In the old days, at a diner I'd ask Swami a question and get an answer instantly for a penny!

In the cafe my brother and I would visit, out came an answer in a napkin and they looked just like these! QUESTION: "Should I go on vacation?"

Choose from 5 or more to a complete set of fortune cards, here
Also ones like these were on a Twilight Zone episode called Nick of Time with William Shatner and several people have sent me emails about how they've used these for their Twilight Zone or Fortune Telling theme parties! How fun!
I received an email from a party planner who threw the biggest Twilight Zone themed party I've ever seen! It was a Halloween costume birthday party! and my fortune cards were part of the decor!
Here's the email:
Here a link to the party, thank you again for the cards!!! This is for Next Stop... The Twilight Zone, here

How fun is that? Did you see the fortune cards as a prop with the eyeball cake poppers and candied apples? OH my! What an all out party! even the photos are in black and white! How fun with matching costumes and featured episodes with props and treats from "Time Enough At Last" and the doll, Talking Tina from episode 126: Living Dolls, and the cookbook from "To Serve Man"
My favorite of all? The "Pig Doctor" from "The Eye of the Beholder" episode! He takes the cake!

Saying Goodbye: Of course, I bought a hoard of these and had fun sorting them all into complete sets! And have several complete sets stashed away for myself and I use the incomplete sets as a tag for gifts and I've hidden them in cocktail napkins for party drinks and extra Sunday dinner fun.
What are your ideas for them?
What I Learned:
1. I'm still recovering from allergic reactions and trying to figure out what it is that's aggravating them. My sciatica is better with yoga and I can now sit as long as long as it's the floor or bed. Still no chairs allowed! Keeping all my scheduled appointments to mend as quickly as possible.
2. Holiday stress is here and will get stronger as Thanksgiving gets closer, but instead of retail shopping as therapy, this year I am going to try mending, which I love to do and find quite relaxing. I'll take photos of my mending progress to post.
3. I have allotted a small budget of funds to shop to collect a short list of the things I love.
I'll see how my two new alternative works out this season! Only time will tell.
