A cloche, a cloche, my kingdom for a cloche

It  seems like everyone and their mother found the exact same cheese dome this weekend.  I stumbled upon mine after forgetting that i was even looking for one, isn't that always the way?  In the past i found plastic ones and reeeeaaallly heavy ones, too heavy i thought to put on a candlestick.  But this one was just right...I feel like i'm talking about Goldilocks.

Underneath was the price, 3 dollars, and this stamp.  I almost felt bad about painting it, but i got over that quickly!

Testing out the fit on my wood candlestick that has been waiting all this time to be repurposed.  A perfect fit.  Now I'm talking like Cinderella.

I was going to paint it white, b/c why not paint everything white, but then i remembered this spraypaint i got at Home Depot on clearance.  Metallic Finish.  I figured it would be easy to change it to white if i didn't like this.  I must give props to Rustoleum, this paint went on smooth and super easy.

Ain't she sweet? And metallicy bright?

Trying out different options and places.  She'd look good on my hall table...

She'd look extra fine in my dining room with those colors, especially filled with pinecones for the fall.  They just happened to be shoved in the closet, so why not test that theory out?

The possibilities are endless! I am happy to say that i am now officially a member of the cloche club.  And they all lived happily ever after.  The end.
