Spring Cloche Party

I am joining Marty from A Stroll Thru Life for her Spring Cloche Party. Be sure to check out all the other talented bloggers that have been busy with their cloches, apothecary jars, or anything else they can put pretties inside.
This cloche was a gift from my newest SIL for helping with her wedding preparations. I know, how sweet and what a great gift!!!! Inside you will find, a little mini cup & saucer from Victorian Trading with dried flowers from special floral arrangements. On the saucer, you will find a charm from my childhood.







I have nicknamed this jar "fire hydrant". Don't you think it looks like one? Nestled inside is a little bunny (from Hobby Lobby) and bead fillers. I hope he has enough air! I like him sooo much....he may stay out for awhile. :)










You have seen this beauty before......same ol' pears....just added a few Quail eggs and bead fillers.








Under this little bell jar are Robin eggs and jelly beans.....very hard not to lift this jar for a little treat! Resting ontop of three pastel saucers from many years ago.





Last but not least.....my apothecary jar filled with Easter eggs.





I think it is difficult to photograph cloches and etc. Sorry some of these were a little dark. I tried to use natural light and my flash. Oh well.....about time for a new camera! Be sure to check out all the other talented bloggers and see what they have created under some glass. Happy Easter to all!

Holiday Cloches

This is my china cabinet in my kitchen. I change out the top of it during the different seasons. This is a new display arrangement for me this year. Love the red and white transferware theme with a little bit of peppermint thrown in.
Not a cloche....bot I though Santa looked so Royal perched on top of the the tiered cake plates. Don't you agree?

Apothecary jar filled with fake snow, candy canes and shatter-free ornaments from Hobby Lobby.


Small bell jar filled with gold filler beads from Hobby Lobby on top of a red transferware saucer.



Apothecary jar (b-day gift from sister-in-law) filled with pears, gold glass balls and filler beads.




The combo together....
Thanks for joining me for Marty Holiday Cloche Party. Be sure to check out all the other great creations. Be sure to check back and see my holiday tour of 14 Christmas trees, Dept. 56 Snow Villages, Nutcrackers and twinkling lights. Happy Holidays!!

My cloches.....

My trio of "cloches"......
This bell cloche was a steal at Hobby Lobby for 2 bucks! I filled the little cutie pie with acorns from our backyard and place it on a brown transferware saucer.

This was a birthday gift last year from my sister-in-law. I filled it was faux pears, and I changed it out according to the seasons.


This apothecary jar was a birthday gift from my moma....it was a steal for 10 bucks at TJMaxx. I filled it with dried beans and various nuts from our backyard. All of the squirrels are VERY mad at me right now for taking their winter supply of food. :( I'll give them their nuts back when I empty the jar.
Thank you for viewing my collection of "cloches". Be sure to check out all of the other creations on Marty's A Stroll thru Life. Thanks again.
