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!!!!

New Fall/Halloween Haul and More, Saturday Snippets

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.....
 
  Joe would want me to continue doing what I love to do so with that being said.....
 
I am going to start posting again on a regular schedule.....

I will be posting on MONDAYS and THURSDAYS....

And when I can, I will add a Saturday Snippets post on SATURDAYS...

Welcome to Saturday Snippets!!
 
In my last post, I continued my Tour of the Kitchen decorated for early Summer in a Hens & Roos theme with several Bee items thrown in for good measure....

 

 

 

  Click HERE if you missed that post!! 
 
 
 I want to THANK Andrea, over at The Cottage Market, for choosing my post, A Big Project and a Big Decision, as one of her features from last week's A Morning Cup of Joe Link Party!!!
 
 

 

  Thanks so much, Andrea!!!
 
Please stop by and link up to this charming party!!
 
 
 
 And now for a few Personal Notes...
 

After I finished my paint projects in the Living Room, I decorated it for Late Summer in my "Under the Sea" theme....



 I love how my Seasonal Tree "pops" against my newly painted faux brick/stone wall....
 
 I will be sharing more in future posts....
 
 
The temps and humidity finally dropped a bit yesterday so I took advantage and got some much needed yard work done in the front yard....
 
Just a few Snippets.....
 

 
 
I even changed what I have under the park bench....




Again, more garden updates in future posts.....


It's been quite some time since I did a post about a Haul.....

I have bought a few things recently so we will start in Gabes.....

I bought a new mini flag for the Patriotic Summer Holidays for $3.99 to use in the front of the house....

A lot of my flags faded a bit in the Sun so I donated them to a church  that will be holding a Flea Market in August...

I also bought a new Patriotic mailbox cover for $6.99, for my faux mailbox that I keep garden tools inside of out front.....

Gabes is starting to get Fall and Halloween merchandise in......... 

I made several trips there to see what they were putting out because you have to grab it when you see it there or it will be gone.....

I loved these great skull mugs.....

" Clear Pearl Luster Skull Mugs".....

These are made from a heavy glass and were $6.99......

I also bought 4 of these Halloween dessert plates at $1.49 each......

On my next trip there I found these Halloween mugs and Fall place mats.....

These were $4.99 each......

I loved this set of 6 copper pumpkin place mats for $8.99......

I earned a $5 off $25 reward so on my next trip, I bought this Fall leaf garland for only $7....

 
Comparable ones sell close to $19.99 in other stores.....

You know me with my Beverage area in the Kitchen,,,,

These were $5 each, so one was free with the coupon......


Next up is Dollar Tree which are just putting out their Fall/Halloween Merch.....

Now how could I resist these signs for my Kitchen.....

And I feel one never has enough bottle brush trees.....

Love these Candy Corn like ones...

And these orange glittered ones which will join the ones I bought last year and used in the Dining Room.....

Loved these wood leaves which can be used as ornaments on my Autumn Tree in the Living Room.....

And this berry garland can be used anywhere....

I think I will go back to pick up some red berry garland that can be used year round in my Kitchen or in Patriotic decor....

Now as I have said numerous times, I am NOT an Amazon Shopper and do not even have an account of my own....

I know what a disgrace especially being a Blogger!!!

But my son Joey does and he frequently gifts me Amazon Gift Cards so I am very familiar with the site.....

Because of Amazon Prime Days, I was curious to see if some of the things listed in my favorite You Tuber's and Blogger's Amazon Storefronts were on sale....

Which led me to these candles.....


These are 2 inch by 2 inch and are timer controlled by a remote....

I was specifically looking for ones that had a remote for a project that I have in mind.....


 The flame on them was exactly what I was looking for....
 
I asked Joey to order these for $18 on Amazon Prime Day but they are now back up to $23....

I love them!!

I actually went to Dollar Tree looking for glass votives to use with these candles
when I stumbled upon them unpacking their Fall/Halloween Merch....
 
 I bought these.....

 
 5 of them.....

I love how the candles look in them.....


Let's just say that what I have in mind for them involves a chandy.....

Stay tuned......


One of my favorite You Tubers is Arlynn

You may remember that I ordered this set of lamps after seeing them in her Amazon Store Front.....

I have been debating about buying these little cardigans that she wears all the time...

Arlynn is on a weight loss journey, like I have been on, and likes to wear something like this over tops, especially sleeveless ones, as she does not feel comfortable showing her upper arms...

I feel the same way and never wear anything sleeveless in public....

I bought this one in Black for only $14.99


Along with this one in navy blue  also for $14.99......


 I love the way they fit and the ruffled bottom and they are made in a light weight jersey fabric which is perfect for the Summer.....

They are now back up to regular prices of $19 and $20....


One of my favorite "Shop with Me" You Tubers is Crystal, The Queen....

I always know what is out in the stores, especially in the way of Seasonal decor, from watching her videos!!!

 

I hope you enjoyed seeing my latest Haul......

In my next post on MONDAY, I will be finishing up my Tour of the Kitchen decorated for Early Summer..... 

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

  1. Those dessert plates!! I love them. I guess it is a good idea we don't live near a Gabe's. I would buy the lot. Perfect for Halloween. I love all the treasures you found but especially those plates!!!

    1. Linda,
      Thanks so much for your visit!! The stores need to put out Halloween and even Christmas items for the Carftors , who are now creating all their crafts for the upcoming Holiday season as seasonal craft fairs start around here right after Labor Day and even before that.... I hope you are staying cool!!
      Hugs
      Deb

  3. Hi Debbie, Wow great deals. I like the Halloween things you found. The cardigans are very nice too! We don't have a Gabes here. Probably luck thing.(-: I am looking for a poison apple cookie jar. I found one on etsy, but am still deciding. Have a great Sunday!

  5. I have those same little jackets - I buy them on Amazon and just the other day they were on sale on Prime Days. I have a white one, lite blue and just bought a black one. They’re great!
    I’m so sick of hot weather - looking forward to Fall.
