Cloche Party

It's finally here, the "Cloche Party" over at

"A Stroll Thru Life".

Be sure to stop by Marty's and see all the

goodies you will find there.

Well I have to tell, I'm working by the

seat of my pants again. I have fretted,

arranged, rearranged, took everything

apart and I'm still not happy with

anything I came up with, sooo.

When it's cold and when I'm stressed,

I bake. So everything tonight will relate

to food! I have such admiration for

each and everyone of you that

participate in the cloche party. Everything

you put together just looks soooo great.

I don't know if I will ever accomplish what

you girls do.

So here we go

Yelp, remember my silly cloches I made last

summer from wire trash baskets?

Here they are covering my fresh made buns

and the cream cheese to spread on them.

I set up a little brunch table with tea, my

rooster cloches, fresh butter, cream cheese

using a black and red color scheme.

Sorry for the bad pictures, I just couldn't get

the light right.

He's festive, see the wreath he is wearing?

Fresh butter under this little dome.

My centerpiece is a table top tree I

decorated years ago for one of my garden

club Christmas parties. We were having a contest

and the rules were, we could only use

recycled items. So flying by the seat of my

pants one night after work, I grabbed

this three and started to decorate it

with my kids small toys. I tied them on

with raffia, and the bows are made from

a skirt that belonged to my older daughter.

I even got in my keepsake goodies box out and

got a couple of my baby things out.

FIRST PLACE!!!

One of the few times, let me say!!!

OK, this one was from yesterday, as most

of you know. This was part of my center

piece and it held gifts for my guest. The gifts were wrapped in silver paper

to coordinate with my tablescape.

How about desert, served in little cloches?

Apple green and red!!!!!This little beauty is filled with apples and

red ornaments from the Christmas tree.

Maybe the star of the buffet table??

So no matter what the occasion, a buffet

table set in reds and greens or....

or a sit down dinner....

desert for two, or.......

Bunch, just make it special and enjoy the

ones your with.

I hope I didn't bore you to much and that

you enjoyed you visit.

Everyone have a safe and blessed weekend.

See you Monday at Susan's.

Bye For Now,

Sandy
