Before I begin the post, I wanted to let everyone know that the
Lucketts Spring Market
was fabulous for vendors and shoppers alike. It was a cloudy day with
scattered showers but that did nothing to discourage the crowd. The
line started forming an hour before opening. There were two entrances
and I couldn't see the end of the long lines. With 200+ vendors
there was something wonderful for everyone. The shoppers I chatted with
were thrilled with their finds. My daughter helped me and we were
busy from the opening until mid afternoon without a break. It was a
great weekend for hunting unique finds, making new friends, and catching
up with long-time vendors/friends and bloggers I don't often see. Kudos to
The Old Lucketts Store for all the hard work they
did to make it successful for all.
On to cloches.
Lately I've been going back and re-visiting old posts.
If you missed my visit to my urns and trophies, go
here.
Another "theme" that I noticed was how often I use cloches--both in my home design and in the shop. I've selected waaaaaaaay too many cloches from my home and the store that I wanted to share.
This cloche is on my screened porch. It holds some sea life and a mercury glass bird. Suspended above is another favorite design prop, a sphere.
Things have a way of moving around my home. This cloche with the artists' brushes
first appeared on a table in my foyer.
Next, the brushes took up residence on my porch.
Currently, they're in my dining room.
Shells and coral are displayed under this cloche in my sun room.
I have an egg on a pedestal under this cloche on my family room bookshelf.
Can you see the word "nest" etched into the glass?
In my living room, a collection of mottled orbs fills a jar.
In the Fall I filled a jar with acorns and antlers.
I received a gift of some lovely velvet pumpkins from one of my readers.
I used them to create more Fall decor on the mantel.
I have a stack of mini leather books under the cloche.
But wait, there's even more. I carried my obsession over to the shop displays too.
Shells under another cloche with framed shell prints as a back drop.
Bottles and cloches for sale.
I even put some clock parts under glass.
I did a Fall market and filled these with pumpkins, crows, nests, pine cones, artichokes, and acorns.
Antlers work anywhere, I combined them with some orbs for one of our sales.
I thought these lemons under glass perfectly complemented the chandelier and the
campaign furniture I was selling.
More woven grass spheres became part of a garden vignette in the store.
Whew! Have I totally over cloched you?
Please come back again. I hope I've given you some ideas about ways
to display your treasures under glass.
