I'm starting with a small cloche on a stand, some call these a cupcake or dessert cloche. I like to display miniatures in them. These tiny little shell angels are collectibles, but at the moment I cannot remember the name of them! If any of you know, please tell me!
(Note: Thanks to Adrienne for telling me they are by Margaret Furlong, made in Oregon.)
Here's a close-up of them without the cloche:
They are adorable shell angels, one holding a shell tea pot, and the other holding a shell tea cup and saucer! These shell angels come in many subjects, but of course I wanted the tea themed angels!
I found the little tiny shells in the bottom of the dish at Dollar Tree!
It's hard to get a good shot with or without the flash when working with glass!
I have a new terrarium that I found at Hobby Lobby a while back. Even though I have two
terrariums already I had to have this one because it is small, and it was only $12!
What do you put in these other than a candle, or a bird? I chose to use this cute little figurine:
Next is a medium sized cloche on a pretty square cake plate:
My husbands hobby is scuba diving. When I saw this little pottery guy at a craft show I had to buy him for my husband, even tho he cost about $35! Hand crafted, you know!
Below is another gift I bought my husband at another craft show:
What is it, you ask? It's a tiny sea turtle hatching out of the egg!
He has big black eyes. Here in FL we can go to the beach to see the mother sea turtle lay her eggs, then when they hatch we can watch them run to the water. It is a very big fine if they are harmed.
Can't have a cloche without displaying a bird in it!
I found this pretty yellow bird recently at Kirkland's for only $3.99
For those of you who did not see the spring cloche party I'm showing my favorite "cloche" this large terrarium filled with faux dried yellow roses and little white birds. I still have it displayed as it is still a favorite!
Another favorite cloche I shared in the Spring Cloche Party is the one I still have on the hall tree
in our foyer. I also still use this as my blog banner. I've had so many compliments on it!
I hope you have enjoyed seeing some of my cloche summer designs. Which is your favorite?
The Shell Tea Time Angels?
I wish I'd had more time to do more using some of our sea collectibles! Maybe I'll do them at another time!
Have fun at the Summer Cloche Party! Thanks for hosting, Marty!
God Bless.

Hi Katherine! Oh, I love all of your sweet cloches! But I'm a little partial to the one with the little shell angels! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Well, how clever you are, sugar! I don't think I've ever seen a diver in a cloche before. Very unique. ALL are adorable of course!

It's a tie between the angels and the scuba diver. Such cute things that fit under your cloches.
The scuba diver is so much fun.
I love the shell angels.
Wonderful cloche collection, Katherine.
At first I didn't pay much attention to cloches...and then I began visiting blogs that had them when Marty began her parties.
Yours is so very interesting. All those sweet little things in them. So cute...and the angels. How sweet!

I love the scuba diver one the best.
I have a small collection of Margaret Furlong ornaments. I love them. She discontinued her business for a few years while she went through a divorce and now has begun again. Love each and everyone of your cloche's.
Mr. scuba man is just so cute. Love him. I esp love the shells and the sea angels. Very pretty cloches and you have a lovely blog. Char

You have some gorgeous displays. I love the idea of using the cake plates to lift them up a bit. Hmmm, I may have to look around the house for another area for one more.
Nice cloches. Shells for summertime. Have a great weekend.
What a wonderful assortment. You know I adore the girl and puppy, but the scuba diver is a close second!
my favorite is the spring cloche!!
thanks for visiting my page!
Wow, you did so many! I love the diver!
Have a great vacation!
