Padma Says it Best – Cloche

It was all in the way she said it “Cloche“, Padma Lakshmi of Bravo TV’s Top Chef that is. Her soft delicate tone of a word I have never heard before provoked me to know more of this thing she called the Cloche . . .

The more I researched the more I found of cloches that are  unique, whimsical, functional and in some cases environmentally necessary.

I see a Cloche of the Month blog coming . . . Send me your Cloche finds and lets all be in praise.
