getting ready for the cloche party!

I am so excited to be going to the cloche party!  It's my first time!  I know, the party will be a ton of fun.  Here are my "attempts" at a seasonal cloche.  Don't be too hard on me...I'm a newbie!! 
Let's get this party started!!!

I wanted this cloche to be very special, seeing it is my first.  So, I started out with my Great great grandfather's journal...notice the date?  1870!   I opened the journal up so you could see inside.

                                                    Next added a sterling silver pen.

                                 Then I added a burl wood hand carved cross and a few leaves.

And there you have it...my very first cloche!  Isn't she just stunning?

Now, that was so much fun..I just have to make another.

The next cloche is an iron type cloche.  I love the openness a rustic qualities of this cloche.  My DH, went to the store on Saturday and bought me my new pilgrims.  They are now aptly names, "John and Marsha P. Pilgrim".   The hand painted bright orange poppy tray was a garage sale find for $1.00!  Don't you just love it!! 
Thank you for stopping in the morning!! Happy Cloche Party!
