2020 Joy Exchange Initiative

Want a little more joy in your 2020? Me, too. So here’s what I’ll do.

If you send me something nice for my bulletin board— a postcard saying something nice, a quote you like, a little sketch or piece of artwork, a tiny piece of embroidery, an origami crane, a note— I’ll send you a signed bookplate *OR* one of my rad Jane Austen postcards with a little quote/kind word in exchange. Here’s what you have to do:

Mail me something. Anything! As long as it’s positive, kind, uplifting, pretty.

Address: Delilah Dawson, PO Box 2223, Lutz FL 33548

On whatever you send, let me know if you’d like a bookplate or postcard. Make sure I can find/read your address. If it’s a bookplate, I’ll write it TO: YOUR FIRST NAME unless otherwise specified and sign it Delilah S. Dawson. You can also have it signed by Lila Bowen, if it’s for the Wake books. Just let me know ON THE THING YOU SENT.

Let’s not do any of this online or email. Let me know what you want on the actual thing you send, ok? I can’t fight a war on two fronts, even a war of kindness.

That’s it. Here’s to a little more joy in our mailboxes!

Note: I just ordered bookplates today, so it might take a week for me to mail you one. Postcards are ready now.

Also: Please don’t send food. I have several food allergies. And no live animals, although taxidermy and bones are totally my jam. International is ok, too.
