Marty at A Stroll Thru Life is Having a Cloche Party. Click the link to go see what other bloggers are displaying in their cloches.
This was purchased at Ross on the clearance shelf. It was missing the post. When I was given the sales receipt, I saw that it was identified as a cupcake holder. I set it on a post I had to give it the elevation.
Inside is a candle in the ceramic container with lid. I think it is cupcakeish.
This is a cheese dome I got at a thrift shop. I place it on a glass plate I already have. I am displaying a fake bird nest.
Do apothecary jars count? A little salt for a base and a sea shell.
I have only had these for a few months, so I have not had the opportunity to change it out seasonally.
Here are some photos I found on the internet that have inspired me.

I think you were MOST inventive gluing a glass knob onto the dome! Putting that ornamental candle holder under the lid is cute- and yes, it does look like a cupcake! The most special is the single shell in the sand. :-) Sue
Very nice! I'm on the lookout for a more bell shaped cloche. This party is fun...so many great ideas...
All of these are beautiful!!
Now that is really creative to glue the know onto the top of the dome. Really clever. I love all of your displays. The little cupcake holder with the little ornamental candle is so cute and the one single shell is stunning. Love it. Birdnests are always such fun to look at. Your pics from the internet are great too, but I really like yours. Thanks so much for participating. Love it. Hugs, Marty
I love that tall cloche stand!
Karen, Long time no chat! I love your cloches! You did a very nice job finding unique ones...and each one has a story behind it. Those are my favorites...with stories! :) ~CC Catherine PS: The Gorilla Glue share was really something new for me, I didn't know that was possible. I would have never known it didn't come like that! GREAT SHARE! :)
Great cloche photos! I have that cupcake dome from Ross it was so funny because I went to Ross specifically looking for a dome and then voila lol.
All the best,
Allison
I've seen those anniversary clock holders at sales -- didn't think outside the box that it was really a cloche -- great idea. All of your cloches are great.
Your cloches are all so cute! I like the idea of the crystal handle, so ingenious and it is so pretty. I also like the pictures your picked up from other places. And my favorite is the cupcake holder, so unique....Christine
Be-autiful clothes and pictures - soooo many ideas! Linda
I love your creativity. Now I am in search of glass knobs! Thanks for all the ideas.
Charla
So many pretty ideas. I also have a couple of cheese domes and a cake dome I did not even use. Thanks for sharing.

Very beautiful cloches Karen!
I really like the simple shell and the sand. ~Lovely. :)
Hello! You are clever!!!! I never would've thought to glue on the knob. Hmmmm . . . I have an old anniversary clock that doesn't work any more . . .
I've loved visiting your blog. All your pictures were just wonderful!
And I am now officially on the lookout now for a cupcake dome! Too cute!
Great job! Karen
I like that you made a cloche out of an old anniversary clock cover. I was thinking about doing the same thing. And I love the inspiration photos you shared.
Wow love your pedastal cloche ! Really good eye for changing things..isn't it fun ?
Hugs ~ Kammy
I just love the one seashell under glass. Great ideas you have given us on how to think out of the box. Have a super great weekend. ~ Lynn

Hi Karen...
My friend, I loved your innovative ideas! Love that pretty crystal knob that you added to the glass dome...gorgeous! And I just love your tall, stately cloche...love that you lifted it up on a pole!!! You've decorated each just beautifully! I love that you can just put something simple under glass and it makes it so elegant!!! Girl, I just adore that pretty little watering can candleholder...it's darling and I thought it looked so pretty under the cloche! Thanks for sharing other great ideas...I can't wait to decorate mine for Christmas!!!
Thank you so much for coming by and leaving me such a sweet, sweet note and I sure do appreciate you joining in to follow my blog...such an honor!!! I am also adding your blog to my list...looking forward to getting to know you, my friend!!!

Thanks for all the inspiration. I have to get some more cloches.
Charlotte
You are so creative!
I noticed the notched knob right off the bat on the first dome and was really impressed when I read you had added that--very clever!! The cheese ball clothe is darling with the little nest and shiny eggs. All of your cloches were lovely....just as wonderful as your "inspiration" photos. Dana
Love your ideas! Cloches are Divine!!!!!!!!!!!!
love, kelee
pretty :)
I enjoyed seeing all your displays. Love the crystal knob glued on!
Katherine
Very smart to glue the ball on the dome.... I like the groupings of themed cloches. I didn't join the party, but I am being inspired to change mine out a bit as I view everyones photos.
I love this, Karen! Loved seeing all of the interesting things in each cloche, and I agree with Sue, you were inventive gluing the knob on the dome! I love your inspiration photos in addition to what you've done. Neat!
xo,
Sheila :-)
