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!!!!

Easter Kitchen Tree, Hutch and More, 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, today is SATURDAY so what have I been up to?

Last Sunday, I helped out with the Easter Egg Hunt and Party sponsored by the Community Group at my church and the Laflin Rec Board.....

The Rec Board always rents a pretty background for Bunny Pictures.....

The Easter Bunny came via Fire Truck after riding through the streets of Laflin.....

There were eggs for the children to color, a DJ that had them involved in Basketball, Hula Hoop and Limbo contests....

I helped serve pizza......

All 12 boxes went!!

We had over 100 people!!

My fellow members of the Community Group who were able to help out....

Suzie sitting next to her son Landon, who was the Easter Bunny, me and Michelle in the back...

Funny thing....everyone ran outside when the DJ announced that the Easter Bunny was coming...

A little boy about 5 years old stopped dead in his tracks when he saw me wearing my Bunny Ears and pointed to me and asked "IS THAT THE EASTER BUNNY?" with such a look of disappointment on his face!!!

I had to contain my laughter and tell him to look at the Bunny on the fire truck....

We all got a good laugh out of that one!!!

Our priest, Father Alex Roche!!

And look at the Easter Bunny giving Father Alex Bunny Years!!!

LOL!

We all had a great time!!

We celebrated my DIL Danielle's Birthday on Tuesday evening.....

I had a senior moment and made her one year older than she actually is!!

OOOOPS!!

Lily and Gigi and to which one is which, I have no idea.....

We had pizza, chicken bites from Sam's Club, which the twins love, and french fries from McDonald's.....

And cup cakes!!!

They are always under the watchful eyes of both parents...

The twins had on Unicorn jumpers!!

Uncle Joey and Faye!!

Faye and Azumi waiting patiently for chicken bites from Uncle Joey....

She liked the roosters on the rug....

It was a great evening with family.....

And the following day, Faye and Azumi had a Spa day....

Wednesday was the 1st time I went to a funeral in my own church since my late husband's 2 years ago..

The mother of a long time friend from church, who ironically works with my son Joey now at the Chancery for the Diocese of Scranton, passed away...

I joined the Rosary group, which says the rosary prior to Funeral masses...

I have to admit that I was emotionally exhausted when I came home that day...

Tomorrow on March 29th, it will be 22 years since my own Mother passed away...

Spring is a bad time of year for me...

Today, I will be sharing how I decorated my Kitchen for Easter in a yellow, orange and green color theme......

Now believe me when I tell you that I know these are not your typical colors for Easter as I have had to make and repaint several Easter decorations to use in the Kitchen with this color theme.......

Then a few years ago, carrots became a big thing for Easter....

That made it easier to find Easter decorations for the Kitchen.....

I am starting my tour of the Kitchen with this wall where I have the Hutch that I made from a thrifted desk and shelf unit from a bedroom set........

To the left of the Hutch.....

Several vintage Kitchen items on this shelf that my Dad made for me....

On the side of the Hutch.....

The macrame cross was gifted to me by my Mother over 45+ years ago......

It is a refrigerator magnet but I use it on this vintage enamelware lid...

I was lucky enough to find a green Easter egg many years ago that I embellished....

I now leave this Tree up year round.....

To the left of the Tree.....

A chalkboard that a friend and former co worker gave me....

I made the Easter basket out of a peat pot....

The Tree is also decorated in orange, yellow and green.....

I tucked carrot picks and carrot yard stakes into the top of the Tree.....

I made this bow out of 2 Dollar Tree ribbons....

I did make some of the ornaments for this Tree........

There is a carrot garland on the Tree....

And yellow, green and orange eggs....

From the side....

I hung a Bunny and a bow in the middle......

The top of the Hutch.....

Vintage styled paper mache eggs that I bought in Tuesday Mornings....

A vintage yellow enamelware coffee pot....

I made carrots out of these several years back......

I bought these in a discount store that sold hardware and other building supplies.....

I was thinking Tussie Mussies when I bought them but then, I saw carrots!!!

This is what I came up with....

I hung 2 on the sides of the Hutch and more inside....

The top shelf......

Bottle brush trees are from Dollar Tree and more vintage style paper mache Easter eggs....

The bottom shelf.....

I made carrots out of Easter eggs.....

I bought the chick in the egg in Gabes last year....

The red and yellow doilies were bought many years ago in Michael's Dollar bins....

I am sure they no longer have them...

The desk area.....

The cloche came from Big Lots and as you can see, I forgot to light it up.........

I framed this print....

On a vintage Fiesta ware platter......

A vintage milk glass lamp placed in another piece of vintage Fiesta ware.........

The carrot houses came from Dollar Tree.....

Underneath the desk area.....

2 moss Bunnies and the yellow plastic Bunny was mine as a child.....

More vintage items on this shelf including a Mr. Peanut Bank as Planter's Peanuts was founded by an Italian Immigrant right here in Wilkes Barre, Pa!!

The shelf above the doorway to the Den, where I hung a few ornaments that I made.......

On the side of the stove....

More carrots.....

I brought back the yellow milk can that was my late neighbor Elly's and filled it with yellow florals....

Above the stove....

I changed this sign that my late husband Joe bought in Big Lot's for 90 % off....

I covered the blue and white checks with a red and white checked fabric from a tablecloth....

And I repainted the sign part of it....

Now it went well n the Kitchen....

On the small countertop next to the stove....

A carrot bag from Dollar Tree that I stuffed and embellished.....

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

Not much was changed up here in the Kitchen for Easter this year so I will be sharing it in only 2 posts instead of my usual 3....

As you can see , I changed the header picture on this blog from my Winter porch to my Spring/Easter Porch....

It got up to 72 degrees on Thursday so I took advantage of that and packed up all the Winter decor....

Friday, a cold front came in and it did not get above 36 degrees with a wind chill factor making it feel like 29 when I finished putting out the Easter decor..

Did I mention it is 19 degrees here in NEPA this morning?

Yep! Spring does not come here in NEPA until April, if we are lucky!!

I will be sharing my Easter/Spring Front Porch in my Annual Spring/ Easter Home Tour post.....

I hope you will stop by to visit again on MONDAY 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!!
