One of my favorite movies is You’ve Got Mail with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. I’ve watched it probably 1000 times, seriously! (I am a terrible insomniac and have a hard time getting any rest when my husband is gone.) Enter Kathleen and Joe, two business rivals who can’t stand each other in person but fall in love online. The sweet story, written and directed by Nora Ephron, never fails to lull me into a peaceful sleep.

While You’ve Got Mail has more to do with in-boxes than mailboxes, it is based on the 1940s movie The Shop Around the Corner starring Jimmy Stewart and Margret Sullivan. In the movie Alfred and Klara are rival employees of a gift shop who have been corresponding anonymously via a newspaper advertisement.

There’s something so sweet and timeless about these stories of love nurtured though correspondence. Or maybe I simply love both movies because they remind me of my own unique love story!

My husband and I met at the wedding of friends and dated long distance until we got married. Most of our “dating” actually took place through letters and emails since we lived four states apart…  and he was floating around the Pacific Ocean on an aircraft carrier for six of the 11 months we dated!

15 years later I still have albums and boxes full of the letters we wrote to each other. Rare mementos in this day and age!

This sweet little mailbox may inspire you to write love letters, or maybe just a sweet little note on the tiny stationery designed to fit inside. You can tuck a note into the mailbox with a Valentine treat or start a household postal service between your family members.
