Years ago I stumbled on a slew of those fake books with the hidey-hole compartments inside, and they are just snazzy for stowing my cards. I don't like bags (not my bag, baby), but I keep each deck inside its own "book" with a sort of talisman. For example, one deck resides with a packet of XX gold leaf left over from my arts-n'-crafts days; my Pierre Madenié 1709 is tucked away with a pair of metal rattles from New Year's Eve 2000; my knockabout RWS from 25 years ago is with a set of keys from my first car.
What a fabulous way to accessorize decks and give purpose to fun knick-knacks. I love it!
I have a dining room which is used as a hobby room I and my kids are much more into tarot, boardgames, and puzzles than cooking. I have a large armoire which is used to house the tarot and puzzles. I bought a cedar box from Amazon, but alas, it can only contain 4 decks. This box, while small, is nice for the decks I want "out" at any given time and I enjoy the earthy smell.
My mother is a crochet master, so I've asked her to make a few bags (plus a box for RWS) and she has kindly obliged. I can't imagine any better surrounding for my decks than something she made, although.....
A friend brought back some green tea from Taiwan and as soon as I saw the box, I knew it was going to house Shadowscapes which I bought with the book and was only in a bag.
