What could make this girl cry actual tears of joy?

Being reunited with her beloved decks!

 

About 6 years ago, I had a fire in my apartment building. Lost a few things to smoke damage, but managed to save all my decks.

 

But I had nowhere to go, so they all went into storage, and I spent a year or two as a homeless wanderer, seeing the country.

 

Today, my bins of tarot and oracles were recovered and I actually wept to see all the amazing decks I own!

The Phantomwise! My old RWS...my Morgan's, and my sweet Paulina! My hideous deck subcollection! And all the cool circus and sideshow cards!

 

And yeah...a few I forgot I owned too! So deliriously happy to be able to take them all out and play again.

 

Apparently I had a couple extra copies of my own decks stuffed in there too! Score! 

I also just acquired a new cabinet to store them in, and that just makes everything work out perfectly!

Wheeeeeeeee! Congrats!
And they look like they held up beautifully - no damage from moisture or critters. It's a charmed collection!
 

Wonderful news! It’s great that they have held up so well in storage too. 

 

What type of cabinet have you gone for? 

So happy for you!

Ill have to post a picture. Its a lovely cabinet from Pier One.

Originally $400. But because of some damage on the bottom...we got it for $18!

This isn't actually my entire collection. I have acquired a few more over the last 6 years!

 

But what prompted me to go all the way to the storage, and move ridiculously heavy boxes...was that a deck has been calling out to me!

 

( the tarot were the first things packed after the fire...and the first to go in the storage. So way in the back, with everything on top!)

 

The deck(s) calling out to me were my Froud Faerie Oracles. Been dreaming about them.

And of course they weren't in the boxes.

Mischievous things. I still don't know where they are!

 

I've never wanted a "like" button on here before  🙂

So wonderful to have them back, congratulations

@Chronata so happy for you and amazing how well they stood up after such a long time in storage! Hope you find that deck you were looking for ❤️

How wonderful that you have your decks back within reach!

 

I do hope you find your Froud Faeries soon!

oh how lovely. Would you care to share some pictures or even a video talking through your decks? I do love seeing other people's decks and sharing their enjoyment.

Wow that cabinet sounds like quite the deal and what a wonderful collection to get reacquainted with.  I'd be curious to see a picture once everything is set up, if you feel like sharing of course. 

This makes me feel happy 🙂

 

I second the happy feeling!
