John says - There has to be over 20 wreaths hanging up !
Suzan says - If it were up to you we'd have one on the door and that's it.
John says - Well I can tell they'd certainly not be hanging on chairs so that you can't sit on them !
I stapled it to the chair and then stapled some burlap over that -
Suzan says - that's what people DO when they decorate for Christmas - I'm not " bananas "
Now most of you know by now that my brain works in such a way................
John has a banana every morning with his cereal.
Every. Single. Morning.
So.....................this is what's awaiting him this morning..............just because.
He makes it ridiculously easy...............
What was NOT ridiculously easy was trying to come up with a new blog page............what do you think?
Is it too stark?
My brain is sore from working on it - but any suggestions are more than welcome :)
Have a great one all !
Hugs,
me
UPDATE - John never mentioned the banana to me - I had to ask him what he thought of the " gift " I left out for him
John says - NO COMMENT - you'll have to look for blog fodder elsewhere
Oh no !!! Elsewhere? Please say it ain't so..................

Only you would have a Christmas chair. Love the new look. So much more you. Hip, simple, stylist.
ReplyDeleteHa -the banana wreath cracked me up! Love the wreath on the pretty chair. Happy Thanksgiving Suzan to you and John. I am very thankful for your wonderful blog! Jane
ReplyDeleteLOVE the new page and yes it is a bit stark at first but so much easier to read - and laugh at John's confusion!!! Have a terrific week!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I like the wreath on the chair! And you be sure to tell John. Lol. The banana wreath is too funny. What was his reaction? :-D
ReplyDeleteOh! I like the new blog look!
Hugs
Cecilia
Love it! Your sense of humor and mine are right on track.....slightly sarcastic and funny all at the same time! I LOVE the blog change too! Everyone needs a change now and then. It's clean, and so you! LOVE!!
ReplyDeleteYou know Laurayne sometimes he's so disappointing LMHO
DeleteHe never mentioned the banana - I had to ASK if he liked my " gift " and he said this
" no comment - look for blog fodder elsewhere " LOLOL !!!
Thanks so much XOXO
LOL love the banana with a wreath! Your new blog is pretty. (Don't tell John but I don't have ONE Christmas decoration up)
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny. I love your new blog page. It's so pretty. I won't miss trying to see if the boob lady is back on your friend's list. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm not wreath crazy this year. For me, it is all about the holly. There is holly everywhere. I think I gave myself a sinus infection climbing in the woods to get some cedar so cedar is out! Have a wonderful week. I almost wished you a blessed Thanksgiving but you are one of the lucky ones that has it in October. I wish we could petition the government to move it but you can guess how that would go...
OMG, I am eating cereal with a banana (and blueberries) on it and I almost spit it all out when I saw the pic of the banana and wreath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks SO much for the laugh. I can't wait to see all your Christmas decor!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzan,
ReplyDeleteYou are to clever here, and what awaited his cearel in the morning must Ahmed him.... LOL !
I love the wreath hanging from the chair, it feels like a Christmas card. A simple wreath on a white washed chair.
I can see how easy given space lots of windows how easy it would be to hang wreaths everywhere, and would truly love to see how crazy you went with them then we can be the judge of that :)
See you soon, you must tell us JOHNS reaction in your next post :)
Xoxo
Happy Giving of Thanks
Dore
I can't WAIT to hear what John says about his banana wreath!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the new design. Simple, clear, direct.
Too funny as usual! Love the wreath on the banana ! The setting withthechair looks great ! You go girl!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cindy LOL - that banana wreath seems to be popular LMHO !
Deletexoxo
I love love that wreath on the banana. Still laughing. Wonder why John had nothing to say??? Guess he was just flabber-gasted, (not a word I know) but you know what I mean..(grin)
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should try making wreaths for the entire fruit bowl LMHO !!!
DeleteI don't think he was flabbergasted - he's gotten used to this type of thing, sadly LOL
xox
I think it's a good idea to put a wreath on a chair that you really don't want someone to sit on anyway. This looks like a neat vintage one, and I'd hate for it to be broken. I've had people sit and stand on my antiques and break them. SO upsetting !! LOVE the banana....and poor John... didn't see the holiday love you put into it. :-(
ReplyDeleteLove your new blog set up. Bright, clean and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteGosh I love your front entrance. Mine is filled with boxes! I need an extra hand to get everything in place here and Dave threw his back out! Any volunteers? xo Patty
Thanks Patty - I got that finished for Ashley's shower ( it had boxes in it till then ) and the other side of it has a dresser I can't seem to sell !
DeleteSorry to hear about Dave's back................
XOX
I love your blog...the banana story is too funny!
ReplyDeleteLOL - John didn't think so Jean - but thanks !!!
Deletexox
First, super clean look!! Very classy!!
ReplyDeleteWas that one of the many wreaths hanging around that made it on John's banana(why does that sound nasty???) or did you custom make it just for his breakfast? I wonder why John didn't respond or does he know any comment is going to make it on the blog. Anyhoo, he seems like a pretty good sport!!! And great material!!
A wreath on the banana was hilarious, Suzan. I love the new page...it's clean and very current. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie !
DeleteHope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving ( ours was last month )
XOXO
Didn't know that Target sells banana wreathed. Do they carry garlands as well, just interested. The new look is tre' chic! You have me beat on wreathed, what about a wreath exchange next year, we could all meet at your house, don't you think John would be pleased? Xxxxx
ReplyDeleteBanana wreathes!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your simple, new page. You did a great job on it and once you get used to it, you won't think it's plain or stark at all. It looks fabulous...and I busted out laughing when I saw the banana....too cute.
ReplyDeleteTell me about the little stove you have by the chair....
Merry Bananas John. We blog readers love you too!
ReplyDeleteLMHO - I'll tell him BarbaraAnn !
DeleteThanks xox
The wreath on the chair is so simply yet beautiful , I love it
ReplyDeleteYou are just too funny! Love your new look and your pretty pictures! I've never seen a banana looking so festive before. Thanks for sharing your wreaths at VIParty.
ReplyDeleteI'm belly laughing over here - hilarious! I'm to know what he said to you after discovering his little surprise?
ReplyDeleteHe said NOTHING !
DeleteHe does that now and than just to make me worry about my blog LOL
xox
P.S. Love the knew look of your blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marie !

Oh gosh, the banana is too funny! Sounds like something I did for my hubby and he didn't say a word either. I saw a peanut mounted on a wooden disc at a thrift shop with 'computer nut ' written on it. I thought it was funny so I sat it on his computer desk. He never even mentioned it. Darn! Hate it when that happens. lol! Love the wreath on the chair! I have a wreath that I have plans to either hang on a chair or door for my porch. I'll have to see which one works best. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Love your Christmas chair, Suzan, and the banana with a wreath cracked me up! Bet John loved it! Thumbs up for the new blog look - nice and clean to show off your pretty photos!
ReplyDeleteLOL and thank you for the NORMALCY here to balance out the news headlines
ReplyDeleteWe're in big trouble when we consider this blog normal Deb LMHO - but thanks !
Deletexox
You crack me up!! You sound so much like my husband and I. I say John deserves it, lol!!
