Oh a Cloche, why a cloche?

What is it with a cloche?

By definition a bell shaped glass to protect seedlings.

O but it is so very much more in the home.

It captures something we love.

Maybe a tiny new plant, a figurine, anyting that makes you smile.

My vignette is spring inspired and full of elements I love.

The textures, colors and layers make it all come together for me.

BUT I had decided I wanted to make mine...

I had seen so very much on blogs,

great chicken wire,

glass of all shapes glued to this and that.

SO...my search began.

A clearance dome at A.C. Moore...YES!

Odds and ends...E600 to hold it all together!

A great knob and eggs from Virginia's shop at Chartreuse and Co.

A burlap rosette to start with loads of moss,

a little robins egg blue paint rubbed with a little burlap...

A little # and dragon fly embellishment...

Or a bee, you know I love my bees!

Add a little greenery and a feather to boot!

My Cloche!

Oh and while I was at it I had to use some supplies left over...

a glass candle holder, glass pot, some crystals, candles,

moss and green burlap ribbon....

And you get...

A springtime votive with a little bling.

So dig around, find the things you love too and see what you get!

All for sale at Just B -- Home, Art, Life at

Chartreuse and Co.

Oh , maybe one stays at my little home.

Vintage Chic... even for the man in your life

One of the ladies at
Chartreuse and Co.
just rocks at providing our customers

a look that screams Industrial Chic.

Her vintage items take everything for storage up a notch.

By the way she has just redesigned her website

Madison & Mabel

so go on by and visit

and you can buy some of the items
I used for my husband's presents this past birthday.
I do not know if it is hard for you
to find a unique present but I struggle.

I wanted to personalize my gift so I had to get crafty.

I used printed out pics of the kiddies

and some little phrases both functional and meaningful for us.

I used a 1 1/2 inch glass bubble,

diamond glaze and glued to the magnets with E600 glue.

Someone once asked about my art studio...alrighty,

truth be told,

kitchen island = studio

and

a lot-o-mess.

And yes, I drink coffee, eat breakfast and craft in my PJs. Classy.

Easy and very personal cool for "The Dad".

So I purchased this fabulous vintage baking sheet
and some metal boxes with the same cool punched holes
from my pal Kelly at Madison & Mabel.

The patina is perfect. Time worn and warm.

Add in the personal touches:
Gift cards to itunes, Borders, Cabellas and Baja Fresh

AND
BEER
and you have a happy hubby.
Happy Birthday love.
Molly

And that great bird cage lamp is from Chartruse and Co. too!!
See what you can find.
It is from Debbie at Electric Charm Decor!!
