A 5 Minute Late Summer Door Basket

August 10, 2020 French Ethereal

Welcome to this month’s 10 on the 10th as a group of lifestyle blogging friends gets together on the 10th of each month with and idea you can create for usually under $10. This month we are sharing home decor and Back-to-School ideas for the End of Summer!

If you are new to French Ethereal, welcome! I wish to thank our host Ann of Apple Street Cottage for getting all of us together. Terrie is taking a break this month, but usually she is with us. The posts from everyone who is on today’s tour are linked at the end of this post for you.

5 Minute Late Summer Door Basket

I decided to create a new hanging door basket since I’ve had my current French style basket on our front door all spring and summer filled with various blooms.

Normally I go to my stash of faux florals to create new door hangings or mantel displays (like this summer mantel), but I knew already that I didn’t have any late summer/early fall flowers to choose from. The sunflowers I had were too large and some had fallen apart from sitting in storage for four years, so…

I had to go shopping.

I admit right off that I spent slightly more than double our $10 amount, and sometimes you have to do that for a certain look. 💛

Here is what you need:

1 wood or grapevine basket ~ mine was 50% off at Hobby Lobby (not sponsored) = $7.79.

1 bunch pale yellow peonies or mums = $10.19 (used 40% coupon)

3 picks of small yellow sunflowers = $1.99 x 3 picks = $5.97

ribbon from my stash = $0

wire cutters

TOTAL = $23.95 before tax.

I began with taking a small brown paper bag and tucking that inside to fill the gaps of this woven grapevine-and-wire basket (not shown).

I love the texture of this basket with its horizontal lines of vines winding around plus the curlicue vine tendrils!

Next I clipped off two of the lower “breaks” along the main “stem” of the bunch of pale yellow/tan peonies with the wire cutters. This bunch was tucked inside the basket and paperbag liner, fluffing the flowers and bending stems to make the bouquet look more realistic.

Thirdly, I cut off about half of the mini sunflower stems, bent those flower branches accordingly, and placed them amongst the peony flower heads.

Our front door open to August’s late summer sunshine!

Thriller, Filler and Spiller

Usually you want at least three different types of flowers to create a bouquet, wreath or door hanger ~ the “thriller, filler and spiller.” I tried a few different blooms for a third and kept coming back to this simple late summer look. Adding a French wire ribbon with a hint of fall colors completes the late summer look.

Love the Dutch still life quality of this photograph!

I am very happy with how this door basket has turned out and I know you can make one that is equally amazing! Friends, follow the links to all of the ladies on today’s End of Summer tour. I know you will enjoy what inspiring decor ideas they have for you…

Sorry this is getting up late this week! I had a dental cleaning yesterday morning but with the COVID-19 virus I’d put off having a crown replaced. Well… there was a cancellation yesterday p.m., so… I went through all that in the afternoon! 😱 All is good, impressions made, new “tooth” will fit better than the old one with a shelf that made eating salad a pain, and life will go on. But, novocaine always makes me groggy and “not all here,” so… I slept a bunch of this afternoon.

I don’t know if you’ve been wandering around the internet or have YouTube on your t.v., but I’ve found some wonderful programs to watch…

1. Garden Answer with a young woman, Laura, (whose parents must own an awesome nursery) has all kinds of gardening tips and gives tours of her garden and her parents immense 30+ year old garden… sigh!

2. Potager Blog with Linda Vater who also has a 30+ year old garden in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, shares her topiaries (her specialty) and incredible gardens.

Just some fun things for you to check out since I didn’t get much written this past week. Computer is having issues again or I’d have shared my mantel restyling with you. Brought back a cool clockface from my inlaws and it’s up there now! Looks awesome!! Hope to share with you later this week…

Here’s what I shared this past week at

I love the scent of massive bouquets of lilacs (just missed the few that has recently bloomed at my mother-in-law’s home; neighbor tried to poison but thankfully it was a 50 year old plant and survived his onslaught!) or I would have made a tablescape for you for sure!!! Enjoy Lori’s beautifully purply post!!!

I think I will keep this SYS logo up through the summer as I love our military, our country, and our peacekeeping servicemembers ~ plus it is in keeping with all the fun features we have to share today. Even with the recent sad events involving America’s police, most police men and women are wonderful, good people who work hard to take care of our country’s citizens. 👮

French Ethereal…

This week I only have the one post as I am still recovering from massive amounts of miles driving over the past month. Feeling better today with naps everyday this week, lol! This special post involves Mr. Ethereal’s grandmother, Kate Daffin Duke Fudge ~ Gramma Kate’s Vintage Tricycle.

On a fun side-note, Kate is related to the people from Duke University but there are no surviving male members of her family on which to run a DNA test, something the Duke family requires to be considered as “family.” Just in case you, too, may be part of that family. 😉

And here are this week’s featured posts…

Everything is bee-utiful over at Penny’s Vintage Treasures with this fun post as she redecorates her back porch and yard for summer ~ Bee-ing on the Back Porch. Totally cute!!!

Lori at Dining-Delight shared her sweet-as-honey table in this post ~ Bee Themed Tablescape for Two. So bright and sunny and fun!!!

Newcomer Sherry of My Journey Back shared her mantel redo in this fun post ~ Checking Off the List Mantel Redo. Sherry incorporates this incredible plant (see above in the glass jars) I just photographed out west a couple of weeks ago (on my Instagram) and didn’t know what it was… It’s bee balm!!! (I knew that this bee theme was running throughout this week! Weird, huh?) Let’s support her new blog, friends!!! 💝

Rachelle from My Hubbard Home is back with a fun new series on her blog and this summery post ~ Friday with Friends – Summer Tablescapes. Lots of fun things to takeaway!
