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!!!!

Early Summer Hutch in the Living 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 what my little Back Yard Cottage Garden looks like in Mid Summer with some of the early blooming perennials cut back....

I want to Thank Barb, over at French Ethereal, for choosing my post, Present and Past Fairy and Gnome Gardens, as one of her features from last week's Share Your Style Link Party!!


 
Thanks so much, Barb!!
 
Please stop by and link up to this charming party!!! 


 And now for a few Personal Notes...
 

Since Joe passed away, I keep finding Pennies on the ground just about everywhere including the strangest places...

I was doing some weeding the other day at my neighbor Ed's house which is 3 doors down from me.

 I walked up the side walk once, taking equipment I needed, and I swear I did not see anything but on the way back to my house, I saw a penny on the sidewalk right in front of another neighbor's house....

 

Again, an odd place to find a penny...

So I added this 1970 copper penny to my bird bath to help inhibit algae growth in it....

Supposedly, pennies pre 1982 have a higher copper content that helps with preventing algae formation...

 

I am still under the weather and just can not seem to shake whatever this GI virus is....

If I do not feel better soon, I will be getting in contact with my physician...

 

Today, I am going to share what the Hutch in my Living Room looks like during the Summer....

I have not decorated it with any Seasonal decorations for the Summer...

What I did do was add some Cherubs and Butterflies.......

The top of the Hutch.... 

I hung butterflies from the greenery that hangs above the antique mantel mirror....

Gold cherubs and a metal butterfly.....

And a book in the background....

A floral swag and a vintage cross that belonged to my Mother is in the center....




And the right side mirrors the left.....




An Angel ornament hangs in the center....

 I do apologize in advance as this Hutch is very hard to take pictures of because of the mirrors and glitz inside of it...

My white Angel Collection graces the inside of the Hutch.....

The top shelf.....

I added more cherubs and vintage aqua glassware... 

The beautiful mantel clocks that holds my late husband Joe's ashes...... 

I have Joe's prayer card along with my late friend Anne Marie's pray card displayed in front of it...

I have candles that come on by timer on each shelf....


The middle shelf.....

I am keeping the Angel ceramic tree, that I bought at Christmas, in the Hutch, that was Joe's grandmother's, year round.... 


The candles on this shelf were placed in gold mercury glass vases that Anne Marie gifted me.....


The crystal sugar and creamer set with a tray was Joe's grandmother's....


The bottom shelf.....

I have also displayed several Iris Herringbone depression glass tumblers on the shelves...

A vintage aqua glass decanter set...

The gold mercury glass votive were also gifted to me by Anne Marie.....

The Hutch will stay like this all Summer until I decorate it for Autumn in September....

I took these pictures quickly this morning when none of the candles and other lighting was on since most of it comes on by Timer.....

I will take some pictures of it in the evening and share them in a future post.... 

 

  I hope you will stop by to visit again on SATURDAY for my next post!!   

  
 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!!

  3. I see you got a lot done in spite of not feeling well. It's been a few days so think about getting checked out in case it is something that needs a med. Your gardens, as always, make me smile. You do have a green thumb for sure. Take good care- xo Diana
