Marty at A Stroll Thru Life is having a Cloche Party!
Cloche is French for bell. Which makes a lot of sense as the dictionary defines it as:
| 1. | a woman’s close-fitting hat with a deep, bell-shaped crown and often a narrow, turned-down brim. |
| 2. | a bell-shaped glass cover placed over a plant to protect it from frost and to force its growth. |
| 3. | a bell-shaped metal or glass cover placed over a plate to keep food warm or fresh. |
Now-a-days… you can put just about anything under a cloche… and make one cute decoration! I have seen lots of birds nests and birds… which is so, so adorable!
The only thing I have that even resembles a cloche is a glass cake stand… so I hope this qualifies for the party!
When I don’t have a fresh pie or baked goody in my cloche cake stand… I like to put some freshly baked (wink, wink) felt donuts inside. I’m quite a fan of crafty felt creations… and there is no mistaking my love affair with donuts.
So I figured, felt never spoils, always looks presentable and is a great substitute for a really baked goody!






















Okay you just gave me a great idea for Father's day. I'm going to go out early on Sunday and buy his favorite donut to put under my glass dome!! Happy cloche party to you… :0)
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. YOur felt donuts are the cutest things I have ever seen. What a fun thing to have. They look fabulous under your cake dome and I would probably leave them there all the time and eat the real one. Great inspiration. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty

great display..now I am hungry for a real doughnut!
How cute are those darned donuts! Never seen anything like that before. I only had one cloche, and haven't had that very long. So I know just what you mean. I'm really motivated by that cake stand with felt donuts. Hey, real inspiration here! Thanks!

I was drooling over the donuts, totally amazed that you made them and then you announce they're felt! FUN!!! I have a covered cake stand- forgot about it because this rental has ants that can make it into brand new bottles of Karo syrup!
LOL, I think it's so cute that you have felt donuts under your cake stand! That's very creative!
