    Vintage Brownies Under Glass

    Published by Pam Kessler | 256 words. · About 2 minutes to read this article. -

    I see so many cloches in decorating, but I've never had a real cloche myself. I must say that I've been having a little cloche envy.

    I still don't own a real cloche, but I do have the glass cake dome that I bought at a garage sale a few weeks ago and a footed silver platter that I bought at a thrift store last year. And together they are cloche-like. Cloche-esque. Cloche-ish.

    The problem with using a cake dome as a cloche is that it is hard to photograph what's inside it. The thick glass by the handle was distorting the view all the heck, so I pulled the top off to show you the Kodak Brownie Starlet camera (manufactured 1956), some Kodak film canisters and a Scrabble game sign.

    Oh, where you thinking I had this kind of brownies under glass?

    I guess that would make more sense, but a moment on the lips and a lifetime on the hips and all that jazz. My hips sure don't need any extra padding.

    I added my Kodak Baby Brownie camera, Special Edition (manufactured 1939 - 1954)

    and my Kodak Brownie Flash Six-20 (manufactured from 1946 - 1955) to the vignette.

    I think these kind of Brownies are the yummiest kind of all.

    OK, that sounds all nice for the post and all, but let's be real - that box of brownies will be calling my name all day.

      I love vintage cameras and have many in the past. You know me and photos- but I really like your little brownies. Love your new display. Things just look more important under glass, don't they?

      What a lovely display! Great idea to duplicate a cloche.

      Looks great, Pam! I'm still collecting old cameras, as well. the husband bought one at the. French Hen Farm this year, but it is ginormous and no way it would fit under a cloche! LOL. We have rain today! Woo hoo. what about you?

      I would say your cake-stand and gorgeous pedestal tray are definitely cloche-esques!! I love the scrabble pieces and yes I did think of the chocolate brownies 🙂 Glad to be a new follower!

      My favorites for sure....the vintage kind. This is just the sweetest cloche-esque cloche.

      I have a brownie like your last one. I love it. I have no idea if it works anymore...does yours? I don't even know if you can buy the film for them anymore. 🙂

      Very sweet indeed! 🙂
