Anne Marie's Easter Home Tour, 2022






 

 

 Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!

 
I am so happy you decided to stop by!!
 
Just a reminder, I will be posting on Wednesdays and Sundays every week so be sure to check back on those days to see a new post...... 
 
Today, I will be sharing my dear friend Anne Marie's Home all decked out for Easter.....
 
In my last post, I participated in the Easter on a Tray Blog Tour hosted by Katherine, over at Katherine's Corner....
 

 
 
    
 
 
 

 
 It was so much fun Touring with this great group of ladies....
 
 Click HERE if you missed that post....
 
 
And if you missed my Easter/Spring Home Tour.....

And now for a few Personal Notes...
 

 Food of the Week

I made some meatballs for meatball hoagies on Monday.....
 

 
Joe's hoagie...


It was something different and Joey ate 2 with Mac N Cheese from Sam's Club....

Joe came home with 2 of the Reheat and Eat Dinners from the WB Scranton Penguins Food Service....

 
Beef Stroganoff, which I ate minus the meat...

 
It was really good but I am not a Beef Lover....
 
And Joe ate the sausage hoagie with potatoes and green beans.....


He enjoyed it....

I am going to give you a sneak peek of my patio and back yard project that I started this week....

I spent several hours for 3 days sitting on this step stool and hunched over.....

 
 Yes, my back with 5 compression deformities is killing me but I am very happy with the results....

Before...this was a "Bump Out for an umbrella base....
 
 
 
Now with the patio extended with pavers that my neighbor gave me last year.....
 

The walkway to the shed Before....

 
 I wanted to straighten out the walkway which meant extending the patio over.....
 

 After.....
 

The staggered walkway Before where I have tripped and almost fallen when going to our shed....
 

After, a new straight walkway.....



On the other side.....

Before....


After with the patio extended over to accommodate another umbrella base....


A new walkway to the arbor and fresh red mulch put down in the flower beds....





I will be sharing more of this project in my post on Sunday......


And now, I want to share my dear friend Anne Marie's Easter Home Tour.....

I have shared Anne Marie 's home decorated for the different Holidays for quite some time now as it really is something beautiful to see.....

And for Easter this year, you will not be disappointed.....

We will start at her front door with her Hall Tree....

The descriptions are Anne Marie's own words....

The Hall Tree


The child’s dress was mine from when I was a year old.
 

When I got a little older, I always told my mother this was my cherry dress.
 
 
 
  And to please never get rid of it.
 
Here’s a picture of me in the dress when I was one. 
 
 


 I guess my mother listened to me because after my Dad passed away and I cleaned out the attic and there was the dress!
 

 
 Antique paper mache eggs
 
 
 
 

 

 
The 3 cards in the back are from 1958 from my first Easter.


Antique postcard
 

 Vintage Mattel egg that winds up and plays music


This vintage candy box that’s on the seat of the hall tree is from the Charl-Mont!


 What were the chances of me finding that!
 
 My grandmother worked in that candy department for over 30 years!



The tins are on the seat of a small wooden chair behind the sofa next to the sofa table. 
 
 

 
The 3 bunnies are on the safe table.

  4. Anne Marie's Easter decorations are so cheerful -- all the bunnies, chicks, and eggs. Your backyard project looks great. Summer is just around the corner -- I'm sure you'll enjoy the extended patio and the straight path to the shed.
