The mystery may be solved .... I've been wondering why I get so hungry (and thirsty) while I'm staging a home in Portland Oregon, especially when I'm in the kitchen.
But with all of these temptations lying around, it's NO WONDER ... 
No wonder I'm always famished when I finish a staging job! When you've finished a project, do you rush home too for a bite to eat?
Maureen - All of them are beautiful! You truly have an eye for creating great vignettes and positioning them in a way that will cause emotional triggers. I especially love the displays with the wine bottles and purple grapes - they are simply delectable!
Hi again Connie ~ I'll be traveling to Ojai this Fall to visit my brother. If you need help during my visit, that would be FUN!
Maureen - It all looks so scrumptious. I love the tea pot vignette. I love creamer & sugar sets. I can't help myself. Everytime I see a cute set, I have to have it. I love your examples here. Do I need help?
Hi Claudia ~ thanks so much for your kind remarks. It's fun to create lifestyle elements that help a buyer connect with a home!
Hi Sally ~ I just did that teapot vignette this week, in a 100-yr old historic landmark home. It was in the butler's pantry between the kitchen and dining room, where buyers might have just walked right by without noticing it.
You MAY have a problem with your sugar & creamer sets! I've heard there's support groups for people like you LOL ;-)
Ha... this is great. Yes we have! There have been times, too many to count that we have cracked open a Perrier(sp) bottle. If there is a refrigerator, we have put it in the freezer to get it cold ;) And then there were the times when the bottle of wine never made it out of the warehouse ;) Had to initiate the new wine glasses ya know ;)
Oh... we have had other people try to bite the crackers or bread though. Must have made them hungry.
I not only get hungry staging-I get hungry reading the posts on AR. I am craving fruit and chocalate now Maureen. Delicious work and photos!!!
Hi Lori ~ As long as the bottle in the freezer didn't explode, you were lucky! Drinking wine in the warehouse, eh? That sounds like fun!!
Beautiful work, par usual Maureen.
I did vignette with chocolate covered strawberries & cherries and the realtor almost ate one of the cherries! Fun stuff.
Maureen, I love your beautiful vignettes. I had a tea service vignette that I used to do with a "croissant" until someone took a chomp out of it. I wish I could have seen the expression when they found out it was fake!
hi Sharon ~ Merci beaucoup mon ami! Sometimes those fakes look too real ... glad she didn't poison herself.
Hi Kathy ~ Uh oh, they actually took a bite and left teethmarks? How rude!!! But I agree it would have been fun to see their expression when it happened!!
Simply scrumptious! You do an awesome job with your savory vignettes, magazine quality IMO. Usually by the time I get to vignettes I'm too pooped to be creative, but I'm always hungry!!!
Hi Ginger ~ you liked it enough to say it twice LOL (I know, AR was VERY slow this morning!) Thanks for your support, it's always great to hear from you :-)
Not only do I love your vinettes, you've put me in to cook and that's no easy feat!
hi Kristine ~ To be truthful, they make me feel like cooking too! Thanks for stopping by.
Maureen- you have some absolutely beautiful vignettes. It's a toss up between getting "hungry" after being around all of the "fruitful" vignettes, or getting sleepy after staging our comfy bed!
Hi "Actively Raining Kathy" :-) ~ A good way to go would be to eat everything in sight, then fall into bed for a sound sleep! Too bad my bed never looks like the ones I stage LOL
Maureen,
I love all of the pictures of these lovely vignettes!!!! You really know how to put it all together! Hope you are well!

Hi Marianne ~ It's really fun and challenging for me to create them .. thanks for taking the time to comment. Good to see you here as always!
Hi Janice ~ thanks, I like the look of that chocolate cake too (really, chocolate ANYTHING) and may have to hunt down that Chocolate Bible from my inventory and copy a few recipes.... now I'm getting hungry again.
