A Cloche Party



It's a Cloche Party today. Check out all the great ideas for using cloches (and close variations) at A Stroll Thru Life. A teacup-pot combo with a sprig of ivy is in my dining room.



An old anniversary clock dome is what I used for this cloche. I found it at a Goodwill for $.50. So, in this one is a hen (salt shaker) on a nest of Limoge cups. This sits down in my very country family room.




This little cloche I found and it exactly fit a butter dish whose dome was broken a while ago. I like bows and what-nots affixed to their handles. I've really enjoyed looking at all the other cloches - gives me lots of ideas for changing my own. I tend to change my cloches with the seasons. I like looking at everyone else's ideas to see what I could do as well. Enjoy!

The teapot with the blue bow on top is too cute!

Love your cloches. The teapot is so pretty inside the cloche and the clock done with the cups and chicken is super. What a lovely figurine under the last one. You are so clever to see a clock dome and think to use it as a cloche. I had never thought of that and yet today I've seen several. We have some really talented and creative people including yourself out there. I'm having a ball looking at all of them. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty
