Decorating with Cloches

I have a lot of cloches and use them all the time in my vignettes.  Here is a fall cloche, filled with dried pumpkin stems and thread.      I have my Santos filled with a clock face here, but you will see it later in this post filled with pumpkins.  I have had it filled with dishes, cups, stacks of folded linens, you name it!



I have the small cloche on a silver plate stand.  It only has room for a  single spool of thread topped with a flower made from an old dress pattern.

Here is the Santos filled with sweater pumpkins for fall.....


A chicken wire cloche is so versatile!  I is so big you can put almost anything under it....here it is with a bird house......

Here it is filled with a beautiful bust.....

And here it is filled with a scary glittered skull!!!

This is one of the cloches that I am putting on my Thanksgiving table this year.    Just a silver tray filled with jewelry, a small pumpkin on a silver vase, topped off with a cloche.  It will really sparkle when I get all the candles lit for our special dinner!

This is another cloche I am getting ready for the Thanksgiving table. I have an old ceiling light on a cake plate...then just a cloche and a simple silver pumpkin.

A group of cloches...


This is a different kind of cloche....it's an old oil lamp with a Halloween owl in it!

I have a post that featured him called "Halloween is a Hoot" Here is the link if you would like to see more...

  10. I love cloches, and yours are fabulous! I can't wait to see what you do with your table, and the ceiling light. That is so creative. Wow, seeing your oil lamp brought back so many memories. My parents had one of those. Now I'm wondering what happened to it. :) Thank you so much for sharing at A Bouquet of Talent. I love everything you do!!! Hugs
