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!!!!

Victorian Romance in the Dining Room, 2017

Welcome!!

This is a post I had planned on doing before I decorated for Halloween but never got around to it...

So I thought since I had all the photos taken, I would do it now and show you how our Dining Room changed when decorated for Halloween, before I decorate it for Christmas......

But first, I want to Thank Stacey over at Embracing Change, for featuring my post, An Evening Fall/Halloween Tour, from last week's Creative Inspirations Linky Party!!!

Thanks so much, Stacey!!

Please stop by and link up to this great party!!

I also want to Thank Gail, over at Purple Hues and Me, for choosing my post, A Halloween Funeral Basket, Poe and Pumpkins, as one of her features from the Halloween Blog Hop!!

Thanks so much, Gail!!

For Halloween inspiration for next year, please stop by and pin some of the links from the Halloween Blog Hop !!

If you have visited here before, you know that I always say I am a Victorian soul but I live in a townhouse built in the 1970's.....

My Dream House to live in would be a Queen Anne Victorian with a huge front porch....

Maybe in my next lifetime...

So in this lifetime, I have made our little townhouse into what I call my own Victorian Bed and Breakfast......

My Dining Room is the room that I think is the most Victorian looking.....

As I mentioned before, I will be sharing how the Dining Room looked for most of the Summer without any type of Holiday decorations........

And then comparing it to how it changed, decorated for Halloween.....

We will start in this corner of the Dining Room......

It took on a totally different look for Halloween......

I am going to let the photos do most of the talking......

The buffet......

My " Quote the Raven Nevermore" Halloween buffet.....

More of a romantic look.......

This is one of 2 stained glass sun catchers that I bought in Gabes in the Summer for $5.00 each.....

I hung them on the window dividers that separate the Dining Room and Living Room.........

This week, Halloween will be packed away for another year and the Dining Room will once again be transformed for Christmas.......

This is the last post that I will be posting here on this blog until after the Christmas Holiday Season.....

My next post will be posted over on my Christmas Blog, A Debbie-Dabble Christmas.......

I will be posting links here on this blog to all of my Christmas posts over on my Christmas blog.....

So I hope you will be back to visit again soon as I begin the Christmas Season of 2017 with a visit to Boscov's to see what they are offering for this Holiday season!!

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