Hey there...

It's been wild around here ever since we announced that we were done making StoryPeople wood stuff. In some ways, it reminds us of that game Telephone where you sit in a circle & whisper a sentence & watch how it changes from 'I like your shoes' to 'How long have you known you were a cat?'

We even had one person call, saying she couldn't go on without Story of The Day & could she send us money so we could stay in business? (Which was very sweet, if a little alarming.)

So, we decided we should make sure we're all on the same page here. Here's a short list. We're calling it What We Know Is True About StoryPeople:
What We Know
  1. Yes, it's true. The absolute last day to order the StoryPeople wood things we're still making (like a sculpture, for instance) is July 31st. While we'll probably still be making them for awhile because of all the orders, this is it. So, if you've been waiting for years & years & years to pick your favorite, now's your chance. Free yourself. Pick the story that speaks to your life & we'll have it to you in a few weeks...

  2. This is NOT the end of StoryPeople. We're having too much fun to stop. So, there'll be more books & more prints & more things that we haven't even invented yet. (According to Brian, there WILL be a shower curtain in there sometime. We're not convinced yet...)

  3. Yes, we'll still send out Story of the Day. Every day. With new stories. If you follow Brian on Instagram (@brianandreas), you've already seen that we'll have bunches of new stories for a very long time...

  4. OK, yes, there will still be sculptures available. No new ones, but you all may have heard we were digging around in the basement & we found bunches of old ones under piles & piles of sawdust. We've been putting those on the storypeople.com site in the section called The Vault. We dust some off every week & put them there if you want to check back regularly & see what's come to light...

  5. Will we do any sculptures in the future? The answer is we're not sure. We CAN tell you that Brian's been hanging out in the woodshop & we've seen some amazing fun sculptures. But all of them are one-of-a-kind pieces that people have commissioned.

    Still, we can imagine him sneaking into the woodshop now & then to play. We'll let you know if anything shows up from that...

  6. Yes, we're doing a whole new line of greeting cards. With a whole new company. Still part of StoryPeople, but with a bit more edge here & there. We'll let you know more about that when we launch it later this year.

  7. Anything else you've heard, well, it's probably not true. Because that's the whole scoop.
We look forward to sending the stories you love out into the world for years to come. Again, we thank you, thank you, thank you for all your support. For your love & laughter & fun notes & treats & for dropping in to visit us whenever you're in town. Yay you!

& if you've been wanting your own sculpture, drop in before the deadline at the end of July & we'll get right on it...

Until next, with love,

The Crew at StoryPeople

P.S. Since this is your last chance, some of you have been a little bit anxious. We understand. If you absolutely want to make sure we've got your request right & that nothing is missed, feel free to give Annette a call at 866.564.4552 & she'll walk through the whole thing with you...
