Ahhh...My lovely friend Marty at "A Stroll Thru Life" decided to have a Cloche Party...and I decided to join in! Please be sure to drop by Marty's place to visit all the other bloggers sharing their favorite Cloche designs!Bonjour, I'm ~Madame ~Allie, and I will be your hostess today at ~CC's Parisian Cloche Party!
It's all about ~CC's favorite French collection...note the French bill used as a book marker within the cloche? Her Papa brought that back from World War II. ~CC decided to use this Cloche to hold some of her favorite French books. Surrounding the cloche are some more French theme items that she's collected over the years. Notice the teency candle to the left of the cloche? This candle was a gift from her sister Becky...the lid to it sits in the French Tea Cup that ~CC picked up when she visited Dijon, France.

Changing it up a bit...I turned the French Tea Cup upside down on the saucer and used it as a candle holder...the French box behind the cloche is a lovely design by Kris, from Tresbelle's creations. I situated all the other French items around the Cloche.
A Parisian Lighted Cloche...you can't leave the cloche on long or it steams inside. :) But, isn't it cute just for a sneak peek?
Well...it's Madame ~Allie saying ~AuRevoir...

Oh love this idea with the books under the cloche. Very nice!!
Hi Catherine, How beautiful your displays using your pretty tall cloche. I love the books inside and upside down cup with tea light. I have this same cloche and you have inspired me to redesign with it. Sweet Madame Allie has been a fabulous host. What a fun party.
Thank you for sharing your talents with everyone for all things French.
It is always so inspiring to visit you sweet friend.
Your talents encourage me!
Blessings always,
Celestina Marie

OH my gosh she looks so sweet! Oh. . . sorry, we are supposed to be looking at the cloche - OH YEAH!
What a great idea to put something like books in one! I'm going to officially steal your idea (sorry). It's just too cute.
BIG HUGS!
Your Madame is so darling in her pink bow and your use of cloche is inspiring. I don't have any so I'm thoroughly enjoying seeing everyone's...
How pretty Catherine! :)
I have seen everything in a cloche tonight. What beautiful ideas you have shown us.
Your doggie is beyond the cutest!
Madame Allie doesn't look happy (say that sentence with a french accent it's pretty funny).
You really need to come and visit. You would go crazy in Montreal CC. Love your French theme.
I couldn't sleep. Thinking of P.J. going into surgery this morning : (
I sit down, and I have all these dots where "someone" had fun catching up on my blog...you silly billy you.
I'm thinking of that book idea. You think, and market...but we both are sellers. lol
Love you bunches
Love Claudie

You have such a nice touch when it comes to decorating, gal!!
Have a lovely Friday!

Hi CC,
This is so pretty and a treasure with your Dad's bill used as that book marker. That little dog is such a scene stealer too! Thank-you for the tea invitation! That is so wonderful and I will let you know if we get to my friends home! thanks again CC, hugs, Cindy
Hi Catherine...
Ahhh...what lovely cloche vignettes you have designed! I loved them all...so many great ideas! I love the look of the old french books under the cloche! That's a great idea...and has such a nostalgic ambiance to it! Madame Allie is certainly precious...and she did a fab job of showing us your pretties!!! Thanks Allie...and thank you, Catherine!!!
Just wanted to let you know that I sure enjoyed your beatuiful note that you left for me on my button cloche vignette...you're just the sweetest!!! Thanks Darlin'!
Warmest wishes,
Chari

Catherine, Great Cloche, but I will take the little dog.....thanks for sharing today.

Your vignette w/the books under the cloche is exquisite! You've used all the right touches to make it pop yet stay elegant. :-) SUe
I think Madame Allie was a wee-bit bored at the cloche party... I hope you took her out for a wee-walk afterward...
it's amazing all the ways you can display in a cloche... I have one, but didn't participate because I was too lazy... perhaps I should have???
have a beautiful weekend...
Love all of them but the one with the books got me!!!! Gorgeous. Cute little pup!!!
Barb
Sweet Catherine,
Your cloche display is just my type of style and I love everything about it! Your pup is too adorable what an absolute doll! Cathy
Your adorable Pup stole the show:) Your displays are wonderful and I love the book under the cloche. Good job. Are you signing up for the Atlanta Blog cooking class? I hope to see you there because it sounds like so much fun and I would like to see you again.
Joyce
Oh my goodness what a sweet puppy. She was such a gracious hostess, too.
The book under the cloche is brilliant. Your whole Frenchy-vignette is just darling. I love the part about where the franc came from. How sweet.
Thank you for stopping by my bloggy and leaving such a sweet comment. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. ~Barb

Thanks for the tour, Allie! ;)
So cute! I love the books inside!
Pretty cloches and DARLING dog!

CC... thanks for your comment on my iced tea post... as I was taking the photos and typing the post.. I kept thinking... "I can't believe I doing an entire post about a glass of sweet tea.. I guess you can make just about anything interesting if you really want to...
have a wonderful weekend!
hugs. Dixie
CC, Love the idea of the books in the cloche. You've inspired me. I have several really old books that I think are small enough to put under my cloche. You are so clever. I love all of your French treasures! laurie
Love the books inside, Love the French narrative!
The book looks so cute under a cloche!
Catherine...you are always so creative...love all the cute ideas...the book was my favorite, I think. :-) Susan
your puppy is so cute :)
I enjoyed seeing your displays! Madame Allie is precious!
Katherine
It's nice to visit again. Summer always keeps everyone busy. We went to Jubilee Day on Thursday and then camping over the weekend. I'm going to Root's market on Tuesday.
I like how you are using your treasured little books inside the cloche. The light is very unusual.
Catherine, great job on the cloches! Loved seeing how you arranged things. :-)
XO,
Sheila
Love the book under there. Your little yorkie is adorable.
bless...shell
I love cloches & yours is stunning with the sweet vignette inside. That pup is just too sweet for words, too!!
Hugs,

Firt of all Madame Allie is a cutie with her little bow!! Very nice little French collection. Some of the simple things are sometimes our most favorite! Very lovely cloche! If you get a chance stop by my blog. I didn't have a cloche...but I somehow managed to participate! I am happy to say that since then I have found a cute one to share at a later date! It was a fun party by Marty!! Huggy Hugs!
Just stopping by to let you know I'm thinking of you, and I'm still praying for you and your family. laurie
