Coffee Table Cloches for Summer

(I now return you back to summer after
 accidentally reposting ~ Christmas Counters)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm displaying a few of my shell-finds under 
large cloches on the coffee table in the family room.
I'm using the straw plate chargers as the base.
 I'm thinking Tommy Bahama. 
I found these large conch shells on beach vacations.
I displayed one shell on a votive stand.  
I saved the stand after I broke the votive.
I found the shell ball at Marshalls.
A pillar candle is nestled in shells in a
 glass hurricane. 
That's the only kind of hurricane we like here in
 South Florida!
It gives a nice glow in the evening while we watch  TV.
Cheers!
Rita

    Hi Rita! I love your vignette. I just knew that was a candle stand. What a great idea. I love the way you used the plate chargers too. It's so summery! I've saved it to my idea file :) Have a great week.

    Lovely shell cloche vignette! I learned from this post not to ever get rid of something that may come in handy someday. Thanks for the tip!

    Rita, I agree that's the best kind of hurricane. ;-)
    Lovely vignettes with your cloches. Great idea to use the chargers.

    I love that you used shells in your cloches! Using the rattan chargers as bases really adds a lot to the whole look; great idea.

    The whole vignette is just stunning!

    Well, we thought alike using the shells. The chargers...now that is clever!
