It's fun to be 'me"

So cool, huh? I have to thank the adorable Miss Paula Montgmery for spotting this on etsy and letting me know. I ordered it right way...from France !

It's actually not the only Suze "object d'art" that I own. Several years ago this cigarette 'server' was given to me by my very close friend Maggie Wright from the U.K.

you pull up the top and it reveals the place where the cigarettes are placed

I can just see the cigarette girls walking around the nightclubs in the 1920's offering cigarettes. It's qute an antique.

Or...how about this adorable little car that Maggies husband Derek found for me on one of his trips...

'SUZE' is actually a brand of after dinner drink in France. An aperitif that has a kind of bitter taste with a strong gentian root flavor, and a campari-ish aftertaste (I've been told !) and...up until January of this year it was NOT sold in the U.S.

Now..it has finally hit our shores....

I spent one of my birthdays in Canada with my lovely friends from Magenta Rubber Stamps and they gave me this

so, of course I treasure it !!! It even has a Wikipedia page

Managed to find two posters online...not easy to find, but haven't bought them...... yet.

I even made it into a Pablo Picasso painting

"Verre et bouteille de Suze"

like I said....it's fun to be me !!

Please don't forget to visit my ETSY site...even I forget I have one sometimes !
