Love, love, love cloches...why are they so hard to find in Aus...or am I just looking in all the wrong places???
I have seen a couple but they are far too expensive...
Maybe I'll just grow my own!!!!!!!!!!
Have a lovely Sunday

Kym, I am so 'with you' on this one! I love cloches too and bee skips for that matter, but they are so difficult to find here and when you do they are so expensive!!! Hmm maybe a business opportunity waiting to be pounced on? Love your gorgeous pictures, thank you for sharing and if I ever find any reasonably priced ones on my travels I will be sure to let you know:) Hope you are having a wonderful weekend ~ Tina xx
ReplyDeleteKym Im hearing you , had the same thoughts. Whenever I have seen them it has always been $80-$120 & if I am going to have a garden of them well you do the maths. Love your post , you are more & more clever every day.

Hi Kym. I have to agree with you and the other girls, they are hard to come by here! I've got only two - one I found on eBay (love it...it's an antique aged silver cake stand with a glass cheese dome on top though it looks perfect) and one was a gift I would never have payed for myself (it's a grey wire one with a fleur-de-lis on top). I think a good alternative is attaching plates or disks to candle sticks and finding cheap glass cheese domes in dollar stores!

HI Kym, I love them too. I did see a couple at out local Mitre 10, of all places. Generally though they are quite pricey.
ReplyDeleteTell me about it! The closest I've got are a cake plate with glass domw cover and a cheese dome.
ReplyDeleteIf you ask me, the person in the last picture is just being greedy...share the love I say!

Hi Kym, they arent actually too hard to find if you do the rounds of the op shops. I do come across them reasonably often in that they are usually for something else ie. the glass dome off the top of a cheese board. they dont cost much either. Actually i found a great one yesterday that was originally a candle holder, will have to do a blog post on it soon!

Reasonably priced ones at Provincial Home Living stores and my favourite shop, The Works in Hawthorn..Rachaelxx
ReplyDeleteHi Kym,

Kym,
ReplyDeleteTHANK-YOU for your visit and beautiful comment on my Stationary re-styling art to it.
I love cloches as well, I had far to many and started to sell them off in my small shop, big regrets :( I thought I could replace them and found out the market shows so many but they are hard to find now!! I aquired all mine in the 80's and 90's i have about five left that I will not let loose of :)
Will be back to take in some inspiration over here!

Hi Kym, thanks for your comments and joining my blog! Try having a look at Bed, bath and Table... Also, I have seen them in French & English... but not sure if that is in NSW? Anyway, good luck finding them..
ReplyDeleteI love cloches too! I found one in David Jones when they had 20% off their glassware! Yay!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for a great weekend,
Natasha.
Thank you ladies. I will certainly be looking more closely for what I can adapt to make a cloche and I think a trip to The Works might be in the plan...Take care X
ReplyDeleteThank-You Kym!
