Our Story

Meet Poppy, the voice behind the letters you didn't know you needed.

Poppy Speaks

Poppy is the voice behind the letters; a character created to speak softly, kindly, and with large amounts of care.

I write letters from the moments that feel heavy or too much. They’re the days when you – or someone you love – needs a gentle hand of encouragement, even if it come on a piece of paper.

I am here to send a note that reminds you that you are seen, and that it’s okay to take your time.

Sometimes a few words are all it takes to help you feel a little comfort, or to make someone feel less alone.

Every letter I send is meant to arrive without ceremony. There’s no hurry, no pressure to respond. Just care from someone who see you, just the way you are.

The Human Behind Poppy

Hi there, I’m Kat.

I started Letters from Poppy because I know how much a few thoughtful words can change a day. I wanted to create something small, kind, and timeless – a place where connection isn’t rushed, and kindness is always waiting in an envelope.

Poppy grew from the idea that letters could do more than deliver words. They could deliver presence. A pause. A soft moment in a world that never stops moving.

This project is my way of holding that space for you – whether you’re sending a note or receiving one.

Slow Mail Club Feedback

  • "I was genuinely so excited when the envelope appeared through the door, and it only got more exciting to open it up! The letter is written so beautifully, and I love the activity this month - such a mindful and intentional thing to do to help at a difficult time in the future - love it!
    The postcard is a really nice touch and it's made the whole letter feel much more personal, bringing a sense of you into it. I'm always a sucker for a sticker but honestly this is sooo cute and I'm already arguing in my head about where to use it!
    Well done, a total hit! X"

  • "Honestly you make my day with the letters!! I was looking forward to it arriving and kept looking out....They're the perfect length. I see them as a gentle reminder to refocus and like the encouragement to go outside etc is so useful because it's easy to forget to do that kind of thing."

  • "My slow mail club letter arrived this afternoon and I love it! It's so lovely to get a letter in the post, and it's like being given permission to take a 10 mins break to grab a drink, sit and read and then colour poppy :) The contents of the letter felt personal and gave room for reflection and thought.
    I love that there's a little activity included, the drawing is so sweet and I'm a huge advocate in mindful activities (I often get people at work to 'help' me to colour when I can sense they need to talk but can't find the words, and it works wonders).
    Thank you!"
