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!!!!

Spooky Halloween Dining Room Tree and More...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!

 
I am so happy you decided to stop by!!
 
 
 
ANNOUNCEMENT
 
I am now posting 3 times a week !!!
 
 I will be posting on TUESDAY, THURSDAY and SATURDAY
 
With the beginning of Fall, the HOLIDAY SEASON starts for me....
 
 
I consider the Holiday Season from September until after Easter as I decorate for all the Holidays and Seasons in between those months....

So I usually have a lot to share....

 As always, click on each picture if you would like to enlarge it....
 
 
 Today, I will be sharing my Halloween Tree and the rest of the Halloween decorations in the Dining Room.....

 
In my last post, I shared the Tray that I put together as I participated in the Welcome Autumn Home Decor on a Tray Blog Tour hosted by Katherine, over at Katherine's Corner!

 

 

 

 

 Click HERE if you missed that post and would also like to see the Autumn Trays that the other participants shared.......


I want to Thank Lynne, over at My Family Thyme, for choosing my post, Whimsical Halloween Kitchen and Some Crafting, as one of her features from last week's Tuesday Turn About Linky Party!!

Thanks so much, Lynne!!

Please stop by and link up to this lovely 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.....
 
This week we got 3 beef lasagna dinners....
 

 It was so good!!!
 
I worked over the past 2 days in the back yard and patio....
 
I pulled out all the annuals and cut back the perennials....
 
 
3 large garbage bags worth!!
 
Then I cleaned and packed up all the patio accessories and garden art, scrubbed both sides of the 2 garden mats that I had on the concrete on the Patio, stacked up all my pots and swept everything....








I did not fold up the green table and chair yet as I may do a paint project or two outside of the weather permits....

Otherwise, it will  stay like this until the beginning of November when we move everything against the back of the house and cover it with tarps for the Winter.....


Today I will be finishing my Tour of the Dining Room decorated for Halloween.....
 
Again, I will start where I left off...... 

In this corner of the Dining Room, is my Halloween Tree.... 
 
 
 
On the floor......
 

 
 I made this last year out of a pumpkin that I placed Dollar Tree Witch's legs into a floral arrangement....
 
 
 
On a pedestal next to the table that the Tree is on.....

 
 
 
 A lantern with a spider on top...
 
 





On the vintage window hanging between the Dining Room and the Living Room....

I bought the signs all at Dollar Tree.....


You may remember that I bought this unfinished haunted house recently....


Then painted it and embellished it with a Halloween ribbon......





My Halloween Tree.....




I used a bow that I made from 3 different ribbons as the topper and tucked a leaf floral pick into the top of the Tree....


Remember the Witch's Hat garland that I bought recently in J.C. Penney's?


I added it to this silver Tree that already had a black leaf garland on....



There is a mixture of hand made ornaments and store bought ones on this Tree....








I made the tree skirt from fabric I had.....



A silver mercury glass pumpkin in the middle....


Halloween peat pots that I made a few years back......


The leaf lights are from Dollar Tree.....


On the right side of the Tree....
 

A birdcage that I painted black and placed in a vintage milk glass bowl......


A silver skull is inside the birdcage......


Another set of leaf lights from Dollar Tree......


On top of the marble topped plant stand....

 
A boney hand and foot.....





 

I hung skeleton ornaments from the sconces....

 
Potion bottles that I made on the shelf........

In the corner by the Kitchen....

 This is the cemetery area....

On a shelf next to the curio....


Tombstones......


I changed the floral arrangement in my Funeral Basket for Halloween...

I added Dollar Tree skeleton arm salad tongs to it.....

On the table at the base of the funeral basket.....


A skeleton in a paper mache coffin that I embellished....


An antique Funeral card.......

 


On top of the curio....

A tombstone and an orange mercury glass pumpkin.....

My skeleton with bat wings candlebra.......

Edgar Allen Poe......


And my Ode to Poe.....

"Quoth the Raven Nevermore"

I framed this graphic that I found online....



I bought this typewriter at Ross for Less several years ago....


" Once upon a Midnight Deary"


Another graphic that I framed and a vintage clock that I embellished and set the time at Midnight!





I had so much fun decorating the Dining Room for Halloween this year as I did change up things a bit!!!







And I hope you enjoyed seeing it all!!

In my next post on SATURDAY, I will be sharing how I added a few pink and black Halloween decorations to my Powder Room this year......






So I hope you will stop by to visit again on SATURDAY!!!

  1. The lasagna looks delicious and your tree is so cute. I had to skim through the photos today because it is day 2 of 3 that we have way too many enclosed grandchildren of varying ages due to school conference days. What a mad house.

  2. That tray is so pretty! And well done on your porch. I've so much to do here and lacking the energy yet to do much of it -- time is running out before it gets too cold. Haven't had lasagna in ages -- it looks great!

  3. I just started putting out fall stuff. Love your tray and decorated silver tree. You have just reminded me to get my patio clean. Send some of your energy over to me by subliminal message, geesh I feel lazy.

  4. You have the most fun and stylish Halloween decor I think I've ever seen Deb! I need to clean up our back porch area this weekend, thanks for the motivation to get to it. Have a blessed day!

  5. Hope you are keeping well Debbie. Not a lot of gardening going on here either, I've already moved a lot of items into the garage for winter storage, just a few more to go. We had a day of rain and wind and lots of the trees are looking more bare. It is really Fall weather now. Have a wonderful weekend.
