Update 4 (Part 1) - 46 Days till Halloween 2007
Back with another picture loaded update.
Well, this is my little "show scene" table. It is planned to be the closest thing to the guests as they are looking into my "attic scene" in my garage.
Basically all it is is a small table with props that help portray my story line a bit. (It's kind of weak, but as I keep adding to this scene in upcomming years, it will grow.)
Basically the story goes that Elizabeth's soon to be husband became extremely mad for some unknown reason and killed her. Her (a good spirit) and her soon to be husband (evil spirit) still lurk about the scene and house.
First off, we got this Decorator table from our local Walmart. Only $5. Can you say bargain?!

And here it is set up. It is fairly sturdy.

So I dressed it with a two piece.:lookaroun Gold (old looking) tablecloth.
You'll see that in the pics. The first prop I put on the table was a dozen *fake* black roses in a *real* glass vase. I'll probably fill it with water and add food coloring to make it look dirty. The only real rose I use is on one of our tombstones. Anyways, they are dew covered. And there are only 11 left. (One broke).

After that, the main centerpiece. A picture in an old looking frame of Elizabeth. I gave her that name by the way. It's a morphing pic, and you'll see it's morphed side in a different pic, but I got this from hauntedportraits.com. I would highly recommend getting stuff from there. Very good quality. They even have some Haunted Mansion inspired portraits. (Ghost ship, Tomb Sweet Tomb sign, Master Gracey changing portrait...)

Also on the table... is a note. Written by Elizabeth before she parished. Now it's kind of hard to read, but it just adds depth to my scene and story, so hopefully people will have fun trying to figure out what it says.
There is also a fake tea light candle that flickers & glows, and a costume ring. ($5) It looks extremely real. It was to be the ring Elizabeth would have worn at her wedding. Here's some pics...

This one has dead Elizabeth in it. And maybe you can spot my burnt hidden mickey.
