Oh my cloche...a masquerade!

Hi dear ones! Marty at A Stroll thru Life (click to visit)  announced that she wanted to have a cloche party and since I missed the previous one, I made a mental note to join in this time. Very last minute again on my side but that's life folks... The theme was fall cloches but since we are supposed to be having spring...well, certainly not the last few days..its brrrrrr here, I looked around the house for some things to "do" my cloches with...

Yesterday, I drove to Franschoek and when I passed that wonderful shop called Masquerade in the main road, the penny dropped...So, I found all the Venetian masks and gave it a bash. Not the cloche....!!!

It looks all "autumny" anyway since my home is all in fall colours ...

I raided the kids bedrooms for theirs. The one leaning against the painting is my own one. The black one on the top of the cloche is my daughter's and the one in the cloche, my son's!

When we visited Venice, each one just had to buy their own and what a difficult choice it was to make, believe me it took an old age. I love all three and they fit together beautifully in the little  impromptu vignette.

This is my mask leaning agaist the painting and I adore the detail...

The bicycle always stands on the hall table...in case the car doesn't start!

Hmmm....but someone will have to do a quick "Honey I shrunk the Kids move " on me if I needed to use it...

It's quite a work of art in its own way.

From my "Kitch" collection I included the gondola that Mr. Tassels bought in Venice. You guessed it gals , its fantastic plastic! Shhh.... don't tell the Jones's.

I surrounded the bottom of the cloche with a pearl strand.

The mask inside belongs to my son thus the music notes.

 

The plastic was so dazzling that the my Canon wouldn't focus properly...

This one belongs to my daughter and is quite glam.
I am feeling a bout of "O solo o moi "( sung in my best operatic voice) coming on.

Okay, you can remove your earplugs, I'm done.

Africa sneaked into the equation in the form of the spear on the back of the book.

He doesn't normally live here in the entrance hall but was appropriated  from around the corner in the formal lounge.

I have two tiny cloches and last weeks rose bouquet fills them this week on the sill in my kitchen window.
They were drooping in the vase but I always struggle to throw them out and they have been sitting in a white bowl for a couple of days still smelling great.

The colours of the rose petals picks up those in the pictures.

Love the texture of the pot.

 

Lastly, I was now running out of ideas as well as time and started thinking of lunch instead...

Well, and then I popped the tomatoes under the last cloche.

They look luscious!

Phew... that was a cloche encounter! I have one more cloche left but came up blank so I am all eyes to see all the other cloches.

Lunch time...

Live well
