Let’s check them out…
Here’s what I shared this past week atFrench Ethereal…
A New Chandy in the Dining Room ~ I cannot tell you enough how happy I am to have this chandelier here in this spot! I have been really missing a traditional chandy in the dining room, which is what we had in our last two homes and even in our last trailer. 🙂
And here are this week’s featured posts…
Adorable baby!!! Katie from The Preppy Empty Nester is back and now living here in Dallas, Texas (Katie, we need to get all the Lone Star Girls together this fall!).

Happy Wednesday, y’all! The shed is coming along but not quite where I’d like it to be to be able to share the inside, so hopefully next week. 😉 Other than that, we had a quiet Labor Day weekend and just worked on getting the backyard into shape and more things moved into the shed.
I did however get out in the garden and shoot some evening plant photography! Hope you’ll stop by and check out my little garden. <3
So with that, let’s get this party started…
Here’s what I shared this past week atFrench Ethereal…
Fall is a good time for completing small projects, like this upcycled basket by MaryJo of Master “Pieces” of My Life ~ Weathered Baskets DIY. Love it!!!
Sandy from Dinner at Eight shared her 2021 planting story in this post ~ The Backyard Landscape – First Phase. You’ll love Sandy’s labrador puppy! He’s very cute!! ;)’
Niky from The House on Silverado speaks my language here with this post on How to Dry Hydrangeas the Easy Way. I just successfully got a small bouquet to dry perfectly since moving here to Texas! Excited to share this post so you can learn how, too. <3
I am loving Penny of Penny’s Treasures new look in her kitchen!!! I think many of us have been cleaning and clearing out this year and Penny explains what all she has done in this post ~ Less is More Wall Decor, New Snack Bar Chairs and a Fall Tour.
I am loving this post by newcomer Sinziana from Coffee Time Classics called 365 Days of Lifestyle Photography – Week 3. Fun photos and lots of good information, plus a challenge we can all jump into! Come check it out… 🙂 And welcome, Sinziana!!

***SYS is getting out a tiny bit late today because… A BIG box with Bright and Shiny came today!!! (Okay, really more Chippy White…)
Of course I had to snap a few pics… 😉
Can’t wait to share!!! XD
And, I am sooo inspired by all the fall posts coming out (and the fact that this weekend was just the tiniest bit cooler) that I am looking for fall posts now… If you have some fun ones in the works, do link those, too!
As for myself, I’ve moved more garden items into the shed and have been cleaning everything before it gets in there. Three mice were living on the hutch, so it was sprayed and wiped down with disinfectant before it ever got carried in last week. Now it’s just wiping all the other things. 😉 And I tweaked the SYS logo pic just a bit for fall… Still loving the dried roses in the background.
Here’s what I shared this past week atFrench Ethereal…
With fall weddings in the works, I just had to share this fun post by Michelle at her new blog Wedding Soirées Blog by K’Mich. My son and daughter-in-love had their first dog in their wedding photos… Luna loved being with them and I think she knew it was special… (So doggone adorable, don’t you think?!!) Dogs in Your Wedding Doesn’t Have to Be Hard
I love Sargent’s work and have several of my own from others who painted in this style. This group of painters were called The Pre-Raphaelites. Here is The Soul of a Rose, my personal favorite print bought on my birthday one year, and one I have as a greeting card ~ which was taped up as “art” when we were living in our trailers, you may recall. Love love love this ethereal style of art they captured in these paintings!!!
Thrifting Wonderland is back with this pretty apple post ~ Fall’s Almost Here Table Setting. Love the apple plates and of course I love the silverplate!!! I have the same Rogers Bros. pattern. <3
Newcomer Jennifer of Curated by Jennifer shares her fun fashion find in this post ~ Floral Set by Faithfull the Brand. Love it!!! Welcome, Jennifer!
Lynn over at My Journey Back shared this adventurous post on finding a good dog park in her post ~ The Dog Days of Summer. Cool post! And isn’t her Staffordshire terrier cute??!
And because we all love a good find… Tara from Stilettos and Shiplap went looking for a nightstand and… came home with these!!! {Be still our French-antiques-loving-hearts!} ~ French Vintage Friday: It All Started With a Nightstand…

We finished up the shed this past weekend and began moving gardening things inside, so I’ll be getting that post out for you soon. So ready to have the yard and patio looking good and everything NOT such a chaotic mess! Ready for a fall tour as soon as those things are cleaned up. 🙂
Let’s get to the party…
Here’s what I shared this past week atFrench Ethereal…
It’s time again for our monthly Pinterest Challenge and this month it’s all about mantels ~ An Early Fall Mantel Refresh… Certainly brightened my spirit while creating these vignettes!!
And here are this week’s featured posts…
Tara at Stilettos and Shiplap created this mantelscape and don’t you just love it with her tile surround and all the Shabby Chic/Farmhouse look of the mantel and the gorgeous picture frames?!! I shared one of her photos last week but THIS is the one I should have shared. <3 So… I am resharing! A Late Summer Mantel Refresh.
MaryJo from Master”Pieces” of My Life shared this fun fall crafting post ~ 5 Easy Ways to DIY Pumpkins. Really fun ideas and who doesn’t love to have a few more faux pumpkins in our stash?!!
Melissa from Howling Liz Blogspot shared this sweet Daisy Crochet Bandana in her latest link up for all of your crochet folks!! Love how cute this is!!! <3

I don’t know where time goes to… but, though I worked on posts, I didn’t get anything published… (whaaaa!) We took last weekend off from out in the garden (except for a couple of minor things) and we had a few days with rain, including last Saturday. A nice break from heavy weekends of working outside most of the weekend!
A view of the shed from right by the mandarin orange tree (during the rainstorm). Hubby was just finishing laying lino as the storm began.
Charles did go out into the shed early Saturday morning before the rains came in and finished glueing down the linoleum along all four edges. Looks good and now after we get some things moved in, I’ll share what we’ve done in there. 🙂
And I’m getting back to my “roots” with more decor posts this week…
And here are this week’s featured posts…
Niki from Life as a Leo Wife shared this Cricut post that I thought would be interesting! It’s called Split Letter Monogram Cricut Tutorial. Really cool idea for holiday gift giving ideas, for use in so many home decor applications!!
I know it’s early but crafters might want to make these cute bats for this year’s Halloween, so here is this fun post by Olivia Ohern ~ How to Make a Hand-Sewn Stuffed Bat. Cute idea and not too spooky. 🙂
CoCo from The Crowned Goat shares some small but big changes in this final post for the week ~ The Evolution of the Breakfast Area. Love ’em all!!!

Happy Wednesday to you, dear friends!! Well… Tomorrow is it, folks! The kids come back to our elementary school. We’ve been at trainings these past seven work days, prepped the school with bunting and paper lanterns (see yesterday’s $10 on the 10th post), have t-shirts and bulletin boards with Harry Potter-themes. It’s going to be a magical year at Hodge Elementary with us “Hodgewarts.”
The staff lounge got a makeover today with soft turquoise-greens and gold ephemera and contact paper over a long counter. Now we are ready for the students tomorrow!
Here on Share Your Style, fall is definitely falling on many of your posts but late summer ones abound as well… 🙂 Should be another fun week for you with features! 💜
Here’s what I shared this past week atFrench Ethereal…
Debra from Common Ground is back with some barnyard fun in her post ~ August in the Cookbook Cupboard. Love her decorating style!!!
Paula who writes Virginia Sweet Pea shared her delicious recipe in this post ~ How to Make Blackberry Jam. Seriously yum!!! Check it out for free printable labels, too. 🙂

Happy Wednesday to you all! Hubby and I spent another weekend outdoors working around the back garden. I’ll be sharing what we are working on out there soon, but it’s starting to take shape. Other than that, two days are done for this new 2021-2022 school year, yeah! Only 180 to go… 😉
I worked on some posts but none got published yet, so… Next time! 🙂
Let’s check out this past week’s featured posts…
And here are this week’s featured posts…
About this time every year, we gardeners get the doldrums out in the garden, but Penny from Penny’s Treasures shared this wonderful post on what to plant for late summer prettiness out there! ~ Freshening My Stale Flower Beds.
A wonderful post here about family, fun and Christmas inspiration in July… Thoughts on Loving Well with Coco from The Crowned Goat.
Oh, I was at such a quandery as to which perfect photo to choose from Jeanie of The Marmelade Gypsy‘s wonderful post ~ Paris in July: Something Old! But of course I went for roses… 😉
I love Debbie of Debbie-Dabble Blog‘s posts as they are a fun mish-mash of daily life! Good stuff!! In this post ~ And the Landscaping Continues ~ she shares more about the new neighbor, helping landscape that home’s yard, and more. 🙂
Lisa from Fresh Vintage by Lisa shared this lovely post about How to Make a Paper Snippet Roll. I love all the combined ephemera!!! Such a great idea for repurposing little ribbon rolls! <3
Cloches capture the heart, don’t they? I love Debra’s of Common Ground‘s beautiful late summer vignette. Do stop by and check out her woodland scenes!
Lastly for this week is this lovely crochet piece created by Maya Kuzman from The Little Treasures Blogspot ~ The Charlotte Crochet Pouch. Lovely… <3

Well, happy Wednesday to you all! 💜 Next week I am back to school but I have to say that I have enjoyed these past eight weeks of summer. It seems a long time ago since I flew to my nephew and his bride’s wedding and saw my daughter, brother and his wife and family. Then my mother-in-law and sister-in-law drove out to visit us, and my nephew on hubby’s side of the family flew in. We had a good time finding out about Gini’s grandfather and grandmother who were born here in Texas and just hanging out!
The shed arrived the following week or so after they drove home, and we are now working on the fence behind it, and this week I am laying down keystone bricks to hold dirt in under where the fence line lies. I have also read some really good books over the past six months I need to share with you, too (another post!).
Lastly, Hubby has a new role at work so hopefully this will allow me to step back from teaching (I am an paraprofessional, but still, it’s teaching) after this year. I love what I do, but physically, I am not able to do what I could 15 years ago.
It’s time.
Well this week we have everything all about summer… 😉
Here’s what I shared this past week atFrench Ethereal…
The Crown Jewel of Crown Heights ~ a fun drive up with friend Torrance into Oklahoma to a couple of garden shops and a visit to see a famous YouTube gardener’s home.
And here are this week’s featured posts…
MaryJo from Master”Pieces” of My Life shared this Hydrangea and Mercury Glass Tablescape. Love the soft silver and blues and greens for a summertime table!!
Sticking with our summertime theme, Shelbee from Shelbee on the Edge flaunts this fun tie-dye knit dress so well at an outdoor BBQ!! ~Sizzling Styles for a Backyard BBQ. Love all the summertime styles worn by all her friends at this link party. 🙂
Korean BBQ is on the menu over at Julie’s Creative Lifestyle. Totally yum!!!
Stampin’ With Anita brings us this fun craft card to make ~ You Are Mer-Mazing! So pretty and perfect to end out summer theme this week. 🙂
Honorable Mention
I couldn’t pick up a photograph but definitely wanted to share this heartwarming post… Come check out this post from newcomer Jan of Aging with Ardor ~ The Beautiful Concept of Ubuntu. You will be blessed, friends…

This week I’m picking up a few past posts in addition to seeing what’s new from last week’s shares, and that’s because… Well, because I’d feature everybody if I could each week! <3
It’s odd that as a host, it’s very hard to pick just a few features; everyone creates so many good ideas, recipes, DIY projects, and lovely tablescapes and vignettes!
***Sorry, gang! I was trying to get this post out correctly for 6:00pm but found I set it up for tomorrow… 🙁 Mr. Ethereal and I will be out of town, so I was driving around getting Yoda over to boarding, returning a damaged UPS package, and giving my treasurer’s things to another board member for Odd Fellows. It was a busy couple of hours since 5:30p.m.!!
Anyway, let’s party, friends!!!
So, let’s go…
Here’s what I shared this past week atFrench Ethereal…
Come See Our New Shed! ~ a pretty big operation and how these sheds get installed at one’s home!
And here are this week’s featured posts…
Picking up this feature from two SYS’s ago (#308), Jean from Delightful Repast shares this delectable apple dish ~ Apple Galette. The Thermoworks Timestack timer give-away is over (it was over just as SYS #309 was publishing, that same day, sadly… :((( ), but you can still order this cool timer for multi-timing!! Do check out Jean’s post… 😀
#2 in the past SYS group: Sherry from My Journey Back shared that she and her family (including Hubby “The Cowboy”) have moved to Galveston, Texas ~ just a hop, skip and a jump down the road from us! (Okay, about 8 hours south-east!) You’ll enjoy her post on what’s she’s reading this summer, beach walks, eating fresh fish and more! Her post is ~ Happy Homemaker in Texas. And from last week’s SYS, another fun post about scrapping ~ Black and White Junk.
Annemarie from Annemarie’s Haakblog is back with this super cute Crochet Bee Pattern!! I could see this guy being made into a mobile for over a baby’s new crib. Or cute bees stuck on sticks out in the garden… Adorable!
Summer is all about family and maybe a little travel… This fun post from Jeanie at The Marmelade Gypsy shares her musings and birthday wishes ~ Postcards from the Lake.

Here’s what I shared this past week atFrench Ethereal…
Hello everyone! I hope you had a nice 4th of July celebrating with family and friends!! We spent the whole weekend-plus putting in a 50′ drain in the backyard as part of the prep for the shed.
However, all that was worth it as the shed is here!!!
So this is my “post” for the week! I was sooo busy prepping the yard late last week and through the weekend, this is it. 😉
So let’s get to this week’s features… We’ve got a bit of this and some of that, plus some pretty 4th of July and patriotic posts for you!!!
Penny from Penny’s Treasures brings us her sweet farmhouse coffee table in this post ~ Easy Patriotic Centerpiece. Love it with the cute chicken!!! Penny also shared another fun post featuring a Vintage Coco-Cola Crate. Fun!!!

Around some parts of the county, lilacs are still in bloom {totally jealous over here!} and Renae from Peacock Ridge Farm shared her gorgeous table in this post ~ A Lilac and Brass Tablescape. Lovely!
