A Cloche Call

I admit it.  Until I started blogging, less than six months ago, I didn't know what a cloche was.  I didn't know how popular they were, or how versatile.  I think I first came across one on Marty's blog called A Stroll Thru Life and that is where I'm linking today and joining in on her fun Cloche party.  I've since seen cloche's all over the blogosphere, been inspired by the creative ways to use and display them, and finally picked up a couple of my own to share today.  I think I'm officially hooked. 

I found these two cloche's at Hobby Lobby.

One is filled with a stack of vintage brown transferware cups

And this one holds an early 19th century transferware plate which slightly mimics the shape of the base.  Atop the plate I put a real bird nest which was in the wreath on my front door and a real bird egg found in the yard earlier this spring.

On the kitchen counter, a neatly stacked batch of cookies from the Etsy shop, Sweet Cheeks Bakery rests upon a late 19th Century Spode compote, topped with a cloche.

I have another of the Spode Byron platters as shown below for sale HERE.  

And this little mini-cloche is one I put together using an individual trifle bowl.  I just tied some hand stamped ribbon around it, flipped it over and put it on an orphaned saucer.  I made two...one topped with a flower and one with a bird nest.
You can see the entire tablescape HERE.
