<sigh> I love looking at everyone's beeeuoootiful tables and deck layouts! HearthCricket, I recognize your spread cloths as Tarot Totes, and I love the way you seem to pick them so carefully to color-coordinate with your decks!
And may I say, your picture of the new Mystic Faerie layout sent me right over to Amazon to order this beauty. (And I thought I didn't want that deck!) And I just may have to order that wonderful bag from Baba Store, because the colors match perfectly!
Anyway, for me, I have plenty of spread cloths, candles, and gems (I gotta get me one of those hourglasses, though!), but my life feels so busy lately with the kids, that I usually do readings for myself whenever and whereever I find a moment. Goodness, I've been known to pull a card at a stop light if the deck is calling to me!
Usually, though, I do my FTN readings at my dining room table, which is only used at holidays, and that's in front of my laptop, where I record the readings I do. I do use a spreadcloth and candles during my annual spreads I do on New Year's Eve, and that's always a nice treat.
Maybe someday when my boys don't want to spend time with me anymore
, I'll start to spend a little time on myself. But right now, with their ages at 8 yrs and 5 yrs, I'd much rather enjoy the time I have with them when they're awake.
