One Cloche, Twelve Looks

I've had fun this week getting ready to join Marty's Cloche Party at A Stroll Through Life. I only own one little cloche ($3.99 at Marshalls's) so I thought I'd challenge myself to see how many ways I could fill it. It turned out to be more of a challenge than I thought as I couldn't use my flash to photograph through the glass and the sun hasn't been out here in Maine all week. In fact, I've spent so much time gathering objects, working on lighting, and editing photos that I'm hoping I'll get this posted in time to link to the party! So, here we go...one cloche, twelve looks...

#1 Easter Fun

#2  A Garden Party

#3  Tea Time

Such cute ideas! I was sorting through my things for my booth and found 3 more cloche/cheese domes like yours in my boxes! Need to get them out and make some cute cloches=

Your blog girlfriend,

How clever you are. I think my favorite is the black and white with the nest. Anyone of them would be a wonderful centerpiece, though.

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...

Well, you've got lots of ideas, Cheryl! I usually find one I like and call it done! Although I tend to get a bit restless with it when the seasons change. I'll have to keep some of your ideas in mind!

Nice to meet you. First I would like to express my condolences on the loss of your dear sister. Then, congrats on your great weight loss! I used to be a size 10 too. Love your cloches, and how you did them all different.

I don't know how I missed this post last week. How creative!!! It would be very difficult for me to pick a favorite!! Thanks for the inspiration!

Mimi said...

Just discovered you through My Romantic Home. And I am so sorry for the loss of your sister - I have a sister Nancy too. She has been my rock in so many ways so I can only try to imagine your loss. Your beautiful sister would love your work and your posts. Keep it up! I just bet the little chicks in the cloche would make her smile.

Liz @ the Brambleberry Cottage said...

How creative, Cheryl! Goes to show how versatile cloches can be - in the right hands. ;) I especially liked the ones that were spring themed.

Thanks for linking to the party. Can't wait to see what you've got for next time.

Blessings,
