All of us who are hosting the
Egg-xellent Spring Party
would like to say a big, hearty
Welcome!
I am very egg-xited to get this event started,
and I can’t wait to see what everyone has in store.
Marty at A Stroll Thru Life is our first hostess with
A Spring-Inspired Cloche Party.
Thanks, Marty!
If you remember about a week or so ago, I shared
my version of a Terrarium.
I called it my “Inside-Out Terrarium.”
You can see the full story HERE.
My little Target birds felt right at home nestled within
the greenery and moss.
My original thinking was that I could put the entire
planting under a large cloche. But, not only did it
look awkward, it looked like I had literally
squished everything under a glass dome.
Uh Oh! Plan B.
What? There is NO Plan B?
But I need to get my blog post written and published
TONIGHT! How about Plan C? D? Okay, I’ll
settle for Plan E, F or G.
I threw on my Home Shopping Cape and off I went.
I found a darling little Bunny rabbit salt and pepper shaker
sitting in a cute ceramic basket. hmmm…..
I have some leftover Dollar Store Eggs. Check.
Small cloche. Check, Check.
Well that’s cute!
I think this just might work.
What if I took the bunnies out and just nestled them
amongst the moss and eggs?
Egggggcellent!
Look at those sweet little darlings.
I appropriately named them Harriet and Henry O’Hare.
I tucked in a blossom or two from my Spring bouquet…
and then a Cloche Project isn’t complete
without the CLOCHE, huh?
without the CLOCHE, huh?
Suddenly, I had a cute “Bunnies Under Glass” Cloche.
I think some of my favorite projects are the ones
where I can “Upcycle.”
where I can “Upcycle.”
I will probably use this on my breakfast room table
as a centerpiece. I love the way it turned out.
The same items are on the blue-painted chest,
such as the little white teapot…
But, now this Inside-Out Terrarium is fresh and new
thanks to Harriet and Henry O’Hare.
Please “hop” on over to
A Stroll Thru Life, and join Marty for her
Spring Cloche Party.
This Thursday, please join
Shirley at Housepitality Designs for a
Spring Tablescape Party.

Barb that is too stinkin’ cute! I love it…it looks like you paid tons of money to have it put together!!
View CommentKathy @ Creative Home Expressions says
Very creative of you, Barb! I love that cloche incorporated into this arrangement. It makes it so much more interesting to see the bunnies tucked in there under the cloche. Great idea!
View CommentShirley@Housepitality Designs says
That is one beautiful and creative cloche…You so rocked it!..The bunnies make a very cute couple…
View CommentThe Other Me Is Sane says
so pretty. I think that turned out better than the regular cloche concept and I’m going to try doing it with a future tablescape. thanks for the inspiration.

View Comment♥ Sonny ♥ says
thats so pretty and SWEET looking.
love those bunnies.
I bought some speckled eggs last year and put them away for safe keeping. Now, they are safe from even me cause I cant find them.
hopefully I can get something on my mantle my the 20th and if not I’ll just enjoy what other folks post..
Now, what I need YOU to do is your Spring porch- so I can copy/cat that before Deb has her arpil party..:) No pressure of course lol lol…
thanks for your visit and your comment as well as the advice you gave about leaving it together and using as a nite stand. Hopefully I’ll run across that pic you said you saw.. thanks again..

I just love it, Barb! The whole arrangement is so lush. I agree with Ceekay – it looks like an arrangement that you paid a fortune to have made. Great job!
View CommentLauren @ My Wonderfully Made says
Those little bunnies are just TOO TOO cute! I love how this is all perched on that cake stand (?) — the ivy ties it all together and you have a lovely display!

What a unique way to incorporate a cloche within a greenery arrangement, Barb! Henry and Harriet look right at home in there. Wanted to say thanks for your very sweet comment on my cloches. Putting them together was a bit last minute this afternoon- I’m always late -just like that rabbit in Alice in Wonderland! haha
