Sharing Shadymont, My Mountain Cottage

Today, I had the chance to get out and do some thrifty shopping.  First stop, Good Will.  I found a great picture ($3.93) for the guest room that I'll share later on, a huge bag of curtain ring clips for $1.51, and a decorating book to add to my collection for $2.92. My next stop was Wal Mart for some vitamins and a few other things, then on to the Hen's Nest.  I used the gift certificate Blake and Rachel gave me for my birthday.  I bought the items for this Easter vignette I have on the coffee table. I love this glass pedestal dish. I purchased a small bag of spotted eggs to place in it, and also this sweet basket filled with white tulips. By placing all the items in this white wooden box, I created a sweet Easter vignette.

It's always fun to link to Marty's cloche party.  Here are the cloches currently on display at Shadymont.  Enjoy! The bird inside this cloche carries a sign of "Joy". The wire cloche is a favorite.  The nest on top holds blue eggs. The cloche below is my largest one.  It always photographs like this, and editing doesn't help.  It holds a sweet little cherub. This abandoned nest found last year still holds five little eggs. This small cloche fits the nest perfectly.   I've covered the nest with the cloche below for a sweet vignette.   The swirl design of the cloche gives the impression of many eggs in the nest.   The apothecary jar still holds shreds of old book pages, and pears.   The cloche below features another sweet cherub, and is included in a Valentine's vignette. That's a quick look at the cloches in my home. Stop by Marty's and see all the ways they are used in the home...
