I've Got Sunshine.....
I am sure that All of you, Dear Readers, will know the Happy anticipation that comes with packages arriving at your house at this time of year! And sometimes when the box is from someone you have received packages from more than once, you can feel special excitement because you know you will Love the contents once they are revealed. And such was the case with the box that arrived from Dear Birgit in Germany, even though I had to wait a couple of extra days and collect it from the Post Office when it was open last Saturday, a Cloudy and rainy day! Imagine my surprise when it was "bulkier" than usual.... and there was an extra specially wrapped box inside.... What could this be....?
Well, perhaps you can imagine my Surprise
when I opened the box to find this smiling fellow inside!!!
Well, he came with a card explaining his name is "Cloude"
which is a play on the name
"Claude" and the Cloud Palace where
"Claude" and the Cloud Palace where
the Fairy Bears all live over here.
Of course, when I thanked Birgit,
I forgot to add the "e" to his name...
and just wrote "Cloud".....
(Which got me a little bit in trouble!)
But meanwhile, Cloude was so happy
to be out of his box, and so eager to go exploring....
He dropped by The Folly...
(it really was a Cloud-y Day!)
But no-one was home so he continued on...
No-one was home at The Tree House either....
but there was plenty of Snow...
so he felt right at home already!
He Dropped in at the Cloud Palace Tower Garden
to admire the mini silver tree...
but no-one was here either.
On top of the Cloud Palace Lookout Tower
he found some tea and cakes...
But no-one was there either!
At last he found his way into The Cloud Palace Living Room
where All the Fairy Bearys were still admiring
the perfect Silver Tinsel Tree.....!
"Oh, Hullo" he said.
"My name is Cloude, with an E" he added, just to be sure.
"I've come from BiWuBarenLand, and I bring greetings!"
And Believe it or not, Dear Readers,
Just then the sunshine burst through the Clouds
and filled the room with Light!
Well, really, Dear Readers,
knowing these BiWuBaren Beings as I do...
I was not so surprised...
That Cloud-with-an-e brought Sunshine!!
Thank you again, Dear Birgit!
I am So touched and Surprised!
(Now back to work on the Christmas Card!)
He looks like he's having a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteCloude with an E is Extra Special and I am glad to see that he found his way into the Cloud Palace, just in time for tea and a cup of sunshine!
ReplyDeleteOh there is certainly only one thing better than lovely surprises and that is surprises that bring sunshine.
ReplyDeleteCloude with an E is simply delightful.

Hi Betsy! Your Cloude with an E is a precious gift from our dear Birgit, her bears are always so special, and not just because the have a character of her/his own ;O. It seems he felt at home instantly, especially after there was a sunbeam shining into the room after he arrived.
ReplyDeleteBirgit is a excellent bear maker and a very generous person, enjoy!!.
Hugs, Ilona
Cloude is simply adorable and I am so happy that he finally found his peeps!!! What a festive time they'll have together in Cloud Palace!!!
ReplyDeleteBirgit - You're a keeper, too! :O)
Cloude with an E is beautiful. I love Birgit's bears they are all very special I am lucky to have one of my own. I have always said that Birgit has magic and the sunshine proves it :)))
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your wonderful gift.
Hugs Maria
So good that the "e" was not lost over the Atlantic Ocean... and Cloude will have to get used to introducing himself as "Cloude with an e" because it's a silent e as it is in the French Claude. I must admit that although I always try to send some joy and in a way sunshine with my Christmas greetings even I was surprised that he really has the power to bring sunshine. *LOL* And he did it twice because seeing him together with the whole beary gang made my day - and the pictures before in the snow were so cute. So good he felt at home at once! Have fun enjoying a nice and cozy Cloud-Palace-"Kaffeeklatsch" together and tell Hamish Harry to make sure there are one, two cups of tasty coffee and one, two, three, four pieces of yummy cake for everybeary. ;O)

Birgit (who hopes you did not forget to peep into the tiny box that was inside Cloude's box)
Cloude is a perfect name. A very beautiful gift from Birgit.
ReplyDeleteUn regalo precioso, disfrútalo.Felices Fiestas:-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift to receive - he's lovely!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours.
It's so good to see Claude looking as though he always belonged there. He looks comfortable and well after his long journey.
