Waxing About Wax

A Fresh Start for Letter Writers & Creative Spirits

🌸 Welcome, June

There’s something about June—the soft bloom of gardens, the longer golden hours, and the gentle nudge to slow down and savor life’s little moments. For letter writers and stationery lovers, it’s the perfect time to settle in, pick up a favorite pen, and reconnect through handwritten notes.

To celebrate the start of this new month, we’ve gathered a few handpicked favorites to elevate your letter-writing ritual—each one cozy, useful, and inspired by the season. Some of these are all available on Amazon, and we may earn a small commission if you choose to shop through our links (thank you!).


✉️ 1. A Journal Worthy of Your Thoughts

Journaling in summer feels different—less about goals, and more about daydreams. Try a soft floral or vintage-style journal to welcome your thoughts with open pages.

🌿 Our picks:

👉  Rossi 1931 Summer Rose Lined Journal - Letterpressed vintage cover with elastic closure
👉 William Morris Botanical Lined Journal — Feels like a stroll through an afternoon lit wildflower field.


☀️ 2. Summer-Inspired Tea to Sip As You Write

Whether you're writing under a shady tree or curled up with the windows open, a cup of seasonal tea can gently set the tone.

🍓 Our picks:
👉 Republic of Tea Strawberry Basil Green Tea — Light, fresh, and perfect for early summer.

👉 Republic of Tea Strawberry Rhubarb Earl Gray Green Tea - This lively green tea twist on a beloved classic blooms with juicy strawberries, tart rhubarb and bright bergamot.

 


🕯 3. A Gentle Glow for Afternoon Writing

Even when the sun is up, a softly-scented candle can create a peaceful space—especially with floral or herbal notes.

🕯 Our pick:
👉 Wildflower + Salt Soy Candle — Beautiful and subtle, it sets the scene for quiet writing.


✍️ 4. Pens That Feel Like an Extension of Your Hand

The right pen makes all the difference. This one is smooth, balanced, and brings a touch of elegance to even your everyday letters.

🖋 Our pick:
👉 Pilot Metropolitan Fountain Pen — A classic favorite for good reason.


💌 5. A Supply Caddy to Keep Your Desk Calm

Organize your pens, seals, and postage in something that’s both beautiful and functional. When everything has its place, writing feels like less of a task and more of a treat.
