ya there really wasn't enough room in Etsy for pix. Here are the poems - originally I kind of was hoping people in here would throw out some cute little rhyme ideas, especially since I'm not a Lenormand reader. I DID do my research, however, & kind of got the gist of it I think. After seeing Ladybird's deck I feel like I need to step up my game - omg, her cards are gorgeous - with boxes & books....I'm still very new to this, you guys.
This is such a compliment coming from you, Seven Stars!!
But I have to say that my second edition isn't even coming with that box or LWB anymore.
I have my Extended LWB on my website and the cards are now coming in a black satin bag and a plastic playing card box with a title card. Just saying that I agree with others, not necessary to have a box and booklet unless you are going to sell them in a store. I was going to sell mine in my friend's shop and I think the box & LWB would be appropriate in that situation.
I find myself also putting my decks in something other than the boxes they came in. I much prefer the Lenormands that come in their own baggie, like the Game of Hope Lenormand's velvet bag, so I don't have to keep track of the boxes. I find that I keep those silly boxes anyway and they start to stack up empty in a drawer "just in case".
I'm really looking forward to your cards! They have such a pretty aesthetic! The poetry is lovely too. I think you did a fantastic job with those, not knowing Lenormand, like you said.
I'll let you know when I get them.
