Hello !! guys well were off to another fun week in blogland....I hope all of you had a great weekend....I know I did I just loved doing Chari's at " Happy to design" new RE POST SUNDAY how fun was that?? Not only did we get to do a DO-OVER but got to meet some new friends along the way... And that is my all time favorite thing to do in the wonderful world of blogging...I just love all the wonderful peeps I meet...How about you??Now today for Met Monday I thought I would show you how to make another cloche....Met Monday is also one of my all time favorite thing to do....This is Hosted by none other that the Queen of Blogland...our very own sweet Susan at "Between Naps on the Porch" Now I also know darn good and well that girl never stay's still long enough to take a nap ha ha!!! Please go by and see her GREAT blog... And you'll seen what I mean lol!!
Remember this Cloche I made from an old vase and the top of a candle....Of course you do !!! Turned the vase upside down, glued the glass candle top on the bottom of the vase with my trusty Gorilla Glue...Love this glue...its much stronger than super glue...cost more but so worth it...its always holds for me....
Any way this is how that project turned out...got me a new cloche, with just shopping my house...
Now Len came bringing this Cheese keeper home to me from a yard sale...He was so excited because he though he found me a Cloche lol !! he paid a quarter for it...Now these thing were so popular in the Seventies...just look at the Earthen tones on the tile...
See what I mean ?
Well girls I shopped my house again to see what I could do with this old thing...Found me a Chintz dessert plate and old sherbet glass and my trusty Gorilla Glue...
I glued the plate on to the glass....
Put one of my fake cakes on it...or is that faux ?? never can remember what its called anymore ha ha!
Added the dome and I now have another small Cloche....
Put a little silver tray and a tea pot picture frame in it...Just another look...
Or how about a bird nest with little eggs?? So girls next time you are out and about at the thrift stores or yard sailing...look for these old Cheese Keepers...You can make a small cloche for very little Dollars this one costed a whole quarter to make......Just shop your house to see what you can use in old plates and glasses...I just love to take things and make them into something useful again....May all of you have a GREAT day...I have to go work on an old light fixture I found at Hospice thrift store than I am making into a candle holder...May be next week I'll show it to you !!!
Hugs and Smiles Gl♥ria
