As "Cloche" As it Gets

  1.  Maybe I should have named my post, "Clocheless in Carolina " , giggle..
  2. Since I've been waiting for this for weeks, I just had to participate.
  3. My cake plate is As Cloche As it Gets to a real Cloche at Sonny's House:-)
  4.   I went to Marty's Cloche party early this morning and I saw some of the most beautiful, magazine worthy displays I've ever seen.. Needless to say I feel a little silly posting mine but its the thought that counts, right?  So , thanks for letting me play too..
  5. My Birdies and I appreciate your visit and wish you a happy Cloche Day~!!
  6. thanks so much for hosting this party, Marty....

!~ Happy Spring ~!
Sonny

    Great idea, Sonny! I have one of those cake plates, too, but never thought to use it for this kind of display! Must think outside of the box {or in this case, the cloche}.

    Hi Sonny! Oh, cake plates and covers work just fine for a cloche! I love reading your reasons! You make pretty very well. Happy Clocheness.
    Happy Easter,
    Shelia ;)

    Hi Sonny! I think you are funny, love that, and I really like your cloche idea. And, I love your Poms! They are so cute. Thanks for visiting me. I am following you too now. I enjoy a giggle too so we will be "cloche" friends! Oh and I think that the numbers showed up because you entered the list feature instead of the centering one. Just a thought. Bentley and I wish you a blessed Easter!

    Love,
    Susan and Bentley

    I love your using the cake plate cover for a cloche and the results are beautiful. Reminds me of the "another use for" articles in "Real Simple" magazine. I'm going to follow your lead; my cake plate and cover don't get that much use -- two people don't need an entire layer cake! Love your creativity! Annie Joy

    What a clever idea! I never thought to use any of my cake plates as a cloche. Love the outside the box thinking Sonny!

    It is so much fun to see how some people have a knack for decorating with different items. Elevating your cloche brings a new dimension to your table. You can keep this out all spring. Hope you have a Happy Easter!

    I had been wanting to join in too but all I had was glass-domed cake plate so I used one also ;) Your birdies looks so sweet nestled in your cloche.

    Hey Sonny! I love it. I too am Clocheless in Carolina, seems like I saw them everywhere several months back and didn't know what to do w/them. Now I know, an cannot find one! I also thought of the cake plate idea but didn't have the guts to do it. I LOVE that you did! Mostly, I really love HOW you did it. It is fantastic! Love the birds! Looks great!!!

    Sonny,
    Yours is beautiful! Good job, and thanks for sharing!
    I don't have a cloche, so I must go to ebay and see what I can find to participate.
    Happy Easter!

    When I first looked at your cloche I didn't know it was a cake plate until I read your post. It's very beautiful and the little birdies are so sweet. Happy cloche day and happy Easter.

    Morning Sunny,
    I love your cake plate cloche, it is adorable!
    What a great idea! I just got my first cloche,
    it was a $2.50 find at the hospice shop. It is really a glass chimney from a Sconce, and has
    a hole in the top, but you can't tell now.
    I might post some of my Easter decorations on
    Monday since I didn't get to this week. Hope you and yours have a Most Blessed and Holy Easter,
    Nellie

    I thought about using a covered cake plate, but I did not have a large enough place cleared out to display it once decorated.....maybe next time. Your cake cloche was just too cute and sooo springy. If I was a bird, I would want to nest there....if I could breathe of course. hehe Thanks for sharing and stopping by. Became a follower.

    Blessings~

    Works for me! :-) I thought about doing a mini vignette under my cake dome, but just never got around to it - like a lot of other things lately.

    that is a great cloche!! I love it. I was gonna come to the party but just didn't. Your vignette looks a lot nicer than any of mine.
