DEBBIE-DABBLE BLOG: Nelson Crest at Halloween, 2026

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!!!!

Nelson Crest at Halloween, 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....

In my last post, I shared some Halloween crafting that I did....

And probably one of the last Sunsets from my front porch before the Sun starts setting to the side of my row of townhouses...

Click HERE if you missed that post!!

I want to THANK my blogger friend from NJ, Andrea, over at the Cottage Market for choosing my blog post, Labor Day Family Celebration and a Fall Frolic, as one of her features from last week's A Morning Cup of Joe Link Party!!!!

She also liked the Centerpieces I made for the Fall Frolic!!

Thanks so much, Andrea!!

THANK YOU to Cindy, over at Country Roads 407, for not only choosing to feature my blog post, Halloween Haul and Crafts, but also my Header picture, from last week's Farmhouse Friday Link Party!!

And THANK YOU Cindy for these sweet words!!

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...

It's SATURDAY, so where have I gone and what have I been up to???

Well, the only place I went this week was to a meeting up at my church....

All week, I have been changing over my LR to Fall, which usually takes me 6-7 days...

I had hoped to share part of it in this post but because of dew points that were in the mid 70's, which is tropical and oppressive, I could not get up in the attic to get my LR Fall tubs down...

So I continued cleaning, polishing furniture, packing up regular decor and changing curtains/drapes and linens...

For the next week, temps will be in the high 60's ( PRAISE THE LORD) so today I will actually start the decorating...

Luckily, since Labor Day was so darn late, I did try to get a head start on my Falloween decorating and did decorate Nelson Crest, which is usually the last thing I decorate and the last post in my annual Falloween Home Tour...

So today, I am sharing Nelson Crest, my Victorian Doll House, all decked out for Halloween....

This year, my Word of the Year is INTENTION and I have been trying to decorate with the Intention of doing things a bit differently and using what I have....

I usually look back on previous blog posts to see what I did the year before, using those posts as a guide....

This year, with Nelson Crest, I winged it....

So it looks a bit different this year....

I hung the witch at the top of the house....

I put spooky trees on the balcony.....

This Halloween tree usually was displayed in the front yard but it is now on the balcony.....

Same thing with this tree....

Some gargoyles and ghosts....

I hung a Hallmark skeleton, which is an ornament, from the balcony....

The left side yard.....

Trees from my Halloween village that I passed on to my nieces....

A grave yard....

A witch and a basket of apples on the side....

The left front yard....

The front porch.....

Pumpkin topiaries placed on hay bales on each side of the front door....

A scarecrow greets you this year....

Hay bales on the stairs with signs on them

Vintage style Halloween pails for treats, pumpkins and a sweet trio of treat or treating pups....

The right side of the front yard......

A skeleton bench.....

On the side of the house....

The right side yard....

And that is how Nelson Crest looks for Halloween this year.....

I hope you will stop by to visit again on MONDAY for my next post where I hope to start my tour of the Living Room decorated for Fall....

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

And try to find JOY in every single day!

Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
