Truly, madly, deeply in love with glass dome cloches right now.

1. A close-fitting woman's hat with a bell-like shape.
2. A usually bell-shaped cover, used chiefly to protect plants from frost.
From Old French: bell

They are absolutely divine and can be used in a variety of decorative ways. To me, glass dome cloches offer a gracefully refined look. A way that brings all of your lovely details together to give it a more polished appearance, or if you may, becomes the "cherry on top of your sundae".

Yes, a glass cloche is traditionally used to cover garden plants from frost, but we as creatives relish in the fact that objects can be used in many ways. Just like an apothecary jar or cake stand, a cloche is very versatile. Use them to display desserts, cheese, memorabilia, tiny trinkets, flowers, clocks, statement props, jewelry, terrariums, books, stack of cups, shells... the list is endless :)

Things I Love | Oversized Balloons

Balloons are a great accessory for decorative purposes and to brighten anyone's day. Oversized balloons are all the craze these days -- used as photo props, in lieu of bouquets, tablescape decor, to show you the way to the main event or even as an elegant backdrop. These globular, 36" spheres offer a more sophisticated look while adding height to your decorated space. For a truly chic touch and to add a lot of visual impact, opt for a few oversized balloons rather than a hundred regular sized, party balloons.

Here are a few creative uses for this inexpensive prop:
