Finally, a version of my very first Lenormand Project for everyone. This deck was first made for fairs and Etsy, tediously handcut and laminated, then placed in pouches or collaged mint tins. Now, Gamecrafter gives me the option to make a version available for all who may have wanted this set, but weren't able to find it.
