Happy Day!
Yesterday I spend the day with a sweet friend of mine. We ate lunch, talked and laughed. Got Starbucks coffee, ate SB lemon cake, talked and laughed. And of course, we went shopping!
I was so excited to find this sunflower cloche.
You may remember my post, Spring Cloche, where I shared a bird cloche my cousin had given me for Christmas. Most cloche's are clear glass, so what I liked so much about both of these is the painted detailing. Nice touch don't ya' think!
So, what to put inside? Let's start with some popcorn plant tied with raffia.
A silver tray, for a bit of sparkle...
Some birds, of course...
Birds need some nesting, so shredded paper and green moss should do the trick! Oh, and a glass dish to hold it all.
Here are a few close up shots showing the cloche details.
Just love the sunflower and bee...
Sweet little stamp, adds a french flair...
Now this is special, it says Friendship. Both my friend and I bought one. I'll be thinking of her often because this will be on my kitchen table!
Where there are bees there are butterflies.
Now, putting it all together...
Found this cloche at TJ Maxx.
I love hearing from you, please leave sweet comments.
Blessings,
Cindy

I saw a cloche like that at HomeGoods a few weeks ago and loved it. However, I wasn't really sure how to display it because I didn't know if you could see what was inside. I like what you did with it though.
ReplyDeleteI have a similiar shaped plain one I'm not using now and if I wasn't so scared, I'd paint something on it to make it look like yours.
Lovely posting! Have a great weekend. Patty
ReplyDeleteCindy this is a gorgeous display!!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a cloche with a sunflower in it! I would love to find one!
So pretty!!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen one quite like that Cindy! It is just lovely and you have filled it perfectly. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing it with us at Inspiration Friday this week!

Cindy,
ReplyDeleteYour cloche vignette is perfect. I love the embellished cloche, it's perfect for summer. Popcorn plant? New to me. This is the first one I've seen. And the birds are gorgeous. Did you paint those? What a fun reminder of a special day with a friend. Enjoy!

The joy of the sunflower on glass expanded exponentially with your display.

I found that same cloche at T.J's a couple of weeks ago. I fell in love with it immediately.
ReplyDeleteI knew that whatever I put inside of it wouldn't show up a great deal. the cloche itself was so darn cute that I didn't care.
Enjoy!
Hi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with your cloche, It is very pretty. and the cloche itself is very pretty!
Like the touch of the silver tray underneath.
It all looks super.
blessings, Nellie
Also liked your blue tables, what a great transformtion! they look great to me.
This week my friend Eloise (pronounced E-Lois) gave me a transparent glass high wire insulator. I put it on my sofa table, and thought "Hmmmmm, wonder if I could turn THAT into a cloche."
ReplyDeleteSo far I haven't found the right "tiny" to put under it - - - but am keeping my eyes open.

I remember your bird cloche, and this one is every bit as lovely! I especially like the detail on the bee. The cloche could be left empty and look pretty, but everything that you added inside just makes it look stunning!
ReplyDeleteHappy REDnesday,
Carol
