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....

I
enjoy reading your comments and will return the favor by visiting and
commenting on your blog or reply to you directly here if you do not have
a blog but I do have my comment section set to Moderation due to

In my last post, I shared some storage spaces for my Christmas decorations, a few Trees and other holiday decorations over on my Christmas Blog, A Debbie-Dabble Christmas.......
I also shared these great Christmas buys for Rudolph Day....
Click HERE if you missed that post!!
It is Monday so what did I buy recently??????
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...
My upstairs sweeper died a few weeks ago.....
I like to have a sweeper upstairs so I do not have to drag one upstairs all the time....
And before my knee replacement surgery, it was just much easier to have one upstairs....
So I moved the one I bought 2 years ago upstairs and bought a new one for the downstairs.....
I have liked Dirt Devil vaccum cleaners for many years now so I ordered this one, which is a bit better than the one I previously has downstairs....
It is not super fancy, but it is for hard floors and carpets and has the basic attachments....
In Walmart for $66.42, FREE shipping for orders over $35 without a memebership...
I was going to order one from Boscov's but they were charging $16.99 shipping as it was coming directly from the company so it pays to check around....
One of my patio umbrella's in the back yard, which is actually just a beach umbrella because it is a 6ft. one, had seen it's last day so once again, I checked Walmart online....
I found this one that is almost identical to the one I had, which was bought at Ocean State Job Lot ( they had none left), on clearance for only $14.87!!
I paid $29.99 for the old one.....
They did have a package of 2 for only $ 29.74 but since I spent almost no time outside this Summer because of the heat, humidity and rain, I may go down to only one umbrella out in the back yard....
These came in the same order from Walmart and I got FREE shipping with NO membership!!
On the soffit above the entrance to the Dining Room.....
I hung an embellished leaf ornament on this side....
And on this side....
Today, I am going to be sharing everything on this wall of the Living Room as we continue around the room.....
In the corner near the Dining Room....
You may remember that I painted this wall, covered with a paneling over 40 years ago, to look more like a brick wall 2 years ago....
I wanted to brighten it a bit so this past Summer, I added a bit of gray to the "Brick" to age it.....
I wanted to add a bit more aqua to my Living Room Autumn decor so I left out the aqua colored candles in the votive cups of the Angel brass candle holders....
I also added aqua velvet like Dollar Tree pumpkins and kept out the Home Interiors aqua wooden book.....
It also brings out the aqua in the Home Interiors picture.....
I want to point out the aqua framed mirrors on the soffit, which are also Home Interiors.....
They remind my of the transom windows in Victorian homes that were over the door ways....
The large round table in the corner.....
Again, I left out the aqua candles....
Pumpkins.....
Tried to keep my Victorian style....
An aqua owl topiary inside a cloche....
A Fall tea cup and saucer....
I also changed out the peach color lace topper for a gold chenille topper....
My faux window.....
I changed out the Summer aqua drapes.....
For these tan ( I guess that is the color that you would call it) ones....
I always hang a lighted wreath on this "window"...
Embellished Dollar Tree signs and an envelope....
This year, I added more gold and copper ornaments to this old wreath that I made many years ago.....
The Home and Fall signs were $1 each from Dollar General last year....
I left out the aqua envelope covers I made for the pillows, put a rust colored one, that I made from a tablecloth, on another one and added 2 leaf fabric pillows I made from place mars.....
I love this Fall throw on the sofa....
In the corner by my Seasonal Tree....
In the Summer, I decided to hang this swag like chandy above the Tree for more light....
I added some orange LED lights to the Tree.....
I used a gold beaded garland and hung copper, brown and gold ornaments more inside the Tree for background color.....
Then I added the ornaments I collected over many years....
Some I made.....
And some I bought.....
I went all out with the topper for this Tree this year.....
I added these pretty velvet pumpkin branches that I bought in Dollar General to it this year.....
I added the bow I made from 3 different ribbons....
New this year, since I am trying to decorate with Intention, which is my Word of the Year....
And that was my gold candle ornaments...... 
I left out some of the decorations I only used previously for Christmas......
Since there is a lot of glitz and glam on this Tree, I thought the candle ornaments would add to that....
I am happy with how the Tree looks for Fall this year.....
I leave out the platform, made by my Dad for me 48 years ago, year round.....
Three sweet Bearington Bears that were gifted to me by my late friend Anne Marie....
I placed in the "Little Red Racer" wagon that was my late neighbor Elly's....
The signs came from Dollar General....
I did change the Pumpkin Patch under this Tree up a bit this year.....
New this year is a stacked pumpkin topiary, from Dollar Tree, that I embellished a few years ago and freshened up this year.....
I added a set of fairy lights to it that come on by timer....
You can see there is a large gold bottle brush tree, trying to hide the receptacle....
I embellished all these pumpkins many years ago.....
I used half of a red tree collar around the bottom......
Pumpkins I made out of toilet paper....
Some of the pumpkins are velvet ones.....
A mallard duck that was my late neighbor Elly's....
In the center.....
I used a Dollar Tree tray to place these pumpkins and a Dollar Tree candle on....
That is a gold tablecloth covering the platform that I cut to fit it.....
On the right side.....
I redid this picture that my late husband got for free from one of the stores that was demolished by the tornado that hit the shopping center next to my house in 2018.....
An arrangement I did in a yard sale wagon.....
On the side of the platform......
And that is how my Seasonal Living Room Tree and the Pumpkin Patch underneath it looks this year for Fall...
I have been working in my Powder Room over the very rainy weekend caused by the Nor Easter brushing our area.....
My heart goes out to those who suffered coastal flooding on the Eastern seaboard because of it.....
I have finished my Spooky Halloween Dining Room....
I will be finishing up my tour of the Living Room decorated in an Elegant Autumn theme in my next post on THURSDAY!!
So I hope you will stop by to visit again as I have a lot to share for Falloween!!
