A CLOCHE is a CLOCHE not a CLOCK

Last night I was checking out Craig's List and Kijiji because I'm always checking for furniture - and lo & behold, what to my wondering eyes should appear?

A Cloche - placed in the furniture section by accident -

Suzan says - John could you pick up something for me next time you're out
John says - Sure - what?
Suzan says - something I found on Craigs list
John says - Uh Uh - NO WAY - the van is packed the rafters - I can't move in it - sorry NO
Suzan says - it's not very big - it's just a little cloche
John says - a what?
Suzan says - A CLOCHE
John says - what the hell do you need a clock for?
Suzan says - No - it's a cloche
John says - Well you can call it a cloche if you want - it's just french for CLOCK
Suzan says - IT'S NOT A CLOCK !!!!!!!!!!!!
Suzan says - A cloche is a cloche - not a clock...................

Here's a photo of it

John says - UGGGHHH - that's the ugliest thing
John says - why do you need a stand to keep fruit in - we have all kinds of fruit bowls
John says - with his head up against the screen - God is that UGLY
Suzan says - The seller's using it for fruit - I want to put little Christmas trees in it next Christmas
John looks at me much the way you look at someone you love who you've finally realized has lost their mind
seriously, he has a look of pity on his face............
Suzan says -DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT
Suzan says - You really don't have any imagination, do you?
John shakes his head -
John says - I wouldn't dare tell you where my imagination is taking me now..................
John says - You're taking that Christmas in July thing a little too far now.
John says - I've been watching it happen for a long time - but it's happened - you've lost your mind completely
John says - They're not dollhouses- they're to put fruit in - or cakes

Suzan says - If you pick up the cloche for me - I'll make a big chocolate cake to put inside of it
John sighs - So where exactly is this Schloche?
Suzan says - IT'S A CLOCHE - what's so difficult about that word?

He was gone 2 hours - the phone rings

Suzan says - Hello?
John says - THE GPS HAS ME GOING IN CIRCLES HERE - I CAN'T FIND THE BLOODY PLACE
WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU SENT ME?
Suzan says - Calm down John you ju-----------------------
John interupts - I'M ON MY WAY HOME - I'VE HAD IT - YOU'VE SENT ME ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE FOR A BLOODY  - CLOCK - CAKE PLATE - FRUIT STAND - WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT TO CALL IT - YOU'RE TOO MUCH SUZAN - I'M COMING HOME NOW -  click
Suzan says to a dead line - it's a cloche............

and a half hour later I hear the back door open -
John yells - YOUR BLOODY FRUIT BOWL IS HERE - AND IT'S EVEN UGLIER IN PERSON
Suzan says - John thanks soooo much - I love it - I know how hot it is out and I really do apprea-----------
Johns - yeah - yeah - what's for supper - I'm starving
Suzan says - Do you think you could go to the grocery store?

'cause if he thinks I'm turning the stove on let alone baking a cake in this heat - he's the one who's lost his mind..............
I LIE................doesn't he know that by now?

AND THIS IS TOO FUNNY - the woman included the fruit - ( which I find disgusting for some reason )

While he was at the grocery store I did this quickly -

It's a CLOCK IN A CLOCHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know it's really a cake plate............but for now and ever more it WILL be referred to as a cloche,
capishe?
As in - " It all started with a cloche your honor "

I just realized how dirty the dome is - here it is all washed up and shiny!

Have a wonderful Thursday all - I have a huge make over for tomorrow!

Much love,
