  2. Oh! What a lovely idea to put these precious items under a cloche! How are you Anne Marie? So nice of you to visit me! Thank you for your sincere comments. These mean the world to me! And yes, I have so many ideas for a book. I never thought however, a romance! Come by again soon. Anita

  4. A beautiful photo...I love how you captured the light! I have a collection of cloches but have never settled on what to put in them. For now they are on top of a hutch and are beautifully simple. I can't use them in my gardens as we live on a golf course and glass items could get hit by a ball! Ouch! Please include me in Black and White Sunday tomorrow...looking forward to it! Erin

  6. Beautiful cloche, Anne Marie. The blue hydrangea looks gorgeous under glass!! You are creative and clever.

    Marty is having another cloche party in September. It's a great time to show yours off and get ideas from everyone else.
