Hey everyone, it’s Anna.

Years ago, in my small workshop, I designed and sewed the very first plush countryball in the world. It was a true passion project, and after reading so many of your letters, I knew I had to return to that original, authentic spirit of creation.

Today, I’m inviting you to join me in a big experiment to bring the workshop back to life on completely new terms.

The Workshop is Reopening! (But It’s Not Just a Shop)

Starting this Friday, August 1st, I’m opening the doors for orders. This isn’t a typical sale; it’s a collective project—our first campaign—that will determine the future of the workshop.

Here’s the plan. Please read it carefully:

• The Pre-Order Window: The shop will be open for pre-orders for one month only, from August 1st to September 1st, 2025.
• Our Collective Goal: To make the workshop’s relaunch possible, we need to hit a minimum goal of 35 total orders. This is the “green light” that brings this project to life.
• Progress Updates: I’ll post a weekly update on the site’s header (X/35) so we can all track our progress!
• Production & Shipping: If we hit our goal, I will close the shop on September 1st and dedicate the entire month to lovingly crafting every single ball. Shipping for all orders will begin in early October 2025.

Yes, this means the wait will be longer. But it also means your order isn’t just a purchase—it’s a vote of confidence. It’s the literal fuel that will bring this project back to life.

What Can You Order?

I’ve set up three tiers of creation for you to choose from:

• The Classic Edition: The warm, handcrafted ball you know and love. The perfect way to support the project and get a piece of its history.
• The Collector’s Edition: An artifact featuring my personal signature on the tag, plus your own unique name or phrase, which we’ll discuss personally via email after your order.
• The Legacy NFT Edition: The ultimate package, including all the benefits of the Collector’s Edition, plus a permanent digital NFT passport to certify your ownership on the blockchain forever.

You can find all the details and pricing on the product pages in the shop. Please also take a moment to read the full Terms & Conditions for our campaign, which details the entire process.

Thank you for your incredible patience and belief. This is more than a sale; it’s an invitation to write a new chapter together.

The doors open on August 1st. Let’s bring the legend home.

With excitement and hope,

Your friend,

Anna.
