DIY Vintage Easter Cloche

April 21, 2011

Today I thought I'd share with you a peek at my most recent project.  Now for those of you who don't know me, I looooove cloches.  Problem is, whenever I find them in my favorite Club G.W., there's never any bottom part to them, i.e., bowl or platform to place them on.  I finally got fed up with my fate and took matters into my own hands.  Enter the DIY vintage Easter Cloche.

I know it's a bit funky in that I didn't place it on a traditional looking stand.  But the day I found the actual top of the cloche at Club G.W. I was DETERMINED to find other elements that would work to create my final vision.  So the darling glass parfait cup came home with me, too!  Add one robin's egg blue plate special into the mix and voila, I had my cloche display piece.

I love how I can create two different vignettes, one on the top and one on the bottom, depending on my mood.  The vintage blue wooden eggs were a church thrift store find from a few years ago.

 The vintage crocheted doily underneath sits on an old, tarnished silver platter.

I really do love it.  It makes me happy every time I look at it.

Here's to a happy and blessed Easter to you and yours!

And it looks so pretty! None of mine came with a base, so they sit on a variety of things.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Hi Kathleen,

I love this look you created!! Very chic... I had to come back to say, "We both have a Thomas"...tee hee :0) By all means save the image that has the Soulmate quote...it really is a beautiful definition of the word.

Pink Sparkles for your day,
Stephanie ♥

I love what you've done! I'm finding it harder and harder to find those cloches at GW and now I know why...... you're snagging them first. Do you shop at the GW in South Elgin or Batavia?
