April says - would you like a glass of wine?
Suzan says - that would be nice - thanks
Vignette #1
Took the cabinet out of one of her son's rooms - added an antique shoe box - put a vase of dried baby's breath for height and one of her hearts resting on the floor.....................
and she refilled my glass..............
Vignette # 2
we worked on filling her china cabinet with a cottage / beach theme by " shopping " around her house
and she refilled my glass
Vignette # 3 and we pulled this out from another son's bedroom
Vignette # 4
I placed flowers ( miniature carnations I now know - and will now buy for myself ) in silver steins
and she refilled my glass
Vignette # 4
and we kept playing with the china cabinet
Vignette # 5
Vignette # 6
Vignette # 7
and............well she may or may not have refilled my glass
then we brought down a trunk from her bedroom to replace the first photo - because that's what you do when you've had too much wine
even with her bad back and my bad shoulder - the blue is the perfect touch for the " beachy " look she wanted
Vignette # 8
There was a lot of squealing and jumping up and down every time we got something just " right " - that I know. We'd place something somewhere - run to the doorway to look at it - and scream and hit each other and laugh and laugh - and we had an audience for at least part of it
.
and I don't remember too much after that to tell you the truth - except it involves me acting over the top ridiculous in front of her neighbours who came in to have a look
and it involved pizza - I know that
and it probably involved me never getting a job again..................
I'm not sure because it's all a big blur from the trunk on
John says - as we left very late that night - Well that was just lovely Suzan
Suzan says - Well April had too much wine too
John says - but this is a JOB you're on - good God - it's not appropriate
Suzan says - well BOSSES should never give EMPLOYEES wine
John says - why do you have flip flops on??????????????
Suzan says - OMG - I left my shoes at April's..........................
Red, red wine, go to my head

LOL, if you were hitting each other and squealing, I'm sure all is fine. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Suzan!!!
ReplyDeleteCan I offer you another glass of wine? LOL!!!
At least you weren't drinking alone, but, you had a fun time while working. You accomplished what you were doing and it looks amazing!!!
By the way, do you need a Tylenol?

Good Morning Suzan,
ReplyDeleteThis was hilarious, you had a glass of wine, you were creative. You had another glass of wine and you were on a roll. Then another glass of wine and you had the giggles.
....and I loved the faces on your men....priceless.
Fabulous post, I loved it.
Best Wishes
Daphne
I love this post Suzan! You can come over here and get drunk any old time!
ReplyDeleteSee that would make me hire you drink decorating, I love it. Nice job wino
ReplyDeleteGreat vignettes, Suzan. I love the beach theme.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful vignettes! Sounds like you girls had a good time :) Looks like John would KNOW by now what he's dealing with -LOL!
ReplyDeleteBut did you get your shoes back???
ReplyDeleteSounds like you girls had fun to me...
despite the two sourpusses!
Ha!!! Sounds oh so familiar!!! A little wine goes along way in the decorating world!!
ReplyDeleteToo funny-I want to be you when I grow up ;-)
ReplyDeleteRed wine is a magic potion! I'm sure you were lovely, and even if you weren't, no one will tell you to your face! Life's too short to care!
ReplyDeleteIn my last life, I used to rollerblade like a mannequin...stiff, no joints, etc... Until I had wine then rollerbladed...like a prima ballerina! Magic!
Occasionally one of my friends comes over in the evening and we try to get creative, which always involves some type of adult beverage, and each episode eventually ends up with us trying to restructure glass. Drilling holes in jars, cutting bottles in half, etc. The sea of glass shards have always been the indicator that it's time to hang it up for the night.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun job to me! She'll probably ask you back every week!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Sounds like you had fun Suzan! What's wrong with a little decorating under the influence? Absolutely nothin'!!
ReplyDeleteLove this post, Suzan! Creativity is usually best at work with a glass of wine in the hand ! I've had the shoes {and sometimes clothes!} question asked a couple of times in my life ;-)
ReplyDeleteLinda
With A Blast
CHEERS!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Ginger
Thank God you weren't drinking Tequila because it makes your clothes fall off, not just your shoes.
ReplyDeleteBliss
Bliss said it for me ~ Tequila makes my clothes fall off! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like LOTS of fun...with lots of wine. I'm glad you had fun on the job, so many employers don't allow "fun".
xo
Pat
P.S. Love that blue trunk!
lol, the joys of working for yourself!! You get to enjoy what you do!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a driver. Now, I wonder what things really ended up looking like in the light of day?
ReplyDeleteLiz
Oh, pretty Suzan, you cracked me up! I just did a tablescape for 5 de Mayo, so you can come over and have some Tequila with me, anytime!.. there's no problem, hon !!!!! Yeah, it's fun to work for yourself, heheheheheee... Big hugs,
ReplyDeleteFABBY
LOL - good - because I don't think anyone else will XOX
ReplyDeleteWell I am OBVIOUSLY working for the wrong people!! I saw what Bliss said....take her advice...stick to wine.
ReplyDeleteI was waiting for the last vignette....Suzan, on the floor....in a decorative heap of course....
That photo will never be published LMHO...............
DeleteXOX
I love to read your posts...they always make me smile:)
ReplyDeleteLOL What a fun post!! :)
ReplyDeleteToo funny!! You probably did some of your best work as well as having a ball!
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
love it you so make me laugh.thanks-love dee x
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute my friend, I can see the two of you jumping up and down. sounds like a fun night. I promise to supply the wine and you can come help me do this in my new home in Ontario. loved this post, you are such a delight. hugs Tobey
ReplyDeleteGood lawd- you are hilarious!
ReplyDeleteCan you ever have too much wine? I know the answer is yes, but I've been packing for days and could use a glass- or carafe. When in Rome.. Or the burbs...
How funny would it have been if after a few glasses- that your vignettes just became obnoxious or odd? " why is a man's shoe next to those shells? I don't get it. You: " it's ironic and sarcastic! Live with it for a week!"
Thanks for making me giggle!!
The vignettes turned out great, even if you did have to sacrifice a bit credibility for your art!
ReplyDeleteDo you even remember that you actually published this post? It was so funny! I begin to feel dizzy after the first glass of wine, so I wouldn't have lasted as long as you did, taking pictures and creating pretty vignettes!
ReplyDeleteI bet she had such a great time that she'll recommend you to all her friends!
ReplyDeleteooops. :)
ReplyDeleteToo funny. Hey, if the customer is happy...all is good. I'm sure she loved it all.
Kelly
Suzan,
ReplyDeleteYou had me laughing pretty good! Sounds like you girls had a blast and you did a wonderful job. I love every vignette shown. You can come to NJ and help me with our house in about 6 months.....Thanks I will see you then.
Cynthia
beautiful and funny post!!!
ReplyDeleteAt least you were productive during your wining. I usually destroy things after a couple of glasses, not make them better looking.
ReplyDeleteAll painting had officially stopped by then - it was just playing around with where to put things at that point lol
DeleteDrinking and paintbrushes do not work for me ( although I have a girlfriend that paints half in the bag LMHO )
XOX
omg this is too fuuny. I feel like I may have done the same in your shoes...errr flipflops. :) i bet they will want you back considering your humor!!
ReplyDeletehmm don't know about that Jodi LOL but thanks!

ReplyDeleteOh my! Sounds like a blast, and my friend! She always asks if I would like wine..... :) I may or may not have a glass, or three! But who's counting, right? Fun times!
ReplyDeleteI don't want to see wine for awhile Kathy LOL
DeleteThanks for dropping by :)
Big hugs,
My husband just had 12 cases of wine delivered, flip flops are required wear on our beach - I think you need to come by and cerated vignettes all over my house.
