If you know me, you know I love anything mystical, so we’re delighted to showcase a buffet of mystic treats by our artists.
We’re assigning heaps of projects in the spiritual realm–palmistry, tea leaf reading, astrology, crystals, for example–for books, card decks, miniature gift kits, even children’s books! As women’s voices become stronger, so do the previously marginalized interests of women. Hence, the trend.

A balanced meal is a real challenge in this stacking race game for 2-4 players. Dinner guests take turns piling their platter, morsel by morsel. If your plate topples over, you’ll go hungry. The glutton with their heaping plate intact wins dessert! A game of skill, this balancing buffet is sure to fill up any giggly belly. |
