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!!!!

Any one for Tea??, Dining Room, 2026

 

 

 

 


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....
 
 
 PINTEREST
 
If you would like to Pin my pictures, please click on them to enlarge them to do so....
 
 
 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....

 Thanks to Andrea, over at The Cottage Market, for choosing my post, "Under the Seas Tree and Beach", as one of her features from last week's A Morning Cup of Tea Link Party!!

 

 
 Thanks again, Andrea!!
 
Please stop by and link up to this wonderful party!! 
 
  
 And now for a few Personal Notes...
 
 
 For the New Year, I am trying something different with my 3 times weekly posts.... 
 
On THURSDAYS, I will feature what I cooked and ate during the week, showcasing local cuisine and a few recipes for things that I actually made...
 
  
  
I decided that on SATURDAYS, I will showcase What I Have Been Up To in the past week, sharing events and places I went to, if any.... 
  

 
On MONDAYS, I will be featuring What I Have Bought or Been Gifted Recently, if anything... 
 
 
 
 This past Wednesday was our Monthly Young at Heart Senior Social Club meeting.....
 
Lucy; Secretary, Rita ; Vice President and Rosemary; Treasurer.... 
 
 
Enjoying pizza and some goodies....
 




 
Our speaker was a local man, Fred, who is the facilitator of one of the national Grief Share programs in our area...
 


 Our parish is partnering with this Grief Share program to offer help and support to those in our parish who have lost loved ones....
 
 It was another enjoyable and informative meeting and I am happy I got to spend the day with friends as it also would have been my 48th wedding anniversary.....
 
 
 Today, I will be finishing up my tour of how the Dining Room is decorated in a Tea Room theme for the Summer.....
 
I will start where I left off in my last post..... 
  
This is the soffit  between the Dining Room and the Living Room.....
 
 
 
 I display my Guardian Angel plate collection here.....
 
 
 



 This is the top of a small cabinet I bought at a flea market for $5......
  
 
  
These Victorian houses were gifted to me by a reader of my Blogs.... 
 

The rose cloche was a gift from my son Jim and his family....


I placed it in a vintage milk glass bowl.....


This cabinet is against the Living Room chair, separating the Dining Room from the Living Room.....

 
In the corner, there is a round table that was set up after Easter.........


I hung some plaques I made on the vintage windows I hung as room dividers.... 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Where my 6 ft. pencil thin Tree stands from Fall to after Easter....
 
  
 
My late husband Joe gifted me this clock from J.C. Penney's.... 
 
 
 
 I ordered the lamp shade many years ago, from an eBay store, for this vintage lamp.....
 
 
 
  
 
  
 
My maternal Grandmother is the one on the left in this picture.....


More of my Thomas Kinkade Pink Ladies honoring Breast Cancer Awareness...




Friends sharing a cup of Tea....
 

This mini tea set was a gift from a friend....

 
 

I bought that picture at a flea market so they are what I call " Instant Relatives"....


Another Pink Lady.... 



On a marble topped plant stand next to the table.....
  
 
 
 Another gift from my son Jim, a Flower under a cloche, that I placed in a vintage white milk glass compote bowl.... 
 
 
 
 Home Interiors dove figurines.....
 
 
 
 
 The wall behind the dining table.....
 
 
 The large Home Interiors picture is titled, " May I Play"....
 
 Vintage tea cups and saucers...
 
 

 
 In the corner by the Kitchen.... 
 
 
 
 

 A white and gold cardinal and a pink mercury glass votive candle holder....
 
 
 
 The vintage funeral basket was gifted to me by my late friend Anne Marie....
 
  
 
 I do Seasonal and Holiday arrangements in it...

 
 
 
  
 
  
  
 
 
 On top of the curio that was once my late neighbor Elly's....
 
 
 
Tea cups and saucers on the scale.... 
 

 
The top half of the Curio...
 

My son Jim and his family gifted me this beautiful tea pot for Mother's Day this year.....



I put it inside the curio to protect it and so I can see it everyday when we eat dinner ....


The bottom half of the Curio.....

 
 
 

On the cabinet that my Dad built for me to match Joe's grandmother's Dining Room furniture that we inherited.....
  
 

 
 
On the left side....
 
 

 

Another Pink Lady....
 
 
 
 I decorated this Victorian style Feather Tree with mini tea cup and tea pot ornaments....
 

 
 
  
 
 

On the other side.... 
 
 
 

One more Pink Lady....


 
 
 
 And that is the end of my tour of the Dining Room decorated in a Tea Room style for late Summer....

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