Handmade birchbark card by Frances of Creative Muskoka Cards.
*due to the handmade nature of the card, variations may occur Â
Between March and December 2020, Frances Mae Balodis mailed over 1,000 handwritten cards from Utterson to help people feel less isolated during the pandemic. She still sends about 30 cards a week, often to individuals in retirement or assisted care homes and veterans. She doesn’t necessarily know the people she writes to – she simply hopes her cards lift their spirits as much as sending them lifts hers. Her whimsical birchbark cards are bound to bring a smile for sender and receiver — and a reminder that Muskoka is always home in our hearts.
