2011 Fall Cloche Party



 This is my first cloche given to me by a special friend. I love the rustic base. It has a faux pumpkin but real muscadine vines from the natural area in my yard. Should have cropped out the plug outlet.

Dining room buffet. This pair of cloches came from Hobby Lobby.

This is from a post I did last year and this cloche was purchased at Scott's Antique Market in Atlanta. It is tall and at first I found it hard to work with but now I am enjoying using it. Also used it in the next photo.

Tiger pumpkins.
From previous post this year before I knew Marty was having a Fall Cloche party. You may view here.


I like this bell shaped cloche and thought on this vintage english cake stand it looked like fall. I like the reflection in the mirror too.  Does anyway else out there in blogland have trouble with your cloches getting dusty?  I have looked and looked but can't find the blog I read about putting old pages of books in them to absorb cloudiness. NOTE: I found the post !!  Becca @adventuresindecorating. Wish there was a trick to the dust!!!


On our trip last spring to Provence we stayed in a wonderful chateau and this cloche was in the library. Isn't it beautiful?

Thank you Marty for all your great cloche parties. I am joining Marty for her Fall Cloche Party.

  6. All of your cloches are lovely, Bonnie! I love that tall thin one. I didn't know that Hobby Lobby had cloches. Being new to an area that has one, I'll have to look for them next time I'm there.

  7. Very pretty cloche designs! I like that muscadine vine! I'm from AL and my grandparents had those grapes on their farm. Wish I had some of the vines!

  8. I've never seen tiger pumpkins before-they are so pretty! I especially love the arrangement you have done with them under that long cloche.

    You always decorate so nicely. I can't wait to see what you do at Christmas!

    Take care and best wishes for a wonderful week!

  9. My favorites are your first rustic vignette, and the pumpkins stacked in the tall cloche. I really like the idea of that tall one. Thanks for your visit and memories about quail.

  10. Hi Bonnie,

    It all looks absolutely wonderful.

    The cloche is fantastic.

    I don't have one but after seeing these photos think I will invest in one!

    I love the way you have everything displayed.

    It is all great.

  11. Love all of your cloche vignettes! I like using pincones flocked with snow under them at Christmas. You've captured the essence of Fall with all of your pumpkins and pinecones. So pretty. Thanks for stopping by and visiting me too.

  15. They all look terrific Bonnie. I do really love the tall one with the stack of pumpkins. You'll have to take a look at my cloche with the toasdstools in (post before last).I think there is nothing to be done with the dust except wash the glass unfortunately! Hope you had a Happy Halloween? Love Linda x

  16. Isn't is amazing how you can transform an ordinary object into something special by simply putting it under a cloche! It takes it to a whole new level. Yours are all great.

  23. Hi Bonnie~ I love all your cloches! Your kitchen vignette with your rustic base is my favorite! I love your tall one you shared before with your stacked pumpkins and the butterfly cloche is incredible...

    Thanks for your sweet comments, I'm looking forward to seeing how you use your tortoiseshell vases~ they'll make a wonderful Thanksgiving display. I can just picture them with pheasant feathers, nuts & pine cones!

  24. Hi Bonnie, I forgot to answer your question about the fabric bags. They are Kate Forman fabrics, and I think they are for holding plastic shopping bags. You put the bags in the top and take one out of the bottom when you need it...I think! Love Linda x

  25. One of these days I am going to have to have a cloche. I love all the things you clever girls do with them. I like your stack of pumpkins. Those should be good all the way through Thanksgiving.
    We are gearing up for the Alabama/LSU game tomorrow night. Will you be watching?
