Cloche Party & a Friday Flashback

Marty of A Stroll Thu Life is hosting a Cloche Party. I am excited to be a participant, but before I talk cloche's, I want to thank everyone for participating in Thrifty Thursday (held weekly, every Thursday). I am always amazed and inspired by everyone. I enjoy seeing what treasures are found, what thrifty and clever ways one might reuse and even the way someone can make gardening a great family event-thriftily. Love it! As mentioned, I am always impressed, but yesterday one post I was so intrigued with, it is found at The Good Life

Just follow the link and see what this gorgeous bed....that she made for her dog (the luckiest dog in the world) was in it's former state. You too will be impressed. And that is just one of the fabulous finds on Thrifty Thursday, found here each week on ...well, Thursday's! So join in , or make the rounds! But have fun!
Thanks to everyone for participating. Its always fun and I LOVE my bloggy friends!
Now, onto the Cloche Carnival!

A cloche doesn't have to be glass. They also come in other materials such as wicker and wire to name a few. A cloche is anything that you can display something inside.
I almost posted my block of cheese under a cheese dome, but I realized that I had some things that might qualify. Though, dont think for one second that I dont put something cute, ie a birds nest on a pretty plate and through the cheese dome lid on top of it. I mean, why not? I am thrifty. And it works pretty well. I bet you can do that too!

Marty said "Dig through those closets and pull out all your hidden treasures and show us your creations. Some of the ladies want to also show their apothecary jars they decorate. So feel free to show either or both."
And that is just what I am doing for my show and tell. I would love a cloche, but I don't have a "real" one yet. But I do I have jars. Lots of jars.....

This small glass jar, a thrift store find, holds wine corks. Despite the wine in the background, I am not a wine drinker. But I do love to cook with it! I depend on my wino friends....Oh, I kid, my friends who occasionally partake to supply me with the corks.

So...if you have some corks you don't want, send them my way! PLEASE?????
These apothecary glass jars hold straws, a bird in a nest, and another waiting to be filled.

I have jars of shells, picked up with my family while beach combing, throughout my home.

I am so excited to see all the different cloches everyone has and how they display and decorate them!!

Today is Friday Flashback with Deanna of Coffee on The Table. The theme is "Made in the Shade". I am out of town this week on vacation, so I didn't have access to any pictures from the past, so for this week, I hope it will be ok if the flashback is a flashback from this past week. That is the past isn't it? Shoot! Vacations fly by much to quickly. Anyway, my made in the shade:

"Rainbows in the Sand"

It's a sure way to beat the heat on the beach. That and a tropical drink.....
Thanks for stopping by! Leave me a "roadmap"......

Hugs, friends!
