Blog Parties

It's time for another cloche party!!!

The day has finally arrived!! It's time for Marty's Winter Cloche Party. Any of you that have been to my blog before know that I love, love, love cloches and apothecary jars.

Since I am the one who makes the rules around my blog, I am officially naming myself the "Cloche Queen". Anyone out there willing to challenge me on that? I hope not as I'm really a scaredy cat & would hate to fight to defend my title. But lets just keep that between you & me.

So now that you know that I am the cloche queen, you won't be surprised at the numerous photos to follow. You should be able to click on them to make them larger if you really want a better looksy.

A lot of you will have already seen my winter & Valentine cloches. But I think they are worth a second look.

We will start off with Winter:

















This was the first year I have decorated for Winter. It was fun to be able to have a little bit of Christmas pizazz around for a few more weeks without it looking really Christmasy. I'm sure I will decorate for winter now every year.


If you are still sticking with me, we will now move onto Valentine's Day.

















If you want to know the particulars of anything, just ask me in comments. Believe it or not, I decided not to be too wordy. I figure most people just look at the photos. They don't really read anything that is written. But I could be wrong.

  6. Oh all of your winter displays in your cloches and apothecary jars are just fabulous. I think I have drooled sufficiently over each one. Then your Valentine's ones seemed even better. I just stopped in my tracks at the little bride and groom. You definitely are the "Cloche Queen". I am impressed. Thank you for always being such a friend and joining the "Cloche Party. I really appreciate your gorgeous eye candy. Hugs, Marty

I can't imagine coming up with all the stuff to decorate all those cloches and apothecary jars with for a regular day to day kind of dispplay and you have moved seemlessly from Christmas, to winter, to Valentines day and have done it beautifully!

    Oh .... and I'm one of the wierd ines that likes to read. If I like a post well enough I even read the comments to see what others like about it and to see if the original blogger posts anything additional in their comments.
