Marty at A Stroll Thru Life is hosting another cloche party. Enjoy the creative vignettes of all the participants by checking the list at her blog.
I am also linking to Friday Show and Tell. Visit Cindy at My Romantic Home for links to other Show and Tell participants.
PRINCESS HOUSE CRYSTAL CLOCHE WITH BIRD KNOB
This 7 " tall (without the bird) cloche displays a ceramic cherub along with tiny blue flowers and crystal prisms.
He sits atop a piece of crochet on a tulip votive which is on a white doily with pale blue border.
This large cloche is a bell jar for use in the garden. So the glass has bands around and the view is not very clear. It is 12 inches tall and 9 ¼" diameter at the bottom.
I decided to use a pale pink figurine (another thrifty 50-cent find) along with my collection of rhinestone bow-shaped brooches. They are all set on top a Martha Stewart glass cake stand, a consignment shop find for just $4.68.
She is a lovely lady with an elegant costume, an off-the-shoulder dress with a big bow in the back.
Her hair is pulled back into a bun.
The second pin from the top is from my mother, who always wore lovely brooches to church.
WOOD AND GLASS SHOWCASE
This is a 10" tall musical display case for a figurine. It plays "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" when the top is lifted. This is also a thrift store find. I am using it to showcase cardinals – those bright birds that bring so much color to the winter scene.
First, a tiny framed picture of a male cardinal alongside a less colorful female cardinal. This 3 ¾" picture cost 50 cents at a local thrift store.
Next is an ornament I got this Christmas from one of my sisters. It is covered in real feathers on top, while the breast is covered with red sparkle.
Last year the same sister gave me this wooden cardinal that has a small storage area inside under the wings.
BRASS AND GLASS VITRINE
This small (5" tall) panelled brass and glass vitrine has two doors held closed by a latch.
It displays a vintage Chinese cup with a dried rosebud set inside.
The little vitrine is set on the matching saucer which rests on a brass Chinese tray and is surrounded by more dried rosebuds.
Thanks for visiting today. Do come again soon.

I haven’t made many vignettes under glass, because I have so much trouble photographing -- and especially through glass. But, anyway, wanting to participate in Marty’s party, I thought I’d gather up the two cloches I have and a couple other glass display items, and at least give it a try.
