Cloche Party

Welcome!





Hello everyone! Thanks for dropping by, I am really in the holiday spirit and I have been decorating up a storm! After a lot of decorating it seems like I have a lot of cleaning to do too.....what's that about? Here in the Kitchen I have gotten the Candy Land Tree done and have started the detail stuff now. You might remember this cloche that I used for my Halloween display


Now I have it with a silver tree candle


I like doing the trees and then decorating...Marty's Cloche Party is the perfect time to show you some {I mean} all three of my cloches!


I love my cloche base that I made last summer and I have gotten a lot of use out of it.
I use it now to display one of my favorite vintage Santa guys





I love this guy and I don't know if it's just me or not, but I can't find decent looking Christmas figures out there....it seems like they are trying to see how cheap they can make stuff-and it's really showing. I have had this guy for many years.





My dear MIL bought this vintage looking tree for me-love it! I have more going on in the kitchen {probably too much} but let's go ahead and move in to the living room.



I have kept the color in here to a minimum, but I like that right now with so much color in the kitchen, the living area is plain and simple.




Plain and simple doesn't mean I skimp on the details.
It can't be any easier than this: Snow, snowflake, and a few ornaments!






I love my milk glass collection and I use several pieces for everything, especially this little vase, which I have multiples of







I love green and brown together and throwing in silver for the holidays, well friends, it makes me: happy! Putting ornaments in apothecary jars is simple and beautiful! I used a collection of glass and glitterey ornaments. This would be a great way to display odd ornaments






Dressing up candles, you've seen these before, with holiday ribbon, and they are feeling festive too!






I recently got this silver tray at my favorite thrift store and I really love it! It cleaned up purdy! Chalk that one up to Thrifty Love!






Well I can't seem to do anything with out having pinecones! So here they are! Nestled all together in a not so big cloche and a milk glass base-to me, this is perfection

  12. Oh Michelle Sweetie...
    Everything looks positively beautiful. I absolutely love your Santa in the cloche. He is so adorable dragging his two little ornaments with him. I love his skinny little legs.

    I love the snowflake(brown)that you photographed hanging with the light behind it. Such an awesome job. Your milk glass bowl is beautiful with the greenery and the snow sparkled amongst it with the ornaments. So beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful cloche ideas with me today.

    I have signed up to follow your blog. I can't wait to see what you share next.

    Please stop by and let me share my cloche ideas with you. I would also be so honored if you signed up to follow my blog as well.

    Country hugs...Sherry
