I missed Halloween with the renovation and move last year, so I wasn’t about to let it go this year! :D I’ve set up grandma’s fine parlor for some fun. The dollhouse room has poor lighting at night, so I tried some fancy flash covering work and other tricks of PhotoShop.
I like this photo because the lighting makes it look like a sound stage for a play before the lights go down at curtain time!
That dashing fellow in the photograph seems to take on a different personality if you look really close.
There are many curiosities going on around the room on this fine Halloween day.
I don’t think I want to know what this spell is for, though. :O With that bottle of arsenic, it can’t be good.
But, it’s no wonder you get up to no good when you’re on a bender of cookies, Absinthe and magic mushrooms. I would imagine the story about to be typed is going to be a weird one.
These mushrooms are just for show.
It’s awfully cool outside, so the fan can be put away for the season.
Is it time for candy yet? :D
Boo!
Seriously, there’s nothing spookier than a curious old sepia-tone photograph.
Can’t you just hear a tinny music box playing out of tune?!! =shudder= Happy Halloween, everyone!!! :D

The gentleman’s photo is a Martha Stewart hologram sticker and it changes to a scary face at certain angles. It glared with certain light, so Elizabeth Wharton Drexel returned for some of the photos.
