Changing Up My Cloche
October 15, 2012
When you last saw my Mother's Day gift cloche, it was holding pumpkins and apples in one of my first fall vignettes.
Today I put my cloche on a cake plate that I have had since the mid 1970's. It had a gold base. I really never use it for cake, so when I saw that the cloche fit on it nicely, I painted the base white.
Here is my cake stand and cloche with some faux weedy plant with small purple flowers and my old camera.
Isn't this hand clip stand great? I purchased it last week at the consignment shop for $10. It's marked Godinger on the bottom. It's a reproduction Victorian hand clip stand. They are selling them on Etsy for quite a bit more.
This is one of my Great Grandmothers on my Dad's side.
And my Great Grandpa. He was born in Norway.
Rounding out this vignette is a silver tray with an older Bible and vintage eyeglasses.

Decorating with cloches is sooooo fun!

Love, love, love this!! The cake stand looks amazing (and now I can keep on the lookout for one and know I can remove the gold). My GG & GG were born in Norway too. Wish I had photos of them. Gorgeous vignette!
ReplyDeleteI just got my first cloche. I love the camera under it. Mine has a furry owl that I need to post. I also took a picture of the other owl and will post them together and let you know so you can see your owl's almost twin.
ReplyDeleteThe little weinee dog that I gave Lynn is about an inch long. Yeah, I forgot I collected them, hah.
Love that cake stand!! Great photos....my Grandfather was born in Norway also! hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty vignette - love the fact that the items all have history to them! The Bible on the tray is so nice.

Okay, that's just so cool. Putting the camera under the cloche is genius and that hand clip is amazing! Then you have the Bible on the tray with the glasses? I just love it! You are a never-ending source of good ideas!

Hi Carlene!
ReplyDeleteI love the hand stand holding the pics! Very nice vignette. I am cloche challenged, I can never get it right!
I read your comment about a Northern Bloggers Conference on Cottage at the Crossroads. I don't see where you are from in your profile.
A few of us from the NY, NJ. CT area have been talking about a meet up. There aren't that many of us it seems.
Just beautiful with the old pictures and the camera.

Oh I absolutely love this vignette, stunning. The cloche is gorgeous with the camera and the pictures and glasses create such a fabulous display. Thanks for joining the party. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful vignette, Charlene! You were so clever to put your cloche on a glass cake stand.
ReplyDeleteBut what takes my breath away is your old bible and vintage glasses on the silver tray. It tells such a story!!!
Hi again. I just posted my owl that looks like yours. Make sure and go to Sue's blog to see her unusual cloche.
ReplyDeleteOh sweet Carline, I'm loving your cloche with the vintage camera and vintage things, along with your g'granma's pic..she's so pretty. The open book looks great too. Thank you for your sweet and kind visit.

Hi Carlene, Yours is the first link in the party that caught my eye. I absolutely love your cake stand. I'm a collector of old cameras, so of course I like your theme. The entire vignette is lovely. glad you came over from Debby's. She is such a good friend. :-) Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty vignette. I love each and every element. The hand clip stand is so great, and what wonderful photos of your ancestors. You have some of the best stuff, and that's coming from someone who has a LOT of stuff! laurie
