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!!!!

Easter Bunny "Mantel" and More, 2025

 

 

 

 

 

 

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....

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
In my last post, I shared how I decorated my main Easter Tree in the Living Room......

 

 

 And Bunny Land under the Tree...

 

  Click HERE if you missed that post!!

 


 And now for a few Personal Notes...
 

On Sunday, we had high winds again, like we seem to have been experiencing almost all Winter...

I guess it was too much for this 45 year old tree in the yard across from me....


The Police and Fire Department response was swift... 


 

  You can see why the tree came down....

Pretty much hollow inside the trunk....

After the fire department cleared the road to make it passable, my neighbor's sons continue to work on removing what they could with their chain saw...


You can see where the trunk just split...
 

There is one more large tree in this yard, that is actually larger than this one....

 It is the one that puts on quite a show of color in the Fall....


 It should be interesting to see if the owner, who rents this house out. will invest in removing it before that one comes down too as these trees were planted 45 years ago by the original owner who dug them out of the woods by us...

Luckily, the tree that fell did not hit the house or a car as there are usually cars parked on the road where this tree fell....


Today, I am going to pick up the tour of my Living Room decorated for Easter right where I left off in my previous post....

At the TV entertainment center....

I mentioned in my last post that I still have to "dabble" with the Dollar Tree egg topiary that I bought....

On the left side of the TV entertainment center is a vintage 3 tiered table....

For Spring/Summer, I changed over the doilies for this table to peach lace ones.....

 I also replaced the Winter runner on top of the TV entertainment center with another lace fringed one just like the one I used on the hutch in the Living Room...

 

 I added a few Easter items to by normal Victorian style decor on this 3 tiered table....


Bunnies and eggs....

A few eggs added here too....



I bought this wood book at a yard sale....


I treat the top of the TV entertainment center as if it was a mantel.....

I keep up the garland here year round and change it for the different Holidays....


 For Easter, I added egg garlands to it....

I hung some greenery that hangs down on each end....

A floral garland was also added.....

I hung Bunny Butts and Bunny Paws ornaments that I made a few years back....


And purple and aqua bows made from deco mesh on each end....

On the right side......

I recently bought the pink bottle brush trees in Gabes.....

 

And these from Dollar Tree, not realizing that these light up!!!

 

The bunny nut cracker was bought at a church flea market....

The lamps came from Amazon.....

I bought the bunnies on each side of the Tree at a church flea market....


I made the bunny in the middle 2 years ago out of a parmesan cheese container.........
 
 


I decorated this 2 ft. gold tinsel Tree for Easter with a set of Egg lights.....


And egg ornaments....
 

And topped it with a purple and aqua deco mesh bow....


The right side.....

More bottle brush trees.....

And another bunny nutcracker.....


In the evening.....

I also decorated the area on the floor in front of the TV entertainment center.....

The gold bunnies in front of the TV were gifted to me by my late friend Anne Marie....


On the chest....
 

I made the bunnies from a set of peach dish towels.....


And I made the carrots out of Dollar Tree carrot gift bags....

A sign, that Joe bought for 90% off in Big Lot's a few years back, that I embellished....

And this is where I will end for today..... 


In my next post on THURSDAY, I will be finishing up my tour of the Living Room decorated for Easter...
 
Sharing one more Easter Tree....
 

 And more table vignettes.....
 
 So I hope you will stop by to visit again on THURSDAY.....  
 
 
 Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!

  1. Your granddaughters are going to just love the bunnies!!!!! It's a magical Easter Wonderland!!!
    I cannot believe that tree did not damage any vehicles! What luck. The owner might well consider taking down the other tree, unfortunately. My daughter lost a huge tree 2 years ago in a Spring wind storm. Luckily she had a large side yard and it only damaged one fence section on a neighbor's lot. She contacted her insurance company to see if they would assist in the cost of removal. First, no they didn't and second, they told her she need to have her trees looked at since now that she knew that her trees could be in danger of rot and falling, they would not cover any damage to the house if the next one landed on it. So that was an expensive removal.

  2. Your Easter mantel and the tree are so festive! I can only imagine how big your granddaughters' eyes will be when they see all the pastel goodness! I heard about the terrible weather so many experienced this past weekend. So hard to lose a tree but I'm glad everyone was safe! Have a great week, Deb! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

  3. All your bunnies are so cute. and here in Chicagoland the wind was horrible, but luckily, nothing has leafed out so not too many trees down. But then our area lost a bunch last year...with multiple storm. I know i have our basement stocked with emergency stuff just in case. Spring hugs! Sandi

  4. How fun and festive, Debbie. Your grands are getting to the age now that it is magic when they see those. And it's different with girls than boys -- my guys don't get QUITE as into it as I think little girls will. I'm so sorry about the tree.

  5. Everything is decorated so beautifully, Deb. I adore the large Easter bunnies on the mantle. I could just kick myself for not picking up the stacked Easter eggs at the Dollar Tree. Yours looks fabulous by the tree. Have a great day. Hugs.

  7. So glad that tree missed the houses and cars; we have had a few really large ones like that come down in the last couple of weeks too (near us; not "our" trees) and amazingly they missed all the buildings and cars too and best of all we didn't lose power either which is pretty unheard of! Your mantle looks wonderful.
