My friend Jackie in the UK encouraged me to participate in Cloche Friday hosted by Marty at A Stroll thru Life. The theme is wintery but alas I am in Florida and really don’t have a winter theme (although it has been cold).
When I first started blogging, I did so to remember and honor. My grandmother was a treasure. She loved her home and her family. She was a widow for many years but never stopped going or learning until she became ill. I have many of her belongings and decided to “cloche” some of them.
The bisque figurine was hers and I found it stored in a garage! The jewelry was hers as well – sort of mishmash but again treasured. The little girl in the jeweled frame is me holding an apple from her garden.
Stroll over to Marti’s and see the other cloche creations.

Hi Carol
It is lovely to protect your personal treasures of your grandmother under the cloche. That jewellery must have a few stories to tell. The photograph of her in the frame must be so special to you, thank you for sharing. Jackie.
Jackie,
That adorable little girl in the picture frame is me in her garden! Thank you so much for coming by!

LOVE your pic holding an apple from her garden, such touching and fitting way to remember your grandmother... I've done a memory cloche too, but didn't post it this time! Lezlee

Oh, Carol, this is really sweet. Isn't it wonderful how small things can bring back the ones we love? I imagine that you look at these things and remember them in your grandmother's house. Now they're in yours!
That is so sweet! All your heirlooms look lovely together and you were just a cutie patootie, now weren't you!
What a lovely memory vignette!
Hi Carol, this is so pretty....so delicate and sweet.

just got my first cloche and need to know what to put under...er...in it. i like your idea of honoring someone!
Carol, I loved what you did with your garden cloche. I have old jewelry from my mother, grandmother, and great grandmothher. You have certainly given me some ideas. Your post was so very inspirational. And thank you for visiting my blog. I haven't been blogging much lately because I have been having computer problems that are now resolved. I will visit your lovely blog more often.
