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!!!!

Falloween Home Tour, 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...

THURSDAYS is the day I share food or something different I ate....

I ordered a large cheesesteak stromboli from a local restaurant, Leggios....

And a medium pizza with mushrooms for Joey and I .....

The stromboli came with a container of sauce for dipping....

Delicious....

Welcome to my Annual Falloween Home Tour

We will start at the Front Porch decorated for Fall which I decorated right after Labor Day, which was late this year.....

And the Front Yard....

Next, I decorated the Living Room in an Elegant Autumn theme.....

The Hutch and Entry.....

The area by the stairs......

A lighted Branch Tree decorated for Fall......

Tree # 1

Table Vignettes......

My Living Room Seasonal Tree that I decorate for every Holiday and Season year round.....

Tree # 2

And the Pumpkin Patch underneath it....

The TV Entertainment Center that I treat as a "mantel".....

And the area area it and in front of it....

The Living Room is the only room decorated strictly for Fall.....

Shortly after October 1st, I switched the front of the house over to Halloween.....

I decorated my Dining Room in a Spooky Halloween theme......

Creating a Fortune Teller's Buffet....

An Apothecary Cabinet .......

And this year, I passed on the tabletop silver Tree I used as my Halloween Tree in the Dining Room and decided to set up my 6 ft. pencil thin Tree that I bought 2 years ago for Christmas.....

Tree # 3

I decorated the Powder Room in a pink and black Halloween theme.....

The Kitchen is a mix of Fall and Halloween , which is why I say it is decorated for Falloween!!

This wall in the Kitchen is definitely all about Halloween , with a bit of whimsy......

My Hutch and Kitchen Halloween Tree....

Tree # 4

The countertops.....

My Beverage Bar.......

And lastly, I decked Nelson Crest, my Victorian doll house. out for Halloween......

I did enjoy myself trying to change up things a bit differently than past years and shopping my own house....

I challenged myself to try to think differently and with Intention when decorating as Intention is my Word of the Year....

I hope you enjoyed my room by room tours and this tour, which shows the whole house, inside and out, decorated for Falloween....

We have had great Fall weather here in NEPA....

It has been like this for about 2 weeks now with NO rain.....

Our normal high here at this time of the year is usually about 58 degrees so this is rare....

I usually turn the Dining Room heater on ( all electric house) for about an hour in the morning to take the chill out of my downstairs and then shut it off as it gets warmer in the afternoons....

I seldom turn on the heat upstairs unless the high's are only in the 20's...

Speaking of the upstairs, I have the entire upstairs now decorated for Christmas...

And I have been working on Winterizing the back yard....

Cutting back perennials, packing away my faux flowers, pulling out the annuals and raking up leaves....

The tree in the yard across from me is still hanging on to it's leaves....

And is in a blaze of color!!

I am now decorating the Den for Christmas as the only Halloween decoration in there is Nelson Crest...

So far, I am right on track with the schedule for Christmas decorating that I set up about 15-20 years ago as it normally takes me anywhere from 28 to 31 days to decorate the entire house , both inside and out...

For the past 2 years, I have been working on making it easier for me so that things go faster.....

It has already taken me 9 DAYS to decorate the upstairs for Christmas...

I will start changing my Powder Room over to Christmas on Monday, November 2, as I am getting company on Sunday, November 1st, and the outside of the house will follow after that, especially with the nice weather that is predicted for next week...

I will have a ton of stuff to share with the upcoming Holiday Season and will be moving my posts over to my Christmas Blog, A Debbie-Dabble Christmas, next week.....

So I hope you will stop by to visit again on SATURDAY for my next post...

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

And try to find JOY in every single day!

Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
