A Cloche for Every Season

As you know Marty at A Stroll thru Life is having a cloche party.  These are always so much fun.  Thanks Marty, for hosting!  I almost always have cloches integrated into my decor in one way or another.  Hope you enjoy looking at some of the ways I use them and how they can be decorated for any season of the year. 


IN THE SUN ROOM  (Summer)

I made this pedestal from an odd an octagon shaped plate and candlestick I found at Habitat.  The cloche came from there too, and covered a dried floral item that had seen better days.  This currently holds one faux hydrangea.






IN THE DINING ROOM  (Summer)
This cloche covers three of my small angels.




SUN ROOM (Spring/Summer)
The above cloche/dome is etched and so fragile.  I bought it, the Limoge plate on which it sits, and the two roses underneath the dome for less than $3.00 at a thrift shop.  It is one of my favorites!


KITCHEN  (Autumn)
In the above photo, I merely turned a hurricane vase upside down over a fabric pumpkin, tied orange raffia around it to complete the autumn vignette.


LIVING ROOM (Spring/Summer)
Here the wire cloche holds a little bird bought at Cracker Barrel.  It holds a sign "Joy".

It is so much fun to use cloches in decor and change out the items displayed.

  4. I also love using my cloches for seasonal items. You have a wonderful variety and I think you've done a great job with your displays. I have a couple wire ones and they are so fun for a different look.
    Hugs,

  6. I love your cloche vignettes, they're all so pretty :o)
    I really wish I could find a reasonably priced cloche here in the UK, when I see how versatile they are.
    Thank you for sharing with us Kathy.

  9. I'm especially loving that wire cloche. So unique! I have to say your comment at my place about the view outside your house made me rethink mine even more. Perspective is everything. I never considered odor getting thrown into the mix! Agh! But then I have a super sensitive nose. Stale cigarette smoke sometimes wafts over and that's enough to make me crazy. Poultry houses might have been a whole different story. Good luck with that!

Linens & Things

I love finding tablecloths, runners, napkins, and other linens when I am out thrifting. Whether it be at consignment shops, GW, or yard sales, I will usually snap up a pretty linen if it doesn't have a lot of stains.  I will show you some of my favorites. I found several pieces embroideried with this design at a favorite consignment shop. This blue runner (reversible to stripes), found on consignment. This is one of the nicer quality tablecloths I have found, $4.00 at a thrift store. This cloth was around $10.00 on consignment. This runner is also reversible to polka dots, and was a consignment find. This pink and white gingham is perfect in the sun room, and is a consignment find also. This is the most valuable table cloth I have found, and it was $2.00 at a nearby yard sale.  It is a vintage Wielunder.  They sell on ebay for 30 - 90 dollars.  Mine is in pristine condition! Christmas tablecloth, consignment sale. ...

Trash to Treasure

We had noticed this "jar" sitting near a trash pile, and my husband decided to see what it was.  It was full of dirt, and covered in grime.  After soaking it a while, it looked much better. The shape and color is very nice. At first I thought it might be a globe for a lamp or some type of candle holder. The bottom has an opening, and no markings. Do you know what it might be? This is how I'm using it. It's made of thick bubbled glass. Any guesses?? Know what this was in its former life?   It makes a wonderful vase for faux flowers! It's a vintage fly /wasp trap!!   Once yucky, now pretty!!!

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning.  First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room.  Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet.  Really, how does that happen?  My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust.  This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too.  It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often.  I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore.  Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers .   These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate.  The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They ...
