I love this old lamp base, and thought the cloche looked neat sitting on it.

Love this one...its small, but wine corks look kinda cool under it...

Heres another version with the rusty lamp base.

Just thought I'd share a few ideas I use glass domes (cloches) for...nothing too exciting or new here, but they are FUN to decorate with. I dug out my spring stuff and took a few pictures...THINK SPRING!

Great post!

Beautiful displays! My favorite is the lamp base used with the cloche, but I'm a sucker for birds nests.
Thanks for sharing!

piecesofthepast writes: Very cool displays! My favorite ones are the clock and the eggs with the bunny. I don't have a lot of room to display cloches in my house, so I'm envious of those who have room to set up stuff like this. That old lamp base was quite a find! Posted: 4:40 pm on March 11th

CottageElements writes: Andrea, I think we all have a thing for cloches! I was just thinking of doing something on them as I have a fairly large collection. These look amazing. I love the floor lamp base. I think that's my favorite. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for one of them!

JunkArchitect writes: You come up with the coolest displays. They always have just the right amount of rust mixed with all your other great objects.

fellowjunker writes: I love, love, love cloches as well, and love what you've done with all yours. The lamp base is a wonderful idea. So glad you shared some "spring" moments. Even though the crocus' are blooming here we are having record low temps.

texasjunkermom writes: Very pretty, each one. I needed one to serve a practical use and my husband moved heaven and earth trying to find one for me. He did and it is in use right now to keep dust off a very precious ornament made by a 90+year-old lady. I'd love to find some like yours. Maybe at a garden shop? Love the ones on the rusty lamp bases. (I'm trying not to covet!) Posted: 10:40 pm on March 10th
