letters from familiar characters, cosy postcards, and paper treasures to brighten your day.

You don’t need to do anything. Just open slowly, perhaps with a warm drink nearby, and let yourself settle in.

✨ Why We Write

Thistle & Thread began as a quiet wish — to create a slower, softer space in a world that rarely pauses. Each letter is a moment of calm: a small ritual, a flicker of fiction, and a comforting escape.

🌿 What Makes It Different

This isn’t just a letter — it’s a window into another world.
Each envelope unfolds like a chapter, gently revealing the lives, thoughts, and seasons of a small village called Thistlewood.
It’s a story-based experience told through the post — comforting, character-led, and designed to be opened slowly, like your favourite book.

🐾 Where You Belong

When you join, you become part of something gently shared — a quiet community stitched together by stories, seasons, and the soft magic of Thistlewood.
