I gathered up some spring and Easter themed items today and worked on creating vignettes with my cloches.
I loved how this bunny cloche turned out! I used a cake stand to elevate it.
Then I just started arranging and re-arranging and snapping photos.
I ended up using a large cloche, a small cloche, and a large glass jar. Old leather bound books make great pedestals.
One of my favorite fillers is reindeer moss. I really like that particular shade of green.
Although I do have several faux nests, these two are my absolute favorites because they are real bird’s nests. ABANDONED nests. I never take nests that are being used by our sweet bird friends.
This is the larger of the two.
And, the very delicate petite one.
The cloches are so versatile, I moved them to a few different locations for pics.
I know, technically a jar isn’t a cloche. But it makes a great container for display.
I moved the large one in front of my Edwin Landseer engraving. Since the subject matter contains rabbits, I thought this fella would look appropriate here.
Sir Edwin Landseer (1802-1873) was an English painter and is famous for his works of animals. This is an original London engraving from the late 1800s of one of his beloved paintings titled “Children and Rabbits.” He was very popular in Victorian Britain.
I took several shots on the sideboard in the foyer.
I really like the reflection in the mirror.
Another view.
Back on the dining table.
And the last one I’ll leave you with is actually from our other home in Lexington. It sits on an antique plateau and contains the sweetest faux orchid.
I think I’m officially ready for spring and spring decorating now. This definitely put me in the mood. Not to mention the time change this weekend. Woo Hoo
Oh, and the start of my senior daughter’s high school softball season. Yes, spring is right around the corner.
Blessings,
Kim

Your cloches look darling Kim! And I love you Edwin Landseer engraving. I don't know what it is about cloches? I just love em! Everything looks better under one...Hmmm maybe I need a giant cloche for myself... *winks* Vanna

You're reminding me I need to get out my rabbits! Your cloches are so sweet, thanks so much for sharing the fun! xo
Bonsoir Kim. Not only are these "cloches" adorable, they are also "traveling cloches" since you took pictures of them all over your house... Very cute shots. They definitely put me in the mood for spring. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

The bunny in the cloche is just as sweet as can be. Beautiful for spring.
Oh they are all wonderful. Your bunny is precious and I love the little nest with the eggs, then the jar is perfect as the finishing touch. Beautiful and they look fabulous in all of your displays. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty
