Happy Wednesday, everyone! I am soooo sorry about last week… I forgot to add into the post two weeks ago that I would be taking last Wednesday off because of Thanksgiving week. I was pretty tired and I wanted to just enjoy the week, spend time with Mr. Ethereal (who took the week off from work) and my MIL, and I worked on putting up more Christmas decor.

I’ve been painting in our spare bedroom/office, too! It’s all done and looks great. Look for a post on that transformation coming soon. 🙂

Let’s get to our features and I am finding I need to back off on how many features I put up. This week I am just going to pick my favorite five as I have an eye appointment this evening…

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

**A Salt & Pepper Christmas Snowman Craft to Make** ~ part of this past month’s Pinterest Challenge with Cindy from County Road 407.

And here are this week’s featured posts…

We had a couple of days of rain over the past week and just having an inch or so has really perked up all of our plants! How about you? How is your fall garden doing? Our garden beds have enjoyed a second growing season with the advent of cooler weather. Sooo nice to see plants which were really suffering are now really happy…

Well, getting perennials planted in the ground and taking cuttings of existing plants are what I have been doing a lot of this fall, when I have time. So nice that we have had a long fall season with no freezes yet!

Other than that, what all have you been up to? Hopefully you are enjoying good fall weather in your neck of the woods!!

Let’s check out this week’s features…

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

Pumpkins, Pinecones & Cranberries ~ a Fall Centerpiece ~ part of this month’s Pinterest Challenge using cranberries in our recipes, decor or crafts.

Happy Wednesday evening to you all!! My mother-in-law stopped by as I was prepping for this post, so up a bit later than I’d like, but that’s how things roll around here. ;)’ Last night we had our first night in the high-30’s, and I worked until after dusk getting plants covered and some moved into the big shed/greenhouse. It was a busy couple of hours running a power cord through a window again and making insulation pieces to fit in the vents to keep the cold out, but now the shed is ready for winter. 🙂

So, that’s what’s going on around here lately. I do have a post to share soon with how our garden looks with the new flower beds dug and more perennials and small trees planted. It’s coming along nicely!

Let’s check out this week’s features… It’s all about Halloween/All Hallow’s Eve with some fun and mildly spooky ideas to inspire!! We have a Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos) table display at school surrounded by books which work for the season, and it’s fun to see how this week’s post fits in with that theme, too!

And here are this week’s featured posts…

halloween table styling — Too funny! Love this cute table setting from **Maryjo from Master “Pieces” of My Life!!**
Great title, too ~ Bone Appetit Tablescape. Hee hee! Makes me think of that poem,
“Come on in, take off your skin and rattle around in your bones…”

purple-Halloween-table-black-bat-folded-napkin — **Debbee from Debbee’s Buzz** had a similar idea in her fun tablescape ~ Gone Batty: Black, White and Purple Tablescape. So adorable!!!

French Floral Dress in Istanbul — **Jennifer from Curated by Jennifer** shared a story about her dainty French Floral Dress as part of her trip to Istanbul (a nice series of stories, if you haven’t hopped over to Jennifer’s site before.) Perfect for hot weather! I love clothes which travel and wear well. <3

**Debbie from Debbie-Dabble Blog** shared this fun Spooky Witch’s Potion Buffet and it’s adorable!!! Perfect blend of spooky, creepy and fun!

**Penny from Penny’s Treasures** has used perfectly soft fall colors to decorate her Halloween bar in this post ~ Spooky After School Snack Board. Cute!!!

Newcomer **Estelle from Homemade on a Weeknight** shared the perfect snack to feature at your next Halloween/Day of the Dead/All Souls Day party in her post ~

**Debra from Common Ground** brings us her beautiful antique decorated for fall ~ Dough Bowl Pumpkin Centerpiece on the Sideboard. Simply beautiful!!

No posts this week for you. I spent that earlier part of last week cleaning up after Yoda’s unhappy tummy issues and then the rest just being tired from shelving hundreds of pounds of books. I’m loving the new position in the library at my school but it is very tiring physically! This girl is getting old, drat it… The body just can’t handle what it used to.

Welcome to this week’s Share Your Style, friends!! I’m sorry about last week. I started to get SYS ready and because I was in the middle of visiting for Pinterest Challenge, time got away and I never finished. It had been a busy, busy day with classes coming into the library, too, so you know how tiredness just sets in during the evening… Well, SYS went by the wayside! Again, I apologize for missing last week.

SYS is back this week, yeah! 😀

I am trying a new tactic and getting the post mostly ready in the early mornings before school or on the weekends (which I had previously been doing). Sometimes, you know how it is, you get stuck doing a bunch of things on the weekend which interfere, but this week it is just me here! Mr. Ethereal is out in California helping a warehouse get organized so I have evenings to myself…

So, let’s get this party started…

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

Let’s Decorate Pretty Fall Baskets with Pumpkins and Roses ~ this month’s Pinterest Challenge features baskets decorated for fall. Hope you will stop by and check out my post and the others’ touring this month!!

And here are this week’s featured posts…

Jean over at Delightful Repast shared how she’s kept off weight and how we can, too ~ Intermittent Fasting: Four and a Half Years Later. Great job, Jean!! I need to do this more. 🙂
