So, without further adieu, Welcome to Marty's Cloche Party!
Several of the lovely blogs I read have cloche collections, which I've drooled over on numerous occasions. After seeing all the marvelous vignettes that I could create if only I had a cloche, I was on a mission to find one. Unfortunately I wasn't able to locate one until Christmas was over, but what a perfect cloche I found. I was in Pier 1 looking at Christmas ornaments when I suddenly spied the cloche. I had to move tables and chairs and it was look out for anyone who got in my way! That baby was coming with me! Once I got it home, all my grand ideas fled. Oh my, what do I do with it now? I tried a little of this, nope, and a little of that, nope... Then I found a sweet little cake pedestal at Marshall's. It fit very well and the elevation made it seem more important. It lives on the piano and I usually rotate figurines in it. I'm sure all the creative ideas shared at the party will inspire new wonderful vignettes!
(Click on photos to enlarge.)
My first Pier 1 cloche has a sweet humming bird figurine in it. (I have the hardest time with glare when I try to photograph a cloche. I think it's time for a new camera.)
The little mini cloche covers fresh plums and sits on a sweet little blue and white stripe plate that I found at a thrift store a few years ago.
My latest treasure! I've looked at the wire cage/cloches at Michael's for several months and finally bought one. It's just so sweet with the little bird on top. I bought 3 daisies to use with a candle in it. It's just too cute. (I hope you think so too!)
A last look.

You really do have some wonderful cloches. I love the different sizes. Now the little birdcage cloche is so different. Someone else has some wire ones. Isn't this fun. I love the different things that you display in yours, the figurines and the fruit. What great ideas. I am really getting inspired. Thanks so much for participating. I just published my post and if it ever shows up, please go by and link up with Mr. Linky. Hugs, Marty
Diane sorry about your internet problem. We've been having computer issues all week long so I can relate.
Your cloches all look wonderful!
tTe hummingbirds look gorgeous inside and the wire design is adorable and so vintage looking.
Happy cloche party!

I really like the wire cloche. I will have to hunt for one. Of course, I love your glass ones too, very pretty display! Sorry you have internet problems....Christine

Beautiful table and beautiful cloches, Diane!!
Oh I love what you did with the same wire cloche I have...
Love your photograph of the cloche's outside!!
Looks like you are on your way in having a nice collection of cloches!! I've seen some lately in garden catalogs of a solid cloche..to me that rather muddied the idea of a cloche in the first place!!
Your table is so pretty- the wire cloche with the bird finial is so cute and full of whimsy!
Oh, these wire cloches are killing me! I just love them. Beautiful display. Happy cloche party!
Very charming, Diane, but I am just loving the wire clothes I keep seeing - what is it about them that is so appealing?! Linda
I would have been up all night. I can't sleep without the sound of my fan going! Oh and the heat............. not good in Florida!
The table looks marvelous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How are you?????
So Pretty! I really like the wire cloche - I need to look for one.

Hi Diane! You have some beautiful cloches! I've looked everywhere for a pretty one like the one you found at Pier 1, so maybe I'll try there! The wire one is really cute, too! And...yes, you may have my pickle!! lol...hugs...Debbie

Happy Cloche Party Day! I'm afraid I'm a cloche-free blogger, not by choice, I just haven't seen one to purchase. I also do not own the ubiquitous Target birds. Woe is me!
Your cloche and table look absolutely lovely. I'm green with envy...too bad my thumb is not! Your garden looks gorgeous.
Hugs, B.
I love your cloches! I feel like jumping in the car and going to look for one now!

Hi Diane, Had to come over to see your bird cage! That looks so cute with the candle and daisies... you're giving me ideas...
Love your cloches, too! That is something that I'll have to look for. The closest thing I have is one of those butter lids or whatever they're called...
Such a pretty setting, Diane -- beautiful!
I love, love, love your cloches. I really like the wire one from Michael's. My Michael's never had them. I feel cheated. But it is probably a good thing as I would want to buy one. Sorry to hear about your internet & power problems. I'm lucky, I have a son who is a computer whiz, when something goes wrong I yell, Brandon. He comes & fixes.
I LOVE your pretty table setting and cloches! Heaven!
Hugs!
Maryjane
What a pretty table and your cloches are beautiful! I've never seen the one you found at Michael's - good eye! Never fret, I just got my cloche post up a few minutes ago (5pm no less) so you beat me by a mile!!
Robin
I've seen several wire cloches today and I really like their rustic charm. I must keep my eyes open for one. Lovely table setting too!
Hi Diane! Your cloches look wonderful!! I LOVE the wire cloche/cage!!! Hope you've had a terrific week! Dana
I love your cloches! The wire one caught my eye! The flowers in the background are stunning too!
Blessings,
Sandra
I love cloches too but only have a few.
Yours look great the way they're together on the table :)
I know this is not the pink saturday post, but somehow I found my way to the cloche party. I had the time of my life, thankyou and glad to see the powers back on, Happy Pink Saturday, Char
Hi Diane,
Your cloches are lovely. Have a wonderful weekend.
Diane I can sure relate to computer problems. I was on the phone last Sunday for 5 1/2 hours about mine. I have it up and running, but I don't feel that it's right yet. Funny how spoilt we get when we want to just hit a button and nothing happens.
I love your bell shaped cloche.. and the wired one with the bird on top is darling. I totally forgot I have 2 small wired ones.. ummmmm I think that might be another post. lol
Hope you're having a super w/k.
hugs ~lynne~
I enjoyed seeing your creativity with cloches. I especially like the combination cloche with pedestal.
Such a pretty table!!! Wish I could sit at it and enjoy your cloches and garden!
Oh what a beautiful collection!!! L~
Wow, your cloches are so pretty!
Very pretty! I enjoyed seeing your displays.

Hi Diane...you crack me up with your cloche story...about finding it and getting it home and then not knowing what to do with it....that sounds just like me! I have about 3 cloches and don't have a clue what to put under them! :-) I hope Michaels still has some of the wire birdie ones...I'd love one of those! I'm checking tomorrow...wish me luck! Susan
P.S. What will I put under it? LOL
HI
