Homemade Cloche's!!

It's finally here!  Our wonderful Marty's Autumn  Cloche Party!  But first, a disclaimer.  Marty may want to kick me out of the cloche party.  You see my cloche's are imposters!  Yap, not a real one in the bunch.  Now here's the beef.  I really wanted to be part of the party but there were no cloche's in sight.  So I turned to the lovely Gloria's blog, http://happytobe.blogspot.com/  to read up on do it your self cloches!  If you haven't been there, check it out!  Not only does she have a lovely blog, but she has a great tutorial on do-it-yourself cloches.  Thanks Gloria, I hope I don't embarrass you. 

My first little cloche is also a tribute to my recent guest.  If you don't know about him read the post directly below.  I used a cheesekeeper from GW, a decoupauge plate, an ice cream dish, and my cute little porcupine.  Photographing cloches are a real art and one I haven't figured out.  It's even more of a challenge when your using a fake! LOL.

Same cheesekeeper, only I added a little halloween pumpkin and a vintage looking halloween thingy ma jiggy.  Hmmm, this cloche business is tough.

Next I headed to the bedroom for a little blue and white.  Here I've added a little blue plate, a wreath and a little set of minature dishes.  I set it on our dresser next to a wedding pic of your's truly.  Getting better, but still how do you photograph these fake cloches with all their cheesy shapes!

Next, I decided to use a vase.  I found one in the basement that was large enough to use and then I borrowed a topper from a little bathroom jar.  I glued the topper to the vase and added a silver platter that I found at GW for $1.99.  In went some autumn decor, a ceramic pear and some fallish ribbon.   I actually kind of like this one and think she's a keeper.  Now go visit Marty for some real cloches and hopefully she will let me join in.  Thanks Marty for hostessing this!    Cindy
