Autumn Cloche

I'm joining Marty's CLOCHE PARTY, please stop by her blog to visit her fun party!


I found this tall cloche last spring at a sale and have never put it to use until I spotted Marty's party on Barb's blog. 
Be sure to stop by Barb's blog too (HERE)and see what she did! I love it!


Anyway, I started playing around with an old cast iron pot, turned up-side-down, placed one of my velvet pumpkins that I made about 10 years ago on top of the pot, hung a simple copy of an old postcard on the pot and placed the cloche over it.


Added a few pressed maple leaves and some old brown books.
I'm quite happy with how it turned out and so simple!


Thanks Marty and Barb!

    What a terrific imagination you have, Faye. This is my first visit, and I'm so glad I came and saw your pretty pumpkin on a bucket under a cloche. That postcard is just perfect!

    Please come visit me and see my cloches.
