It's a Cloche Party!!!Hello my friends! Today is the day...the day for the Cloche Party! This is the second cloche party this year...the first was held in May! I was so excited to be able to join in with the cloche party today...to show a few of my Autumn decorating projects!
This fun filled event is hosted by our very own Marty from over at A Stroll Thru Life! Thank you so much, Marty...this is sooo much fun!!!
You won't want to miss all the pretties that Marty has for us today...so please go over and pay her a little visit and while you're there you can check out all of the other cloche party participants!!!

An Autumn Apothecary
*
I have been trying to get a little Autumn decorating done at my place. Ohhh my, I've had a mess! Hehe! This week I dug out all of my autumn decorations...you should see my dining room! Hmmm...second thought, you really shouldn't! Hehe!

*
One of my first projects was to decorate my wire apothecary jar. Whew...I barely got it done in time for the cloche party!
*
Without further ado...
*
An Autumn Apothecary
This is in my kitchen...a little Autumn finery for the cook! That's me! Hehe!
*
I just love my old chippy white enamel topped table....it's situated in the corner of my kitchen! I have an old copper boiler pot with some greenery on the table...a lamp...and ohhh, just look at the pretty little rooster tassel hanging on my lamp! This was a gift from Susan over at Between Naps on the Porch...from her one year blog anniversary giveaway! Thank you, Susan...I love, love, LOVE my little rooster!!!
*
I thought this would be the perfect place for a little Autumn bling! I used a black wooden serving tray...and added my wire apothecary jar (21 in. tall)...a few of my new autumn dinner napkins and a couple of amber colored stemware...ohhh, and do you see the big wooden acorns?
*
*
Hmmm...I was really "scratching my head" on this one....how to give this wire apothecary jar an autumn look. I decided to try a few of my ceramic pumpkins! I added a little moss to the bottom of the apothecary jar and started adding the ceramic pumpkins...then I used a little berry garland and autumn leaves for a filler! I topped it off with a pretty ribbon!
*
I found the large wooden acorns at Hobby Lobby last year. I have four...each one is a different shape and color!
*
A couple of close-up photos...I like to call them my "artsy" photos! Hehe!
*
I just love Autumn...and I love all the deep, rich colors of Autumn!!! I think the colors of the ceramic pumpkins look so pretty against the antique bronze of the wire apothecary jar!
*
Ahhh...just look at the pretty reds, oranges, golds, and olive greens...so warm and rich!!!
*
*
Autumn Under Glass
My glass cloche on a pedestal.
*
This was a "no brainer" after decorating the wire apothecary jar...I just followed suit using another ceremic pumpkin...a little moss for the pumpkin to sit on...and a pretty ribbon!!!
*
*
I added the glass cloche to the serving tray...right next to big brother the apothecary jar! Hehe!
*
*
*
Another "artsy" photo...

A start to the 2009 Autumn season decor at Happy To Design!

Hi Chari,
ReplyDeleteGreat job decorating for the cloche party. I love your artsy photos.
I posted the recipe for sticky date pudding for you. Hope you enjoy it-it's rich but so good.

Its So Very Cheri
Just beautiful, Chari. Girl, you have the touch. All your displays are so LUSH. They really are so very charming, sweet pea.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Barb :-)
I am lovin' all the fall decorations at your house. The metal container is great and I love the copper tub!!
ReplyDeleteAnswers: The pewter rub on came from Big Lots in the craft section. And the peacock feathers around the base of the cloche is just feathers attached to 1 yd. ribbon - got those for .99 at Tuesday Morning. Lotta look for cheap!!

You certainly have been busy decorating. I love your bird plates.
ReplyDeleteI have taken most of my Fall/Halloween boxes out of my storage area and hope to go to town in my house next week after I give it a good cleaning. I sure hate the cleaning part but who does?

How beautiful is that wire cloche Chari! ~WOW! I just love em' all and all of the pretty colors and ribbons you have used.
ReplyDelete~Wonderful job! ~Melissa ;)
Chari,
ReplyDeleteHOW GORGEOUS!! I absolutely LOVE that wire apothecary jar, and how you decorated it!! You really have the decorators touch girlfriend!!
Those giant sized acorns are adorable too and such a perfect touch for your Fall display. I couldn't help but think what the squirrels in my backyard would think about them!!
Your lamp is gorgeous too, and that adorable rooster tassel was just the perfect crowning touch for it!!
I want to thank you also for stopping and leaving such sweet messages.
I always look forward to your visits! You have such a wonderful way with words that I wish I had!!
Have a wonderful day!!
Sherri:)
I love it! Your Fall theme is so cool... I feel so behind right now, but no worries, I'll get there. I love all of your pumpkins and Fall decor, just lovely.
ReplyDeleteHi Chari! I really like the whole display and how it all works together so well. Those big acorns are really cool! Lovely Autumn happening here :0)
ReplyDeleteChari, I love that wire topiary cloche! Is it new? I don't remember it. You have it decorated so pretty. The berries sticking out of it just make it look like they kind of grew inside the cloche. I DO remember those wonderful acorns. I've looked at H.L. for those since I saw yours last year. I adore those acorns. The glass cloche looks so pretty too, and the pretty Fall colored ribbon ties the two of them together. (I know just what you mean about making a mess when you get out the Fall decor-did you notice my cloche photos were all close up? That was so you couldn't see the mess that was all around them!) laurie
ReplyDeleteAutumn is definitely at your house in your gorgeous cloches. What fun I had looking at all the eye candy. Have a wonderful weekend Chari~ ~ Lynn
ReplyDeleteChari,
ReplyDeleteI want the enamel top table. Oh, it has MY name on it!! lol!!
Your wire apathacary is gorgeous as are all of your nice Autumn decorations. You must be busy. Give me a good old kick!! ;-)
xoxo
Jane
I love that little one. ANd my many squirrels might think they would like your huge acorns!!! Love the fall colors on your table!
ReplyDeleteChari - It all is just beautiful! Hasn't this party been so much fun. Everyone is really giving their best with all the cloches. Your wire one is wonderful. I would love to have one to use at Christmas. Maybe it will be a gift to me!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend and thanks for sharing.
Charla
Great fall decor! Love the ribbon/bow touch!
ReplyDeleteFabulous job! The copper boiler pot is the perfect backdrop! I scrolled down and took a peek at your next two projects coming up, can't wait to see them!
ReplyDeleteKatherine
Chari,
ReplyDeleteLove the simplicity of the one pumpkin in the cloche.

Thanks always for coming by.
It blesses me.
Now to check out your 'project. =0-)

Chari, that wire cloche is just about my favorite. What is it about wire that makes it so pretty, so Frenchy!!And yes, when you open my apothecary jar, you can hear the music. I'm just sitting here trying to be clever about naming a song that you would hear....something to do with shredded, or torn.....hmmmmm, I'll think of it eventually! Linda @Nina's Nest
ReplyDeleteOh Chari! Thank you so much for visiting and leaving such wonderful and encouraging comments!You are so sweet!
ReplyDeleteYOUR home is beautiful! And your cloche displays are stunning! You really know how to make a home warm and inviting!
Lovely to meet you and looking forward to 'visiting' again soon!
Blessings!
Myrna
Chari, I love, love, love your whole Autumn table! It is so pretty. And a great job on the wire cloche, you so rocked it! :)
ReplyDeleteHey girl
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by and leaving me that sweet note, and info on photobucket.
I've never tried it. Do you hook up to it on computer, buy a disc??
OK, now, Orange pumpkins.
Yes, I made them too.
I found this material last year, and you know, in my own berserk way, made tons of pumpkins, out of everything!!
Anyway. loved this material. Can you tell it has sequins on it, and it's shiny?
Now i have found brown in the same fabric. Not sure if I'll get any more pumpkins done this year. You know how i always like doing something new.
I'm getting ready to paint some cute Autumn signs now.
hugs and blessings,
Barbara jean
