Hi friend,
August has been such a great month, despite it being so busy.
This month's snail mail was such a fun concept for me to come up with. When Summer ends, there tends to be this sort of sadness that comes with it. As if all the good things happen during the summertime. It's a season that so many of us look forward to, because it always brings about excitement and joy. We have so many things always planned out for the short time we have it, and we easily get so lost in it.
So I didn't want to look back on our summer and only think about all the things that are ending, rather, I wanted to look back on it and appreciate everything it brought into our lives instead. So many happy moments that get to live on in our hearts happened this summer, and I will carry that as the season's change.

With the end of summer comes this sense of wanting it to last longer, but I think we should savor it instead. There's a freedom in allowing things to end, and enjoying it while we still can. Here's how you can savor it (although I have a feeling the weather won't be changing from summer anytime soon 😅)

Behind the Design
I had the most fun building a pinterest board for this month's theme! I had such a clear vision of what I wanted to see come to life. I had so many inspo photos for our amazing artist to go off of, but in the end I had outline each scene I wanted depicted on the postcard. I know I always say I love our postcards, and I really do love all of them, but this one holds a special place in my heart.

I hope you spend the last days of summer frolicking in the sun, getting in another summer read, hanging out with your loved ones, or simply just enjoying it. There's nothing like a summer to remember!
With love,
Jenika & the Heartbound family 🤍
