Life at Rookscroft carries on in its cosy comforting way, and you can be part of that world every month when, a lovingly crafted letter from your friends beyond the sea arrives in your letterbox.

Its stories begin when Jayne, an artist and narrator, discovers that the animals living around her old house have lives, friendships and adventures entirely of their own.
It all begins when Vernon, a self-important pheasant and hat-maker, appears at the study window demanding a portrait, and soon we meet Quentin, a poetry-writing golden pheasant who lives beneath a rose bush and many other wonderful creatures whose lives run parallel to our own. Robin, an endlessly cheerful little quail, is found in a vegetable basket and, as the world grows, travelling circus animals, mysterious cats, ravens, bears, and others wander into their lives.


The stories are cosy, whimsical and often funny, but they're also about friendship, loneliness, belonging and found family.


Letters from Rookscroft lets you follow their lives through the seasons. Each month, a new piece of correspondence from Rookscroft arrives in the post, accompanied by original artwork, tiny letters from the island's inhabitants, and little keepsakes tied to the everyday life and stories happening there.

Ephemaera is a fictional town where strange things happen. Every month a new video is posted on YouTube with the local news, and through this mail club you can receive additional tangible goodies that are perfect for journaling, but also nice to look at.

A Short History of Ephemaera: 

For a long time Ephemaera was under the influence of the Journalists: evil, conniving creatures that fabricate stories and manipulate their audience. Slowly the town turned bleak. Not only in color, but in essence. The Journalists gave rise to a minimalist approach to life, and Ephemaera’s citizens paid the price.

But things were brewing on the other side of the spread. A few of Ephemaera’s residents got together to create beautiful stories rooted in the truth. And so, the Journal Club emerged. Their movement quickly gained favor, and soon the Journalists were driven out of Ephemaera. But they still lurk around the borders…

After this tumultuos period, the municipality and The Journal Club merged.
Because there are none more qualified to run a town than creatures who journal.

----------------

While the goodies you receive in the mail can always be used for journaling, they are better appreciated if you follow Ephemaera’s story. Every 1st of the month a new chapter unfolds.
