We have a brand new R.S.V.P. coming up on Monday and it is appropriately themed for today: DEAD LETTER OFFICE. On November 3rd (Monday) at 7pm CST Series #13 will go live and you will have a chance to get one of 10 sets. R.S.V.P. is only available to members, so make sure you are able to login without issue if you want to grab a set for yourself.
The Royal Society of Venturesome Parcels program is the closest L.W.A. comes to a subscription service. R.S.V.P. is a themed mailing over the course of four weeks with one package sent each week. We curate the packages to contain all manner of nifty things, leaning heavily on stationery and other philatelic items. Most mailings have something vintage and are limited to 10 sets.
If you are curious about what the Dead Letter Office is, check out this entry in Arago.
I guess a lot of people were waiting for this. I tried to buy it exactly at 8 p.m. EST and it was already sold out. This is the second time I've missed the R.S.V.P. :-(

lol! Then I shouldn't complain when I went in the following morning to try…
That said, I'm getting an error when I try to sign up to be informed about #14.
As to the theme—love it! I'm super impressed by my local postmasters, although I am most impressed by the postmasters who conspired to find my father in a small suburb about ten miles outside of Munich when a parcel arrived addressed:
HisFirstName HisLastName
Munich
Germany
I wonder what would happen if someone tried that in this day and age. (I had a letter returned from Ireland because the zip code was a letter off :( )
