ic Kathe With an E: My First Cloche Encounter

My First Cloche Encounter

I was soooo excited when Marty at
announced her Summer Cloche Party!

I have been sitting on the
sidelines ogling at all of the
lovely cloche displays for several years now.
Before I even began blogging!

A while back, gosh maybe a year ago, I found the
perfect cloche at the thrift store!
 I paid a whopping $1.00 for it!

I then had to come up with
how I wanted to decorate it.
It sat just there taunting me
to come up with SOMETHING!

I went through most of my bins in
the basement and I think
I finally came up with a
cute and fun display to share.

I have it set on a thrifted silverplate tray
and added a wine glass from the Dollar Tree
and a glass grape cluster from Michael's
A chunk of faux cheese,
another cluster of grapes
and a small bottle of wine
sit inside the cloche.

I am loving the little display
under glass on my buffet!
It's like my own little
personal wine party!

Now head on over to Marty's 
on Tuesday July 24th
and check out all of the amazingly creative
cloche decor!

Click here to see where I may be partying this week.

And don't forget to come by on Tuesday's
for the link party.

  5. I can't believe you got that at such a steal, and I love the way you used it with the wine and cheese theme. I had forgotten that there was a cloche party.

  16. That is a party on a tray. I love it and by the way you are now doomed to buy cloches all the time. I have tons but paid nothing for them at thrift stores and such.

  24. I am jealous. I need my own personal wine party! Looks great. I broke my only cloche so I couldn't attend the cloche party! Apparently the thrift store employees have been reading blogs because they are pricing them so high these days around here.lol

  29. Cloches are addictive - you can't just have one! Yours looks terrific and finding it for just $1 was a real score.

  30. Very pretty arrangement, although I'd probably want to grab a grape every time I walk by!

    ReplyDelete
