I WANTED TO INCLUDE A COLOR INSPIRATION

PICKED UP AT THE THRIFT STORE 

FOR $5.00

AND IN HONOR OF AUTUMN I WANT

TO CALL HER MISS GOURD. YES,

I NAME MY FURNITURE PIECES. THE PAINT

I PICKED REMINDED ME OF THE

PRETTY LIGHT GREEN GOURD COLOR. 

 

HERE IS MISS GOURD

WHEN I FOUND HER..

A LITTLE WORN AND DIRTY, OTHERWISE

THE WICKER WAS IN GREAT SHAPE...

ADD A LITTLE OF MY INSPRIRATIONAL

COLOR AND A BEAUTIFUL PUMPKIN
SOME CUTE GOURDS,

AND SHAZAM !

HOPE YOU LIKE MY FIRST PROJECT

OF THE FALL SEASON. I LOVED TAKING
ALL THE PICTURES OF THE BEAUTIFUL
GOURDS, THEY REALLY ARE
BEAUTIFUL!

LETS HEAR IT FOR THE GOURDS!

YOU HOLD THE KEY TO MY CLOCHE

THIS IS MY SECOND CLOCHE. AFTER I DID MY FIRST ONE

I SEARCHED THROUGH MY KITCHEN AS I THOUGHT

I HAD BOUGHT ONE A LONG TIME AGO..

SO THIS IS WHAT I FOUND

ITS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER ONE THAT I DID

IT IS MUCH LARGER AND HAS A WOODEN KNOB ON TOP OF THE

GLASS DOME. THE CANDLESTICK WAS A PAIR TO THE FIRST CLOCHE I DID THAT I ALREADY HAD.

I PAINTED IT A SIMILAR COLOR BUT NOT THE SAME COLOR. AND I PAINTED AN UNDERCOAT OF A MUSTARD YELLOW

SO WHEN I DISTRESSED IT YOU WOULD SEE SOME OF THAT COLOR COME THROUGH. IT TURNED OUT A LITTLE BRIGHTER THAN THE FIRST CLOCHE I DID. IM VERY HAPPY WITH IT.

HERE SHE IS

+

I HOPE YOU LIKE HER!!!

IF I COULD SAVE TIME IN A CLOCHE

IVE BEEN SEEING ALOT OF THESE CUTE LITTLE DISPLAYS IN

BLOGVILLE. NEVER KNEW THAT THEY ARE CALLED A CLOCHE..

LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY.

I HAD TO HAVE ONE.

cloche  

–noun a bell-shaped metal or glass cover placed over a plate or stand.

i went to my favorite thrift store and stumbled across this for $2.98

WHEN I GOT HOME I REMEMBERED I HAD THIS CANDLESTICK THAT I ALMOST GAVE AWAY.

USED GORILLA GLUE TO FASTEN THE TWO TOGETHER

 SO A LITTLE PRIMER, PAINT, STAIN, LUCK AND ABOUT 15 MIN LATER

I HAVE ANOTHER CANDLESTICK THE SAME AS

THIS ONE MAYBE ILL GET LUCKY ONE MORE TIME.
