    Subscribe by the 1st of the month to receive that month’s Thimbrinelle box or postcard. Orders placed after the 1st will begin with the following month’s mailing. Membership card, magnifying glass, and thimble are only sent in the first box of a subscription. For example, if you subscribe on June 1, you will receive June’s postcard but your membership items will be packed with July’s box. All boxes and postcards will be mailed on the 13th of the month unless they fall on a Sunday or a holiday. Then they will be mailed on the next business day.

  • Yes. Subscribers may purchase past boxes from the current series, subject to availability. These are offered at a premium price due to limited stock and the additional effort required to recreate them.

  • Not at all. As a courtesy, every new subscriber will receive the year’s previous letters. This ensures that no matter when you arrive in Thimbrinelle, you will be on the same page as all the other Keepers.
