It’s that time of year when things that go bump anywhere are quite suspicious, but when things go bump in the post, well, who knows what will happen?! After forking over an eye-watering ransom to Parcel Force, they handed me this:

| Things that make you go EEEK! |
So glad it was taken care of on the way then… Good job about 95% of that is packing peanuts too! So anyway, this came out:
Well that’s quite a peculiar pair, let’s take a closer look at the bit on the right:
I’m sorry, what does that note say?!
Of course it does…
Guess I’d better unpack a bit further then:
Hmm, not sure I’ve got anything more frightening than my regular look!
Maybe we ought to look inside:
Ahh, so it was that wee guy needed the breathing tube then!
Jack felt he had to come over and investigate his newest cousin:
Isn’t he teeny next to Jack? Jack felt his orange Super Jack cape blended in nicely though.
Unfortunately I haven’t been able to get a photo in the dark, but here’s what it looks like then:

My friend Ginger has the most amazing imagination when it comes to creating ‘sets’ for her wee guys, and she makes just a few of these ‘bears in a box’ each year, spending days creating every intricate little design detail, texture, colour, and props.
I’ve been wanting to try and get one of these wee guys for a while, but had always argued with myself that I had nowhere to truly show one off. Well I saw this one, fell in love with it, and thought I’d work out where to display it once it was here! I think I’ve worked out the best place now, you’ll be pleased to know, it will just involve a small trip to Ikea this week some time…
So, um, that’s my halloween decorating done, how about you?
That is really cool in a fabulous freaky way! I love all the little details, and the fact it glows in the dark is just awesome.
Oh my God how stinkin' cute is that!!!
Ahhh Katy, what a lovely addition to your hug, a trip to ikea will be worth it!! X
Thanks, although I work next to Ikea, I do try and resist most of the time due to its wallet sucking talents ;o)
Maybe he can come and visit his older brother in Blackpool some day 🙂
That's so coooool! Those eeny jack-o-lanterns are so creepy. That's so coooool!!! 😀
Thats so cool….
Adorable! I'm amazed you managed to hold out on snaffling one of these long before this. Perfect for Halloween.
how totally fun!!! Glad everything survived so well considering the state of the package it arrived in 🙂
That's amazing!
Count Bearcula, oh no.! Jack, Jack, watch out. Go and get yourself some garlic quick!
Hugs, nervously,
Jock
I saw Ginger make this and fell in love with it. I am so glad it has gone to a good home.
Hugs
what a stunning decoration! So cute!
That is so cute. I love the little bear and all the details. What is in the other part of the package?
That is so awesome!
I'm glad that I didn't catch on that this was the parcel I sent when I saw the first photo. I would have nearly had a heart attack. I am somewhat reassured that all the packing turned out okay. It gives me hope for future near catastrophes! I'm so happy that it arrived because sometimes these thing go wandering for ages. Thank you Katy and I do hope you enjoy it with much glee and happiness!
Thanks for sharing these photos! It's like seeing an old friend again.
🙂

Very cool.
Glad everything was in one piece since the parcel was obviously handled with such care
That's amazing, so glad she packed it well!
Brilliantly made and how scary to send that by post!
He's so lucky he survived
Oh. Em. Gee!! That's directed at the magnificent bear, not the disgrace that is that parcel! Although I had one very similar last week. Unfortunately is was full of handmade ceramics for Christmas presents and there were breakages! I wouldn't mind so much (well, I would, but…) but it's so damn expensive to send anything now!
Hi LT,
OUCH!!! When I looked at that poor box I recognized the mailing label, Ginger! Then I really was worried but I see your new, wee bear and his house were safe and unharmed.
So glad Jack is happy with his new, little cousin.
Hugs
Most excellent! So glad parcel force didn't do for it. Oh and glad you haven't got to get another party outfit sorted 😉
OMG! That is amazing. The girls would love it. So I'm not going to show it to them or they will start getting ideas.
hahahahaha!!! love it!!
