Wild Things Is a Woodland World Waiting to Be Explored
Wild Things isn’t just a collection of things that arrive in an envelope each month.
There are characters who need friends, stories that haven’t been told, seasonal adventures waiting around the corner, and tiny pieces of paper and ephemera tucked away like treasures.
There are trails to wander, birds to notice, feathers to collect, mushrooms to find—and probably a thousand more little wonders waiting just beyond the next bend in the path.
Characters who need friends
Somewhere in the Wild Things woods, there’s a little post office where the mail is sorted, letters are carried along woodland trails, and adventures have a way of finding their way into the right hands.
You might meet Rowan, the little mouse who helps carry the mail.
Or Benny, the fox who keeps watch over the woodland post office.
And there are others waiting to be introduced, each with their own stories, curiosities, and little corner of the Wild Things world.
I have a feeling you'll be meeting more of them along the way.
Stories that haven’t been told yet
Some stories have already begun.
Felix and Marty have been making their way through the Storykeeper adventures, leaving clues and discoveries behind as they go.
But their story isn't the only one.
There are still characters to meet, paths to wander, mysteries to uncover, and stories that haven't quite found their way onto paper yet.
That's one of my favorite things about creating Wild Things.
The world is still growing.
Seasonal adventures around the corner
Wild Things follows the seasons.
One month might be about finding your path. Another might bring falling leaves, woodland creatures, winter wandering, or the quiet magic of a new beginning.
Rather than following a calendar of things to buy, I like to think of each month as a new little chapter.
A new place to explore.
A new collection of discoveries to tuck into your mailbox.
A new reason to slow down and look a little closer.
Little treasures to discover
Some of the Wild Things world arrives as paper.
Field notes. Pocket Papers. Character cards. Maps. Stamps. Story cards. Tiny pieces of ephemera.
Some are meant to be kept.
Some - postcards, greeting cards, tiny nature notes - are meant to be written on and sent away.
Some might simply make you smile when you find them tucked inside your envelope.
I love those small pieces—the corners, textures, illustrations, clues, and details that make the world feel a little more real.
Like you've stumbled across something that belongs there.
And then there’s the real world
The Wild Things woods may be imaginary, but the invitation to wander is very real.
Go for a walk and see what you notice.
A feather caught in the grass.
A mushroom growing beside the trail.
A squirrel carrying something important.
A bird you don't recognize.
The shape of the leaves changing with the season.
A quiet stretch of woods you've walked past a hundred times before.
You don't have to go very far to find your own adventure.
Sometimes it's waiting along a familiar trail.
Sometimes it's tucked inside an envelope.
Sometimes it's a story, a feather, a mushroom, a letter, or a tiny bit of paper that makes an ordinary day feel a little more magical.
And sometimes you are compelled to tell someone else about the micro adventure by writing a quick note on a postcard or a little longer story on a notecard.
That, to me, is the heart of Wild Things.
It's a little imaginary world—but it's also a reminder to look up from the heavily digital world we're already living in.
To wander. To wonder. To notice. To put down the screen and get out there.
And to keep a little room in your life for the unexpected.
There’s always another little corner of the Wild Things world waiting to be discovered.
