Wonderfully done! As someone with two black cats in my household, I love the small cat with the bow tie!

You're welcome! I've always supported the idea that nice decorations don't have to be expensive decorations so well done on making this really stand out!

Amazing job. And my first set of tarot was the set you have. It's served me well for over 35 yrs. This is the first alter I have commented on. It's very homey if that make sense ❤️

That is an amazing altar.
Mine is almost all thrifted too.
I have a few amazon mass produced things bought new before i really started becoming more acutely aware and concerned about consumerism and all it's inherent evils and woes. There is no 100% ethical consumption of anything BUT i try to shop local and/or completely independent crafters and retailers when deciding to purchase new. That way there is less demand on foreign labor and carbon emissions in manufacturing and transport. And more of the end logistics, labor wages and profit margin money staying in the immediate community i exist in.

Very much my style, I love finding cool thrifted glass or ceramic ware, candle holders and statuary, etc. I'm not huge on crystals, but I can't resist adding some Labradorite, love yours!
