DEBBIE-DABBLE BLOG

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!!!!

I want to share how I decorated Nelson Crest, my Victorian Doll House, for the Summer Patriotic Holidays.......

We will take a look at the second floor balcony first.......

The balcony is off of Mr. and Mrs.'s Nelson's bedroom.......

Patriotic buntings decorate the house.......

Along with flags which are actually for cupcakes!!!

I decided to place the Patriotic wreath that I made on the door on the balcony because you can see it better up here.......

There are stars and firecrackers on the wreath......

The yard on the left side.............

I still need to paint the white foam that I have the flowering shrubs stuck in to........

A flag proudly displayed on a flag pole adorns the yard........

Flower pots and garden art in the front yard.......

Flags and firecrackers decorate the front porch......

You can see that the Dairy just delivered milk and eggs.......

The urns filled with flowers are new.......

I bought them for $1.00 each in Dollar General!!

The left side of the yard.....

A wheelbarrow filled with flowers, flower pots and garden art.......

And also a lamp post.....

The side yard on the left.....

Nelson Crest will stay like this all Summer until it is time to decorate it for Halloween........

I hope you enjoyed seeing Nelson Crest and were transported back to another time.....

I lied when I said that this was my last Patriotic post for this Season.....

In my next post, I will be sharing how all my Patriotic decorations look all lit up in the evening......

So I hope you will be back to visit again soon.......

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