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!!!!

Babies, My Moss Rose Collection and Angels in the Dining Room, 2024

 

 

 

 

 


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.....
 
  Joe would want me to continue doing what I love to do so with that being said.....
 
I am going to start posting again on a regular schedule.....

I will be posting on MONDAYS and THURSDAYS....

And when I can, I will add a Saturday Snippets post on SATURDAYS...

 In my last post, I shared my Tea Room Buffet in the Dining Room......


 
 
 

  Click HERE if you missed that post!!


 And now for a few Personal Notes...
 

 

My identical Twin Grand Daughters turned 7 months old on the 29th......

  

Lily and Gigi

 

 

They are getting so big.....

 

 

 

 

    

 


 And look at them sitting up by themselves!!!

 They just melt my heart.....

 

 This is all over You Tube on decor video's right now...


 It has always been my philosophy!!

“The rule of decorating is: buy what you love to look at, what you love to live with. And throw it all together and it'll work because you love it” 

A quote from Betsey Johnson, maximalist queen.

In her 80's Betsy Johnson is popular again for her style!!


And with that being said, I will continue my Tour of the Dining Room, my most Victorian looking room, decorated for Summer in a Tea Room theme.....



 I will start where I left off in my previous post, at the Hutch.....
 
 
 
 I also want to mention that my Dining Room furniture was Joe's Maternal Grandmother's and his Uncle refinished it in a fruitwood stain as it was originally done in a blond finish....
 
The top of the Hutch....


 
 
 
 I bought the lamps many years ago at a yard sale for $1.00 each and I bought the crystals that I added to them on Ebay.....

 
 The Victorian Ladies are from Home Interiors.....
 
This is a picture of my paternal grandparents who were immigrants from Poland, Adam and Agnes Kolojejchick.....
 
 
 
 The miniature Victorian houses were gifted to me by a reader of my Blog several years ago.....

 
 
 The pictures in the smaller frame is of my Grandmother and Great Grandmother on the left side and my Mother and my Grandmother on the right side..... 
 
Another Home Interiors Victorian Lady.....
 
 
 
 

Last year, I took the glass doors off the Hutch when I decorated it in an Apothecary Cabinet theme for Halloween......

 I do not think I will ever put them back on because I do like it a lot better without the doors as you can see what is inside much better.......

 
 
 For the Summer, I moved my Moss Rose Collection back into the Hutch.....

 
 If you want to read more about how I acquired it , please click HERE....
 
 
I also displayed my collection of Indiana Glass Colony Park Lane Clear Ruby Red Flash Vintage Glassware 

 
The top shelf....


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The middle shelf..... 
 
 
 
 
  

 
 
 
 The bottom shelf.....
 
 



 

 
 
 
 On the side of the Hutch.....
 
 
 
 Hanging on the vintage window that I use as a room divider.....

Are two plaques that I made......

 
 
 
 I made a small table out of a pedestal and a hat box......
 
 
I placed a brass candelabra that I painted pink on top of it.....

 
 
 
 The pink votive glasses are from Home Interiors.....

 

 Vintage china....
 
 
 
 The pink topper was bought on Ebay about 10 years ago ...
 
 

The hand crafted white topper is vintage.....
 
 I also collect Angels and have a collection of Guardian Angel plates.....
 
 

I hung them on the soffit.....


 
 
 
 

And this is where I will leave off for today.......


In my next post on SATURDAY for Saturday Snippets, I will be finishing up the Tour of the Dining Room Decorated in a Tea Room theme.....

So I hope you will stop by to visit again on SATURDAY!!!
 
 Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!
