Cloche Party!

It's finally here! The long awaited second cloche party! The fall cloche party! Thank you, Marty at A Stroll Through Life for hosting! Go here for lots more inspiration. It's not fall here in Florida and I don't have my fall decor boxes out of the attic yet, therefore I wasn't prepared for fall decor with my cloches. I have a lot of other things to share though, but first a little of fall!

This is a little bit fall-ish! I bought this wire cloche and wire "cake plate" at Hobby Lobby for 80% off.

Well, actually it wasn't a cloche, it was a hanging planter! I cut the chains off and turned it upside down - voila, a cloche!!

The gourds have glitter on them, they were from Dollar Tree. I plan to paint this cloche and cake plate, either white, gold, or black. Which do you suggest?

Okay, here's more fall, I used the same cloche and blackeyed Susan silk flowers along with a little scarecrow (purchased at Walgreen's today for 99 cents, just for this party!

Small faux acorns are in the bottom, I think they came from Michael's.

Next I have my large cloche with a pretty ceramic "shell" tea light holder
I bought the "shell" for my friend who collects shells, but before giving it to her I did a cloche vignette with it using a sailboat, and sea gull.

The cloche is displayed on a rattan placemat, and surrounded with a capiz shell necklace.
Before we moved here we had a condo at Cocoa Beach and it was decorated with sea life things, these are left from there, and we have a bedroom with sea/beach decor.

Next I have my baby shoes displayed under this (cheese) cloche.

Faux dried yellow roses are accents

My baby shoes
I put this together with the cheese cover, a plate, and a dessert dish:

The three together:

Next is a small child's tea set under my medium sized cloche
and square crystal cake plate:

It also has little cups and saucers,
but they didn't fit inside

Next is my etched cloche, I have displayed my cameo collection inside:

Two cameo pins are inside with a framed silhouette

The vintage cameo earrings (clip-on and screw-on) are outside the cloche

Deep red silk roses are inside and outside the cloche

Next are two small cloches displaying small figurines

The cloche on the left is a pastry cloche, I bought it at Ross for $6.99. The one on the right came from Goodwill, I'm not sure what it was supposed to be, but it is now a cloche! I bought the little glass stand at Hobby Lobby at half-price.

Both of these little figurines came from Dollar Tree!

I think they are so cute!

I did two tablescapes recently using two of my cloches.
I'm posting them here again in case you missed them!

This lady is actually a skirt vase:

This is the etched cloche (above)

Below is the medium cloche used as a centerpiece for my yellow rose tablescape
The same little dollar store figurine, but I glued a yellow rose to her hand.
Well, I hope I haven't bored you to death with all my cloche designs!

Which is your favorite?


Have a happy day!
God Bless.

Tablescape Thursday

For today's Tablescape Thursday I'm sharing some unique napkin rings. This tablescape in on our breakfast nook table.

I bought these napkin rings several years ago. They have salt and pepper shakers on each side!

Trying to get a good shot, these with the flash.

These dishes came from Dollar Tree a few years ago.

I like to make homemade soups, especially during colder weather, this table is set for soup!

I also want to share our Labor Day watermelon!
I've had the watermelon salt and pepper shakers for many years.

I'm a big fan of watermelon, and all melons!

I like to have salt on my watermelon! Have you tried it with salt?

I also eat my watermelon with a knife!
What do you use to eat your watermelon? Knife, fork, or spoon?

I bought the green gingham plates at Target a few months ago, they were 99 cents each.
I think the centerpiece flowers look like watermelons! I've had this for many years.

This is another tablescape on our breakfast nook table.

Thanks to Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for hosting Tablescape Thursday!

I hope you enjoyed seeing these two tablescapes!

Have a happy day!
God Bless.

Gone With the Wind 70th Anniversary!

I'm taking part in the GWTW 70th anniversary party Nikki at Scarlett Rose Garden is hosting. Go here to see lots more GWTW posts! Nikki is a young lady in her 30s, she loves to dress in vintage clothing and shoes! She also enjoys dressing in Scarlett's clothing, and Rose, of Titantic, clothing. I always enjoy her posts!

I'm sharing my Scarlett dolls, starting with Barbie in her Scarlett picnic dress.

She has such beautiful green eyes!

You can see the pretty wide brim straw hat from the back.

Next I have four Madame Alexander 8-inch Scarlett dolls:

She also has big green eyes

I really like this pretty white ruffled dress

I had to have this Scarlett because of the yellow dress!

She looks so pretty in yellow!

A different version of Scarlett's picnic dress and straw hat:

Oh, those pretty green eyes!

The pouty rosebud mouth is a characteristic feature of the Madame Alexander eight-inch dolls

Another pretty style of the white party dress

So pretty in the flowered hat!

Scarlett and Rhett
I only have these two tiny Scarlett and Rhett dolls

They are actually Hallmark ornaments!

I hope you enjoyed seeing my GWTW dolls!

Thanks, Nikki for hosting the party!

Have a happy day!
God Bless.

Tablescape Thursday

Tablescape Thursday! The day all dish-a-holics look forward to! Go here for lots more inspiration.

Today I'm sharing the tablescape most often used on our breakfast nook table, it is one of my favorites!

I received these matching quilted reversible placemats and napkins from a special blog friend, LaTeaDah! There are perfect for us!

The print pattern on the placemats and napkins pair so well with my yellow Fiesta.

My "Songbird Garden" dishes by Rosie B. Farmer, match the Fiesta and the placemats!

I forgot to use the yellow handled flatware! (See last week's post where I used them.)

This is a cheery tablescape to wake up to each morning!

I really enjoy this tablescape and find myself using it more often than others! Thanks, LaDonna!

Thanks to Susan who hosts Tablescape Thursday weekly! We enjoy it so much!

If you missed my rooster tablescapes, click here or scroll down to see them! Don't miss the cocky red hot rooster who thinks he's hot stuff strutting around!

Have a happy day!
God Bless.
