Since I won’t be doing any projects for awhile, I thought it would be fun to highlight some blog friends and will do that along the way. Today, I want to introduce you to Sharyl, another 50-something friend, who is stylish and creative.
Sharyl, take it away and introduce yourself!Hi! My name is Sharyl and my blog is The Little Brown House. I can’t even express in words how excited I am to be here at Rhoda’s today! I have admired and enjoyed her blog for so long, and have found her to be just as delightful as it is! So this is really a dream come true for me.
I have been blogging for just over a year – and I’m loving it! I love finding ways to decorate, cook, and dress inexpensively but well, my posts reflect my desire to give simple, thrifty ideas and projects you will want to re-create in your home and life. You will also find that I sometimes have a ‘quirky’ way of looking at things, and this comes out in my storytelling posts:)
I hope you will come and see me – and my thanks again to Rhoda for allowing me to share with you!Sharyl is a stylish grandma and I love how she dresses age appropriately, but she doesn’t look like a frumpy grannie at all. Very much the fashionista, I enjoy seeing posts from other ladies close to my age who also like to look good in their clothing choices. Great job, Sharyl! I want to do more posts on fashion and beauty too, since no matter what age we are, we all still want to feel “cute”, don’t we?
Let me show you some of Sharyl’s fun projects. This sunburst mirror idea was borrowed from The Nester and Sharyl made it her own. The fun of the blogosphere is that ideas and projects can be shared and brought to each home in a little different and unique way. I’ve seen a lot of sunburst mirror projects out there lately, from sticks to plastic, to paper. This one is made with poster board, but once assembled looks fantastic on the wall as a focal point. You can find all of Sharyl’s how-to’s on this fun project here.
Do you have a spot for one of these stylish mirrors? They are all the rage these days.Â
This one looks great in Shary’s hallway.
Another project that has run rampant across blogland is the coffee filter wreath. I’ve seen what seems like 100’s of examples. They are simple and pretty and made of coffee filters, very affordable to make.
And you can find out how Sharyl made this one here, just in case you’d like to try your hand.
Sharyl, thank you for stopping by! It’s been fun to get to know you and I hope my readers will stop by and say hello.
I will have more bloggers to highlight periodically too. Ya’ll hear from me enough!
I’m actually at the beach this week for a few days, hopefully soaking up a little sunshine. I love Destin and will take some pics to share.
Birmingham girls, I’m having one last moving sale this weekend, on Friday a.m. from 8-12.  It will be mostly Christmas decor, so stop by if you’d like to check it out. Email me for address. This will be the final one, moving in 2 weeks to Atlanta.
Great feature! Love her outfit. Hope you are having good weather. Our oldest is in Destin on Spring Break, she was in jeans and a sweatshirt yesterday, and wasn’t a happy camper! Good luck with the move. Be sure to let us fellow Atlantans know when you are settled!
Cute mirror, even cuter grandma 🙂
Your stay at the beach sounds wonderful Rhoda!
Lovely feature.
It is a great idea to gently remind folks that “Granny” ain’t what she used to be.;-)
Nice to meet you, Sharyl!
I already follow and just adore Sharyl! I took love her sense of style. So sweet of you to feature her.
Ouuuu and you are moving to Atlanta!?! Oh I feel a meet up coming on for one of my fave Southern Ladies. Atl is just an hour away. I also will give you the addy to my fav Goodwill store. 😉 LOL
Welcome Sharyl! Another blog to check out . . . . (my obsession LOL).
Hmmm, I have never been into “cute”, but always want to look my best, no matter what the age. I am approach the 5th decade myself!
I have a book page wreath that I adore, and have considered a coffee filter wreath if I can find the right place. I don’t really see the starburst in my home.

Love the coffee filter Wreath! so creative and it looks relativly simple to make. I’m definitely going to try this one out.
It is very chilly at the beach but the sun is trying to peek out!
Rhoda – thank you so much for the feature:) I hope you have a wonderful time at the beach!
Rhoda…I have enjoyed the Little Brown house for quite a while now. Sharyl posted your blog today too. Looking forward to checking out some of your pages! Thanks
Hello! I just popped over from The Little Brown House. I’ve been reading Sharyl’s blog for several months and find her equally entertaining. Her “What I Wore” posts are some of my faves!
Love the mirror and coffee filter wreath ideas…they are totally awesome and I’m loving the cost factor!! Thanks, as always, for sharing!

Hi Rhoda! That is is one cute granny! She is very stylish! I’ll go and check out her blog. This is nice of you to introduce us to some blogs you like.
I hope you’re doing okay. I’ve thought of you and when I do, I stop and lift you up in prayer!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
Nice to meet Sharyl….I will be sure and drop by…
I hope the weather cooperates Rhoda…..have fun 🙂
All the best,
Kathy 🙂
Rhoda, I live in Birmingham. I’ve been following Sharyl for a while now and have made my own Coffee Filter Wreath using her posts. If it’s not too late I’d love to get your address and hopefully come by to see what you have at your moving sale.
Thanks, Beth
Loved meeting Sharyl and yes, us mature gals can still dress cute and age appropriate.
I love Sharyl and Her Little Brown House. I have been following her for some time and just love her style, panche and soft sophistication! So glad to see her featured here!!! You have such wonderful taste, Rhoda!!!!! (((hugs)))
What a CUTE Grannie!!!! Love her style. I am also “of a certain age” but not a Grannie… Don’t think it is gonna happen:( I will go visit her now, thanks for introducing her! Hope the move goes well for you, Rhoda. You have been on my mind. XO, Pinky
Checked out The Little Brown House site and I loved it!
Thanks for the link.
Hope you are enjoying beautiful Destin! I love your new blogging ideas. We all love to hear from you even if you are not redecorating.* (Now, what about updating your parent’s house?) I am in my 50’s , too, and would love ANY ideas you have for looking so stylish.
* Although I must admit, I could look at posts of what you find at thift shops and rummage sales 365 days a year!
