It includes simple instructions for composing a rebus letter—those marvelous puzzles of image and meaning—as well as nearly 300 picture-word suggestions to spark your imagination. You can download it here.

In celebration of today’s new moon 
—a symbol of new beginnings—I’m also unveiling the latest Hastings Étui penny, and this one speaks in rebuses. Quite literally.
| The Rebus Penny |
The heads side features: 
+ 
(yew) + 
“Be you, dear.”
The tails side shows: 
+ 
+ + R + 
(well)
“I hope you are well.”

Rebus letters are treasures of attention. They invite the reader to pause, decode, and delight in each detail—like lingering with a friend’s words, even in their absence. They turn language into artwork, and meaning into a shared game.

Only 50 of these rebus pennies exist (
3 are reserved for the museum collection), and once they’re gone, they’re truly gone.
Also as a reminder, the first 7 come with a special letter and Bee You Journal from my friend, Sonia Pal.
