This little post is all because of my friend Stephanie. She introduced me to your awesome vintage blogs which in turn inspired me to start my own.
I picked up this monster cloche at Home Goods a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. It's 12.5" x 12.5" and was only $20!!!
I emailed Stephanie to tell her of my really cool find and asked her, but what do I put in such a big cloche!!!
She immediately emailed bunches of images with ideas. One cloche idea had crochet things inside.
Seeing as I love to crochet using the vintage crochet thread, have saved all of my Grandmothers fine crochet hooks and have all these beautiful crochet pieces and crochet thread, that seemed like the ideal thing.
I spotted this old silver compote that I hadn't done anything with, that would make a nice holder.
And this beautiful old dinner plate I picked up at the Goodwill for $1. The gold trim seemed to go so well with the aged look of the compote and the old white went so well with the crochet.
It sure is not easy to photograph a cloche with reflections from the windows !I hope these show up okay.
Thanks Stephanie!!!! for all of your inspiration!!!
Thanks for stopping by!
