Cloche Party!

I'm joining in on Marty~A Stroll Through Life's Cloche Party today. Everyone joining in will be showing how they have their apothecary jars and cloches decorated. I still have my Spring decor in mine! I had planned to update them with a more summery theme this week but I haven't been feeling well all week. By the time I get home from work each day I'm drained!

The apothecary jar above just has some reindeer moss and a nest with faux robin eggs.
Here are some more I have on my birdhouse table in my living room.

Here's a closeup...I have a nest and some vintage postcards in this jar above.
It's a little hard to see inside this etched cloche, which I bought on sale at Marshalls last year but I have a miniature iron birdbath with some more faux eggs.
The one above has vintage lace trim and buttons. Please stop by Marty's blog and check out the other great ideas!
Have a good weekend! I sure hope I start feeling better soon. I hate being a couch potato!

  3. I love all your ideas, Cindy, as usual! :-)

    I'm so sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well this week. We're supposed to have a mini heatwave this weekend, too (at least that's the last weather report I heard, but you know how quickly those can change, lol.) Hopefully you can stay cool, rest, and feel better for next week.

    Get Well Hugs,

  4. Cindy - sorry you are not feeling well. I know what you mean about feeling drained. I have so many projects to finish (including yours) and when I get home I just crash. A friend of mine on another message board told me about Salba Seeds. Have you heard of them? I just ordered them from gnc.com. She said the energy boost is amazing. I am gonna try it.

    Your etched cloche is one of the prettiest I have ever seen. I love all your nests and eggs and vintage postcards. I have got to get me some more apothecary jars. Yours have inspired me.

    Hope you feel better soon and can have a restful weekend. Hugs, Barb

  5. Every time I visit your blog I am so inspired. I love the way you create such beautiful vignettes and your displays under your cloches and in your apothecary jars are all just stunning. I have also seen several other you've shown in the past. Always such great inspiration. Love them all. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty

  7. Cindy, you have to have one of the most beautiful collections of cloches and apothecary jars I've ever seen. That etched one is a work of art on it's own!

    Hope you're feeling better soon but take full advantage of this opportunity to rest, relax and just "be". You deserve it.

  13. Would that I had the know-how to post pictures, though I have but two "cloches" to my name---one with the big cheese-plate, and the other a cover over a cakestand. Inside cakestand is a tiny oval rug, for the floor of the tiny kitchen made by the triangle of my childhood white-plastic dollhouse furniture---stove, fridge and sink.

    There's an infinitesimal rubber duckie on the rug, a small spatter-blue saucepan on the stove, and, true to form, all the rest of the dishes, pots and pans are piled in the sink.

    I don't think I belong here.

  14. These are all so lovely.

    I hope you feel better soon.

  37. I still love that buttons and lace cloche - which I think I commented on before! The etched cloche from Marshall's is beautiful!

    Sorry you're under the weather. Me too - caught some virus from the hubby and it's starting to get too warm outside - I hope they're wrong about our weather this weekend!

    That handcut Cloche from Marshall's is AMAZING! How beautiful! I LOVE cloches! I actually store lots in mine as well as my crepe paper in my studio. I will have to post more photos of mine.

    Nice to see you!

  46. I did it!! I posted a picture, thanks to RobinfromCA.

    It's a milestone for me, after seven months of just words, so Thank You, Robin, and thank you, Cindy, for the inspiration. My little vignette is nothing like any of yours, but guests always look in and laugh.

  47. Hi, I know you hear it ALL THE TIME, but I love your blog! I use so many ideas of yours in my home, but always give you credit.:) The lace on the toilet tank was a wonderful idea. I use lace EVERYWHERE in my home but never have I thought of hanging it on the edge of the tank.

    Please keep giving us these wonderful ideas. I wish we were neighbors!
