a few more Val decorations

16 years ago

This is one of two hurricanes I 'made' from a GW vase and candleholder. (no that's not an Easter bunny, LOL. That is one of my resident hare's.)

The big end table by my family-room sofa. The cobalt vase and flowers stay there most of the time, tho I did add the pale pink roses for Valentine's. And the bird nest at the base. There is pair of china birds beside it but the lady's picture hides them in this picture.

My big cloche on one end of my L-shaped bathroom counter.

And the small cloches on other end. I haven't yet found what I want to put in the one on left. Any ideas?

    Beautiful Karen.
    I love the cobalt vase full with the little touch of pink and the big cloche reflecting in the mirror. Makes it twice as pretty I think.
    No ideas for what to put in the small on (it's to early to think...lol).

    Ahhhh, purplemoon, your v-decor looks so pretty! That bunny & hurricane (you made) are so perfect tog! And I love the touch of pink roses in the cobalt blue vase with your other arrangement!

    The bathroom cloches look so classy (as all your decor does)...the little fairy & bunny are so precious & doubly so, with the mirror relection! Only suggestion I can think of for your other very pretty cloche is maybe a textured, chunky red candle.

    You're on a roll, woman! Love everything! TFS pics! Jeanne S.

    You're getting me nervous with all your beautiful
    V-Day decorations! I haven't done A Thing!!
    Your floral arrangements in each picture are really lovely.
    I love how you arranged the Cobalt vase and I agree, the touch of pink sets everything off nicely.
    That bunny is adorable, and looks right at home 'admiring'
    those beautiful flowers!! lol
    I'm so jealous over your cloches...I like how you placed them, so they reflect in the mirror.
    How about a small bouquet of roses and a delicate candel.
    I was thinking that if I came across one before Valentine's Day, I would put a 3-D Valentine Card in it...but that's just me...
    I'm sure you'll find the right something and will know when you spot it.
    In the meantime...Everything's looking Real Good!

    I love it all Karen, especially your three cloches reflecting in the mirror. Would the other oval picture you made fit in that cloche? Are the colors right? Just a thought. I like how you did the end table and your lady picture fits right in there. (Fun to see you using some PINK too!) LOL

    Karen, I love how you decorate with your cloches! I don't have any myself, but am always delighted with your pretty and imaginative uses for yours. Your hare looks very festive with his red bow, BTW.

    See, it's not so hard to use pink, now your cooking. All the red is super too. My favorite is the cloche. I need to put something in mine. DH says I have lost my mind, because last night I was taking down my Valentine buffet decs. We are having a Mardi Gras party in less than two weeks and I have to get a move on it.

    LOL Syble...can't find a way to mix Valentine and Mardi Gras huh? Sounds like a challenge to me.

    In the large cloche, I had found the pretty little cherub two yrs ago at GW. The bunny was a Xmas gift from my adopted niece then too, so I always try to decorate the cloche with "Olivia's bunny" and send her pictures.

    Hmmm, I'm liking the idea of a picture in that other little cloche! I'm going to try that idea out and see how it looks. If not, I have a chunky red candle I could stick in there as Jeanne suggested which would work I think.

    I think those pink roses are going to be staying in the cobalt base thru Easter. I like them there myself, and when I found them at Michaels I fell in love with the soft colors in them.

    Thanks for suggestions and compliments. I'm sitting here grinning at you.
    hugs, Karen

    So many pretty things and you are lucky to have several cloches. I love those things and there are many thing that can be "cloche-ified"! LOL I've tried lots of things under my little one and would love to have a larger one as I'm limited by the size.

    I've been looking at your cobalt plates and can't ID them. What are they? I have Bing & Grondahl Christmas plates but yours don't look like that, or Royal Copenhagen either. I had mine packed away for years but brought them out before Christmas and loving them again. Your cobalt vase is lovely. Love the little bird (does he fit under the cloche?) and the hurricane you made. I've been planning to do that but a lot of my extra glass is packed away. I'm afraid to get it out as I might be tempted to start making totems again!

    I see your clochecollection has grown! Love how it is reflected in the mirror..
    I, like Jane, haven't even started..I should, cause then the really impt holiday arrives!

    LG, some of the rabbit plates are B&G, and some are Royal Copenhagen. The whippet plates are done in Sweden, can't remember name of company, but they do all dog breeds and only issue a new one about every TEN yrs. I have all the Whippet ones they did so far.
    Its hard to see the top rabbit plate on the left, but it was a "find" on eBay. Two rabbits crouched in snowy woods. Its from 1920! One of the others is 1964. I think I have all the blue plate rabbits made, tho I keep watching for others. (I couldn't find plate frames for the smaller rabbit ones unfortunately.)

    No, that little bird won't fit under that cloche, but I found a tiny teddy bear that will! I just need a little ribbon for his neck, then I can add him and some tiny misc.
    I had hoped to check out Big Lots today but my body wouldn't co-operate. Maybe tomorrow I can go. My daughter is planning to take off Thurs afternoon and take me to Home Goods. YAY...I'm going no matter what my leg says. LOL.

    hugs, Karen
