Creating vignettes........and too much wine

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
