I'd been looking for one for some time, but the few I found were huge... and expensive.
Determined to find a cloche, I headed out again to a local decor outlet.
Well, it must have been my day because not only did I find a cloche, but two little birds as well.
Browsing through the shop I saw this pair of little green birds, all by themselves, just waiting for me.
Of course, I had to have them. They are so cute... and green is my favorite color.
I was lucky...and surprised, because the cloche just fit on the pedestal base I had gotten from HL a couple of months ago.
I wanted to photograph in the living room, but even though you can see the detail on this bird, the color of the walls seemed too dark so I decided to use the entry hall instead.
I added a hydrangea blossom and a piece of fern from the garden...
It was a "cloche call" :) but I found one just in time, and I'm happy to be joining Marty's Summer Cloche party.
See y'all there.

Beautiful cloche. They are so wonderful.
Babs,
It was destiny! So glad you were able to join in the party! Adore your green birds...especially when perched on Nell Hill's Feather Your Nest book! I'll be watching to see other creative ideas for your cloche, as well!

Your etched cloche is stunning and the pedestal you have it on is fabulous. So pretty. I love the display with the birds. Very, very pretty. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty
Babs, you scored big my friend. Your cloche is gorgeous, I wouldn't have passed up the birds either. I would love to go shopping with you.. hugs ~lynne~
Babs, you certainly found a beautiful cloche. Your vignette is gorgeous. You are indeed talented when it comes to pulling interesting items together. I'd love to visit your home. ~ Sarah
Babs,
We finished the entertainment unit on Saturday! It has several new elements and others are arranged totally different than before. I'll be posting on MM in the near future! A bit "under the weather" at the moment!Thanks for asking and for the inspiration to make needed changes...it's been nine years. A fresher look was certainly in order!
Fondly,
Pat
Hi Babs,
I adore your cloche! I don't have an etched glass cloche and I would really like to find one someday as they are my absolute favourite! Love your little birdies too and I too love the colour green. You did a splendid job. Thank you for sharing and for your visit. Wishing you a delightful week.
Blessings,
Sandi
Your cloche is just beautiful. I've haven't come across an etched one and would love to have one. Just became your newest follower...would love for you to stop by!

Not a bird in a cage but a bird in a cloche -- the birds are so cute!!! I, too, think birds belong in a cloche!
Haha!
Love your little joke there, Babs.
:)
You found a great one, can't believe it didn't come with the base, and..... those birdies are just too sweet.
Lovin' it all!
Such an elegant cloche. The birds are perfect. You will be able to do so many things with it when the holidays roll in. Love the base you put with it. I never buy one b/c I never see them w/ a base and have no idea what to put w/ them. I need to take you along with me.
What a lovely display of cloches and birds. Very elegant displays. Love them! Love, FABBY
Hi Babs...
Oooh...what a beautiful cloche! I love the pretty etchings in the glass...GORGEOUS! It looks perfect on the pretty base that you found at HL too! Oh, and I love birds! Your pair of green birds are sooo sweet! Oh yes, I would have swept up those little sweeties in a heartbeat! So happy for you...that you found a cloche and the birds, my friend! You created such beautiful vignettes with them! I so enjoyed your photos!
Warmest summery wishes,
Chari

I'm so glad you found this stunning cloche and joined Marty's party ... cause the vignette you created is amazingly beautiful... I love how the wall color look so gorgeous against the beautiful cloche and the pretty green birdies... beautiful vignette! I loved it! The etched dome of the cloche and that pretty base are my favorite. Thanks for sharing with us! Have a lovely evening!~Poppy

I've never seen an etched cloche...really lovely and of course I love birds of any color. :o) Well done and what luck about the base. That kind of thing hardly ever happens to me! Try to stay cool...
What an adorable cloche and the birds are too cute! Beautiful vignette! I did not know about the B&B. I lived in Washington DC for 5 years and went out to the surrounding areas quite a bit, but managed to miss so many things!
Love your new etched cloche, Babs. It looks so nice sitting on the column base with that pretty bird inside of it. You did a wonderful job with the vignette- the orchid, the silver tray, the greenery... Now you'll have to be on the lookout for even more cloches. They are addictive to decorate! :-)

Babs, your cloche is gorgeous! I love the base...so pretty! and your little birds add the perfect touch! Baby Kitty is so excited that the wild bunch is coming to his birthday party! They will fit right in. Our little Isabella will take good care of them and introduce them around since she is a wild child herself!...hugs...Debbie
I adore the simplicity of them all.
Lovely, indeed!
DOn't forget to join Marty's and my giveaways. You can win cuties and 2 surprise gifts.
Happy TTT.

And it's such a beautiful one, too. And your birds...love how you placed them. I bought that Feather Your Nest book for my mother. Just perfect with your tablescape.
I love the birds and your cloches is one of the prettiest I've seen.

Your cloche and vignette is very pretty. I love your cloche base...Christine
Lovely, great job on your "cloche call!" My cloches are just plain and don't have that wonderful etching on them.
You sure found a pretty cloche, and I love those birds. How perfectly the cloche fits on the base you already had. Lovely vignette. laurie
