Love Letters, Pearls and Ribbon
Recently I was walking through Hobby Lobby and spied the prettiest wooden pedestal. It was a bit pricey, even with a coupon, but I just KNEW it would fit the large glass cloche I had made several years ago perfectly. So, into the cart, it went.

Kathy had used rolled up wrapping paper to decorate her cloche. I ... View the Post
