The Tea and Toast Letter Club — A Monthly Letter Subscription for Women Who Love Words, Letters and Slow Moments

In a world that never stops, there's something lovely and radical about a real letter in your letterbox.

You know that feeling when you open your letterbox expecting bills and catalogues — and find something unexpected and lovely instead? A real envelope, addressed to you. The slight anticipation as you open it. The pleasure of unfolding actual paper and settling in to read.

That feeling is rarer than it should be. The Tea & Toast Letter Club exists to bring it back — once a month, reliably, just for you.

Inside every Tea & Toast letter you'll find a letter from me — something real and personal, written from my little tin cottage on the Far South Coast of NSW. Stories from my life, reflections on the season, small noticings from my garden and my days. The kind of thing you'd read slowly, with something warm in your hands.

You'll also find a postcard illustrated by my son Lew — a watercolour artist whose work makes my heart sing every single time. Each one is original, beautiful, and yours to keep on a windowsill, tuck into a journal, or send on to someone who needs a little beauty in their day.

And a few extras — writing prompts to explore in your own time, and a small surprise. A sticker, a tea bag, a bookmark. Something little that makes the opening feel like a tiny celebration.

This is for the woman who still gets a little thrill from a beautiful envelope. Who notices the changing seasons and thinks about the past more than she lets on. Who is quietly tired of screens and noise and would love one monthly moment that asks nothing of her except to sit down, pour something warm, and read.

Each letter also comes with a handful of writing prompts — gentle invitations to pick up a pen and explore your own memories, letters, or reflections. There's no pressure to use them. But sometimes one will catch you off guard and send you somewhere unexpected — a memory you hadn't thought about in years, a story that's been quietly waiting to be told.

They're designed for letter writing, journalling, or simply jotting something down in the margin of your day. Use them however feels right. Or just enjoy the letter and save the prompts for another time. This is yours to do with as you please.

Your monthly letter is $15.95 AUD, posted straight to your door.

For Australian subscribers postage is included. If you're joining from overseas — and you are so warmly welcome — a small postage cost is added at checkout.

You can subscribe for a single month to try it, or continue month to month for as long as it brings you joy. Cancel or pause anytime — no questions asked.

Letters go out towards the end of each month. Subscribe before the 17th and your first letter comes that month. Subscribe after and your first letter arrives the following month.

Tea & Toast makes the most beautiful gift.

For the mother who loves words. The friend who needs a slow moment. The woman in your life who deserves something thoughtful arriving in her letterbox every month.

Simply add your recipient's name and address at checkout or drop me an email at kim@bettymaewrote.com and we'll sort it out together. I can even include a personal note from you inside the first letter if you'd like.

A few questions answered:

Can I subscribe just for one month? Yes — start with a single month and see how you feel.

Can I pause or cancel? Absolutely. Anytime, no questions asked.

How long are the letters? Around two A5 pages back and front — sometimes a little longer if I get carried away.

Will I need special materials? Not at all. Just your tea, your toast, and maybe a notebook if the prompts call to you.

Will there be tracking? Letters are sent the old fashioned way — by standard post, without tracking. It's part of the simplicity and charm. If your letter hasn't arrived within two weeks in Australia or four weeks internationally, just let me know and I'll sort it out.

What does postage cost for international subscribers? Asia Pacific $4.00 · New Zealand $3.50 · UK, USA, Europe $4.50 · Rest of the World $4.50

One letter. Once a month. Something to look forward to.

Sign up and let the letters arrive while the kettle boils.

I can't wait to write to you. xx
