From Gothick:
What I did crave and demanded until my own set was given to me were Magda's tarot cards.....(snip)....I went to the library, checked out Eden Gray's tarot books, and made my own traced copies of the major arcana cards until I got my own deck as a Christmas present in 1970.  The deck I was given was the "IJJ" Swiss one (so called because of the Jupiter and Juno cards that are said to be unique to this deck), which was the same one used by Magda.

I have those cards too! Found mine on eBay, and also recently sold a brand new deck (sealed) there too. They are pretty cool, huh?    

Other props I loved on the show were...(snip) the painted Egyptian-Laura's scarab

I've seen that on eBay too...check w/ Craig Hamrick, I think he was the seller?  ?!?  He might know where you can get it.

and, of course ... THE AFGHAN!!!

I just ran across the almost *identical* afghan my great grandmother knitted, all rumpled up in a dusty corner of my mom's garage last weekend! I couldn't believe what a find that was!     It's getting some TLC at the moment, soaking in Woolite   , hopefully I will be able to resurrect it!

Does Cassandra Collins' wig collection count as a prop?  That would be on my list, too.

LOL! You crack me up, Gothick! Of course it counts, but I think that would qualify as another one of the Collins' house pets

I have to agree with you all, Josette's Music Box is right up there among the favorites, along with Barnabas' ring. I have both, sitting next to some rocks I collected from my trip to Newport RI, at "Widow's Hill."

I'd love to get my hands on Barnabas' cane too, to hang on my wall. Also, I love some of the wall sconces and chambersticks that are in The Old House, and would love to have some of them in my own house!

I can't help but find myself wishing that Nicholas or Angelique would put a spell on the IRS right now.

Amen to that Chris!

oh, and one more word about LAX...be prepared for LONG lines. The security there is extremely tight, their newly dubbed nickname is the "Alcatraz of All Airports". So keep that in mind as you are traveling, and allow time for that

Why didn't Joshua even notice or think it odd that there were candles burning in the secret room where Barnabas was entombed.

Suki went to the old house which is supposedly unoccupied and there are candles alight on the wall.

Just wondered.

Tanis  ?!?

LOL, hey there Tanis  

Watching DS is like watching fantasy. You can't take it literally.
If you sit and ponder, wondering why this isn't where it should be, you might miss something coming up in the next few moments (that is, if it's your first run watching the series).

Although, as you may have read, many do just that, which
adds more to the entertainment! (and I'm not talking about only this particular list either )  However, one can drive themselves absolutely nuts nit picking and moaning over little details (candles lit that haven't been seen in years, LOL!). It's "Dark Shadows" land. Anything goes. It's not supposed to be realistic  

Might as well just "do a Vicky" and say "I don't understand"  ?!? , smile, and enjoy the rest of the show.

However, I like Luciaphil's idea the best, the one about the little guy (a la Rocky & Bullwinkle with the broom) filling up the lamp oil and replacing the candles in each room/passage way in Collinsport. Makes perfect sense to me!

After all, it is fantasy, right?

Also, where is Abigail? I would love to see her reaction to a few of the happenings that have been going on lately.

LOL!! She would've been going absolutely nuts, huh?

My favorite "Abigail Reaction" moment is coming up later, when she gets her just payback, where she is in "the wrong place at the wrong time" as Barnabas awakens from his day-nap!

LOL, good topic.

Just once I'd love to see Barnabas get really drunk off some lush "lady of the night" one time down on the docks!

How about the presently absent (and I still think a closet brat) Daniel in 1796?
would he :

TeePee Collinwood?

Saran Wrap Auntie Abigail and Reverend Trask together in a compromising position  

Pour castor oil in Naomi's sherry.....

Somehow sneak into the Gaol and put an invisible super glue on Peter's hands while he is asleep. And then when he touches his hair......  

Tell the whole village of Collinsport what he *really* saw go on between Millicent and Nathan....

I'll think of more later....the day is still young!
