YEA! Marty at A Stroll Thru Life is having a winter cloche party, and everyone is invited!
When Marty had her first cloche party, I only had one cloche, and it wasn’t REALLY a cloche! Now I have several cloches, including my newest – a wire cloche. I think the bunny in this winter forest turned blue from the cold! Do you see that beautiful leaf, created by Lisa Leonard? I won that at Between Naps on the Porch!
The tiny wooden train under this cloche was crafted by a friend for me when we were young. I found the train line plate at a flea market.
I’m thinking that when Marty started this cloche frenzy in Blogville, she should have opened an Etsy store and sold cloches! She would have made a fortune!
I guess winter came to the Orchard House when Louisa Mae Alcott lived there. Look at that pretty picture of the Orchard House. Have you been to see what Karen Harvey Cox is creating at her other blog, For the Love of Old Books? I had to order this Orchard House print from her to go with my mother’s copy of “Little Women” (1920 copyright). The Little Women figurines are part of the “Little Women” house in my Christmas village.
The dogs put on their little vests to go out to play in the snow.
Did you know that bunnies love to go ice skating in the "off season". It won't be long before she has to hang up her ice skates and hide Easter eggs.
Okay, I know that a brandy snifter is not a cloche, but Marty did say we could post other glass for the party, so here is the Eiffel Tower under glass. That cute little canvas art came from The Crafty Home Etsy.
These are my cloches I posted yesterday. I was afraid that if you didn’t see my post yesterday, I might lose my very coveted title - "the crazy collector of everything", since I had to use a brandy snifter for a cloche. But I am definitely not cloche poor, thanks to Marty's influence!
Be sure you go over to A Stroll Thru Life. Sweet Marty is the queen of cloches and always creates such beautiful vignettes with her cloches, and she will have links to other wonderful cloche creations. Thank you Marty for hosting this fun party! Thank you for coming to visit my blog. laurie

I love all your chloches, but the Little Women is my favorite! Those figures are absolutely perfect!!!! I can't believe they aren't supposed to be the March girls and Marmie(sp?).
I just love the wire one. With the little blue bunny. Obviously you are not "cloche poor"--I guess that's why you have "the big closet'!!! (;-O)
nestled safe from time...

Good morning Laurie! What a great collection! I know what you mean...before Marty...before Cloches....I had no idea...now I look for them whenever I go to a thrift or consignment store! It's like we are addicted and we don't even have them yet...and want more! Ha...big smile. I love what you have under the glass my favorite is the "Little women" collection and picture. Very precious and sweet. My college age daughter would love that one. You outdid yourself my dear! Great job!!!!
Blessings,
Debbie
Love all your displays - the train, the bunny, Orchard House, and your table looks magnificent. Being under glass sure sets things off now doesn't it?
Laurie, I am so drooling over that wire cloche. That is just fabulous. Your little trees and that poor little blue bird, he sure needs to get inside and stay warm. lol Your miniatures are all so beautiful under your cloches, you do have the best collection in the world. Now as for the brandy sniffer, that just cracked me up and I absolutely love it. I have to remember to do that. You know how much I loved your tablescape. It is truly to die for. Thank you so much for being such a fabulous friend and for joining the party. This is so much fun. Hugs, Marty

You know, people unceasingly enact comments when anything is predicted to happen in 2012, like “fairly that is if the world is still here.” You do achieve that the Mayans prognosticate the humanity will finish on Dec. 21 (or 23rd)? So in all good chance if anything is accepted to take place in 2012 there is only the slimmest feasibility that the everybody hand down contain ended first it happens.
