Crazy about Cloches (aka Bell Jars)

I just love cloches…when my mom was at my home over Christmas, she got tired of me talking about cloches…she calls them bell jars.  I was so excited when I made my first cloche.

I found all these cloches in one antique mall today here in Columbia. 

Lots of different shapes and sizes!  I now have five cloches, Sarah gave me this one…I paired it with a white ironstone footed dessert plate. 

It has been fun to create little vignettes to go under the cloches.

I crocheted a tiny birds nest to go with some sea shells…

This cloche without a knob on top was $3 at the Goodwill store.  It came over an atrocious wind up plastic clock, but the cloche is glass.  I re-donated the clock! :)

This little guy is a votive holder upside down.  I glued on an interesting pinkish glass knob from Hobby Lobby ($1 on sale and some more off because it was broken--there was no screw to attach it to a drawer). 

So, this is what I have done today…played with cloches!

I even have a Pinterest board that is full of cloches!

This little dude is now sitting on my kitchen window sill…love it there. 

I am linking to these wonderful parties!
