Cloche Encounters

Marty (A Stroll Thru Life) is having a fun party so we can all show off our cloches!  I always enjoy her parties.  She's such a gracious hostess.  Be sure you stop by to see all the decorating ideas for using your cloches.   Right now, most of my cloches are holding birds.  Come along and see them.  I've really enjoyed using them this way.

First up, though, is my cheese dome/cloche that I filled with ceramic roses.  I made this early in my blogging days, but recently painted it aqua and added a fleur de lis.





This swirly cloche sits on a Limoge plate, and covers a sweet birdhouse.  It is part of a tray vignette on the coffee table.


The colorful bird in this cloche is from Dollar Tree.

 I love using this large cloche with the white pedestal, and the key with yellow ribbon blend in so well.


 You've seen this little bird before.  The sign it carries says "Joy".

Here the white bird in the cloche is a DT purchase from about 3 years ago.
The pink bird was only 80 cents at HL.

This little beauty came from Queen of Hearts at Buford, GA. (love that place)!!

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my birds and cloches. Which is your favorite cloche and bird?  Don't forget to go visit Marty!!

  1. Hi Kathy,
    I love all of your cloche displays. I think that whenever you place an item underneath a cloche is automatically takes on prominence and beauty. I have many and most contain shells.

  6. Well, first I have to comment on your post title which cracked me up! Even my husband got a kick out of it (we just watched Close Encounters last week)!
    Love your different cloches. I can't decide which is a favorite but I do like the key accent on those two! I would like to get a wire cloche but I never see them in a store- I guess I'll have to order one.

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it.   The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little.  It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it!   I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before.  So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00.  I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway.   First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase.  I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
