Christine's Home and Travel Adventures

The long awaited Spring cloche party is here! Hooray for Marty for hosting yet another fun meme. You can see lots of beautiful creations by visiting her and her participants at http://astrollthrulife.blogspot.com/. You will be amazed at how much talent there is in Blogland.

I will start with my mini cloche containing the reason we celebrate the Easter season. I placed my turquoise crucifix in it, a reproduction of one of Jackie Kennedy's cross collection. We rejoice the ressurection of Jesus 3 days later.
And of course Easter is not the same without bunnies. Here is a turquoise bunny placed inside a wire cloche. Don't you just love the nest and eggs on the handle?

It is getting warm outside and I have been gardening a lot so here is a copper pitcher set for a refreshment. I bought it from Roatan Island on our last cruise last week. I found that little birdie stand from TJ Maxx in Cape Coral when I stayed with my daughter when she had the baby. It was $3 and I thought it would be perfect for this cloche.

I figured out a way to display my Chinese terracota soldiers and a horse. My sister gave them to me as a gift after she visited China. She said is was part of the treasures dug out from the empire of the Last Emperor and to this day, they are still digging and finding more. I just love having part of a historical past. I really love the set. Thanks, sis!

Here is a birdcage I decided to use as a centerpiece, adorned with candles, a duck Polish pottery, some flowers and a bunny.

Here are some more gifts I treasure. I got the ceramic pieces with roses and the shell from Candy. I placed a little angel with them. I bought a little hanger so I can hang the heart which is very pretty. Thanks, Candy, love 'em! You can visit her lovely blog at http://rockcandy56.blogspot.com/. You will be glad you did!

My son bought me this Lladro Nao bunny while on his honeymoon cruise. Imagine thinking of his mom while on his honeymoon! What a sweet son! I did not want his feet to be cold so I placed him on a mini Persian carpet that I brought back from Turkey some years ago.

You might have seen this before on a Teatime tuesday post, just a bird planter with purple flowers. Her baby is just watching.

This set I know you have seen. They used to sit on our deck dining table. Do you see the bird I added on the right one? I love those plants inside. They look so real and just the right size. The plants outside the cloches are real.

This is a little cloche sitting on one of the end tables in our guest room for grandkids. It has blue and yellow colors so I thought it will look good with the blue and yellow room.

I guess that is it for today. I have more but gathering and decorating them is a task. I have been recovering from a persistant cold and gum abscess. My resistance have gone down from getting too tired from all the travels, planning, packing and unpacking, organizing and now gardening. Thank God the antibiotics are working cause that abscess sure is painful.

Thanks for all your visits and comments and thank you Marty, for another fun cloche party!
