DEBBIE-DABBLE BLOG: Books, Birds and Transfer Ware, Part 1!!!

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!!!!

Books, Birds and Transfer Ware, Part 1!!!

I have been slowly working at returning the house back to normal.........

That means putting away all Holiday and Seasonal decorations and getting out my "normal" things!!!

I have been "dabbling" in the Den..........

You may remember that the China Cupboard looked like this for Christmas.......

And like this for Winter......

And like this for St. Patrick's Day......

It was time to put my Red and Blue Transfer Ware back on display......

The Den has an English Country Style going on with a color theme of ivory, burgundy and blue so I decided to use some birds and bird cages......

Books.....

And Transfer Ware to decorate with!!

I am going to share this in 3 different posts.

Today, I am going to show you the top of the China Cupboard.......

I had some blue and white ornaments that I did not use on the Christmas Tree in this room so I decided to display them here........

I hung one from the candlestick........

Some Transfer Ware pieces.......

This is a Home and Garden Picture but I think it has a Thomas Kinkade feel to it......

Some books........

The photo is of my Mother as a young child......

See another blue and white ornament that I hung from the frame.......

And a blue bird......

A Home Interiors Victorian Lady.......

And a vintage camera.......

A Tea Cup and Saucer.......

My Thomas Kinkade Calendar.......

I have different Thomas Kinkade plates for every month for this calendar.....

Hanging on each side of the china cupboard.........

A decorative chimney flute cover.......

A basket with a floral arrangement of blue hydrangeas and burgundy roses.......

The bow is made from script ribbon bought at Sam's Club on Clearance after Christmas 2 years ago.......

And this is how the top of the china cupboard will look until the Fall........

In Part 2, I will show you the inside of the china board.........

So I hope you will come by and visit again!!

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