1st Annual Cloche Party with Marty

I'm so excited to be joining in with Marty and the rest of you wonderful ladies at the first annual Cloche Party. I'm looking forward to seeing all of your wonderful displays with your cloches. After looking around I discovered I had many cloches, used in many different ways. You see that's the thing, when I like it I like it "a lot". Yes, I do have several. I'm going to show you a few of the ones I've had on display around here for the past few months. This one I put some "real" eggs under to go with the display on the dining room table.
This cloche is only 7" tall, so requires a small item. I chose this small bird on a pedestal.

This cloche I chose to put on a wooden pedestal and chose another darling bird. This bird was one of my best sellers last summer. Do you think I might have a bird theme going on? tee-hee

This cloche I purchased last Christmas from the store where I work part-time. I really had a yearning for it, but couldn't really justify the price or the luxury of buying for myself. I told myself if it was there the following week when I went in, it was going home with me. Well, yippee! You can see it came home. It is g-normous! You might remember the bunny from earlier this spring. That's right girls, haven't changed him out yet.

You might recognize this cloche dome on the metal stand from one of my very first posts. I've gotten so much good out of this one. It shows off a lot of treasures. Presently I have a bird on a gazing ball that I picked up last summer at TJ Maxx.

This little treasure came from Hobby Lobby last summer. I love the ceramic dish the dome sits on. Inside is a real birds nest hubby picked up out of the yard many years ago. Perfect fit don't you think?

Now, you know I can't leave my bunnies out. This little guy was picked up in Arkansas many years ago and has traveling fever. You will find him all over the house.
This my friends is what started my Cloche Addiction. My girlfriend gave this beautiful Cloche to me for my birthday a few years back. Her and her daughter were at Nell Hill's in Atchison, Kansas and spotted it and thought it would make the perfect gift. I am in total agreement. I absolutely adore it.
Thanks so much for swinging in to see my Cloche's. Don't forget to swing by Marty's at http://astrollthrulife.blogspot.com/ for a full list of participants. Marty, thanks so much for hosting a fun filled day. I hope to see you there.

Well Mrs Lynn - you just might win the award in Bloggyland for having the most cloches. LOL

I MUST find more of these darlings! You have a wonderful collection and I must say, a nice collection of bunnies and birds, too. You're a woman after my own heart.

Thanks so much for sharing all your pretties with us. Hope you and your hubby are doing well. Hugs, Barb

I am still visiting the cloche party goers..and yours are lovely!
If I had to make a choice..I think it would be the one with the natural nest. NO ONE can make a nest like a bird! :) Your husband did good to get that for you. Protecting it under glass is perfect! All of your cloches are beautiful. I own five live birdies...so..I also am into the bird theme! I love birds and yours are just beautiful!
Thank you for stopping by to see my sweet pillows by Rebecca.
See you soon! Have a wonderful weekend!
Mona :)

Ohhh my...now I'm realizing that you have made several posts and I didn't even know it! Girl, why didn't you come by to say Hi? I've missed you terribly! In fact, I emailed you several times but never heard from you...just been so concerned! I do hope that everything is going better for you and your honey! I'll have to go back and read all of your posts...I just feel like a complete idiot because I didn't even know you were here!

Just so happy to see you Darlin'! Well, I guess I should go and take a look at your blog...I didn't even stop to do that...just came right over to leave you a note! Love you, Lynne!!! I've missed you terribly, Girlfriend!!! I'm just so happy to see that you're back!!!

Girl, you have quite the collection...I love each and every one of them...and you have them all decorated so beautifully! I really like the one with the real eggs...so pretty! But my favorite is the big cloche on the stand!!! Girlfriend, it's fabulous!!! I love the bird on the gazing ball...what a statement that big beauty makes!!! I see my bird's cousin has found a home under one of your cloches...hehe! My little tweet has ended up in my studio/office...he's perched underneath a big ol' decorative iron crown and sits on top of my hutch! Well my friend, thank you for sharing your fabulous cloche collection! I'm just thrilled to see you, Lynne...it's been so long!

Love ya,
Chari
