It's Cloche Party time again! Thanks to Marty for throwing these parties every season and we are all invited to join the fun. To visit Marty's site and see more creative cloches, click on the cloche banner on my side bar.
I have 2 domes with similar sizes and and I have a decorative brass scale. I tried fitting the domes on each weighing tray and they fit perfectly so I thought I would use them and decorate inside them. And here's the outcome! I just took 2 small busts and took the 2 eggs I bought from Russia and Scotland and here goes! Hope you like my little creation.
It's on our family room coffee table.
Next I took a cheese dome and just placed different types of shells in it. Placed that on the shortest nesting table in the family room. I also added a turquoise glass bucket filled with shells in there.
A few collection of raw gems and natural stones in a glass box and an amber egg in a small cloche.
I have a small wooden "Stations of the Cross" that I bought from Rome in the early 90's. It reminds me of my father because it was the last time I traveled with him before he passed away and he bought something similar too. I placed it in a cloche with a small Sacred Heart of Jesus.
I created a religious grouping adding the 2 religious eggs I bought from Russia, inside the TV armoire in the master bedroom.

I am having a BBQ/swimming birthday party for my mom and friend this Saturday and the theme will be ocean side so I created this wire cloche with a light house and mermaid and added rocks and shells.
Hope you enjoyed my cloche creations. I have been busy so I wasn't able to create much. My granddaughter AJ spent the last 3 weeks with us and just flew back home yesterday. I still have a lot of cleaning up to do. I had forgotten how messy it gets with a 12 year old in the house, lol.
And here's my little traveler as I said goodbye to her at the New Orleans airport. I miss her already. It was our 8th trip to and from New Orleans in 1 month, lol.
Thank you, Marty, for another fun cloche party and thanks to y'all for stopping by.
Christine, your cloches are all wonderful. I love your scales and putting the displays inside and covering with the cloches is such a great idea. I have a similar scale, and now I have to see if any of my cloches will fit. Your eggs and the gem rocks are such a beautiful vignette and your treasures from your trip with your dad and so precious. AJ has grown up so much, she is such a beauty. I know she loves spending time with you. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty

Christine, I love your natural stones and gems in the glass box and under the cloche! So naturally beautiful. Love your placement of the cloches on the scale, too. Such a nice touch! Your trip to Mexico looked like so much fun. Crack me up with the photo of John's crazy shirt and his mis-matched shorts! Obviously, he doesn't care if he gets spotted by the "what not to wear" crew! LOL
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing all your cloches. Your granddaughter is beautiful.
