Welcome Downunder Bella Mouse!

Recently I was stunned to find that I'd

won a most beautiful give away

from

Lucy and Annabelle

Bella Mouse arrived

today!

I am so delighted with her

and utterly gobsmacked

at the perfection of her dear little face

and lovely clothes!

Thankyou so much

Lucy and Annabelle

for your kind generosity,

you have warmed my heart.

When Robin heard that the postman had left a parcel

all the way from the USA

she knew instantly whom the parcel was for

and jumped out of the bath in great excitement!

(remember she was having a bath 

in our last visit to the dollhouse?)

She grabbed a dressing gown

and quickly wrapped herself in it

and flew down the stairs, 

nearly tripping in her haste and excitement,

into the lounge room

and unwrapped

the tiny and most gorgeous

Bella Mouse!

Bella grabbed up her wee basket and purse

so they wouldn't be lost midst the chaos

and plonked them on the couch

while she and Robin hugged one another

and danced around the room.

Robin could barely speak she was so happy

at meeting her new friend.

When they began to be dizzy

Robin sat on the lounge with Bella on her knee,

she couldn't bear to be parted from her special friend

for even a second.

(I must admit myself to having a little tear in my eye

seeing their happiness together)

Poor Bella was a little jet lagged at first

but a heartening cup of tea set her to rights quickly.

When she was feeling revived

she told us her journey had been quite comfortable

and she hadn't been travel sick at all 

but she is very pleased to be on terra firma again.

The upside-down weather had her a trifle puzzled

as it had been warm when she set out

on her journey.

On arriving in the Land Downunder

she was very glad she'd packed her warm coat

because,

although the sun is bright and the birds are singing happily,

it is mid-winter in her new homeland

and quite cool.

Robin and Bella fell in love instantly they saw one another,

the smile on Robins face says it all!

One of the dogs seems to have fallen for sweet Bella as well ;)

Robins pet rattie Camilla

(aka Milla)

thought she might be a tiny bit jealous of the newcomer

who was receiving so much attention

but Bella is such a gracious and sweet person

that they've become best friends already.

As for myself, I too am under the spell of

Sweet Bella Mouse.

I can't believe my luck in winning such a wonderful

Give Away and can't say thankyou enough.

Bella is loved by all,

and will be a treasured member

of the dollhouse family.
