Rising Cost of Tarot Decks

(Tarot Totes) — Tue, 29 Mar 2016 00:00:00 GMT

US Games is raising the price of Tarot Cards
Bad news, folks. US Games, Inc., one of the two major publishers of tarot card decks, is increasing the price of their card decks. As of April 1, 2016, the manufacturer's standard retail price (MSRP) of tarot cards is increasing 9.75%, from $20.00 to $21.95. That means our wholesale cost is going up by the same percentage. Why the price increase? US Games cites the rising costs of production and overhead, which is perfectly understandable - even if we wish it weren't so. A Sil.. ( Read More )

Well, another year has passed and boy, was it an eventful one! When we took over Tarot Totes six months ago we were a little scared, a lot excited, and wholly determined to maintain the level of quality in product and service that you've come to expect.

Celestial appliques on silk spreadcloths and double draw bags

(Betty Diamond) — Tue, 24 Sep 2013 00:00:00 GMT

We've just finished a big creative design session here at tarottotes.com. These celestial tarot bags and spreadcloths are so beautiful! We think you will absolutely love them. All of the appliques were made from fabrics that have metallic gold highlights in the celestial designs. Then we added elements like embroidery, flannel-lining (for spreadcloth), silk, etc. Appliqué is a sewing technique which involves the application of one fabric over another to add adornment or focus..

Three new styles of quilted tarot layout mats

(Betty Diamond) — Sat, 21 Sep 2013 00:00:00 GMT

mat for tarot readings
We've recently designed three new styles of quilted tarot reading mats: one brown, one black, and one indigo blue. These are reversible so you get two different reading surfaces in the one mat. Mats stay in place better than the typical tarot cloth. It is nice to lift up a card and not have any movement underneath that might disturb the other cards in the layout. The quilted side is the solid color and the opposite site is a lively celestial or swirled fabric.

New style and size of silk tarot bag

(Betty Diamond) — Wed, 11 Sep 2013 00:00:00 GMT

Due to a customer request, we have designed another style of silk tarot bag. This one has a double draw cord closing, two layer of silk fabric, and comes in your choice of five different colors. Pick purple, red, black, navy or turquoise silk dupionni fabric for your luxurious tarot bag. The triple twist satin cord is gold. Look for our "Royalty" bag in the New Items or Double-Draw sections of the www. tarottotes.com store.

Zodiac spreadcloth or altar cloth

(Betty Diamond) — Wed, 07 Aug 2013 00:00:00 GMT

I am so excited about this new spreadcloth fabric that I found. In my opinion, this is the absolutely perfect cloth for a tarot card reader. With written descriptions of personality types based on astrological signs, this fabric provides the layout surface for someone working in the field of divination. The visual pattern is highly detailed with illustrated cards that show a tossed selection of astrological cards. Each card has an horoscope/astrological symbol pictured on it as well as a shor..

Monthly sales of tarot bags, 20% off
Not surprisingly, our best selling tarot bags seem to be the ones made with celestial print fabric. We rarely put these on sale because they are so very popular that we have a hard time finding enough fabric to make them. However, we are currently well -stocked with celestial fabrics, so we are discounting this collection of a dozen different bags at 20% for the month of August. Buy now, these may not be around for long. One of the reasons for their popularity is that these bags seem to coo.. ( Read More )

Our Zentangle-inspired tarot bag will inspire you!
Recently, I've become enthralled with Zentangle designs. I bought the Walter Foster art instruction book called The Art of Zentangle and have been drawing madly ever since. Naturally, when I found a fabric that was designed in this same fun, creative, beautiful, yet structured style, I absolutely had to buy it and make a new tarot bag and spreadcloth from it. What I love about this white, peach, and coral fabric is that it has enough white space in it that it can easily be customized with.. ( Read More )

New design studio for Tarot Totes company
Whew! It's been a tough week. We had outgrown our old sewing studio and needed more space, so we made the move this week to a facility that is twice as large. It's wonderful having more room and a better organized design studio, but we are all feeling the effects of the move. Not only are there way too many decisions to make (Where does this go? Why there? What is more efficient? etc.) but also it is just plan physically exhausting to pack and move so many items then relabel shelves .. ( Read More )

Had fun creating a new product today--Tarot Reading Mat

Quilted layout mat for tarot readings
The creative process is fascinating. One thing always leads to another and sometimes you go off in a whole different directions on a whim. It's like following a hot air balloon. My project today was to create a tarot reading cloth/mat exclusively for 3 to 5 card readings. I wanted it more durable than a single layer tarot cloth and I wanted it to be less likely to move when cards are picked up and put down. Happily, after a bit of trial and error, I reached my goal.
