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...
Even though it is THURSDAY, I have nothing interesting to share in the way of Food...
Since we got some much needed rain on Tuesday, I remembered that I forgot to share these pictures here in the blog as I did share them on my FB page....
During a stretch of 90 degree weather, we enjoyed a quick downpour of rain with my young neighbors.....
My son Joey....
Usef and Anaya.....
Even I did a rain dance with the kids....
And then the hot Sun and Heat came back.....
It was great fun!!
Today, I am going to be continuing the tour of my Living Room decorated for late Summer.....
So what is the difference between Coastal and Nautical???????
Coastal means relating to, bordering on, or located near a coast....
Nautical means concerning sailors, ships and navigation; maritime.
Today, I am going to stray away from my late Summer Coastal/Nautical theme and will be sharing my Summer Hutch, which has looked like this since the beginning of May......
It blends in nicely with the aqua and peach colors I used for my Coastal theme.....
First, let me show you what is to the left of the Hutch, which was my husband's Great Grandmother's.....
One of a pair of brass sconces that I bought at a yard sale over 20+ years ago.....
Aqua candles in the votive cups that have Angels embossed on them....
A Home Interiors figurine....
Below the chair rail.....
A vintage ash tray serves as a place to keep keys and a brass can filled with flowers and a lighted branch with a wolf head cane tucked in for good measure.....
I keep part of my Angel Collection in this Hutch year round......
After Christmas, I decided to keep out my gold churches....
Why I did not think of this before is beyond me but this year, my Intention is to try to use what I have in different ways.....
And I feel the churches, bought after Christmas one year at Burlington, fit in nicely with the Angel Collection displayed in this Hutch, along with the mantel clock that holds my late husband Joe's ashes...
I added gold cherubs to the top of the Hutch.....
An aqua flower and a metal butterfly that is one of two that Joe bought for me many years ago....
In the center is a floral swag....
And a cross that was my parent's.....
Another butterfly....
An Angel ornament, that was a gift from a friend, hangs in the center of the Hutch....
Inside the Hutch....
I added more cherubs to the top shelf....
Along with vintage aqua colored water goblets, aqua swans and a vintage Iris & Herringbone depression glass creamer....
The Angels displayed in this Hutch were purchased at Sam's Club in the early 2000's and were manufactured by the Grandeur Noel company, which went belly up.......
The Christmas ceramics and other items that were sold by them in Sam's Club were outstanding....
More Angels on the middle shelf including an Angel ceramic Tree that I bought a few years ago in Boscov's.....
Iris & Herringbone goblets are also displayed on the shelves along with a crystal sugar and creamer set on a tray that belonged to Joe's maternal Grandmother.....
More vintage aqua glassware....
The mica coated Angels and candleholders on the bottom shelf, were all gifts from my late friend, Anne Marie.....
Sorry for the glare with all the mirrors and glittered shiny items....
On the right side of the Hutch....
The other brass sconce.....
One of 2 brass fans bought at a yard sale....
The Hutch will stay this way until I decorate it for Fall after Labor Day, which is late this year on September 7th........
I hope you will stop by to visit again on SATURDAY when I will be continuing my tour of the Living Room decorated for late Summer in a Coastal/Nautical theme.....
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!!
