Have my own favorite eating spots after many years of traveling in Japan. Can't wait to get home for the second installment of the Haunted Dollhouse.

All I can say about box #2 is wow, just WOW! Yep, lots of neat things. I will have to take inventory of everything and compare to others here to make sure nothing was forgotten from my box. But will only post that in a few days to give others a chance to see the packages themselves first!

tanders -- did MyUSPS get caught up with your HauntedDollhouse at the next scan or is it an origin scan thing? It would help when I/you/we let the next person know.

My second box came today. This is just really lovely, well designed, and totally creepy.

I think you need to be signed up with MyUSPS before packages start getting connected to it when initially shipped. Will see with next package!

Soo, I threw away the long piece of shred everyone has been talking about. So I emailed L. Delaney to set my mind at ease, need it or not. This is the response I got (I left out the the greeting, thank you for kind words etc): ** It seems as though you have unwittingly destroyed an important piece of evidence! No matter. I have destroyed my own fair share. I will make a note to include a replacement in your next shipment and I advise you to pay special attention to it. Otherwise, it sounds like you are on the right track! Hopefully you are, as we speak, sorting through a second mysterious parcel of clues. I wish you well in your investigations. ** I don't believe the above contains any spoilers, but as always, if someone feels differently...

Not a spoiler at all here, just a question -- who is actually constructing the tableau? There might be room for side discussion on difficulties, tips, and fear of gluing down something you might need to see the back of later, lol! Both mailings have had a lot of forward-going stuff to be put together. Any brave souls out there other than myself?

I'm temporarily putting the house together. I did construct the furniture which helped me to see a secret message.

I'm temporarily putting the house together. I did construct the furniture which helped me to see a secret message. I haven't put it together yet--relying on family to help with that, and we're clearly going to need better lighting in our work area. I just noticed that message this morning. It's not her only one in this mailing, either. I'm finding the messages, both hidden and not so hidden, are really haunting. Also really excited at how I see the story shaping up.

So far with in the first mailing I've found two things to decode/solve, the account number on the floor plan. As well as the long strip of paper I've only gotten barely into the second mailing but it's obvious that There is plenty of decoding to be done, having trouble figuring out how to use the post card, but I'm sure taking another look today I'll figure that out I'm extremely pleased with this experience, it's wonderful and honestly very much worth the cost. I can't wait to display it.

As was done with the first mailing, I think it would be helpful to many if someone would post a list of the contents under a spoiler tag. Would do it myself but just back from a trip to Tokyo and 500 emails to deal with. As far as constructing the house, I've made color photocopies of the printed pieces of the house and am using those to construct a temp version.

The only diff in tanders list and mine is that I have 3 tiny pictures (not including the one in the frame), two are obviously scenic, but the third one, the smallest one, is really quite impossible to make out (but my eyes aren't what they used to be). I agree with the observation about the book pages not being identical, mine is from a novel, so we aren't getting identical book pages. It doesn't mean that the object (an old page itself) isn't important, just that the text isn't important?
