Miss Mustard Seed’s Wuslu Pick of the Month & a Giveaway

One thing I have thoroughly enjoyed about blogging is meeting amazing, resourceful and creative women who have started their own businesses.  I have met some all-around awesome entrepreneurs.  One that I had the pleasure of meeting last week was Yasmin (and her sister, Nadia) of Wuslu.  We met for dinner in Frederick, MD and I was fascinated to learn their story.  I’m going to share it with you one day, because it’s so inspiring.  At dinner, we kicked around a bunch of ideas and one thing we came up with was Miss Mustard Seed’s pick of the month. 

If you’re not familiar with Wuslu, it’s an online home decor shop that offers only one item each day.  Because the item is bought in a high volume, it’s less expensive and the savings are passed on to you.  Brilliant, right?  So, each day they have a hand picked item up for sale and when it’s sold out, it’s sold out.  Once a month, I will personally select an item that I love with all my heart and is very “Miss Mustard Seed” and it will be Wuslu’s deal of the day.  I had a great time shopping for it this month and here is what I selected…

It’s a small metal pedestal with a glass cloche.  If you want something to look important, you put it on a pedestal or under glass.  In this case, you can do both. 

This petite pedestal is perfect for a cupcake or stack of cookies, but I didn’t have any fresh baked goods hanging around my house, so I used them to hold zinc place cards.  (Charlene is Mini Mustard Seed and she was helping me with the shoot.)

I also invited myself to the party.  It is my house after all. 
This is a great piece to show off a small bird’s nest, pine cone, mini pumpkin, small pears and apples and the list goes on.  This piece is pretty, versatile and that’s why it’s my Wuslu pick of the month. 
If you’d like to purchase your own, visit Wuslu.com before they sell out! 
Wait…that’s not all.  You have a chance to win one!  Actually THREE of you have a chance to win one.  Simply leave a comment on this post letting me know what you would put under that cute little cloche.  If you are one of the lucky winners and have already purchased one (or more) from Wuslu today, a full refund for one pedestal/cloche set will be issued back to you.  
The giveaway closes at 10:00 am EST on Saturday, September 3, 2011 and is open to those living in the lower 48 states of the US only. Make sure you leave an e-mail address in your comment if one isn’t available on your profile.  The winners will be randomly chosen and announced on Sunday. 
Keep an eye on Wuslu for other great deals each day.  Monday through Thursday of next week will feature Found Items and, trust me, you won’t want to miss those.  I saw what the Wuslu girls picked out for you and it’s some great stuff. 
Good luck and happy shopping!

  7. I love Wuslu – ever since you featured them with the bamboo rug!!

    I think – oh I hate decisions – that I would put small seasonal items in it on my dining room built – in

    Thanks for the opportunity!

  8. Oh goodness what a sweet give-away! Well let's see…I have a small white pumpkin from my garden that might fit in there or maybe my sweet little English Robin that my sister sent me from Harrods in London. I'm not sure what I'd choose but it would be fun trying different things. THANK YOU for the opportunity to join your lovely give-away! Have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!
    Maura 🙂

  9. Hi MMS! I'm so excited to see this was on WUSLU today because it led me to the discovery of your site! I've recently inherited a black and tan buffet and I think a few orange/brown leaves under a little white or orange pumpkin would look absolutely adorable under that cloche! It would be the first item added to the fall display for the new piece of furniture and I'm excited just thinking about all the possibilities for christmas and spring! Thank you! mjw@mchsi.com

  11. I would use it seasonally first: dried hydrangea, a mini pumpkin and for Christmas a little tree. Or I would put a beautiful cupcake for my wonderful husband. So many uses.It's so cute! Gotta have it.Thanks for all beautiful give aways you are the best.

  15. I would change the decor under this adorable cloche seasonally…with fall almost upon us, I'd put a mini pumpking under the glass! LOVE this product!!

  16. So many things to do with this adorable cloche stand. Photos, cookies after school, presents, special shells collected…. the elf may even hide in there during christmastime! you never know where that rascal is hiding, after all 🙂
    I'm a total WUSLU addict. I order almost every day (shhhh). Yasmin is an amazing woman! Love her and the entire Wuslu team. If anyone wonders if they should sign up or not- do it!!!!!! it costs nothing and you'll find things offered you'll love. Plus it's always fun getting packages in the mail 🙂

  21. I, too, will use it on my mantel and feature different items in it. I can see me putting photos and all sorts of things in there. I have always wanted one of these; and since it is my Birthday today, I decided to take advantage of this great deal! I can't wait to see what other items you will choose in the future for Wuslu. What a wonderful honor. Congratulations on your partnership. 🙂 familybringsjoy@gmail.com

  25. this is so great! so many ideas. maybe if you set a table, there could be caramel apples decorated with different cute toppings sitting in each one as a dessert! each guest could just sit it to the side during dinner and then lift and have dessert when ready! would look so cute!
    jspades@suddenlink.net

  26. I have that same exact bird's nest so I would use it for that or on the console table by our front door to place the deadbolt key in it so it won't keep getting lost.

  27. Oh boy..i ordered this before I realized it was your pic of the month. All it took for me was the photo. It just reinforced my theory that we have similar taste..hehe. I have a beautiful handmade silk rose that will look just perfect under glass. Thanks for the great choice.

  33. What a great pick! I'd put something seasonal in it and keep it on my newly purchased (at goodwill for $30) thomasville sideboard. Oh, and you've got a new follower in me, MMS 🙂

  35. SO cute. My initial thought was a chunky resin letter in a fabulous font (currently biding its time in a closet), but the possibilities boggle the mind! What a great item! – rwviall (at ) sbcglobal.net

  36. Wow- thanks for telling me about this site. Love it!!! I would put a little picture, or a mini pumpkins this fall…or a little after school treat for my girls… I am having a giveaway too so come on over!

  38. I would use it in our master bathroom, with some 'manly' items (razor, brush) or in our living room with seasonal decorations…it's hard to decide! (jgoetz5ATgmailDOTcom)

  39. Love this new partnership!
    Can't wait to put some fall decor under that glass, small pumpkins, fall leaves, hmmm

  46. I love this stand. Good choice! I would put some blue robin egg shaped soaps in it. It would look so cool in my bathroom!Thanks for the giveaway!

  47. My mom passed away recently. I would display a small framed picture of her with my dad made in 1935 before they married. And place their wedding rings in front of the picture. Then place it on the buffet. fejeff@aol.com

  49. Since Christmas is coming, I have a vintage glittered bird that would look lovely under that glass!

  51. Eleven years ago, our first Labrador Retriever died at 14 years of age. Shortly after his death, there was a storm and I found a small bird's nest lined with Sam's fur just outside our home. I have been trying to think of a way to display the nest and honor Sam's memory…and this is PERFECT!

    sixmilestewarts@bellsouth.net

  52. I would change it seasonally with a pumpkin or and ornament, etc. I like the idea of a small picture frame of the family too. So cute, I just bought one!

  54. It would be a great way to display the things my children gather when we go hiking…leaves, stones, pinecones, shells etc.

  55. I love this and could think of a lot of ways to use it for every season…. but for starters since fall is almost here I will put a few leaves down with these cool acorns I have on it and put it on my kitchen island where I can see it all of the time!
    mrdjoakes@cox.net

  59. I would use it to highlight a variety vintage goodies I have found over the years. I love the idea because it can be changed out so easily!

  61. With fall just around the corner, I would love to put one of my Snow Village people from their fall line..raking leaves, with pumpkins, then surround with a gathering of fall items…acorns, leaves…

  63. Ohhhhhh! How adorable! What to put under it? I think my Grandma's (Gigi) gold locket with photos of my father and my grandfather would be lovely!

    Yup, that's how I would honor the pretty display.

    Smiles from Suzanne in NW Illinois

  66. Yeah my two favorite things are together..you & Wuslu!!!…this is so adorable….I would put my tiny paper butterflies along with an old matchbox underneath it!……fingers are now crossed:)
    sweetgirlexpressions.blogspot.com

  72. Right off, I was thinking that all my small bobbins of colorful bakery twine would nearly fill that cloche and flip over onto the pedestal to look happy and cheery…

  77. I like this item for it's versatility. I would use it for birds' nests in the Spring and to display my favorite giant pears in the Fall. Thanks so much for the opportunity to receive one! Have a great holiday weekend. 🙂

  78. I think I might change out whats under the cloche by season-apple for September, giant spider for October, mini pumpkin for November etc. It would be fun to win. A great price too.

  81. Oh dear, these are adorable! I usually drool over the items on wuslu, but today I got sucked in, in about 3 seconds and ordered two! I would put a mini scene with deer and glitter at Christmas, and right now, green and blue eggs from my chickens, Hazel and Edith in an abandoned nest! Too cute!!
    susanpagels@comcast.net

  83. Ooo ~ I love me some cloche! The possibilities are endless, but I think I might start out with it in the bathroom with some really pretty, small decorative soaps. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!

  89. I would leave one delicious cookie under it at all times. What a special treat for whoever finds it! Then I would replace it with another cookie for the next person! Small joys make life special!

  90. my baby girl is potty training… what a great way to keep her "go" treats super cute in the bathroom!

  92. Thanks for introducing us wuslu. I've never checked it out before, so that's where I'll head next! I think I would put a… well, actually, I don't know. But it would be Granny Smith green or a turquoise/aqua color, since those colors are happening in my living space!

  93. WOW! I love cloches! I would put a doughnut in it! I love doughnuts and only allow myself one every couple of weeks.( I would eat dozens of them if they were in my kitchen)So,I could enjoy looking at it on my table for a while…then chow down! After that, I guess I would put something seasonal under it, until my next trip to the grocery store for my doughnut!
    Thanks for the chance to win!
    Wanda

  98. I love this little cloche! I think it would look great with a seasonal display – right now my mind is on autumn and I'm thinking that a few little gourds nested on a bed of leaves would be beautiful. Thanks for the giveaway!

  99. Love Love Love this! I would put an antique skeleton key under the cloche and display it on our dining room table as a reminder to my children that they hold the key to their future!

  100. Your photo with the nest is my inspiration. 🙂
    I would put a little nest in it in my bird inspired entryway – thanks for the chance to win 🙂
    arasband at hotmail dot com

  101. It would be so fun (and easy) to change that display everyday. The bird's nest one day, bird the next, then a perfect red apple, pretty stone, love note, … the ideas are endless! Have a great day, everyone and a special thanks to Miss Mustard Seed and Miss Mini MS as well!
    Mary (merrymntnmom@yahoo.com)

  102. Chocolate truffles!
    When not in use for indulgent desserts, then maybe something whimsical for that particular month … this month with Labor Day weekend, maybe a red bandana to symbolize Rosie the Riveter .

  105. I would put a small antique clay pot filled with moss and a few handmade paper flowers in the cloche and place it on the new shelf my fabulous husband just built me. ricechrisp52{at}yahoo{dot}com

  107. I have a collection of ceramic ornaments that was hand painted by my now deceased grandmother when I was little as part of my annual Christmas gifts. They aren't overtly Christmasy and I have always wanted to find a special way to display them. This will be perfect!

  110. Thanks for the chance. I have visited their site frequently but never in time things are always sold out. I have so many ideas it is hard to pick just one..

  111. I would put a delicate plant, like a maiden hair fern there. how sweet!
    ander660 (at) gmail (dot) com

  113. I have ordered a few items from Wuslu and absolutely love them! I adore this little cloche – I would use it to display special seasonal items like a mini pumpkin, a beautiful Christmas ornament, etc.

  114. This is just too cute, and I just Love WUSLU!! Geesch I have so many things I could put in their but I think one of my Mini Hand Painted China Teacup & Saucers would call it home!!

    Thank~You!!
    Nancy

  118. With Fall around the corner, I would use it as a centerpiece on my table with pumpkins and other Fall things. Then, I would change it according to the season.

  119. I'd put a lovely piece of coral, some sand and a bit of lace, I think. A reminder of the summer and the beach and my favorite things.

  120. I am going to use it as part of my market show display… i'm going to display one of my small soldered jewlery pieces in it… i'm thinking my domino necklace! So cute!!! =)

  121. How an awesome giveaway! I would change it with the seasons, for spring a bird's nest with eggs, for summer may be fruit, for fall pumpkins of course and for Christmas a santa!
    Thank you Marian!

  122. This October will mark the 1 year anniversary of my lovely LuLu's death. The stand and cloche would be the perfect place to display her collar and my favorite photo of her. A fitting tribute to a dear friend…

    petra@maynespeaker.com

  123. You introduced me to Wuslu when you were featuring your rug…love that btw…I love the cloche..I think I would go with the seasons..rustic leaves and small pumpkins or/and apples for Fall, sparkle with vintage ornaments for Winter or grouping of little snowmen, bird nests for Spring, and Seashells with green moss for Summer…love it! Thanks again, Linda at lilydily.blogspot.com

  125. This is SO adorable! Since it's so close to Autumn, I'd put a small pumpkin gourd and a Maple leaf in it to welcome in the new season.

  132. Off the top of my head, I'd put a tiny chicken figurine that belonged to my late mother-in-law and a brown egg that's bigger than the porcelin chicken – I think it would be whimsical & draw attention to the little hen, which I remember sitting on her windowsill.

  136. What an awesome giveaway as I was just pinning glass cloches on pinterest today. I will have to check out Wuslu for Christmas gifts as it will be here soon. Have a great holiday weekend.

  139. I would put a little heart-shaped rock that sits on my bookshelf. I found it on the first Mother's Day after my mom's death while walking on the beach. Actually, my daughter found it and gave it to me.

  140. I have a little white ceramic cow who I LOVE… I would put him on that pedistal if I won 🙂 It'd probably change periodically, but right now I'm in love with my little cow!
    sromansk@umich.edu

  141. Hello Marian,

    I have a very small needlefelted ornament that I bought from a friend in the Cotswolds, England. It would look lovely under the glass.

    Thanks for the giveaway offer.

    Good Luck to the sisters!

    Janet xox

  144. Oh my goodness, how adorable! There are so many things I think I could put under it, a tiny succulent plant, skeleton keys in a tiny bowl, starfish….oh the thoughts go on and on.

    Tami

  148. Lots of decor ideas running through my brain, but in addition I really think it would be awesome to use it as an after-school snack holder! My boys could only have the featured "snack-of-the-day" after they put away shoes/backpack/lunch pails & give me their folders. What fabulous, fun motivation that would be & it would be a great way to keep the goodies fresh, out of lil' sis hands, away from errant flies & keep possible complaints to a minimum (pretzels on a pedestal & under glass? oh, yeah.)…all in a beautiful way. Something for them, something for me, totally love it!
    cannej@yahoo.com

  149. I would put a different snack (apple, cookies, peach, cupcake) in it everyday for my son when he got home from school, it would be something for him to look for as he came in the door from a log day of learning.

    Hugs,
    Melissa

  153. I love this cloche! I am a bit of a cloche fanatic (my husband would argue with the "bit" part, lol) but I don't have one on a tall stand like that. I would put this on my kitchen counter with a stack of homemade cookies under the cloche. Hope I win, hope I win! 🙂

  156. I would put in a tad of shredded sheet music and my favorite Hummel girl figurine going for a walk with her basket.
    Jan

  157. Wow-what a clever idea to offer one great product per day 🙂 It makes you want to go there every day just to see what it is-clever marketing too. Love the display stand with cloche. So many possibilities of what to put in it-I like the idea of a butterfly or an old photograph. Thank you for the opportunity.

  158. LOVE this pedestal with the glass cloche! So fun! Let's see, if I put it in my bathroom I'd put an organic looking soap, or depending on how tall the cloche is, a stack of smaller ones. If it was in my dining room or kitchen I'd put a single lemon or artichoke… something like that. 🙂 I know you didn't ask for various options… couldn't decide! 🙂 (christiemsweet@yahoo.com)

  160. I have a small photo in a frame of my grandfather on a rockinghorse when he was a baby. I would put his photo and his old baby spoons and fork in there, its very sentimental to me and deserves to be on a pedestal! 😉 emilymoshopoulos@gmail.com

  162. I see seasonal displays. Summer would hold my tiny starfish, Fall will display a little white pumpkin, Christmas small Christmas trees. Oh the list is endless.
    Thanks for the opportunity to win a great prize
    Vanessa Bower
    vbower@kc.rr.com

  166. It would have to be an autumn arrangement of leaves and nuts and maybe a tiny squirrel figurine! Then there would be Halloween….

  169. I would use it to display seasonal items as well. A pumpkin with leaves for Fall, s snowy scene complete with little snowmen for Winter, a birds nest for Spring, Decorated eggs for Easter,…..well you get the idea. I really hope I win. I always enter but never seem to win. Sorta like always a bridesmaid never a bride….lol

  170. That cloche is too adorable. Thank you MMS (and Wuslu) for this sweet giveaway! I'd probably try a dozen things before deciding on one. I'd love to cover a small box with lace or a doily and set my antique locket on top….and add some dried flowers on the side. sigh

    Thanks again,
    Edwina
    eworban@gmail.com

  172. How adorable! I love handmade bears and I have a very tiny, jointed bear that I would love to show
    on this lovely pedestal…
    Many thanks to you!

  173. We have several antiques from my husband's family; a pill box and his baby spoon, for example. I think one of those would look even more beautiful under glass.

  174. Definitely the heart shaped rock that my son found for me on the beach~

    Melanie

    mi3ragamuffins at aol dot com

  175. Wow so many things could be put under that beautiful cloche. Maybe a fresh cupcake or a picture of a lovely grandchild. Or maybe one of my vintage bride and grooms. Wow too many choices. Like Karel, I always enter, but never win. I do think though if I keep trying one of these days I may get lucky. Love all you do.

    vikkinay@yahoo.com

  176. Halloween is my favorite holiday and I'd put some glitter skulls and black spiders under it for a Halloween display.

    shel704 at aol dot com

  177. Wow – I love this! Please pick me to win! Similar to most of the others who've commented, I would do seasonal displays, like sea shells, pine cones, ornaments, etc., interspersed with personal items such as antique photos and railroad watches.

  178. i just love this! i think i would change it up with the seasons…i see at Christmastime to have maybe a sweet angel in a bed of "snow"…in the fall, a small white pumpkin in a bed of leaves, etc. how fun that would be!!!! please pick meeee!!!

  180. My toddler LOVES raisins, so I would keep a little bowl of them on the pedestal on the kitchen counter.

    He would get excited seeing them waiting for him to finish his dinner, and I would get excited having them displayed so elegantly!

    (tsyscowgirl@yahoo.com)

  182. I would use it in my piano studio to feature the composer or theme of the week in an especially creative way. You're right, it would give it prominence and intrigue for my students!

  183. I would use it for seasonal/monthly decor! September would be mini books, October would be a creepy spider, November a mini pumpkin, and December mini presents!

  184. Love this totally and love this shop as well… I am so tickled that I found it (via you…thank you very much) and recently made a purchase of one of those cool industrial lights (what a great deal it was indeed!!)… would love a chance to win this, and think a mini cupcake would be so yummy under the glass… thanks for the chance to win!

  185. Very cute! I wish I had a brilliant idea of what I might put underneath one if I won, but I think I'd borrow some of these very good ideas from so many of these creative ladies. I love the little chalkboard idea…and I would use words of encouragement, like "Hope" and "Strength". I love the tiny bowl idea, and I would put tiny sea shells or colorful marbles. Love this giveaway!

  187. I'm not sure… maybe some baked goods, or a cute antique book. I'd have to play around with it and find a good spot for it. Thanks for this great giveaway!

  188. I would definitely change it out often with the seasons & holidays, but I would place a small frame with a picture of my daughter in it for sure! Thanks for offering the giveaway & having such an awesome blog!

  190. I love Wuslu, in fact I just bought their deal of the day yesterday!!!

    I love you bird's nest idea so I might do that!

    BTW, I love your blog and have learned a lot from all of your blogging and furniture refinishing! I know you hear it all the time, but you are an inspiration! I see furniture at garage sales in a totally different way now. 🙂

  191. I'd put a broken pearl necklace strand under the glass. Lovely giveaway. Thanks for the chance.

  192. Since it is my favorite season, Autumn, I would bake some delicious cookies with Resses Pieces in them (you know, the yellow, orange, and brown pieces?!?!) and put those under the cloche. After the cookies are all gone, I'd put a small painted pumpkin (most likely a lace/doily pattern painted on it) under there with some fall leaves and maybe even some glitter. On Halloween night, a skull would probably look pretty cool at the door for the trick or treaters to see! Hahaha

  193. You have great taste, Marian! (And I'm betting you loved Frederick as well!)

    I'd start w/ a mini pumpkin…then a most fanciful ornament…then some chocolate hearts (for St. Valentine's Day)…etc.

    Love it!

  196. I would put a rose from the garden under the glass and when the rose dies, I would let my daughter put her miniatures that she makes out of clay.
    Thanks for the chance

  197. I think I would put this keepsake that is very special to me. I found an amazing glass slide of a man and a woman in a boat on a lake and I can stare at it for hours, daydreaming of being there.

  199. I hope this doesn't sound too bizarre, but I have saved my kids baby teeth (and extracted wisdom teeth). I would use the pearly whites to fill a tiny and delicate bird's nest.

  200. The possibilities are endless, seasonal items of course, but I have some blown glass pieces that were my mother's that could be highlighted and protected. How perfect? Thanks.
    ladyntsn at yahoo

  202. Very cute!!! I think I would put seasonal things in it, ever changing…as fall approaches a mini gourd and leaf display or a pile of acorns…
    bailjane(at)hotmail(dot)com

  209. EEEKKK !! i totally LOVE this and would love even more to win one! i would change it up all the time. mini pumpkins for halloween or thanksgiving
    mini Christmas trees or presents.. shamrocks oh my the list goes on and on! thanks for the chance miss mustard seed and wuslu!!
    scrappingjulie@gmail.com

  210. I would put an old black and white photo on the pedestal, or maybe a cute mini-white pumpkin in a bird's nest.

  211. I have a birds nest that held a little thrush's family this summer, after they had flown the nest I brought it inside. Since I am a mixed media artist I have been thinking of some different ways use it. This would be a great way to keep it safe and on display at the same time. Thanks for this giveaway!!!

  213. Oh, such a hard choice! I would probably put under the cloche a single piece of whatever fruit was seasonal. A pear. An apple. A tiny pumpkin. A pomegranate.

    What a fun idea! I can't wait to see what else you bring us!

  215. The cloche and stand are adorable. I would put a petite hand painted figure in it. The figure was meant to be used as part of a pincushion doll. This was made for me by a dear friend who is now deceased. It would be beautiful and memorable on display. Thanks for offering this give away.

    onebygoze@cox.net

  216. I would use the pedestal and cloche to display a glass glittered pumpkin for autumn,and a glass glittered skull for halloween. Thanks so much for another fabulous giveaway!

  217. I would put a delicious cupcake under it from this local bakery called Twisted since tomorrow is my birthday. Of course, it wouldn't stay there long….yum;) Thanks for the chance to win.
    pez9375(at)yahoo(d0t)com

  218. Miss Mustard Seed,

    Under the cloche I'd sit a cherished crystal elephant figurine … perfection!

    And under the cloche during the holidays I'd place an ornament that was given to me when I was born.

    Thanks
    Robin

  221. The first thing that popped into my head was my heart, for my family because I love them so much! After they weep joyful tears, we'd eat the cookies that would replace my heart…

  222. hmmm, I would probably put a sea shell under it. I love the beach and just got married on the beach this summer. A shell from that weekend would be perfert!

  224. I would use this as a centerpiece on my dining table and switch out the contents to fit the season or holiday. Since Halloween is on it's way I am sure a little pumpkin would go in there for that. And since my twin daughter's 3rd birthday is in a week I would put a 3 in there to commemorate! Oh, the possibilities are endless!!!!!!!!

    And what an amazing site!!!! I love daily deals!

  225. I think I would start with maybe a fall decor like a pumpkin or mini gourds and like that..Then maybe change it for the seasons maybe even edible decor like decorated cookies or fancy cupcake 🙂
    dwmarks33@comcast.net

  227. Oh, the possibilities of what could go under are so limitless. I think I'd start with something fall-ish before some quaint little Halloween items would be under that divine cloche.

  228. I would put my wishes in there, wishes for a cancer free life, a wish that my family would not be touched by this dreadful disease. Wishes to not have one more family member taken away from me including myself…
    arleem

  233. I really like this, and I would put something special in it. I have a darling little pitcher that would look so cute sitting on a pedestal.

  239. bite sized cookies sitting on the corner of the kitchen bar!

    or I can change out holiday stuff – pine cones, acorns, poinsettia petals, glass ornament, pile of candy hearts….

  241. So loving this! I was just at Lucketts today (for my Birthday) oogling your stuff! I would put my favorite itty bitty tea set in this cloche. 🙂

  242. I love Wuslu although I think we need a lesson on how to pronounce it! I would put a little ceramic bird in mine…but then how would it breath? hmmm

  244. I would put some fall decor like some leaves and acorns. And soon I'd replace that with little pumpkins or skulls for Halloween!

  245. A special seasonal item changed several times a year would look great under the cloche. Also, when a family member's birthday came around I would chose an item special to him/her..a photo, a drawing, a small gift!

  246. I saw the email from Wuslu this morning showing your pick of the day, it's adorable! Wuslu always offers a fabulous variety to pick from 🙂
    I would display a collection of wine corks that I have. The movers broke my apothecary jar during my last move and I need something to hold my corks!!

  250. This is such a cute item!! I would put seasonal items in it and put it on my mantel.

  252. I would change it with the seasons. A mini pumpkin for sure for fall and I have a small sparkly snowman that would be so cute sitting there for winter. I love it….hope I win! Thanks for the chance!

  254. I would use it on my kitchen counter and use it to decorate for the season. Pumpkins for fall. Shiny ornaments at Christmas,etc.

  256. I am in LOVE! I would use it to display one of my little ceramic birds, but the possibilities are endless! What an amazing site, I signed up for their daily emails, can't wait to see what other deals they have!

  258. Hi!
    I would place a mini white pumpkin for the Fall season, and something small and sparkly for the Christmas holidays. I'm sure I could find some cookies to hide in plain site the rest of the year 🙂

  260. I would have a beautiful Gigi's red velvet cupcake in mine! Of course, I would need 2 cupcakes….1 to eat and to gaze upon.

  267. I love this piece! I would use it in my kitchen to hold my chalk for my chalkboard. Or I might put a silver bowl with a seasonal item in it. There are so many ways to use it.

    Thank you!

  270. ooohh.. such possibilities.. for fall mini pumpkins… or green apples. Way too many possibilites for Christmas. Cupcakes for Valentines. My list can go on and on… They are AWESOME!!! I LOVE them! Thanks for the offer! kimlinton@comcast.net

  274. How neat is this? I've been watching the Wuslu deals this last week and I was so excited to see a MMS collab. Thanks for the opportunity to win. I would put a mini white pumpkin under it to prepare for the fall. It's so pretty!

  275. I would put my old pocket watch in it. The watch is so old and beautiful; the perfect thing to highlight in that sweet little pedestal cloche. Love it.

  276. I would put the tiny birthstone tree that my husband bought me for my first Christmas as a mom. Each branch of the beautiful little tree has several emeralds (my son's birthstone). It would look gorgeous under the cloche. Thanks for the giveaway!

  283. I would put acorns in the fall, a beatiful ornament for the holidays, a nest for spring and shells during the summer. Hope you had a great time in Frederick…that where I live. There are so many great places to eat and shop!

  284. An item each season would look great. Like MMS
    said a cupcake would look good on the table as part of a birthday celebration. It would make a nice gift for a friend. Linda

  286. I would use it in my foyer and change it up every season using a bowl of candy corn, mini corn stalks, mini christmas tree, or a star, etc. etc. oh so many ideas running thru my brain!

  288. how fun!!! I would put my little pewter animals I has when I was a kid. . they were once in a printer's shelf when I was a kid (everyone had a printer's shelf in the 80s) and I still have a few of my favorite little treasures. . I'd put them on that pedestal and put it in my bedroom. Oh I want one!!

  290. Thank you for the giveaway and for sharing yet another great design source. I think it would be fun to put different things under that little cloche, depending on the season: a pumpkin, an antique Christmas ornament, a photograph, or a heart-shaped rock.

  291. I would put a pretty pear in it this week, my ticket to Beth Moore this next week and maybe an artichoke the week after. I would change out special little gifts each week.

    Thank you for the giveaway!

  294. My family and I visted Sanibel Island in Florida four years ago and gathered some of the most beautiful shells. I would put a really special shell we found under there to always remind me of that special vacation.

    Jenny

  295. Love, love WUSLU. So many things to put under there. Shells…But I think I'd put one of my mercury glass birds under there to start.Thanks for sharing.

  296. OOhhhh… I see Fall pumpkins….or cute Christmas ornaments… Valentines…or Easter eggs…the list could just go on and on and on….Love your BLOG!!!…donnaself01@hotmail.com

  299. My 10yo daughter makes miniatures from found objects. This would make the perfect display for each new work of art.

  301. I would put a keepsake piece of jewelry that belonged to my Mother. Or perhaps her old white porcelain tea holder with a chain that is covered in tiny pink roses. So Sweet and so special……..

  302. I have some wonderful little placecard size easels. I would put one under the cloche with a favorite quote tacked to it. Maybe a few dried flower petals scattered at the base or a little sand with some tiny shells. I'm really looking forward to checking out other deals of the day.

  303. Two days ago, I wrote on your blog that I'm looking for a glass cloche and here you are giving three away!! I'm excited and would change the objects under the glass, nature things, pine cone, pretty leaf, acorns, anything that I pick up on my walks with Daisy, my dog.

  305. I think I would put it in my dining room and change what is under it with the seasons. Right now it would probably be an apple or pear and soon it would be a mini pumpkin. I love it so much.

  307. Oh this is so cute! I can see featuring a tiny pumpkin or gourd and acorns for fall and maybe a special ornament at Christmas, a snowman figure in January, vintage looking red ornaments for February and so on.

    I think they would look super at each place setting of a tablescape. Ahh, to dream.

  312. Probably something "seasonal"… like your nest and eggs for spring, shells in summer, tiny pumpkin in fall, ornament for holidays….

    Going to over to check this place out now 🙂

    ~Chris

  315. I love your blog and I love Wuslu too! What a great combo for us readers. I would probably be generic with a bird's nest in my dome but I loved bird decorating before it was cool. 🙂
    jamier76@gmail.com

  317. So pretty! I would most likely use it for a little pumpkin or gourd since Autumn will be here soon…then switch it out for Christmas, etc. But, I could also see myself showcasing a fun, little sweet treat (since I kinda love to bake).

  318. I made a pretty good sized brown organza ribbon flower that has a pretty vintage looking button in the center of it. It sits perfect for viewing and would look stunning under the glass of this pretty pedestal. I just love pedestals and I might even stencil a roman numeral clock face around the edge of the plate portion. I just can't leave well enough alone. ;^)

  321. When I travel I buy tiny little figurines of random things. They would look awesome under glass like this. It would look like a miniature travelogue!

  327. Getting ready to put out some small fall/Halloween items which would be perfect to display here!

  328. I would place 3 small white pumpkins all glittered up and stacked like a topiary set atop a bed of moss that dangles off the edge of the pedestal in some places. That would be for my Fall decor.

  330. I would change it up with the seasons or holidays! A pretty antique glass ornament at Christmas time, or a small pumpkin in the fall/Halloween season. I love the look of the small birds nest also!

  331. Hi Marion! Luv this sweet little cloche! I recently lost my favorite 12 y/o cat to the Rainbow Bridge and a blog friend sent me a small pair of white angel wings in remembrance of him. They would look sweet under that little cloche. ♥ Thanks for this darling giveaway!

    xoxo laurie

  333. I would put a little black and white photo of my kids under the cloche…then the next week I would find something else to put under there…a rotating minature art installation. Thank you for hosting the giveaway!
    Lori { woolflaxblog@yahoo.com }

  336. for me it would have to be a fabric heart my sister-in-law made in a crazy quilt style using fabrics with special family meaning.

    Great partnership!

  337. How about…
    a mini child's book, vintage bedazzaling brooch, baby Jesus in the manager, a tiny wrapped present, spool of thread w/needle & thimble& buttons, one of your glitter letters or a glittered mini pinecone, a piece of fudge w/walnut on top, stuffed baby booty, a compass, a single flower, a pocket watch, a miniture cow, a gorgeous cabinet knob, glass door knob, or a miniture silver salt and pepper…I could go on but I will be dreaming in my sleep. You inspire me everyday. Thanks!

  344. I would definitely put a little pumpkin under mine for fall and a beautiful Christmas ornament during Christmas and a valentine for Valentine's…you get the idea…I would use it all the time!

  346. what a great idea to do Miss Mustard Seed's pick! this is fabulous!!!

    I would totally put something pretty under that lovely glass. not sure what- but it would be gorgeous. because in a houseful of boys- you dont always get pretty 🙂

  351. I love vintage keys…I would tie a trio of vintage keys in twine and stash them in there with a clay tag that has an encryptions appropriate to the occasions.

  352. I would put a small pumpkin with some acorns for fall, something scary in there like a black raven or skeleton head for Halloween, ornaments for Christmas and on and on as the seasons change. julieheld at comcast dot net

  353. Hmmm…. so many things would look perfect in this. Definitely food! Snickerdoodles or petite brownies with a dusting of powdered sugar. Don't know how long they'd last, but then I could try something else 🙂

  356. what a great giveaway! i would use it for cookies. After the cookies are all gone i would use it to display one of my glass birds !
    blessings,
    aimee

  358. I have some great vintage keys that could sit on a bed of something fabulous….moss, leaves, possibly more thinking on that! 🙂 great giveaway and I love their site. Fell in love with the pig canvases.

    Murrgirl3 at yahoo dot com

  359. Wow, I love all the ideas in the comments above! I think a seasonal theme would be great, a pumpkin or some chestnuts. I also love the stack of cookies idea! cerissacowger at hotmail . com

  362. I think a seasonal item under there would be super cute by the entry way.
    I've wanted one of these forever and can't find one for a reasonable price… Hope I get this one!

  367. This would be perfect to change out with the holidays but, since I have a son ready to celebrate his 18th birthday, I'm thinking this would be a great presentation for an oversized cupcake.

  369. Oh, WOW, I am going to have to check her out! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I have a small faux mini cake that was given to me by a friend and it would fit PERFECTLY in this great cloche. I truly truly would love it!!!

    xxoo
    Marsha

  370. The possibilities are endless! I am unwilling to let go of summer, so maybe I would put a little stack of pretty starfish in there.

    adertien at comcast.net

  373. I would love to use this as a photo prop … one pretty cupcake with an embossed fondant topper…it would be great for promotions and then of course as decor in my house…I have a little miniature chair that would be adorable on it. LOVE it. Thanks for a great giveaway!

  374. I think I am getting into this contest by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin…anyway, I would put my bird's nest with eggs in it. That is so adorable!

  377. Oh my, what on earth could that precious pedestal and cloche be used for? My first thought was showing off my sons baby shoes (if they would fit). But than I thought my husband antique fishing reel. The possiblities are endless. Thank You MMS
    Gayle

  379. So cute! I wish I would have seen them when they were available. I would find a use for it everyday of the year! Christmas Eve I would let my kids put cookies for Santa in there.

  380. Oops, forgot to add my email. I would find a use for it every day of the year. Christmas Eve my kids would put cookies for Santa in there.
    mrsalf97@gmaildotcom

    Thanks a bunch,
    Shannon

  381. How adorable is this little stand and cloche! So many tiny things would be great under it but I think I would place it in my bathroom with a collection of soaps with pretty wrappers on it. I have the soaps in a small display cabinet now but I think they would be darling under the glass.

  382. i love the way the birds nest looks but i would have to make one. so until then i would put a few tiny collectibles from my grandma. either a few broaches or little porcelain flowers.

    great giveaway.

  386. looks like you have much reading to do. ill be brief. im just happy to say that this is going to be really neat. glad to see you doing this. im sure it will be fun for you. thanks and congrats. susy
