I did a DIY cloche on a stand project that I created out of 2 items I picked up from the Goodwill while we were in Missouri and wanted to show you how it looked before and after. Let me just say the Goodwill prices in Missouri were seriously about 5 times better than here. 
I got both items for 99 cents each.
I am posting to these parties:
The DIY showoff
Met Monday
The base started off looking like this:
We were up at one of the farm properties, on my husband’s side of the family and I grabbed all kinds of twigs and berries, whatever I found, to use, since my funkins and decor were all in Florida. I did get some paint and began working on it.
When I got home I did some more painting and and added my oil rubbed bronze paint, then set it all up and took some more pictures
I like the way it came out. What do you think?
I also bought another larger glass piece for $1.49, that I am working on for another project to show you, gals.

Im so glad you got to be here in the Midwest to see the leaves..I agree that this year they were fabulous! I just couldn't get enough of them! We'll all be moving in with you for the winter though! 🙂 Thanks for sharing all your creative ideas with us…we learn so much from you!
Wow, all the knock-offs are great! I have so many ideas running around in my head right now, I just with I had the time to go along with them!
Cheri, THANK YOU for featuring me and the name correction, I sure appreciate it! You have some amazing knockoff here! I have the featured button on my blog now.
Oh I really enjoyed Tinker armed and dangerous! LOL We had the same thing this year but my niece didn't notice that her brothers were armed. She is only 14 mths and was more in love with her new clicky shoes! Loved you tree pics!
Hugs, Lisa
Wow, so much eye candy and I love it all. I especially love your new little cloche that you created. Thanks for all the inspiration. Hugs, Marty
I have to agree with NM. I do believe that was the longest post that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. 🙂
I am not sure what I enjoyed more: your Tinkerbell with a weapon or the amazing pics of the fall foliage. If we are going on the cuteness factor, your baby girl wins…hands down!
LOVED the costume pictures. My little (3yr old) tinkerbell shoots machine guns and drives a john deer tractor! 😉 GREAT information today. Hooray for tutorials and knock offs! As always, your blog is just packed with great info. Thanks for taking the time to share with all of us 🙂
