I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

Tea Room Table and More in the Dining Room, 2025

Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!

I am so happy you decided to stop by!!

Blogging has always been a stress reliever for me along with an avenue to share my passions which are my home and my garden.....

I feel it is a personal Journal that, hopefully, someday, my Twin Granddaughters will be able to look back on to learn about who I was....

I will be posting 3 times a week on MONDAYS, THURSDAYS and SATURDAYS....

As always, click on each picture if you would like to enlarge it....

Today, I am going to continue my tour of my Dining Room that I decorated like a Tea Room for the Summer.....

In my first post on this tour, I shared how I returned my Moss Rose China Collection to the Hutch.....

Now I want to share a little vignette next to the Hutch.....

On both sides of the Dining Room, I have hung window inserts from old vintage doors as room dividers.....

They are hung from hooks that my late husband, Joe, drilled into the studs of the soffit.....

Eye hooks were drilled into the top of the window and a strong wire was threaded through them, using it to hang the window from the hooks....

I hung a rose garland from the top to hide the mechanics...

I like to hang signs or plaques that I made on the window dividers....

I made these 2 plaques.....

On a pillar stand below.....

This was a vintage lamp that an older couple, who were antique dealers, gifted me many years ago...

When it was not working anymore as a lamp, decided to remove the electrical components and use it as a vase....

Now what could be more Victorian than peacock feathers....

I really do love the cherubs on it....

There is another one on the other side....

A vintage hand made topper....

Underneath the vase is another one of my Tea books....

2 pink mercury glass votive holders and a capodimonte rose....

And white lace gloves....

Above the entrance into the Living Room on the soffit.....

I could not get all of my Guardian Angel plate collection in this picture so I will start on the left side.....

The angel in the far left corner is hanging over the Hutch....

These are German made and were sold by The Bradford Exchange in the mid 1990's.....

This is on the back of one of the plate's......

In the center is a Home Interiors picture and mirrors....

"Unconditional Love is the greatest Treasure sent from Heaven Above"

4 more plates....

Behind one of the chairs in my Living Room, is a cupboard that I moved down from the bedroom, into the Dining Room, to store dishes and glassware in....

A Moss Rose China egg on top of a vintage beaded glove....

In the center. is a card that came with a lovely Angel that my sister gifted me after my husband Joe passed away last year........

And this beautiful box was gifted to me this Mother's Day by my son Jim and his family.....

They also gifted me this beautiful cloche....

I just love it!!

Moving across to the other corner.....

This is what I call my Tea Table....

On the room divider on this side....

Again, I hung 2 plaques that I made on the room window divider....

" Women are like Tea Bags...You never know how strong they are until they're in Hot Water!!"

" A cup of Kindness"

I layered the table with tablecloths and a white lace topper....

I used another runner, like the one on my Buffet, in the same toile pattern that I bought from a friend who makes them and I added rose venice lace trim to....

I ordered the lamp shade from an EBay store that hand made them and sold them but that was over 20+ years ago.....

Did you notice how this vintage lamp matches the wall paper border????

I bought it at a yard sale.....

On the left side of the table.....

The picture in the frame is of my maternal grandmother on the left and someone who I do not know who they are on the right....

A Thomas Kinkade Pink Lady.....

This one is part of the Inspirations of Hope Collection....

The paper flower bouquet behind the lamp was another Mother's Day gift from Jim and Danielle....

I love the details on this lamp.....

Another Tea book.....

The illustrations inside of it are really pretty!!

And another Thomas Kinkade Pink Lady.....

This one is part of the Laced with Hope Collection....

The mini Victorian houses were sent to me by a reader of my Blog....

The picture on the left is of my maternal great grandmother and grandmother....

The picture on the right is of my maternal grandmother and my mother as a child.....

My mother would be 106 years old this year....

This sweet mini tea set was a gift from a friend....

Joe bought me the clock on the wall......

Next to the table.....

On a marble topped plant stand.....

I placed this pink mercury glass egg in Gabes recently on clearance for $2.00.....

And it lights up!!

The fan was bought at Dollar Tree.....

Home Interiors doves.....

And this is where I will leave off for today.....

In my next post on THURSDAY, I will be sharing my Summer/3rd Quarter Goals and Possibilities!!

So I hope you will stop by to visit again on THURSDAY!!

Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!
