It's Cloche Party Time! Please go check out Marty at A Stroll Thru Life
and check out all of the other partyers showing off their cloches!
I'm still in extreme cloche-envy mode, as I have yet to find an exquisite cloche at a reasonable (really cheap) price. So, in order to participate, I have dug out my cake dome which sits on a wooden pedestal. My father made the pedestal in his high school wood-shop class 80 years ago.

I have a small collection of miniature doll house furniture from the 1960s and from my childhood. A cloche is perfect to cover these little gems. I have a hard enough time keeping my regular house dusted without cleaning a pretend house.
What do you suppose the queen of this kitchen is cooking this Fall day? Looks to me like it must be a Pumpkin Crunch Pie.
Now, go check out Marty's blog to see what else is cooking under a cloche today.

Wow, that is amazing, those little miniatures are adorable and really realistic! It is hard to find nice cloches, I got lucky a couple times but I rarely ever see them, and the ones you find online are pretty expensive. I got a really nice one at a local nursery for $20!
That is absolutely adorable! Cute, cute, cute!

Oh what fun you must have had putting your little kitchen together. It is so charming!!! I have a few miniatures that I used to display in my printer's tray. I just may have to have a little fun myself with this idea!
This is adorable..makes me ready for fall...and baking...
Hi Sally! Oh, only you would think to put something this darling under glass! What a great idea! I love your little treasures! :)
Be a sweetie,

Your arrangements are so pretty. I love what you have done for the cloche party! Small furniture~toooo cute!
I love miniatures. What a cute idea, that I would never have thought of! I'm one of those big kids who can gaze at the miniature dioramas in museums for hours! Hope you'll visit with me, too.
The miniatures under the cloche are charming and unique! I love that idea!
I'm so glad to have found you via Marty's Cloche Party... see you again soon!
This is a first! I really love how you have exhibited your miniatures under the glass top on your treasured cake tray. Just adorable. Now about that recipe for Pumpkin Crunch Pie ~ hint hint...

Oh my gosh, Sally! I absolutely love it!!
Envy no more! You've come up with the most delightful cloche ever.
Oh, this is soooo sweet. I truly love it!
Barb :-)
Sweet!!!! Love it!
Oh! This is so precious! How nice to have something your father made so long ago. I love the comment on cleaning house. It is the truth!! When my daughters were young they had those plastic kitchen pieces (their size) and I always ended up cleaning their sink!
Great cloche and post! :-)
