An Autumn Cloche Party!


It's that time of year again.  Time to dust off the cloches, jars and autumize them for Marty's cloche party.
Please join my friend Marty,@ A Stroll thru Life.  She is so talented and she also has such a cute Texan accent!
Oh, I want that accent!


I found the little ghost in a bucket for only a buck.  I like him under this little wire cloche ( a give-away win)

My only new one is this 1.99 apothecary jar from GW.  I filled it with little acorns and added a ribbon.
I like how the ribbon has little acorns too.


Ribbon and autumn leaves are simple and inexpensive.


I like them here on my window ledge where the morning sun spills in.


A fifty cent GW jar filled with candy corn.


A ceramic gourd, also a GW find sits under my taller wire cloche. 





A little wooden pumpkin found a home under my cheese dome.  I used a little plate I had decoupaged as a base.


Well that's about it for me gals!
We are on baby count down around here.  The Dr. said my daughter has dropped and baby girl is in the proper position. Just 20 more days and I hope it's sooner, since she is getting pretty cranky.

Take Care,
Cindy

  2. Hi Girlfriend...

    I came over just as soon as I seen you post for the cloche party! Hehe! Whew...I ran even!!! Cindy, all of your autumn cloches are soooo pretty! I love the wire cloches...I don't remember seeing the taller one...awesome! Ohhh...and I love your new apothecary jar...what a bargain at just $1.99! Well my dear, you certainly have created some gorgeous autumn vignettes with all of these pretties! It's sooo much fun, isn't it! Hey...I bet if I were around...that candy corn wouldn't last long! Hehe! Then you'd be looking for another pretty decoration!!! Hmmm...well, if I were to try and choose a favorite cloche...I would probably have to go with that darling pumpkin bucket under the wire cloche! It's different and I love that!!! It's hard to come up with things that haven't already been done...but you did it, Girlfriend! Thanks for sharing all your pretties with us...I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!

    Ohhh my...I know that you and Katie are both counting down the days! It won't be long though! Did you get the nursery painted? How are you feeling, sweet friend? I hope that your back and everything is better by now! Take it easy...okay? Grandma, you're going to be needed very soon! wink!!!

  8. Oh Cindy, you really went all out and they are all gorgeous. I love the jar with the candy corn, too cute. Your apothecary jar with the acorns is wonderful. I can't find acorns anywhere. Guess they aren't readily available in the desert. lol Your cloches are fabulous. Love the wire one you won, what a fabulous piece and your taller wire one is wonderful too. You do have some pretty ribbons and your gourds and the wood pumpkin are so pretty. They all look wonderful on the window sill and the view outside is stunning. Thanks so much for linking to TTT. Got my fingers crossed that baby comes soon. I know you are excited. Hugs, Marty

  11. Hi Cindy,
    I with Shelia, I love that big window ledge and it's perfect for displaying your lovely cloches.
    I really like the wired ones, they have such a french farmhouse feel.

  12. Cindy, they look beautiful in your window. I'm loving all of those ribbons you have tied on them. That acorn ribbon is so pretty, and aren't you clever to tie it on to a jar of acorns. The leaf ribbon on the cloche with the little jack-o-lantern is also beautiful. I love both of your wire cloches. Good luck with the baby delivery Grandma! laurie

  38. Cindy, I really like your tall wire cloche! It looks wonderful with the gourd inside it- sometimes the nicest things are the simplest. I've been meaning to put my candy corn in a jar, but I keep nibbling on it right out of the bag and there is now very little left! Guess I have to go buy more.... *grin*
    Everything looks so happy and "fallish." Is that a word? tee hee
    hugs, Sue

  41. Hello Cindy,
    I found your blog through Marty's blog & posting about the cloche party. I just looked through your blog and love your photos and decorations...your cloche displays are so pretty! Spurs me on and give me some ideas. :-)

    I hope you will visit my blog as well and get to know me. I live in northern IL, not too far from the border of WI, so we're practically neighbors!

  44. Wonderful, Cindy! So glad to see that someone else uses those cheese domes in a new life! : ) I love the acorns and their matching ribbon. Your windowsill looks just wonderful in the sunlight. I'll bet that's a nice warm spot in the Winter months. Very exciting about your daughter. Mine had our first grandchild in July. I just can't get enough of her!

  45. Your photos are WONDERFUL!!!! Everything is so pretty...I love the wire cloches. I want one soooo badly but haven't seen one anywhere. Also want a glass one but can't find it either other than via snail mail and the shipping charges are sky-high! I'm also envious of all you gals who find wonderful treasures at GW. The nearest one to me is 30 miles and I've never found anything there other than junk! I know you're counting down the days. I so well remember when we were waiting for our first...and second!!! Better get as much sleep as you can in the next 20 days!

  47. Your house looks ready for fall Cindy! I haven't gotten anything out yet, but I'm planning to get it together this week. I've missed some posts during my vacation, but I'm enjoying catching up. Loved your modeling shots! I hope Katie's baby comes a little early too. I never went past my due date, but I'm sure that must be hard.
    Tell her I'm praying that she has an easy labor.
    Blessings,
    Marcia
