DEBBIE-DABBLE BLOG: September 2022

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!!!!

I want to Thank Angie, over at God's Growing Garden, for choosing my post, Elegant Autumn Hutch and Entry , as one of her features from last week's Tuesday's with Twist Link Party!!

Thanks so much, Angie!!!

Please stop by and link up to this charming party!!!

And now for a few Personal Notes...

Food of the Week

This week's Reheat and Eat Dinners from the WB Scranton Pens Food Service.....

Joe got this....

The biggest Stuffed Cabbage or Piggy, as it is called here in NEPA, that I ever saw!!!

And Joey got the Garlic & Herb Roasted Chicken Breast with Lemon Pepper Orzo & Grilled Seasonal Vegetables

For Dinner the other day, I made Joey chopped sirloin patties on the Georgie that I seasoned with Steak seasoning....

I topped them with mushrooms....

Joe has been buying Price Chopper gravy which is quite good and nice and thick....how we like it...

I then topped them with mushroom gravy.....

Joey loves them done this way...

And I made a package of Knorr Wisconsin Cheese potatoes to go with the sirloin patties....

I passed on this as I am not a big beef eater....

I made this for myself....

Next Tuesday, I will be doing a post revealing something I have been doing since June 1st....

I hope you will come back then to hear all about it!!!

Today, I am continuing my Fall/Halloween Tour for 2022 and we are moving into the Kitchen....

The Kitchen has both Fall and Halloween decorations in different areas....

Today, I am sharing the areas decorated for Fall.....

We will start here by the sink area....

On the side of the stove...

As I have mentioned many times before, I decorate the area where the Kitchen window once was, before we made the Patio into the Den, as if it is still a window....

I hung a Dollar Tree sign that I embellished last year over the sign that normally hangs here...

And a Fall leaf swag above it....

Last year, I made these ornaments out of Dollar Tree leaves and trucks...

I hung them from the chandy that I made...

On the side of the cabinets are Dollar Tree signs that I embellished.....

I hung a valance I made from a tablecloth and Dollar Tree signs....

"Home Sweet Home"

On the other side....

On the window sill.....

A scarecrow I made from a can....

A new Dollar Tree sign hung on the soffit....

A wreath that I made...

In the corner....

The Beverage Center....

Another Dollar Tree sign that I embellished....

My Fall Mugs....

Joe's Pittsburgh Steeler and Penguins mugs....

2 Sunflower ones and 2 large plain white ones that me DIL, Danielle, gave me....

A plaid Fall colored place mat....

Vintage Fiesta ware bowls and a platter....

My flavored teas, coffees and hot cocoa!!

Fall towels and my Hen rugs....

The top of the refrigerator....

This is my Candy Corn display....

Something new this year...

My friend Anne Marie gifted me this darling lighted tree last year...

I bought the candy corn colored bottle brush trees in Dollar Tree this year.....

I filled a canning jar with assorted candy corn candy....

And added a floral arrrangement to a Dollar Tree orange glass vase....

And placed a pumpkin Joe bought on Clearance in Bed, Bath and Beyond last year on a yellow pedestal....

Refrigerator magnets on the fridge...

On the side of the counter bar.....

The Counter Bar....

I hung a tussie mussie I made....

I hung yet another Dollar Tree sign over my Galley sign....

I changed the garland to a leaf garland....

And added plaid bows to it..

I embellished these Dollar Tree pumpkins last year....

This year, I placed them in my vintage fiesta ware tea cups and saucers....

A plaid runner and I cut to fit a Dollar Tree door mat to use here on the counter....

I placed it under an acrylic board because this is where I put the dishes that I take out of the microwave which is down below...

I made the cafe curtain from a tablecloth....

On the side ....

Another new Dollar Tree sign with cinnamon scented brooms on each side that I may also embellish!!

An enamel sign that was bought at Big Lot's a few years ago....

A Dollar Tree sign that I embellished...

I made this valances from the Sunflowers curtains that I cut to fit in the places where I wanted to use them for in the Late Summer....

I kept it up and added a few things to dress it up....

I hang a valance here as it acts as a buffer from the change in colors painted in the hall way and the Kitchen.....

And that finishes up the Fall decorated areas of my Kitchen.....

I hope you will stop by to visit again on SATURDAY when I will be sharing the Halloween decorated areas of the Kitchen.....

Along with my Halloween Kitchen Tree....

Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!

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