The base is wrought iron filigree with four little ball feet. The little glass dome sits securely onto the base. Don't you just adore the scalloped edging???

On Crooked Creek wants to thank our dear hostess, Marty @ A Stroll Thru Life for hosting a Summer Cloche Party! What a "perfect" opportunity to debut my newest cloche! You'll want to be sure to visit to see what the ladies of Blog Land have created for your viewing pleasure and inspiration!
Wanting something unique to showcase in this small cloche
. . .measuring at 4 1/2 " wide X 5 1/2 " tall. . .was no easy task.
So. . . shopping the house, I settled on this shell.
Look closely. . .it's a sea shell that has been cut to resemble a flower blossom! You can see how the floral shell nicely fits the base of the cloche. My dear Chicago pen pal gifted me with this several years ago. I'd say she has a gift for finding the unique. Oh, how I do treasure her friendship and this gift!!!
I normally group items of three when setting a centerpiece for my expanded round dining table. Keeping the unity of hues in my centerpiece, I pared the tiny cloche with a cream colored urn filled with faux white florals.
The largest of the three items is my ivory lidded urn. The ivory makes a delicate back drop for the cloche and reduces the glare for photographing and viewing!
What a wonderful time I've had viewing all of the different cloches in Blog Land during this Summer Cloche Party! Again, many thanks, to our dear hostess, Marty for hosting.
On Crooked Creek will be posting the tablescape in its entirety soon. Be sure to stop by for a visit soon!
Until next time. . .
What a sweet, sweet cloche!!! It is adorable and I love what you oput into it! That was a great gift from your pen pal! I am going to have to see if I can come up with something for the cloche party:):) XO, Pinky

Pat.Oh I love your little cloche and the little shell flower. It's so unusual and pretty. Your vignette of the urns is lovely and I like your idea for putting the large one behind to reduce the glare. I had an awful time photographing my cloche. I'll remember your tip next time. Thanks for your sweet comments and you have a sharp eye to notice the Nell Hill's book. lol

WOW! I love the seashell flower.
ReplyDeleteDee
I've enjoyed catching up on your lovely blog. I'm inspired by your re-do of your galley wall. Since I painted our hallway I am about to do that, but hesitant as I know it is is not as easy as it looks to arrange pictures. I love your sweet little cloche--the base is so unusual but adds a lot to it! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteFinally got back to comment though I have drooled over your little cloche and delightful shell flower a number of times.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are staying cool on Crooked Creek.
Blessings Kelsie
What a very cute cloche. It looks very sweet displayed with the vases.
