Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s Share Your Style #509! We are past the mid-summer point and heading into early, early fall. It doesn’t seem like it with 100 degree temps “cooking” us all for another month but fall is on the horizon. Here in Texas and in many other parts of the country, kids start back to school this week, so fall is definitely on its way. Let’s check out this week’s features and it seems that everyone is crafting right now…

I am Barbara Chapman and I’d love it if you’d follow me here on my blog and on any of my other social media sites, too.  Thank you!💜

***I really do need to get a new photograph taken this summer… I have tried to do it myself over the past two summer, but I can’t get the camera to focus on me. It focuses on the bookcases, lol.

I don’t even have any grey hair here, lol! 😉 Still, it’s a decent photo of me but it is 10 years old now. And there is A LOT of grey hair. 😉 Hard to believe we will finish up an entire decade of living here in North Texas this November… Crazy how time flies!

But first…

Here’s what I shared this past week at French Ethereal…

Continuing with our beach theme, MaryJo from Master”Pieces” of My Life shares this quick tutorial in her post ~ Summer Craft: How to Découpage Oyster Shells into Trend Forward Trinket Dishes. Beautiful!!! Love the gilded look…

Jeanne over at Selep Imaging has created this pique assiette floral stepping stone ~
Mosaic Flowering Tree #3. All three were lovely, but this is my favorite ~ I do love roses!!! Having amassed a significant amount of broken china over the years, this is a great project to make with your own “broken treasures!” Stunning… Definitely need to read the linked tutorial to make a few!
Two women stand in a lush green setting by a pond, showcasing different styles of maxi dresses. One woman wears a blue dress with a cardigan and a hat, while the other dons a black floral dress with colorful accessories and an umbrella. Text overlay reads 'Reminder: The Good Buy/ Good-Bye Book Maxi Dresses August 2026.'
Shelbee from Shelbee on the Edge takes a deep dive into dressing in this post ~ Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book – Maxi Dresses, August 2026. Love long dresses!!!

I fully admit I still have a white crinkly, calf-length dress from the 1990s that I love as it fits perfectly.
Plus, another beachy sleeveless summer dress which fit better about 15 lbs. and 25 years ago. It’s perfect around the house! 😉
A decorated red wagon filled with small pumpkins, artificial leaves, a squirrel figurine, and string lights, set against a wooden background.
And because this little squirrel is soooo cute… Stephanie over at Crazy Little Love Birds shares this quick craft in this post ~ DIY Dollar Store Autumn Wagon. Adorable!!!

Recap posts are always fun and such a great way to see what everyone has been up to! Laurie & Laura share birthday memories, current birthday celebrations, concerts and more in this family-filled post ~ Life Lately: July Jottings with the Grands. Very special memories, indeed! Love the M&Ms…

  3. The hot (and humid) weather continues here too, Barb, although nothing like your place in the world! I am looking forward to welcoming the early fall weather and hopefully some refreshing temps, too! Thanks so much for the party and, of course, for featuring our “Life Lately” post! What fun!
