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!!!!

Valentine's Cupid's Cafe, Hutch and Much More in the Dining Room, 2025

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 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.....
 
 I feel it is a personal Journal that, hopefully, someday, my Twin Granddaughters will be able to look back on to learn about who I was.... 

I will be posting 3 times a week on MONDAYS, THURSDAYS and SATURDAYS....
 

As always, click on each picture if you would like to enlarge it....

 A NOTE ABOUT COMMENTS
 
I enjoy reading your comments and will return the favor by visiting and commenting on your blog or reply to you directly here if you do not have a blog but I do have my comment section set to Moderation due to spammers and hackers so your comment will not appear immediately...
And since I have a very busy life, like most of us do, it may take me awhile to return your comments but I promise I will....

 In my last post, I shared my Winter Beverage Bar....


 

 And the counter bar decorated for Winter....

 

 

Completing my tour of the Kitchen decorated for Winter.....

 Click HERE if you missed that post!!


 And now for a few Personal Notes...
 

Well, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow here in Pa. on Sunday morning....

 
 Meaning 6 more weeks of Winter....
 
For the last few years, we enjoy watching all the festivities before Phil's prediction...

 
It is quite a crazy time, filled with a lot of tongue in cheek humor....

Joe and Joey stopped at Punxsutawney a few years back on their way home from their annual trip to Pittsburgh to see a Pens hockey game...

They were very impressed by this quaint little town and the close to 40 "Phil's that are scattered about the town...
 

 
Joey described it as a weird little town but in the best possible way!!!

Click HERE if you would like to see that post....


And Winter is definitely not over here in NEPA as we got about an inch and a half of snow last evening....



It melted away quickly as it got up to 40 degrees by the afternoon...

Another storm coming on Thursday....
 
 
 Today, I will be starting my tour of the Dining Room decorated for Valentine's/Heart Month...
 
 
 
I prefer to celebrate Heart month instead of Valentine's Day, honoring my Dad who passed away in February of a massive myocardial infraction...a heart attack...

I decorated the buffet in the Dining Room in a Cupid's Cafe theme....
 

 
 But first, let me show you the wall to the left of the buffet....
 
 
 
 
 
 A Dollar Tree sign that I embellished....
 
 
 
 A Valentine's Angel that was given to me by a friend....

 
 
 
 
 
 I expanded a bit on my Valentine's Cafe theme that I did last year....
 
 
 
 I left the branch Tree here and decorated it with white snowflakes and Valentine's cards that I embellished....







All faux candies, cupcakes and candies....

I just bought the Cupid's Cafe sign in Dollar Tree....

I made the Valentine's candy jar a few years ago....

More faux cupcakes and candies...

The boxes of candy and pretzel are ornaments....

I taped the signs that I printed out last year onto the picture....

I made the Valentine's muffin pan last year...

A Snowman tea pot....

The Latte signs are from Dollar Tree....

I bought the Hot Cocoa carrier in Big Lot's last year....



More faux goodies.....






 
 A Valentine's dish filled with Conversation Hearts....
 
 
 
 
 
 Hanging on the buffet.....
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The small curio between the buffet and the hutch....
 
 
 

On the shelf above the curio....
 
 
 
 On top of the curio....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 






The hutch......


Top of the hutch.....




Vintage Valentine's cards that I framed using gold cards....


The vintage Valentine's card was my late neighbor Elly's....



The Valentine's bottles were gifted to me by my friend Anne Marie....





I left the red transferware in the hutch from Christmas....


And added a few Valentine's items....


Top shelf...
 
 
A cupid compote....


Middle shelf...
 
 
 
 A hand made Valentine's card.....
 
 
 
Bottom shelf....
 
 
 
 
 
 I  added a Valentine's gingerbread house ....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Valentine's signs....
 
 
 
I left the trees here after Christmas....

 
 
 Hung gingerbread ornaments on them....
 
 
 
 I bought the gingerbread house before Christmas but I have not had time to add a few hearts to it for Valentine's like I did with the larger one in the hutch...
 

 
 I used the 2 gingerbread trees in the Kitchen for Christmas...

 
 And this is where I will leave off for today.....

In my next post on THURSDAY, I will finish my tour of the Dining Room decorated for Valentine's...
 

 
 
 
 Including how I decorated the new Tree that I bought for Christmas, for Valentine's....





So I hope you will stop by to visit again on THURSDAY....  
 
 
 Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!
