egg-cited to join in.
I thought this little cloche was cute when I bought it, but it's so skinny...
...it's a challenge getting things tucked inside...
...but I managed to squeeze a few Grape Hyacinths (muscari) into a real egg shell, and hot-glued the shell to the plate.
A bit of reindeer moss is tucked around the edges, to hide the glue.
Y'all are probably tired of seeing the foyer, but on cloudy, overcast days, it's one of the few places in the house I can get a half-way decent photo...and that's with the door open.
Are you all ready for a Spring Party?
Let's go to A Stroll Thru Life for Marty's Egg-xellent Spring Cloche Party on March 13th.

Very sweet! I have those little chicks too! Got them years ago just I love them.Thanks for sharing your lovely post. JoAnn
Babs, it's darling. Still haven't found a cloche for my scales. Love the grape hyacinth. I saw them at the store this week and wanted to bring some home. I need to read and see how they might do planted in the garden. Love the little blooms. ~ sarah
So pretty with the grape hyacinths. Cute idea to put them in an eggshell.

That vignette is so cute! You have a lot of nice pieces to play with, and you always have such interesting arrangements.
I just finished Mary Kay Andrews book,Summer Rental, which takes place on Nag's Head. Fun read.
I absolutely love the hyacinths in the real egg shell. Very original, indeed! And, what a pop of color!
Pretty spring vignette...I just noticed my hyacinth have started blossoming...love the sweet smell of them!
Yes, it is hard to get things tucked in those cloche's! love your little chick.
I love the purple of the muscari with the yellow chick. I never tire of seeing your creative displays! This is one of my favorites, I wish I still had some muscari in bloom. Mine are waning.
This is just darling, Babs! Different size cloches can be difficult. I love seeing your table in the foyer, you always have it decorated so nicely!
XO,
Jane
Gorgeous cloche vignette, Babs. I love how it is arranged on the tray.
I'm not tired of seeing the foyer because you always come up with pretty, interesting ways to decorate it!
The egg shell planter is just the cutest idea. Love the flowers and so pretty under your cloche. Beautiful vignette. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty
I love your pretty springy vignette! Our grape hyacinths haven't bloomed yet-enjoy:@)
That was so clever to use hot glue to secure your egg shell like that. I love the idea of using an egg shell to plant a flower in for Easter. So cute!
Have you ever heard of museum putty??? It is WONDERFUL, it will make things stick like glue but then you can remove it! I use it all the time. Your whole vignette looks beautiful. Love the muscari in the real egg shell! Love it all. XO, Pinky
Too darn cute! I need to find some of those really small ones! It is hard to get things up underneath isn't it! The grape hyacinths are adorable growing in the egg shell! How cute! Love the little chick and egg! I never noticed your white marble (or alabaster) lamp before! It's beautiful! Liz
I love the pop of purple, that is one pretty vignette!
You certainly managed to find a way around the skinny size, and it couldn't be cuter. I love the eggshell planter. LOVE it. I understand what you mean about lighting in a particular space in your home. I have those areas too. :) Thanks for joining our Egg-xellent Party kickoff, hope to see you at some of the others. Blessings, Barb
Babs love that cloche and the pretty display you have under it! Very cleaver hot gluing the egg shell to the plate!
Babs, just a beautiful display! The grape hyacinth is such a pretty little bloom. Cute little chickie too.
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Hi Babs, What a beautiful header! The chick and eggs are so sweet, the grape hyacinth is one of my favorites. Such sweet vignettes for spring.
Happy St. Patrick's Day to you.

Love the different size of your cloche. It's darling with the hyacinth in the egg.
Babs,
Your cloche is very spring and sweet. Love it.

Your springtime cloche is so adorable! I love the little chick egg holder. I look forward to my Hyacinths blooming this year.
Love your cloche, the tray and the chick figurine.
Beautiful vignette and cloche..I am getting so many wonderful cloche ideas from this party!
Babs,
Your vignette is beautiful. I love the hyacinths inside the cloche.
Hope your week is wonderful.
Glad you were able to smush your grape hyacinth into the cloche, Babs, because it looks darling. I always have to play around with those domes, because they're either too tall or not wide enough on the bottom! LOL
Very sweet vignette in your tray. :-)
That is so very pretty! The grape hyacinths are beautiful and I love how you used the egg as a vase.
Oh my gosh, that is adorable, Babs! I love that little cloche! I think you did a great a job filling it.
I really love it, and I think it's perfect on the tray. I pinned this!

Babs, thanks so much for your visit and your comments. Yes.. my Dad was always told he looked like Gene Kelly as well as the Irish tenor who was on Lawrence Welk. lol

Darling sweet little chick egg cup. Richard from My Old Historic House.
Just precious, Babs. Totally cute.

I adore the grape hyacinths under glass. You can stuff a lot in a cloche.
What a sweet vignette! I love your cute little chickies. Your cloche looks fab with the hyacinth!
Don't forget to link to the party!
Hugs,

Great vignette, and love the hyacinth in the real egg shell, that a pretty nifty idea that I'll have to remember. Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog and leaving a message.
I just love your little cloche with the tiny grape hyacinths in the egg cup. It is lovely! So sweet it makes me wish I had one just like it :)
Fun stopping by to visit with you!
Kindly, Lorraine
Hi Babs....love the tiny cloche....but I really love that little chicken egg holder...so cute!
Hi Babs,
thank you for your visit and your sweet comment. Your found just the right decoration for this special cloche and I love how you decorated the Muscaris. It looks so natural and charming. You have a special talent for decoration. I like the view on your foyer. I know how difficult it is to get good photos indoor.
Best greetings, Johanna
Hi Babs,
Love your little cloche vignette with the eggs and little chick egg holder. I have a bunch of those that I love to bring out at Easter. Looking forward to sharing Tartan Day with you! ~Delores
Babs,
With the Mother Board dying...I didn't make it to the party...I'm just now getting to see your lovely entry! The purple really pops against the green! I adore your entry and never tire of seeing what's new!
Fondly,
Pat
