As for that particular little trinket box, be sure to also take everything out of it at some point. My first pass thru Box#5 was a little frenzied and I didn't empty the matchbox until the second pass a couple hours later -- though I loved the cover of the matchbox!

We finished putting the dollhouse together this weekend and it looks great. Even used little sticky foam cubes to give the books real volume. I have pictures from my cellphone on Facebook but hoping to get in their with some good lighting and a macro lens. Now to just figure out... who did what, and why!

I didn't make the little books because it seemed fiddly to do it like hers -- the foam is a great idea!
I'm not sure what to think at this point, every time I develop a theory I find something it doesn't jive with!

Has she made any mention of when the dossier will be available?
Also, I note that the January version of The Haunted Dollhouse is listed as having four mailings rather than 5.

Rumor has it that parts of it are out now if you are astute enough. This came right from Ms. Delaney herself in an email with me. I will have to peruse all the material from the last box again. Pretty sure I know what it is, and I was really close last time, just wasn't persistent enough!

Pretty sure I know what it is, and I was really close last time, just wasn't persistent enough! I think it's still 5 mailings, Genii -- the description says 4 boxes and a final letter, which I'd guess is at least the last chapter envelope from this mailing and maybe some of the other paper items. This last box only had one thing in it that wasn't flat/paper and I think the matchbook book could probably be included with the box where she's admitted to the asylum -- box 4? -- since the cat's out of the bag at that point anyway. I imagine LD can find a clever way to include the other items and info from the matchbook in the final letter. I could imagine 4 boxes and a final envelope being arranged without having an effect on the pace or the suspense of it. We'll undoubtedly find out how she reworked it from people who gave the January run as a gift or will be doing it themselves.

In a reply to my email to her about how much I've been enjoying the mystery, she said she was hard at work on it. That's ok with me--I'm not really ready for it yet anyway.

Argh! I'll have to go over the whole thing again and look for the clues.

Very similar to mine. however, I rotated the bottom layer so that the bloody footprints "interacted" properly with the back wall!

You can click on the photos to zoom in. Not sure why they are so small. Now, just anxiously awaiting the completed page explaining the overall story!!

That's just FABULOUS! And some impressive photography, too! I can't get anything but black blobs. And the library melee is, like, extravagant with all the books and papers!!! Super job!
