Summer Cloche Party!


I spied this beautiful cloche vignette in the home of one of my dearest friends, so I snapped a few photos to have something to share for Marty's Cloche Party this summer.




Take a closer look.

Can you see what's

resting inside this beautiful cloche?



A beautiful reminder of the love of a

mother and her bond with her fledglings.




Thanks for stopping by today.

    Hi Sarah, I love the little birdies. So precious. Adding figurines like that to a cloche, makes them so much more beautiful. Have a nice week.

    What a sweet vignette in your cloche, Sarah! I was so pleased when a bird made a nest on my fig tree this summer. I have been enjoying watching the baby birds grow..they are almost ready to leave the nest :)

    Such a beautiful vignette, Sarah. I had a good look at the birds and they certainly look like the Russian porcelain that I bought in St Petersburg. Do you think it's Russian?

    I love this Sarah...the bonding mother bird with her nest of babies...so sweet and a beautiful and creative cloche...this made me smile and sad, at the same token, remembering that loose walking, Anthony woman...animals are so wise and so natural about their ways and some humans are naturally evil! Sorry, I couldn't help it. Love, FABBY

    Lovely birds - quite unusual with the pattern. I love changing things about inside cloches - who would have though such a plain utilitarian garden item could become a favorite decorative item in our homes.
