Blogging Cloches At The Goodwill Cafe


My internet has been intermittent to none since Saturday evening.
 I have spent the past what feels like tens hours, but was really one, at the Verizon store getting it sorted out. The efficient young lady is having my portable internet devise shipped overnight to me. CC and I are computing at our Goodwill Cafe while drinking some delicious coffee drink swathed in whipped cream. This works out really well for me as I can blog then shop in the GoodBooks store and  in the large Goodwill store. We have a luxury Goodwill as you can see and they are currently building a hospitality training center next to it.
 
In the midst of having no connection and seven hours of gardening yesterday
 I did snap some quick cloche images. 
I removed the milk glass and placed some sacred objects in the cloches.
 
 




We will not be able stay here for a sustained amount of time and I may not be
 able to visit with you my friends.

Marty does cloches better than just about anyone and I could not miss her party.

joy and peace

  9. Olive, your cloches are so different and I LOVE them! They're just perfect to showcase your beautiful religious figures. I love the shape of your cloches and their bases, too. I really need to look for some plain/smooth sided ones to use. And did you say luxury GW?? OMGosh... I'm on my way to see you. :) I didn't know there was such a thing. Hope your internet probs are sorted out now.

  20. Hi Olive, when our power goes out around here (which happens more often than you would think, given that we are a NYC suburb) we head to the public library where anyone in town can use the wireless internet. It's slow but at least it's something! I enjoyed seeing your cloches! Linda

  25. Olive, I would never have thought to use religious statues under glass. How very charming and unique! Gee, as a kid I can remember them sitting out on many of the tabletops. There is such a serenity to your white ones. Very pretty.....
