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!!!!

Hens, Roos, Bees & Strawberries, Early Summer Kitchen Hutch, 2026

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....

And now for a few Personal Notes...

For the New Year, I am trying something different with my 3 times weekly posts....

On THURSDAYS, I will feature what I cooked and ate during the week, showcasing local cuisine and a few recipes for things that I actually made...

I decided that on SATURDAYS, I will showcase What I Have Been Up To in the past week, sharing events and places I went to, if any....

On MONDAYS, I will be featuring What I Have Bought or Been Gifted Recently, if anything...

Well, even though it is THURSDAY and I should be sharing something about Food, I honestly do not have anything new to share...

It has been horribly hot and humid here so I have really not been cooking much because I am honestly not hungry in this terrible heat.....

Today, I am continuing my tour of the Kitchen decorated with Hens and Roos and Bees for early Summer.....

Today, I am sharing the Hutch and the area around it......

In my previous post, I shared my seasonal Kitchen Tree and the area to the left of the Hutch.....

The color theme of my Kitchen is yellow and red which does give it a bit of a French Country vibe....

I also decorate with a lot of antique and vintage Kitchen pieces that I have collected for many years....

The top of the Hutch.....

I bought this yellow pitcher in Gabes a few years ago...

The pepper shaker and egg cups are vintage...

I made the Bee sign...

That is a vintage yellow enamelware coffee pot....

I bought the chicken metal plate at a church flea market....

Top shelf.....

I used Dollar Tree Bee dinner plates....

A vintage glass canister filled with some vintage cookie cutters.....

The yellow rose vintage pitcher was a gift from my late friend Anne Marie.....

Along with the bee coasters.....

Bottom shelf.....

A vintage cherry pie plate.....

I bought the copper candle holder at a church flea market and placed with in a wood crate that I bough in Michael's many years back....

I glued a bunch of Easter eggs to an egg crate that I got when I bought eggs at the Grocery Store.....

The egg cups are also vintage....

The desk part of the Hutch.....

I decorated this area in a Summer Strawberry theme.....

I bought the quilted place mat at the now closed Country Folks store....

My son Jim made this for me in grade school...

I bought this plate in Gabes last year....

The strawberry florals are from Home Interiors....

The strawberry tea pot and tea and toast sets came from The Christmas Tree Shop and were also a gift from Anne Marie....

A strawberry scented battery operated candle inside of a vintage juice glass that was my late neighbor Elly's.....

I hung another vintage piece....a strawberry tray.....

I made the strawberries in this basket out of styrofoam eggs.....

Did you know that the Campbell's Company originally made preserves like strawberry preserves before they started to make soup and patented their incredible invention, the tin can!!

I learned this from an episode of the History Channel's "The Food That Built America"!

An incredibly interesting show!!

I also bought the strawberry salt and pepper shakers at Gabes last year.....

A personalized ornament my sister gifted me

I bought the strawberry dish in the back at a church flea market.....

I placed this hen egg basket on top of my antique green yellow ware bowl filled with wooden apples.....

I recently gave a fresh coat of paint to this vintage basket bought for $1 at a yard sale over 25 years ago.....

The Mr. Peanut bank pays homage to that....

I love this vintage towel......

It depicts a Victorian home.....

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

I decorated the Kitchen like this after Easter and I am enjoying it.....
