💌 THE FIG POST: BLOOMING EMBERS SNAIL MAIL CLUB 📬
When was the last time you opened a mailbox and found a handwritten letter waiting just for you?
Not a text.
Not a notification.
Not another social media message.
An actual letter. 💜
This fall, Blooming Embers is bringing back a little bit of old-fashioned connection with our Snail Mail Club!
🍂 September–December 2026
Here’s how it works:
💌 Sign up and complete a short application telling us about your personality, interests, hobbies, and the age group you'd like to be paired with.
🌿 Blooming Embers will thoughtfully match you with a mystery pen pal.
🔐 You’ll each receive a private FIG CODE. Your real name, address, phone number, and personal information are never exchanged.
📮 Write your letters at home and bring them to The Fig Post mailbox inside Blooming Embers at 720 Broad Street.
💜 We sort the mail and your mystery friend picks up their letter from us using their code.
Then they write back!
For three months, you get to know someone the old-fashioned way—through stories, questions, encouragement, laughter, favorite songs, recipes, memories and handwritten words.
And then comes the best part...
✨ THE DECEMBER FRIENDSHIP DINNER ✨
After months of knowing each other only by your FIG codes, everyone will gather at Blooming Embers for dinner.
And you'll finally discover...
WHO HAS BEEN WRITING TO YOU. 💌
Maybe you meet someone completely different from you.
Maybe you find someone who understands you.
Maybe two people who would have walked right past each other in everyday life discover that they have the makings of a wonderful friendship.
That is exactly why we're doing this.
This isn't a dating club.
It's not about followers or networking.
It's about friendship. Community. And giving people another way to find one another.
