With the complete upheaval of my life since the beginning of September, the Haunted Heritage will have to wait until next year for it full interior celebration of Halloween. But, that doesn't mean we can't have some fun!

I'm a huge fan of Halloween, the kitsch and candy and costumes. But, I'm also a fan of haunted places...places that look normal, but then you smell perfume no longer made, or feel a chill right next to the fire, or hear someone's voice when there's no one around. =shudder=

My Halloween scene this year is dedicated to those haunted places that make you wonder what comes after life. I've borrowed the bookcase, Bagnall clock, Miss Kitty (by PamelaJunksMinis), end table and coffee table from the Heritage. The sofa is part of a Bespaq set, and the rug is from Dale's Dreams. The wallpaper is a delightfully vintage scrapbook paper by Recollections called Remember.

Jane of MiniFanaticus made me some delightful autumn minis, and I've used a few in the scene: a gourd and pumpkin, some fall leaves, a beautiful centerpiece, and candy corn. Ophelia by *Reve* rests on the afghan by Mary (woodland miniatures). I made the book of Edgar Allan Poe stories.

The reproduction painting is by Giovanni Boldini of Elizabeth Wharton Drexel, 1905 -- borrowed from the Heritage. The burrowing owl is borrowed from Baslow Ranch.
