Last week I chanced to have the opportunity to visit one of my favorite shops that had moved locations to a nearby town... I hadnt seen Platagenant Rose for about a year and when I was passing by last week, Lynn let me stop in for just a minute.... and there it was this gorgeous cloche!
It was love at first sight.... The fleur-de-lis details charmed me.But what on earth could I possible use it for.... I perused my treasures and there they were.. the bells Lynn sent from France just about this time of year back in 1970. He had recently arrived in Germany for his tour of duty and I was a Junior in college.. He went on a weekend excursion with some friends to Verdun... and bought two bells. One for me and one for his mother... Mine had the cross and the other was for his dear mom... she passed away soon after receiving the bell... A friend we met when we lived in Germany after we were married gave us the Limoges egg.. Three very fitting items to show off my lovely new cloche!.
I also love my bronze candelabra.... it reminds me of a menorah except it has more candle lights. I find it very fitting to use between Hanukkah and Christmas..and it lends it's Olde World charm to this vignette!
Oh your cloche is stunning. I love the gorgeous detail on the base and the fleur de lis on the top is so pretty. The bells are such precious keepsakes and I love the egg. I have two and they are always so special. Beautiful vignette and such a love candleholder too. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
