Well my friends, as I began to think about what I wanted to do for the Winter Cloche Party...I started thinking about all the different "frocks" that my cloches and apothecary jars have donned this winter season! Ohhh...I do love to dress a pretty cloche or apothecary jar!!!
*
Here in Colorado along with the winter season...comes the snow! Have you ever seen it snowing when the sun is shining? It's absolutely gorgeous...there is nothing else in the world like it! As the snowflakes catch the sunlight...they "glimmer" and "shimmer" just like diamonds!!! It's sooo magical!
*
So for your viewing enjoyment...I present to you a few cloches and apothecary jars...dressed in their finest frocks of the winter season!

Once again, the large apothecary beverage jar takes center stage! What can I say...it's difficult to upstage such a "presence"! Hehe!
*
Winter white is everywhere...and silver...shimmering silver!!! Silver shimmers ever so brightly against all the winter white! Honey and I both thought we were blinded by our love for one another...hmmm, or was it all the shimmering silver? Nah...it was the love...true love!!!

They are all just so beautiful! I have never really gotten the cloche thing down, but yours are sure a lesson in gorgeousness. Maybe I'll get brave and try one now! :) And thanks for your really sweet comment!

Hi Chari,
Everything looked beautiful. Your vignettes are perfect and your pictures are gorgeous!!!

I love all of your shimmering beauties. My favorites are the ones with the snow outside the window:) So beautiful, the jingle bells and the sparling balls... wow! Enjoy all of the sparkles my friend, I did!
Chari, you know that I love all of your cloches and your jars, but with the gold balls, bells and fabulous ribbons on the LR table, this is just stunning. Everything is just fabulous. The dining room is stunning. I really, really love that huge apothecary jar and then all of the silver is unreal. I think this is definitely one of the prettiest table you have done. I love the cloche on the silver stand, just so pretty. Thanks so much for joining the party. You always have the best eye candy in all the world to look at. Hugs, Marty
Chari, talk about lush!!!! Girl, you are the queen of the lush pictures. Ooooo, they are wonderful. I love the golds....so warm and inviting. Just lovely!!!!

Hey Dearie,
I don't know if I have ever seen more beautiful cloches!!! I wonder if there is a job for cloche designer, cause they would pick you! The golds, the silvers and the wintery whites!! That with all your beautiful silver and your wonderful photography. Well dearie, I can't say enough about how fabulous this post is. I almost feel like deleting mine, it's pretty bleak. I head to AZ. next week, can't wait! Need to see my son and dil and Marty and... It should be fun! Hugs to you, Cindy
I loved the show as always!!! I always love everything you do. I love all the silver & white the best.

Beauty...every photo is beautiful! These is something I've never tried to do. I need to find one for some of my shells! I love them! ♥
What a beautiful job you've done! I always love that window and what you choose to have in front of it. Such a lovely spot in your house. Your cloches are just filled with splendor!

Love all the silver you've incorporated with the cloches. Lezlee
Hi Chari. Everything is so sparkly and beautiful. You sure have the touch for creating magical pretties. Its so captivating! Rosie
Love all the silver and gold. Your table was stunning.
All your pictures are so lovely. Your tea for two just looks so welcoming and special. Sweetness!
Chari- Your decorating is always so beautiful and elegant. I really do think you must come down and help me with my dining room! (not the wallpaper removal- I promise- the fun decorating part is what I had in mind!!)
Greely, CO is March 1-6th- I sure wish there were a way to get up and see you though I don't think Bill would appreciate me leaving him with the 2 little ones!! But so close....
I do hope I will be done with the paper stripping before we leave- we will see- it is very slow going but I promised Bill I wouldn't kill myself over it!! Do you remember the days we could redo a room in such little time-- my what age does!

Chari - it all looks so wonderful. I love the snow in the background - it just adds the finishing touch to it all. I think the Valentine set was my favorite.

Good Morning Chari,
Yes, I get to visit with Marty and Karen is coming and several other gals. I am so excited! My mom is going with me and hubby is staying home this time. Someone has to earn a living. hehe. My son says it's been about 75 every day, so I am ready! Oh, the view you asked about is the one over my sink in the kitchen. It is a nice one, but now I wish it would turn to green stuff, instead of white. Have a great day my friend, I loved this post it is the most beautiful thing!! Hugs, Cindy
What a fun and sparkly post. Gotta love a good dose of blingbling.
Hi Chari,
Your cloches are stunning and everything is so beautiful! Love your ladies displayed along with all the sparkle! Happy Friday!
Blessings,
Sandi
Good morning Chari! I agree with everyone! Every picture is a beautiful work of art. I love the sparkle and the beautiful theme. I love your displays....wow...I could just look at these pictures forever! big smile. YOu have outdone yourself!

So pretty! You did a great job. Really like the ones with gold.
Wow, what a stunning job you did. Really beautiful.
Spendidly and utterly lovely! Believe it or not, today's comment will be "short and sweet"!.., Hehe!..,
Now dearest Cheri,the only thing left unsaid, (or as in this case requested, with a "pretty please", is: when will we perhaps get a glimpse into other the lovely rooms in your home?.., We adore the dining room and living room!!.., What other lovelies may await? .., ( I have so enjoyed the rose bedroom blog)!..,
Hope you are most well my dear friend!..,
Cheers, blessings and hugs from Wanda Lee @ The Plumed Pen
Bonjour Chari,
Lovely wintery whites, your designer details are incredible. Seriously, I see all the pretty table settings in the Paris boutiques and yours would looks right at home. I'm also hoping you would share your photography secrets - my upclose shots seem to look well, they don't look like yours:(
To answer you question about the relaxed lady on my post the other day, we found her reclining in the Versailles gardens last Spring.
Bonne week-end!
Chari...this post was dazzling! I'm going back to drool some more! That tablescape took my breath away! Absolutely stunning!
I'm joining in Sunday Fav. this week if I can just remember to come sign up...my brain doesn't work sometimes!
Hugs!
susan
That is what I call bedazzling!~ So pretty!~
Chari, these are absolutely gorgeous! Since I saw your first post with all of the mercury glass, I have been looking for mercury glass, but I fear you've bought all of it already. I can't find any! You came by and thanked me for coming to see this post, but I had not yet been able to get over here. So glad I did come to see all of this shimmering beauty. laurie
Oh Chari dear! What a beautiful post. Your pictures are just amazing!! How do you capture all the beauty? The cloche's you have shown are very inspiring. Have a wonderful weekend, Marcia
Chari, So sorry that I am late to visit your party. Your cloches and apothocary jars are gorgeous. You do an amazing job with your vignettes! They are so beautiful. I know about the snow falling and the sun shining...I live in Manitoba, it does that here too. I love snow and sun, one of the many reason I love living here. I would so love a visit from you! Hugs, Cindy S.
Hi Chari, Love all your arrangements! Let's have tea!
Chari, I love the jingle bells:) So beautiful....every post you do is beautiful. May God bless you and your family this week!!!!
I still love the silver & white table the best. It really matches our weather today - cold, snowy with a very little sunshine poking through earlier. Talked to Mike today and understand your part of the state is scheduled to get some snow, too. He is hoping for a snow day from school on Monday. Have you had a chance to get out some this past week? Hope your body isn't talking back to you still - winter will be over soon! Take care, Sally
Oh you are good! They are fabulous..I remember that tablescape too..stunning!
