Switch witch 2023
Candle preferences are woody oud and resin Are you into wax melts, candles, incense, room sprays, or none of the above?
All of the above Would you like anything from Luvmilk's Monster Mash?
Im not sure those scents are for me
I dye yarn. Are you a person who crafts with such? What fiber, weights, and colors would tickle your fancy? Would you rather have two different 100g skeins or enough of the same something for a bigger project? YES! My stash got ruined in a flood so all my good yarn is no longer good. A pretty devastating loss to be honest. I tend towards the soft end and like silk and bamboo blends. Colours are faily easy, jewel tones, blacks and greys. DK, sock/4 ply would get the most use,
Provided my experiments work, would you be interested in a bar of homemade tallow soap? I promise I will not send you anything particularly suspect, so this is entirely contingent upon my competence. No thank you, I'm veggie
Do homemade caramels or shortbread tickle your fancy?
Absolutely
9/8
because I’m a knitting kind of witch, would you appreciate a pair of hand knit socks. If yes, would you like them in a particular colour? I have very particular sock needs because my ankles are large and swell, so it might not be a good idea without serious discussions.
What type of spooky season imagery do you like? (Ie. bats, ghosts, vintage Halloween, etc.)
I'm a spooky bitch, I love it all. Vintage halloween less so but autumnal leaves, witches, cats, ghosts bats.. Bring it on!
Astrid's Autumn Line and Anniversary Tea Party just dropped. Anything you want?
I tried to look this up but couldnt find what it is.
Homemade and preserved food goodies - Which of these things would you like my dear witchie? All are organic and grown or made by me.
sun-dried heirloom tomatoes
dried ancho chile peppers - can be whole halves or ground into a delicious powder
sugar-free candied pecans and walnuts or almonds
gourmet quality fudge in many flavors (formerly from my ETSY shop which I had to close until I have my own home again) please give me an idea the kinds of flavors you like. My more popular ones are Penuche, Choc & PB, Pumpkin pie, Forest fruit (with cherries, blueberries and cranberries), Vegan chocolate
dried italian plums (pitted)
sugar-free canned plum or logan berry jam
freshly dried rosemary, thyme, basil, parsley individually or in combo
almond flour baked goods (low carb, sugar free, and gluten free) - give me examples of savory and sweet things you'd like
I'm nut free, and a spice wuss, so its really just the canning, dried herbs and fudge Might you like a witch hat? Later this month I'm taking a class at an area museum where I'm supposed to decorate 2 hats. Also I crochet wicked cute witchy hats.
ooooh yes!
9/9
Do you see anything here that interests you? They have dry shampoos, whipped soaps, awesome hand cream, linen spray, sugar scrubs and perfume. https://www.etsy.com/shop/faefragrance/?etsrc=sdt
They all sound lovely. Id be unlikely to use any perfume but everything else
9/10
Anything you want from my favorite local tea shop? www.fridaytea.com
Harvest spice, second breakfast (I'm basically a spooky punk hobbit)
How about from my skincare person? drjensbeautylab.com/
I always need hyleronic acid.
How about from my witchy Chandler? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TeresaLynnsSimpleLux
Anything within my usual scent profile (woody, oud, resin, musk) or tea preferences (black or fruit)
It's also that time of year where I make handmade soap (usually with calendula infused olive oil, tallow, oatmeal and honey) and candles (feel free to specify color and size, I don't usually scent them, but I do have a clover and apple scent I've been wanting to play with). I can also annoint and dress candles with TALs and herbs. Any interest? No tallow thanks
I also grow herbs which can be culinary or magical. I'd be happy to prepare a smudge or dry some herbs for your enjoyment. I currently have oregano (yellow and standard), mugwort, thyme, sage (purple or garden), tea peppermint, chives, lovage, plantain, comfrey, raspberry leaf, and yarrow. I'm probably forgetting something.
Any of these in raw form would be great
I also make salves! My go to in an arnica, calendula and comfrey mix for healing wounds or chapped skin. This can also be used on pet paws. We do have barely enough time that I could do a custom infusion.
I have done this in the past especially arnica, callendula and yarrow, so I'm game.
9/11
Anything in the Paintbox Soapworks Halloween update looking good to you? https://paintboxsoapworks.com/new-limited-edition/2023-weenie-collection/
Again, I'm happy to try anything that fits within my smell preferences.
9/12
If you have a furry friend living with you, what sort of treats do they like?
My beep baldur is obsessed with hairball malt paste. Like totally obsessed. Freya likes grass and Holle likes freeze dried chicken bits. They love catnip and silvervine, and like stringy toys,feather toys and toy mice.
9/13
What is your feelings on seasonal mugs? Yes or, no? Too many in your house or bring them on??
I have a million all year round halloween mugs and am always happy for more (though I've banned myself from buying myself any more)
Are your wishlists - Amazon, Etsy, etc - up to date, and if so, are they all linked somewhere that I can find them? They should be linked in my very out of date SW help page in my sig. I cant work out how to update the sw post but the lists are up to date and extensive.. The etsy is huge and I dont expect people to go through it all, its more there as a guide for my style and likes.
Do you have anything you use every day that you wouldnt mind getting more of?
Things I use every day that I'd happily have more of. Fortenam and Mason royal blend tea, any cat supplies, Skincare: Pixi glow tonic, Pixi milky mist, Liz earle vanilla cleanser, the ordinary The buffet serum. Reusuable face pads, muslin face cloths.
Anything you love or need to have from Adagio or Rishi teas?
I could use one of their over cup tea strainers List here things you wish you would've added to your questionnaire
9/14
Nocturne Alchemy just dropped their Halloween update! You like the looks of anything? https://nocturnealchemy.com/collections/limited-collection It all seems fairly heavy on the florals so not really for me. Is there anything you would like from the Weenie update?
Palo santo and pachouli hair oil, a melancholy of goths How do you feel about stickers? If positively, are there any themes you'd rather not have stickers of? Yes absol
What about crystals, cool rocks, and gemstones?
Ethically sourced please
9/15
How do you feel about Squishmallows and Squishables? (They have mini and micro sizes for those who like cute plushies but don't have a lot of space.) Halloween ones.
Would you wear enamel pins with chains that are meant to be put on lapels? (Something like this.)
yep Speaking of enamel pins... The Pickety Witch's Autumn and Halloween collection just dropped. Has anything caught your eye? I've not looked butI do love their things.
I used to make mobiles out of paper cranes, would you appreciate something like this? if so, what size restrictions do you have, if any? ie., should it take up less space vertically or horizontally? color palette preference?
Oh gosh I have no idea.
9/16
ordering bulbs from https://oldhousegardens.com and was wondering if my witchee would like some.
No thank you
Would you like something like "sock arms" if I find time to craft? (Sometimes I make a pattern called Toast or Toasty {one has a thumb the other is just a tube} http://www.afriendtoknitwith.com/2008/09/toasttoasty.html. here are other photos from my blog: https://www.elkaknits.com/?p=845 )
-- If so what sort of colors?
No thanks
Witchee, what's your take on seasonal-themed Washi tape?
I love it What about seasonal treats from Trader Joe's?
I dont know what they have I make gluten-free biscotti this time of year, lemon and also cocoa varieties: does this sound good to you?I like the non nut ones I've tried before Would you like me to make a music mix for you? I kick it old school with a burned CD. If you're into this, name at least 3 to 5 genres of music you already love, or are interested to explore more of!
Awesome
9/17
Anything here you like? https://bserway.com/
Theyre all really cool Anything you'd like from my Ren Fest? There is an outstanding garlic based shop I'll be going to next weekend, for my annual stock up of their spice blends & garlic oil blends. Any other Renny stuff that you like? Anything cooking or treat related. Im fairly well stocked on most things like that, as an occasional larper. know we are looking at a lot of candles, but if you are into looking at more (and it is ok to say you are not), do any of these strike your fancy?
https://www.lakewoodwax.com/candlesforacause
(Feel free to take a look at their current and signature scents too but I wanted to highlight these fundraiser scents first!)
Anything that fits myscent profiles is good by me.

f you are a person who appreciates tarot and oracle decks, do you have a strong preference about receiving new ones vs gently/barely used? I am and have no issues with used ones, but if I'm honest I have a dozen decks and really use two of them
Are you a Studio Ghibli fan, and if so, what are your feelings about fan made art featuring characters? I love ghibli. Especially kiki's delivery service, howl's moving castle and sprited away
Want anything from LUSH? Here's the link specifically to their Halloween drop (https://www.lush.com/us/en_us/c/halloween) BUT, feel free to peruse all of it.
I enjoy lush and I use a lot of Buffy and lord of misrule
9/20
Part 2 of the Autumnal/Halloween drop from Haus of Gloi is coming this weekend- take a look and see if anything is compelling! https://www.hausofgloi.com (fall part 2 is live on Sunday, here is a list of what is coming: https://www.hausofgloi.com/blogs/haus-herald/fall-part-2) Apple milk, hex, kitchen witch though I dont know what products because I've never tried them. Also, I live in Philly and will use ANY reason to spend time at the Mütter Museum- anything of interest (including, but not limited to, the well-loved BPAL exclusive for the museum, Ü?) https://www.muttermuseumstore.org
oh, interesting! Maybe!
If you are so inclined, do you want or need any natural items or ingredients for spellwork that could be collected from forests, ocean, fields or stream? I also have access to oak gall ink and various other esoteric substances.
Theres nothing I specifically need.
Are you a fan of the show Cobra Kai?
Not really
Do you enjoy any of the scented items from Victoria's Secret?
No
Would you be interested in receiving a silver locket with papyrus and herbs inside, as a protective amulet?
Sure!
9/21
So Witchee mine, are you a spellworker? - any interest in acorns from a tree known as The Mother Oak at my Ren Fest grounds. It is the biggest tree I've ever seen in MI. It is cared for by tree scientists from MSU. It is the mom to every other oak on the grounds. Saturday is Mabon & I will go & gather acorns before the park opens to patrons as I do each year. But this time it's actual Mabon. So Witchee dearest, would you like some? Thank you but I have my own old oak.
Witchee, do you like anything from Lenny Mud?
No thank you
9/22
From previous questions you've answered, I know a lot about the teas you'd like from specific places, but I want to know your more general tea preferences. Black, green, white, rooibos, oolong, herbal?
- Japan is particularly big on their green tea and hojicha (roasted green tea), any interest?
- My partner has given me an extraordinary amount of rooibos from South Africa. It's amazing and I'd like to share, so would you like some? Black tea, berry or apple based fruit tea. I dont like white green or gunpowder.
Switch Witch 2023 Help
Switch Witch Fall 2023 Question (With Answers!)
During my recent travels I got to experience the incredible delight of Serge Luten perfumers here in Paris (imagine if the Lab and Anna Sui made babies inside a Cadbury Cream Egg decorated with stained glass windows and...you've come close to the experience of being in that shop). Anyway, after spending gobs of monies, they loaded me up with delectable samples of their insanely expensive wares- do you want some??? Sure! If you have something that you think I'd like, I'm open to it.
Haus Of Gloi just had their Halloween update! Anything appeal to you? https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1 Of their offerings I am most likely to use a Bubbling Scrub or a Pumpkin Butter and the scents that most appeal to me are Hex, Kitchen Witch, and Little Hedgehog. From their GC, Apothecary, Eudemonia, and A Place in Space are the most "me." I just came across this Etsy shop (TheGrayMuse) and I WILL BE ORDERING and wondering if you would like something from there as well? I don't see anything I must have, but I do like the stickers. Future Primitive Soaps has released it's fall stuff. Would you like anything from there dearest witchee? https://futureprimitivesoap.co.uk I really like their bar soaps and Owlett's End, North Woods, and Shadow Show all sound great! Other scents that also found pretty awesome: Call the Corners, Inches Lane, No. 11, Rook & Raven, and White Witch. I harvested some elderberries yesterday and I have a lot more out there, so I made a batch of elderberry syrup. Would you appreciate a 4oz bottle of it? YES Do you want anything from Sea Witch Botanicals (I can buy it locally from shops)? Their lip balm tins are seriously adorable and I would love any of them. Ditto the salves. The Hermitage Candle is adorable and sounds like it smells great, as does Quoth the Raven. tell me some Odds And Ends of things you like or want, I know this is open ended, sorry - - gadgetry, stickers, toys, pens, costumery, snacks, decoration, kitchen stuff, etc Little things you can't go wrong with for me include lip balms/tins/salves, cuticle oils/lotions/creams, cool magnets, chocolate and snacks, cloth napkins and handkerchiefs (I carry them in my purse for use in restrooms with blowers!), and purse size hand cream tubes/tins. Gift Certificates you'd like to places that are local to you? I think most of my local places are SO hyper local that they would be hard, although I know my bookstore (https://www.brilliant-books.net) has employees who are magnificent over the phone and online. (And if you need a speedy present for a family member, their book of the month subscriptions are truly wonderful -- so customized and they care so much. I can't say enough good things!) How do you feel about ILNP nail polish and what are your favs from the new Cosmos collection and any others on their site?? I don't paint my nails. It makes them feel like they are suffocating. I am trying to be nicer to my cuticles and practice a little more care beyond "cut to a rough shape" Would you be interested in anything from Alobudra? https://alobudrallc.company.site/products/ That site is a little overwhelming, but I know I would use the bath bombs and I would be open to trying other things like bath milks, teas, etc. If YOU love it, I bet I will too! are there any more “traditional” Japanese souvenirs you’d like to have (think chopsticks, tenugui, washi paper, etc.)? I'm going to say no but only because I don't know enough to say yes with specifics.If YOU think I would use/love it, try me! Would you like to try Brujita Skincare ? (Ignore the out of stock except for In Your Room collection and Inner Child Ritual candle.) Their quiz tells me I should try: Sea Algae Cleanser, Purple Reina Scrub, Vegan Cream, Jelly Mask Cherry Bomb Aha, Jelly Mask Cucumber Watermelon, and Sandalwood Hydrosol. All the bar soaps also look awesome. Would you be interested in any jewelry or other items made with tiny bones from this shop? There are some Halloween themed ones: https://www.tinybonesandthings.com/s/shop Enthusiastic yes! I really love almost every single piece of jewelry on that site! If you like tea, is there anything you would like from Bird & Blend? https://www.birdandblendtea.com/ I am intrigued by the sticky chais -- especially the regular and gingerbread. I'm also game to try Rose & Cardamom Chai, Dark Choc Chili Chai, Milk Oolong Chai, Moondrops, the Digester, Brighton Rock, and Chocolate Digestives. BloomChic - just discovered them - Take a look at the Halloween stuff, and tell me the link and the size of whatever thing you like! I am actively trying to downsize my closet, so I'm good for now thanks! Poesie Tea! Do you like? Some of my favorites are from this company. https://www.poesieperfume.com/loose-leaf-tea London Fog + Smoke, Merry + Bright, and Olympus all sound interesting. Would you like anything from Trader Joe's? (Pumpkin products are, sadly, not in stores yet, but they will be during this round!) Most of my favorite PJs snacks are on my amazon wishlist. Obviously I don't buy them there, but it's one of the best ways to know to show what I like! For Halloween specific, I remember liking some pumpkin covered espresso beans and the batons a few years ago, and you can never go wrong with seasonal Joe-Joes. Do you have any Halloween traditions? Our campus always decorates and departments have themes with costumes. We have not yet sorted ours out for this year though! What about Halloween-related fandoms? (ie. The Nightmare Before Christmas) Nope! non-U.S folks!!! We always end up asking what we'd like from your exotic-to-us locales, but do you have any wishes for things from the States? I make things from thrifted sweaters that I cut up & make things from. Do you like armwarmers? Yes! My often they are too big for me because I am built like a spider with a thick middle and super skinny arms and legs. Long or short? I like both! Solid color ( elegant) or funky stripes made from multiple sweaters? All of those options sound great Fave colors? For accessories I like black, emerald green, sapphire blue, ruby red, and bright orange. Is cashmere okay? Yup Wool & related blends? ( I never use scratchy wool for arm warmers.) I don't mind wool, even the scratchy kind. I actually kind of like it. (Sensory seeking?) Do you like buttons used decoratively? Sure! I also do coiled & sewn rope work- it's functional art I wrap the rope in fabric & add appliques. I just had my first art show with these- bowls, trivets ( that can hang on the wall when not in use), coasters. Is this something you'd like ? They sound super cool. What sort of Halloween fabric? Whimsical? Witchy, bats, mushrooms, moths? Mushrooms and moths sound awesome and year-round to me! How gothy do you like? Let's say my level of goth is office-goth. So black and a little spooky, but also kind of stylistically conservative if that makes sense. have velvets & sparkly stuff to work with too. What is your preference witchee? Velvet is a big <3, sparkles I prefer in small doses. How do you feel about cherry things? Check out Cherry Republic and let me know if anything catches your eye! Similarly, are you into fancy flavors of olive oil or vinegar? Check out Fustini's and let me know if anything appeals! We also have an awesome store for jams and sauce, American Spoon which you should totally check out! Would you like some locally sourced maple syrup? Finally, I live in a place known for fudge. Do you like it and/or are their flavors you particularly like? My favorite shop is Murdick's if you need to see a flavor list. Anything from the IKEA Halloween store catch your witchy eye? https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/campaigns/halloween/ Nothing I can't live without! https://wildsoulriver.com I own the Magical Nature Tarot and love the feel of the cards. They have candles and teas and tinctures and books of the activist or witchy sort. Anything you see that you'd like? Their teas look interesting and I like the I Love Western Mass sticker (I lived there for 4 years in college!) I live near a Penzey's Spice https://www.penzeys.com - do you cook? - Do you want fancy schmancy spices or spice blends? - Do you have a favorite alternative source that you prefer and or recommend? For example egads I am asking lots of Qs Curio Spice Co, Diaspora etc do ethically sourced spices. - If you cook is there a type of cuisine you are interested in learning more about and would appreciate a starter pack of spices for that type of cooking? Taking this in order... Yes. Sure! Penzey's is my favorite but I occasionally stick my neck in our local shop: Spice & Tea Merchants. They mostly do bags though, and I find those harder to store than jars. There is no one cuisine, but some of our favorites from Penzey's are their vanilla, vanilla sugar, Balti, Rogan Josh, and Fox Point. We've been meaning to try their Pico Fruta and Tsardust Memories. I'm also intrigued by some of their cinnamons and their hot cocoas. Colourpop's Haunted Mansion collection dropped today. If you're interested in makeup or skin care, are you interested in anything from Colourpop? https://colourpop.com/ I'm afraid it would be wasted on me and end up going to my niece, who wants to be a makeup artist. Anything of interest from Cellar Door? (They have candles and soaps.) Some of their soap looks fun! I'm particularly drawn to Black No. 1, October Road, Michigan Moonglow, Sanderson Spice, Pleasant Peninsula, and Manistee Sands. Are you into wax melts, candles, incense, room sprays, or none of the above? Of the above, I occasionally use candles, incense, and room sprays. But honestly I don't use any of them too often because the dog pouts at me! Would you like anything from Luvmilk's Monster Mash? I'd use Bath Salts or Bath Milk and Pegasus and Werewolf and I would add Boyfriend. I dye yarn. Are you a person who crafts with such? What fiber, weights, and colors would tickle your fancy? Would you rather have two different 100g skeins or enough of the same something for a bigger project? I am super NOT crafty and it would be wasted on me. Provided my experiments work, would you be interested in a bar of homemade tallow soap? I promise I will not send you anything particularly suspect, so this is entirely contingent upon my competence. Absolutely! Do homemade caramels or shortbread tickle your fancy? Homemade anything is welcome! because I’m a knitting kind of witch, would you appreciate a pair of hand knit socks. If yes, would you like them in a particular colour? I would love them! Black, gray or striped would get the most wear. What type of spooky season imagery do you like? (Ie. bats, ghosts, vintage Halloween, etc.) I'm a fan of witches and vintage Halloween. Astrid's Autumn Line and Anniversary Tea Party just dropped. Anything you want? I am actually pretty good on perfume aside from my smallish wishlist. I know it's kind of the point here, but I've been trying to make an effort to wear and use what I have rather than just stockpiling. Homemade and preserved food goodies - Which of these things would you like my dear witchie? All are organic and grown or made by me. sun-dried heirloom tomatoes: Yes, would love dried ancho chile peppers - can be whole halves or ground into a delicious powder: Yes, would love sugar-free candied pecans and walnuts or almonds: I don't love most sugar free things. Plain would be great though! gourmet quality fudge in many flavors (formerly from my ETSY shop which I had to close until I have my own home again) please give me an idea the kinds of flavors you like. My more popular ones are Penuche, Choc & PB, Pumpkin pie, Forest fruit (with cherries, blueberries and cranberries), Vegan chocolate: I live in a fudge town, but almost buy it for myself, so I would probably love it. Penuche, maple, and anything with nuts (peanut butter, PB/C, butter pecan etc) are favorites. dried italian plums (pitted): Yes, would love sugar-free canned plum or logan berry jam: Nothing sugar free with artificial sweeteners please. freshly dried rosemary, thyme, basil, parsley individually or in combo: Yes, would love almond flour baked goods (low carb, sugar free, and gluten free) - give me examples of savory and sweet things you'd like: Yes, would love! I love brownies, scones, cookies, biscuits, etc. Really, I like everything! Might you like a witch hat? Later this month I'm taking a class at an area museum where I'm supposed to decorate 2 hats. Also I crochet wicked cute witchy hats. I'm sure I would love it and it would inspire Halloween costumes for years to come! Do you see anything here that interests you? They have dry shampoos, whipped soaps, awesome hand cream, linen spray, sugar scrubs and perfume. https://www.etsy.com/shop/faefragrance/?etsrc=sdt Whipped soap or hand cream would be my choices, and of the fragrances I think Norberta and Honey Cake sound nice. Anything you want from my favorite local tea shop? www.fridaytea.com Maple Houjicha and Underworldsound interesting! How about from my skincare person? drjensbeautylab.com/ Barrier Repair Serum, lip balm (chai or winter mint, so shimmer), Glow Up Serum, the New 20 Serum, and Skin Zen Wash look great. How about from my witchy Chandler? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TeresaLynnsSimpleLux Appalachian Autumn and Stolen Hoodie sound nice. It's also that time of year where I make handmade soap (usually with calendula infused olive oil, tallow, oatmeal and honey) and candles (feel free to specify color and size, I don't usually scent them, but I do have a clover and apple scent I've been wanting to play with). I can also annoint and dress candles with TALs and herbs. Any interest? The soap sounds lovely as of the candles. I love tea lights, small votives, and tapers -- white is great, as are green, red, and black. Unscented is great, but I'd be game to try the scent you want to play with! Undressed is great -- I have a lot of TALs at my disposal and think dressing them myself is more effective. I also grow herbs which can be culinary or magical. I'd be happy to prepare a smudge or dry some herbs for your enjoyment. I currently have oregano (yellow and standard), mugwort, thyme, sage (purple or garden), tea peppermint, chives, lovage, plantain, comfrey, raspberry leaf, and yarrow. I'm probably forgetting something. Any of those sound really lovely. I've never smudged with herbs and would be game to try. I also make salves! My go to in an arnica, calendula and comfrey mix for healing wounds or chapped skin. This can also be used on pet paws. We do have barely enough time that I could do a custom infusion. The standard sounds really nice to me! Anything in the Paintbox Soapworks Halloween update looking good to you? https://paintboxsoapworks.com/new-limited-edition/2023-weenie-collection/ I think I may have put these on my Pinterest when they first came out, but I'm most interested in Let Me In At Your Window and Nightwalker Soap and scrub, and there are still GC or older collection soaps I have not yet tried. If you have a furry friend living with you, what sort of treats do they like? Beans is prone to pancreatitis so he's actually somewhat limited on treats -- they need to be lower in fat. I give him things with chicken or low cal peanut butter (Zeke's PB training treats are in the pouch). He is however, allowed homemade treats, and most types of dry biscuit treats. Just nothing beef, salmon etc as they tend to be higher fat. What is your feelings on seasonal mugs? Yes or, no? Too many in your house or bring them on?? Complicated. I love Halloween mugs -- one of my very favorites was a big sparkly spider mug I received in a previous switch witch and that sadly lost all its paint in the dishwasher. I also still ADORE my Disney poison apple mug that I similarly received from a witch. That said, I just got rid of a load of mugs at the Goodwill because my cupboard was jammed. So I will say: I will not say no, but it's not something for which I have a NEED.
Are your wishlists - Amazon, Etsy, etc - up to date, and if so, are they all linked somewhere that I can find them? Yes! And I think they are in my signature. If they don't work, please let the ringleaders know so they can poke me!
Do you have anything you use every day that you wouldnt mind getting more of? I think I listed this on my questionnaire, but tiny hand cream tubes and lib balm for my purse are always needed. Anything you love or need to have from Adagio or Rishi teas? I'm not a giant fan of Adagio, but I really like the Rishi Masala Chai, Golden Yunnan, and ALL their oolongs are terrific! Nocturne Alchemy just dropped their Halloween update! You like the looks of anything? https://nocturnealchemy.com/collections/limited-collection I don't see a thing I can't live without. Is there anything you would like from the Weenie update? I will say that while this used to be my favorite update of the year, my changing body chemistry (thanks perimenopause) has made my relationship with patchouli and musks fraught, and I've never been the biggest gourmand fan. I'm currently in a big frankincense and sandalwood phase. This year the following sound like things I would like to try (and decants are welcome, not just bottles): The Witches Have a Fire Again Fig, Autumn Amber & Tobacco Atmo An Autumn Stroll for a Pumpkin Man Halloween Cat Headless A Man With A Haunted House for a Head Is He...You Know? Things Are Fine How do you feel about stickers? If positively, are there any themes you'd rather not have stickers of? The only place I have stickers is my water bottle and travel mug. They have to be work appropriate. What about crystals, cool rocks, and gemstones? I love them and have way too many. How do you feel about Squishmallows and Squishables? (They have mini and micro sizes for those who like cute plushies but don't have a lot of space.) I am not a big plushie person. My dog would immediately claim them Would you wear enamel pins with chains that are meant to be put on lapels? (Something like this.) Nope! Speaking of enamel pins... The Pickety Witch's Autumn and Halloween collection just dropped. Has anything caught your eye? No need for pins here, thanks! I used to make mobiles out of paper cranes, would you appreciate something like this? if so, what size restrictions do you have, if any? ie., should it take up less space vertically or horizontally? color palette preference? I don't have a lot of space, but if one were made for me, I'd put it in my office hanging above my filing cabinet and bright colors would be appreciated. ordering bulbs from https://oldhousegardens.com and was wondering if my witchee would like some. ( I am always willing to try bulbs even though the squirrels get them every year. I love crocus, tulips, and hyacinths. I love peonies, but am not sure where I'd stick them. Lilies I don't love. Would you like something like "sock arms" if I find time to craft? (Sometimes I make a pattern called Toast or Toasty {one has a thumb the other is just a tube} http://www.afriendtoknitwith.com/2008/09/toasttoasty.html. here are other photos from my blog: https://www.elkaknits.com/?p=845 ) -- If so what sort of colors? Sure! I love black, gray, orange, red, green, and blue! Witchee, what's your take on seasonal-themed Washi tape? It is awesome and would be wasted one me.
What about seasonal treats from Trader Joe's? We love nuts, Joe-joes, etc.
I make gluten-free biscotti this time of year, lemon and also cocoa varieties: does this sound good to you? Yes.
Would you like me to make a music mix for you? I kick it old school with a burned CD. If you're into this, name at least 3 to 5 genres of music you already love, or are interested to explore more of! No thanks. Music is J's thing and I honestly almost never listen to it on my own. Anything here you like? https://bserway.com/ I like the stickers and the Mask ov Deceit Tank is cool. Anything you'd like from my Ren Fest? There is an outstanding garlic based shop I'll be going to next weekend, for my annual stock up of their spice blends & garlic oil blends. Any other Renny stuff that you like? Nothing in particular, but if you've read all this, I trust you to use your judgment! know we are looking at a lot of candles, but if you are into looking at more (and it is ok to say you are not), do any of these strike your fancy? https://www.lakewoodwax.com/candlesforacause (Feel free to take a look at their current and signature scents too but I wanted to highlight these fundraiser scents first!) The Jaguar sounds good as does The Night Before Thanksgiving If you are a person who appreciates tarot and oracle decks, do you have a strong preference about receiving new ones vs gently/barely used? I would be fine with gently used, but honestly I never use the decks I have Are you a Studio Ghibli fan, and if so, what are your feelings about fan made art featuring characters? I am not a fan Want anything from LUSH? Here's the link specifically to their Halloween drop (https://www.lush.com/us/en_us/c/halloween) BUT, feel free to peruse all of it. I will admit to not following the link, but my basic lush line is: I love bath bombs and melts and haircare, but not much else. Part 2 of the Autumnal/Halloween drop from Haus of Gloi is coming this weekend- take a look and see if anything is compelling! https://www.hausofgloi.com (fall part 2 is live on Sunday, here is a list of what is coming: https://www.hausofgloi.com/blogs/haus-herald/fall-part-2) Nothing I can't live without.
Also, I live in Philly and will use ANY reason to spend time at the Mütter Museum- anything of interest (including, but not limited to, the well-loved BPAL exclusive for the museum, Ü?) https://www.muttermuseumstore.org I love a lot of it. If you think I'll like it, I bet I will If you are so inclined, do you want or need any natural items or ingredients for spellwork that could be collected from forests, ocean, fields or stream? I also have access to oak gall ink and various other esoteric substances Any and all of that would be welcome. Are you a fan of the show Cobra Kai? I like it (Team Johnny!), but am not a huge fan Do you enjoy any of the scented items from Victoria's Secret? BIG no Would you be interested in receiving a silver locket with papyrus and herbs inside, as a protective amulet? You bet So Witchee mine, are you a spellworker? - any interest in acorns from a tree known as The Mother Oak at my Ren Fest grounds. It is the biggest tree I've ever seen in MI. It is cared for by tree scientists from MSU. It is the mom to every other oak on the grounds. Saturday is Mabon & I will go & gather acorns before the park opens to patrons as I do each year. But this time it's actual Mabon. So Witchee dearest, would you like some? That is an awesome idea, but I actually gather my own every year! Witchee, do you like anything from Lenny Mud? No thank you.

Halloween 2023 update, thoughts
Sweet 13-year aged patchouli, peru balsam, white oakmoss, French lavender, spikenard, bourbon vanilla, and sugar cane. I don't see anything not to like here, so I took a chance and got a bottle. October Perfume Oil Dry, cold autumn wind. A rustle of red leaves, a touch of smoke and sap in the air. Decant ordered - I love my old bottle, and wanted to compare old with new. Pumpkin Latte Perfume Oil Espresso, pumpkin syrup, smoky vanilla bean, milk, raw sugar, and a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. Sounds a little too sweet for me. I like sweet scents sometimes, but I'm picky about them. Pumpkin Spice Everything Perfume Oil Literally everything. Pumpkin spice it all. A rich blend of traditional spices: cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, and clove. Never have tried this. I feel like Plunder is the only spice scent I really need, although I would try this for sure if I crossed paths with it. Pumpkin Trash Bag Perfume Oil A crinkly, crunchy, cartoony jack-o-lantern scent, stuffed full of leaves and eager to please: orange blossom, blood orange, and orange hard candy with pumpkin pulp and smushed leaves. Bottled - sounds too fun to pass up and can't really imagine it disappointing in any way. Samhain Perfume Oil Truly the scent of autumn itself — damp woods, fir needle, and black patchouli with the gentlest touches of warm pumpkin, clove, nutmeg, allspice, sweet red apple and mullein. I have a few different vintages, in bottle or decant form, and decided to get a decant this year. I never get tired of this scent! Sugar Skull Perfume Oil Vibrant with the joy and sweetness of life in death! A blend of five sugars, lightly dusted with candied fruits. See Samhain above - same with this! Things are Fine Perfume Oil The blissful contentment of committing to exist in the moment: white sandalwood smoke, hinoki, white tea, and falling leaves. I went for a decant, it sounds great but white sandalwood went out of control in another scent recently (on my skin)... I think it was The Queen and The Page? Vintage Frankenstein Blow Mold Perfume Oil A shell of milky plastic surrounding a puff of mint chocolate chip-scented air, illuminated from within by 40 watts of glowing amber. No chocolate chips for me thanks! Well, not in perfume form. Vintage Ghost Blow Mold Perfume Oil Milky-white plastic and a hollow gasp of candy-corn breath, illuminated from within by 40 watts of glowing amber. I'd try this if I crossed paths with it, but decided to skip it for now. The 40 watts part kind of worried me, sounds kind of ozoney? Dusk in Autumn A Little Silver Scimitar Perfume Oil Foamy orris and ambergris accord pierced by a sliver of white fir needle, moonflower, and cypress. I can pass on this for now, sounds like it would be soapy on my skin. A Timid Twinkling Golden Star Perfume Oil Tuberose and sweet amber. This sounds lovely but I'm not too certain about bpal's tuberose note. I ordered a decant, we'll see. The Witches Have a Fire Again Perfume Oil Smoldering spiced oak boughs and pine pitch crackling with golden sap. Decant! I like oak, I just hope the pine pitch doesn't do anything weird on me. Witches’ Currant Cake Perfume Oil Red currant and rosewater gooseberry cake with a sugar-dusted gingerbread crumble topping. I almost blind bottled this one too, but went for a decant instead. This kind of scent can be unpredictable on me but it does sound lovely. Witches’ Tea Perfume Oil Blackberry thorn tea. I ordered a bottle. I have been enjoying the lab's blackberry scents, and this sounded great. Halloween Atmosphere and Linen Sprays 2023 Passed on all of these - already have enough home scents Fig, Autumn Amber, and Tobacco Atmosphere & Linen Spray October Bonfire Atmosphere & Linen Spray Burning leaves and smoldering applewood. Pumpkin Incense Atmosphere & Linen Spray A caramelized pumpkin kyphi. Halloween Bath Oil 2023 Hard Candy Bath Oil Release your cares into a warm, soothing bath of liquefied hard candies. Passed on this, the scent didn't sound that exciting to me. Halloween Hair Gloss 2023 Passed on these because I have tons of hg already Autumn Fougere Hair Gloss A campfire cologne with a cluster of musk-sweet leaves and a hint of leather. Maple Leaves, Golden Moss, and Amber Hair Gloss Palo Santo and Patchouli Hair Gloss Pumpkin Buttercream Hair Gloss Pumpkin puree whipped into thick folds of buttercream. Samhain Hair Gloss Truly the scent of autumn itself — damp woods, fir needle, and black patchouli with the gentlest touches of warm pumpkin, clove, nutmeg, allspice, sweet red apple and mullein. Heloise & Abelard’s Spooky Duets Belladonna Berries and Mandrake Root Perfume Oil Pass for now..it sounds a little like Screaming Mandragora (if I got the name right?) which I already have, even though it's just an imp. Congealed Blood and Oozing Viscera Perfume Oil Passed on this, just wasn't calling to me. Grave Moss and Bone Splinters Perfume Oil Decant! Sounds like Hessian of the Hollow which I love. Human Animals Bringer of Evil Perfume Oil A foreboding tremble of poppy leaf, cerulean musk, violet grapefruit, mimosa, orris butter, and benzoin. Pass, not calling out to me. Elimanzer Perfume Oil Strangely sinister frumenty: oatmeal, heavy cream, butter, salt, and a whiff of brimstone. Pass, the oatmeal note didn't sound good to me, also heavy cream and butter could go badly on me. Elizabeth’s Imps Perfume Oil A promise in the shadows: black molasses, cinnamon bark, and glowing amber. Decant! This actually sounds really nice. Lady of Saintonge Perfume Oil Perfumed black silk encasing a mangled, blood-spattered talon of white sandalwood, ivory accord, and inky fur. Pass for now, didn't quite sound like something I would like. The Corn Spirit Perfume Oil Rye stalks, corn husks, hay absolute, tilled soil, and German chamomile. Passed on this too, I like hay and soil, but not the other notes. The Hound and the Milk-White Doe Perfume Oil Graceful, regal, elegant, and cursed: golden sandalwood and liquidambar, cardamom, coconut milk, jasmine sambac, white petal rosewater, and labdanum. I think I passed on this too - sounds too strong for some reason. Witch-Birds Perfume Oil Blinding-white mallow and vanilla sandalwood streaked with indigo opium pod accord, velvet black violet petals, wild plum, and opoponax. Bottle ordered! Sounds interesting, took a chance. Monster Milk Ghost Milk Perfume Oil Goat’s milk, marshmallow, vanilla cashmere, honey dust, and white chocolate. Pass on honey dust. Invisible Man Milk Perfume Oil Sheer musk and an exhale of evaporated milk. Pass, for now. Mummy Milk Perfume Oil Condensed milk wrapped in coconut shavings and tea-stained linen with a hint of bitumen, myrrh, and embalming resins. Decant - this is the only Milk one I was somewhat interested in, I think myrrh sounds nice in this combination. Vampire Milk Perfume Oil A creamy coagulation of clove bud and goat’s milk. Pass, clove can misbehave on me. Witch Milk Perfume Oil Honey-infused goat milk, incense smoke, yew boughs, black pepper, mandrake root, ambrette seed, red currant, kitchen herbs, and fly agaric accord. Pass, the combination didn't grab me. Wolf Milk Perfume Oil Crunchy leaves, well-worn black leather, cardamom pod, moonlit yellow bergamot, woodmoss, molasses, and buttermilk. Pass, although now looking again, might be interesting? I'll watch reviews. Zombie Milk Perfume Oil Grave-dry rice milk, black moss, hemp fibers, bone-white sandalwood and orris root, and bog osmanthus. Pass, didn't grab me. Nightmare Novellas A Boy and His Zombie Perfume Oil
Zombie-green lime hard candies with a glob of marshmallow white matter and a splat of cherry viscera. Passed on this A Melancholy of Goths Perfume Oil
Clove smoke, champaca incense, plum velvet, and hairspray. Sounds ok except for clove and hairspray - two notes that could misbehave An Autumn Stroll for a Pumpkin Man Perfume Oil
Russet dried maple leaves crunching around a jack o’lantern splashed with bay rum, curling with cigar smoke. Could not resist a decant. Nothing sounds bad here, except it could be too strong and/or aftershavey. Butterscotch and Gummy Candy Witch Perfume Oil
Butterscotch brittle, burnt coffee beans, and sour apple gummies. 3 notes I don't really care about in perfume! Don’t Play Fetch with a Teenage Werewolf Perfume Oil Honey biscuits, warm auburn fur, and a squished chocolate nougat bar. Another 3 notes I don't really care for! Halfway to Halloween Perfume Oil
Sweet fig and golden almond with buttery amber and a flutter of autumn leaves. This sounded great and I took a chance on a bottle. Halloween Cat Perfume Oil
Cacao and coconut husk dusted on shining black fur, illuminated by electric green mandarin and raw amber. The combination didn't sound like something I would like. Headless Perfume Oil Black leather and brimstone alight with red peppercorn and blood amber. Kind of tempting but pass mostly because of the peppercorn, it can misbehave sometimes. It Jittered Out of the Woods Perfume Oil
Corn husks and freshly uprooted gourds in a rustle of twigs, dead oak leaves, and a faint whiff of myrrh. Passed, not calling me for some reason, although it doesn't sound too bad now.. Make a Face Perfume Oil
A surrealist swirl of ethereal yellow bergamot, white pomegranate rind, lemon peel, and white musk. Thought about it but ended up passing altogether. I think I already have something with lemon peel and white musk, and I think it was too loud and perfumey. Man With a Haunted House for a Head Perfume Oil
Creaking oak floorboards coated in dust. A trembling sandalwood spiderweb writhes with long-buried memories. I passed but now I'm more curious... What could this smell like? Slumber Ghoul Perfume Oil
Sleepy lavender bud, the memory of warm milk, a splinter of bone dust, and a clawful of upturned grave loam. Decant - I love lavender plus earth/soil notes. The Harvest Haunt Perfume Oil A thick, viscous blackened pumpkin incense. Ordered a bottle! Was too intrigued to pass it up, but it's a risk. Could be really strong and go off the rails on my skin. Wayfaring Stranger Perfume Oil An offering of footstep dust and rusted keys, raw tobacco and whiskey, coconut shells and candle wax. Pass for now, kind of hit-and-miss notes for me. Witch in the Woods Perfume Oil A tangle of blackthorn, mandrake root, and myrrh scratching through cypress boughs, blackberry resin, and incense smoke. I think I'most excited to try this, it just sounds so very Halloweenie! Pumpkin Patch Happy Hour Pumpkin Spice Absinthe Perfume Oil A recurring fave at the BPAL cantina. No, you’re not hallucinating: this pairing smells divine! Pass Pumpkin Spice Champagne Perfume Oil The bubbles from this calabaza go straight to your cabeza. Decant Pumpkin Spice Cranberry Vodka Perfume Oil Fun fact: they call this time of year “Fall” because of the difficulty of staying on your barstool after a few of these. Pass Pumpkin Spice Dark ‘N’ Stormy Perfume Oil In a mood? Pour one of these over it: extra spicy rum fizzed up with ginger beer and garnished with a lime wedge. Pass Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini Perfume Oil A triple shot with extra drizzle to keep you vamping till the sun comes up. Pass Pumpkin Spice Hot Buttered Rum Perfume Oil Time to get cozy next to a crackling fire and let the season enfold you in its spicy, buttery arms. Pass
Pumpkin Spice Margarita Perfume Oil You might regret this in the morning, but tonight is all about living in the moment! Served in a salt-rimmed gourd. Pass Pumpkin Spice Piña Colada Perfume Oil You’ll just have to trust the bartender on this one! An extra loco coco to encourage beach goths to attempt some moonlight skinny-dipping. Decant, this actually sounds really fun. Looking forward to trying it!
Switch Witch 2023

Either is good, sea colors for the bathroom, black and white and greys for the kitchen Would you like any of Cat Coven's Halloween goods? It's her original artwork based on medieval art.

My hair isn't grown out enough yet. Maybe next year.......
During my recent travels I got to experience the incredible delight of Serge Luten perfumers here in Paris (imagine if the Lab and Anna Sui made babies inside a Cadbury Cream Egg decorated with stained glass windows and...you've come close to the experience of being in that shop).

Oooh yes! heavy fingering to bulky, any color, any fiber other than mohair (i don't like the itchies from the flyaways!) Anything you send will be loved! Provided my experiments work, would you be interested in a bar of homemade tallow soap? I promise I will not send you anything particularly suspect, so this is entirely contingent upon my competence.

I can also annoint and dress candles with TALs and herbs. Any interest? I also grow herbs which can be culinary or magical. I'd be happy to prepare a smudge or dry some herbs for your enjoyment. I currently have oregano (yellow and standard), mugwort, thyme, sage (purple or garden), tea peppermint, chives, lovage, plantain, comfrey, raspberry leaf, and yarrow. I'm probably forgetting something. I also make salves! My go to in an arnica, calendula and comfrey mix for healing wounds or chapped skin. This can also be used on pet paws.

Seven Spooky Nights
Switch Witch Fall 2023
The food here is all chain restaurants and not my favorite. Maybe Michael’s or Joann’s, Ross or TJ Maxx.
How do you feel about ILNP nail polish and what are your favs from the new Cosmos collection and any others on their site??FUCKING LOVE. I own Cygnus Loop and another chrome one. I’ll have to find it to get the name. I don’t know how to do magnetic polish, nor do I have a magnet. But I love all the freaky colors. The weird holographic, chrome, jelly, and metallic. If it’s a dark or intensely weird color, I will like it. Would you be interested in anything from Alobudra? I’m not seeing descriptions. I don’t take baths and probably don’t need more tarot cards. 😆 I live in Japan, so are there any more “traditional” Japanese souvenirs you’d like to have (think chopsticks, tenugui, washi paper, etc.)?Any of these sound really nice. I also really love Japanese incense, especially Shoyeido. If there are any inexpensive ones not available in the US, that would be super! Simple tea cups would be used, too. Little incense burners. Small traditional home decor items Brujita- holy shit yes. That Tuberose hydrosol sounds tdf. Honestly, any of the skincare for combo or mature skin except anything with rose geranium or the cucumber hydrosol. They sound AMAZING and if you aren’t my witch, I’m going to have to order from this shop at some point. Would you be interested in any jewelry or other items made with tiny bones from this shop? I am worried my dogs would find these and eat the bones. 😕. They are very nosy and naughty. If you like tea, is there anything you would like from Bird & Blend? Tea is my thing and lots of these sound wonderful. Too many to list. I’m not big on green tea or medicinal tea, and licorice flavors aren’t my favorite. Otherwise, I’d try so many of these. Bloomchic- I really do not need clothes right now. I have too many Poesie Tea- I LOVE tea. Black tea is my favorite, esp Lapsang Souchong blends. I’m sure I could find tons I would love on here. Special favorites are Masala chai, Earl Gray and its iterations, caramel, florals, vanilla, chocolate, citrus, other fruit except cherry. No licorice flavors. Not a fan of green tea or strictly medicinal teas. Everything else is fair game Would you like anything from Trader Joe's? (Pumpkin products are, sadly, not in stores yet, but they will be during this round!) I’m sure I would love lots of things, but I have never shopped there. I love foodie stuff. Salty/spicy snacks would be especially welcome. Do you have any Halloween traditions? The whole carves pumpkins, gets dressed in costume, goes to a few Halloween parties, then we do blow out trick or treating (even though my kids are older teens, they’re still into it). The next day, we take out all of our aggressions on the pumpkins and beat them to a pulp with sticks. Some years we do more, but those are the ones we do every year. What about Halloween-related fandoms? (ie. The Nightmare Before Christmas). I like vintage Halloween. 1970s and earlier back to Victorian era. non-U.S folks!!! We always end up asking what we'd like from your exotic-to-us locales, but do you have any wishes for things from the States? I am in US. But would love to try any interesting regional stuff from wherever you are. How do you feel about cherry things? Check out Cherry Republic and let me know if anything catches your eye! Similarly, are you into fancy flavors of olive oil or vinegar? Check out Fustini's and let me know if anything appeals! We also have an awesome store for jams and sauce, American Spoon which you should totally check out! Would you like some locally sourced maple syrup? Finally, I live in a place known for fudge. Do you like it and/or are their flavors you particularly like? My favorite shop is Murdick's if you need to see a flavor list. Fustini’s: The infused olive oils sound great, except I don’t think I’d get much use for the butter or sage and wild mushroom. I am a sucker for balsamic vinegar, but I’m not sure I’d use the very sweet ones like vanilla or chocolate. I’d try any of the other vinegars. American Spoon: anything here but cherry. Seriously. All the jam. Yum. Fudge: Chocolate, vanilla, and the caramel sea salt one look good. I love Greenwoodtree’s chai fudge! IKEA: the tree lamp and wreath are cool. The plug in purple lights, too. Penzey’s: there’s almost too much to mention. I use A LOT of Mexican spices, lemon pepper, Italian spices, Mediterranean spices, and Tony Chachere’s- anything good on grilled chicken would be great. I grill up extra tofu, chicken and pork and put it in the fridge and freezer for lunches and quick dinners. Indian spices are also very welcome. I use A LOT of vanilla. Since I’ve gotten a stand mixer, I’ve been doing more baking. I make a lot of Asian food. Not sure how authentic it is, but Korean is a favorite as well as fancier ramen from Japan. I’d love to get better at Indian. Colourpop: I just do not wear much make-up. Maybe some tinted lip oil in reds and purples? I try to do skincare, but that kind of shit the bed when the kids went back to school and I haven’t been keeping up with it like my skin likes.
Anything of interest from Cellar Door? (They have candles and soaps.)The Halloween and Woodsy candles sound nice. Not really a fan of pumpkin notes in candles, but the others looked good! No bar soap, please. I am very well stocked and need to use what I have. Are you into wax melts, candles, incense, room sprays, or none of the above? Any of the above, but especially room sprays and either Japanese or loose incense. Would you like anything from Luvmilk's Monster Mash? I didn’t really see anything that flipped my lid I dye yarn. Are you a person who crafts with such? What fiber, weights, and colors would tickle your fancy? Would you rather have two different 100g skeins or enough of the same something for a bigger project?Yes!!! I haven’t been able to try lots of different fibers, so I’d be good with a surprise. I feel pretty confident I can knit with any fiber. I’ve done cotton, linen, superwash, non-superwash, mohair, alpaca, silk. I have needles in lots of sizes from tiny to super-bulky and have saved patterns in all weights. I like either dark, moody colors (dark jewel tones) like Farmer’s Daughter or Malabrigo or dark colors splashed with weird neon brights like Hedgehog Fibers and Madeline Tosh. I like making clothing, so one bigger project would be my preference. Provided my experiments work, would you be interested in a bar of homemade tallow soap? I promise I will not send you anything particularly suspect, so this is entirely contingent upon my competence. This is probably the only bar soap I’d want! Do homemade caramels or shortbread tickle your fancy? Hell yes. Either or both What are your chocolate preferences? White, milk, dark? What inclusions (fruit, nuts, none, etc.)? Gimme as many details as possible. I like milk chocolate and white chocolate. I like toffee, caramel, and nuts, except walnuts. Berries, except cherries, orange, crispy bits like rice crispies or cocoa beans, sea salt. Not really a fan of coconut. I make mixed media art (like collaging kinda). Is a mixed media art piece (small like an altoids tin or small canvas) something you'd be interested in?Yes What music platform do you use (Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, etc.)? Do you like receiving music recommendations? Spotify. I am hard to pick music for because I am weirdly picky about it, but I’m open to new stuff. I think I listed my Spotify on the spreadsheet, but this is my main playlist- mostly up to date: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37bsCah5Ae2j1828Grkc5U?si=jeyKUbxXRyea8z0UiL8CIw I’m a knitting kind of witch, would you appreciate a pair of hand knit socks. If yes, would you like them in a particular colour? Yes. Dark jewel tones or weird super brights What type of spooky season imagery do you like? (Ie. bats, ghosts, vintage Halloween, etc.): bats, snakes, skulls, monsters (any and all), and vintage Halloween from the 1970s and earlier. Realistic gore isn’t really my thing, but stylized gore is totally fine. Astrid's Autumn Line and Anniversary Tea Party just dropped. Anything you want? Aura, Hecate, Nothing Gold Can Stay, Blackberry Poundcake, Citrus Petit Four, Orange Blossom & Lemon Biscuit, Rosey Blueberry Preserves sun-dried heirloom tomatoes: fuck yes dried ancho chile peppers - can be whole halves or ground into a delicious powder: absolutely sugar-free candied pecans and walnuts or almonds: I can’t do artificial sweeteners or stevia gourmet quality fudge in many flavors (formerly from my ETSY shop which I had to close until I have my own home again) please give me an idea the kinds of flavors you like. My more popular ones are Penuche, Choc & PB, Pumpkin pie, Forest fruit (with cherries, blueberries and cranberries), Vegan chocolate YES YES YES. I loved the Chai, and any kind of chocolate I can use to make hot chocolate. Pumpkin pie sounds good, too. dried italian plums (pitted)maybe? I’ve never had them before sugar-free canned plum or logan berry jam: maybe loganberry if no artificial sweeteners or stevia freshly dried rosemary, thyme, basil, parsley individually or in combo: I’ll pass. I have more herbs than I can process right now almond flour baked goods (low carb, sugar free, and gluten free) - give me examples of savory and sweet things you'd like: I am not familiar with almond flour, but historically I’ve not been crazy about store bought gluten-free baked goods. I cannot do artificial sweeteners or stevia. I don’t know if these would work well for me. Might you like a witch hat? Later this month I'm taking a class at an area museum where I'm supposed to decorate 2 hats. Also I crochet wicked cute witchy hats: as much as I would love one, I’m not sure I would wear it or be able to display it and care for it properly. SW 2023 9/16 catch-up Anything you want from my favorite local tea shop? www.fridaytea.com. I put together a wish list there were so many.

I can also annoint and dress candles with TALs and herbs. Any interest? YES to handmade soap and dressed candles- esp cleansing, protection, money, attraction I also grow herbs which can be culinary or magical. I'd be happy to prepare a smudge or dry some herbs for your enjoyment. I currently have oregano (yellow and standard), mugwort, thyme, sage (purple or garden), tea peppermint, chives, lovage, plantain, comfrey, raspberry leaf, and yarrow. I'm probably forgetting something. No thank you! I have herbs and make my own fumitory bundles. I also make salves!

We do have barely enough time that I could do a custom infusion.YES Anything in the Paintbox Soapworks Halloween update looking good to you? https://paintboxsoapworks.com/new-limited-edition/2023-weenie-collection/ Cathedral of Pumpkins, Demeter Forsaken, Pokeberry, September in oil, candle, lotion, wax melt, or sorbetto If you have a furry friend living with you, what sort of treats do they like?We have 3 medium-big dogs. They like any edible treats. Bandanas. Stuffed toys and squeaker toys are HUGE favorites, but will be completely destroyed in minutes. VERY hard chewers- like they destroy kong toys for hard chewers. We’ve never had a squeaker last more than 20 minutes. 1. What is your feelings on seasonal mugs? Yes or, no? Too many in your house or bring them on?? LOVE.
2. Are your wishlists - Amazon, Etsy, etc - up to date, and if so, are they all linked somewhere that I can find them? They really aren’t up to date, but I included them to give an idea of things I like. - Do you have anything you use every day that you wouldnt mind getting more of?

Witch in the Woods Halloween Cat Don’t Play Fetch with a Teenage Werewolf A Melancholy of Goths Pumpkin Trash Bag Things Are Fine Vintage Frankenstein Blow Mold The Hound and the Milk-White Doe The Lady of Saintonge How do you feel about stickers? If positively, are there any themes you'd rather not have stickers of? I love stickers, but don’t have tons of places to put stickers. Nothing is really off limits, but I don’t put curse words or ACAB related stuff on my car What about crystals, cool rocks, and gemstones?YES. LOVE. I have a pretty decent collection, but am always interested in nice specimens, especially natural crystals. I make jewelry and have been more interested in faceted gemstones lately and anything made with jet. How do you feel about Squishmallows and Squishables? (They have mini and micro sizes for those who like cute plushies but don't have a lot of space.) no thank you unless it’s for a kid and is a mini. My dogs destroy stuffed animals AND our house has 3 kids who collected stuffed animals. 2 of the kids still collect them, but don’t have much space for more.
Would you wear enamel pins with chains that are meant to be put on lapels? (Something like this.) probably not. I don’t really have this kind of clothing. Speaking of enamel pins... The Pickety Witch's Autumn and Halloween collection just dropped. Black Phillip Baba Yaga Potion bottle Vampire bat Mabon Raven May Queen Starlight Fawn- either color Brigid’s Lamb Starlight Rabbit I used to make mobiles out of paper cranes, would you appreciate something like this? if so, what size restrictions do you have, if any? ie., should it take up less space vertically or horizontally? color palette preference yes, no size restrictions, color pallet- jewel tones, maximalist Japanese papers, metallics, whatever.
I have a post or two about ordering bulbs from https://oldhousegardens.com and was wondering if my witchee would like some. I will try to order before they sell out of everything. Because bulbs are easy peasy. *must be hardy to 7b Woodlands Sprites sampler Purple-headed garlick Blue Grecian windflower Jack-in-the pulpit Turkish glory of the snow Dutchman’s breeches Winter aconite Snake’s head Fritillary Atkinsii Snowdrop Spanish bluebells Gravetye Giant Snowflake Surprise Lily Yet Another NEW Question: I know we have been offered scarves, socks, etc but my favorite gifts are 'sock arms' as my recipients call them. Here is a picture from my blog: https://www.elkaknits.com/?p=845 Would you like something like that if I find time to craft? If so what sort of colors? Yes! I knit, but I love these and haven’t made any for myself. Prefer black or moody jewel tones Witchee, what's your take on seasonal-themed Washi tape? It would be fun, but I don’t know where I would use it.
What about seasonal treats from Trader Joe's? I’ve never been to TJs, but I like salty, cheesy, spicy snacks or sweet snacks like toffee, caramel, sour candy, berries/fruit,
I make gluten-free biscotti this time of year, lemon and also cocoa varieties: does this sound good to you? I’m not sure I would enjoy gluten-free. I’ve tried some gf things from the grocery store and was not a fan
Would you like me to make a music mix for you? I kick it old school with a burned CD. If you're into this, name at least 3 to 5 genres of music you already love, or are interested to explore more of! I don’t have a place to play CDs.
SW 2023
How about some dishcloths, for the kitchen? Or spa cloths for the bathroom? If so, which? Any particular colors?? Either, whatever you'd feel like making, I use both. And no particular color preferences, but speckled yarn trips me out because it looks like stuff is stuck to it. Would you like any of Cat Coven's Halloween goods? It's her original artwork based on medieval art. (It's a limited edition of everything, so hopefully things arent sold out yet.) Look at The Green Salmon's webpage The Green Salmon - do you fancy any of the teas, coffees etc? It's a favorite place for me to stop on the coast, and I'll take any excuse to drive to the ocean. What are your favorite halloween/samhain treats to eat? Please be specific. I have access to various candy stores, including healthy candy lol. I love fruit candy and gummies, specific to fall I used to like caramel apple sugar babies when I could find them. I even like those weird peanut butter taffy things in limited quantity. Would you like any of these Snag Halloween tights? And if so, which of their sizes? https://snagtights.com/pages/halloween The fern and toadstools are fun. I love the familiar but I never wear skirts that short. I generally go size F in Snag. Also is there anything you would particularly like from the UK? 8/30 What Halloween things off RedBubble do you like? Share link if possible. 8/31 Is there anything you might want from Japan? Snacks (autumn flavors are out~), nerdy stuff, cute stuff anything! honestly? a shokupan pan, I'm sure there are tons of other little things, I'll come back here. is there anything being removed from site or a virtual con scent you are interested in trying? think I'm ok here. Moonalisa.....she just released her new Halloween scents, lip balm, candles, and soaps, want anything? (mooscents.com) no thanks 9/1 I was wondering whether Tim Tams in any incarnation would tempt my witchee? I like them but I'm not the wild fan that some bpalistas are On the less sweet side, are there any other Australian things you might be tempted by? Do you enjoy fanfic? I would be happy to write something for you, and/or read/comment upon/gush over thing(s) you've written, if that's something you'd enjoy... All of my fan fic is in my own head, but I'm happy to read it Would you appreciate rare TAL decant(s) in 1 mL amber roll-on bottle(s)? sure. things of mind clearing, get-your-butt-in-gear type things would be particularly useful How do you feel about enamel pins? If positively, which fandoms or topics would you like? I LOVE pins. I put them on my knapsack. Fun critters, smartalecky sayings, pins from places (I get souvenir pins, I have some from virtual vacation swaps where my gifter has sent me pins from their place in the world, etc.) I have a couple pins from The Pickety Witch that are delightful. 9/2 I make lightweight hairfalls, the kind that can be attached to a pony tail or to pig tails. They are good for those of us that are more tender-headed. I use a variety of materials like shibori ribbon, and puffy yarns and pieces of lace and silk. You can use them for every day or as part of your Weenie costume. Is this of interest to you? If so tell me what length, what color(s) and if you want one for a pony tail or two for pig tails. Definite interest! Ponytail, my hair is alas too thin to pigtail now. Length, I dunno, 20-24" ? I have almost tailbone-length hair. Jeweltoned colors to show up against my dark hair, reds, greens, blues, honestly anything as long as it's vibrant. I have a new dance skirt that's red, navy, and lime green tie dye so I would kinda love an accessory that jives with that.
During my recent travels I got to experience the incredible delight of Serge Luten perfumers here in Paris (imagine if the Lab and Anna Sui made babies inside a Cadbury Cream Egg decorated with stained glass windows and...you've come close to the experience of being in that shop). Anyway, after spending gobs of monies, they loaded me up with delectable samples of their insanely expensive wares- do you want some???
Haus Of Gloi just had their Halloween update! Anything appeal to you? https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1 9/3 I just came across this Etsy shop (TheGrayMuse) and I WILL BE ORDERING and wondering if you would like something from there as well? Future Primitive Soaps has released it's fall stuff. Would you like anything from there dearest witchee? https://futureprimitivesoap.co.uk probably not. I had a bar of their soap and loved the smell, but it's too highly fragranced for the beloved I harvested some elderberries yesterday and I have a lot more out there, so I made a batch of elderberry syrup. Would you appreciate a 4oz bottle of it? sure! Do you want anything from Sea Witch Botanicals (I can buy it locally from shops)? no thanks Hirons Drug Store - which is basically an Unbelievable place to browse for every kind of eclectic, fun, spooky, weird, and even useful thing you could want - so tell me some Odds And Ends of things you like or want, I know this is open ended, sorry - - gadgetry, stickers, toys, pens, costumery, snacks, decoration, kitchen stuff, etc pens and notepads are always good, little fall decorations....this sounds like our downtown Ace Hardware, which is like the best ever Gift Certificates you'd like to places that are local to you? Nothing specifically comes to mind How do you feel about ILNP nail polish and what are your favs from the new Cosmos collection and any others on their site?? dark matter and shooting star are cool looking. I've never tried theirs, my go-to indie polish is KB Shimmer but I'm certainly open to others Would you be interested in anything from Alobudra? https://alobudrallc.company.site/products/ don't think so are there any more “traditional” Japanese souvenirs you’d like to have (think chopsticks, tenugui, washi paper, etc.)? stationery/pens, chopsticks 9/4 Would you like to try Brujita Skincare ? (Ignore the out of stock except for In Your Room collection and Inner Child Ritual candle.) Would you be interested in any jewelry or other items made with tiny bones from this shop? There are some Halloween themed ones: https://www.tinybonesandthings.com/s/shop While this is really cool, I think I'm a look-but-not-wear on these If you like tea, is there anything you would like from Bird & Blend? https://www.birdandblendtea.com/ anything within my general tea parameters 9/5 BloomChic - just discovered them - Take a look at the Halloween stuff, and tell me the link and the size of whatever thing you like! Very cute but I have too darn many clothes and need to pare down. Poesie Tea! Do you like? Some of my favorites are from this company. https://www.poesieperfume.com/loose-leaf-tea The peach chai, albert and victoria, london smoke and fog sound interesting 9/6 Would you like anything from Trader Joe's? (Pumpkin products are, sadly, not in stores yet, but they will be during this round!) I love TJ's, but I'm one of the lucky ones that has a local one. Never really tried their fall stuff though. Do you have any Halloween traditions? Usualy we dance in a halloween show, but I guess it's become a winter ghost stories show. I put out candy for the kids, and I do a little quiet remembrance for Día de los Muertos What about Halloween-related fandoms? (ie. The Nightmare Before Christmas) nothing in particular. I'm really more of a fall person than a particularly weenie person non-U.S folks!!! We always end up asking what we'd like from your exotic-to-us locales, but do you have any wishes for things from the States? I am stateside but I love getting local-to-my-person things. I really love getting honey from different places because it's so interesting how varied it is. I make things from thrifted sweaters that I cut up & make things from. Do you like armwarmers? yes! Long or short? can use either, but I have pretty big hands/arms so if you are my witch and need measurements let me know 😃 Solid color ( elegant) or funky stripes made from multiple sweaters? honestly, I can see the appeal of both. I like being goofy and eclectic, but I also wouldn't mind having something more appropriate to a long winter skirt outfit Fave colors? black, earth tones, rich saturated colors except yellow's not really a good color for me, anything else is good Is cashmere okay? sure, but handwashable would be better than anything that's dry clean only and I know some cashmere is that way Wool & related blends? ( I never use scratchy wool for arm warmers.) all good here. Do you like buttons used decoratively? go nuts! I also do coiled & sewn rope work- it's functional art I wrap the rope in fabric & add appliques. I just had my first art show with these- bowls, trivets ( that can hang on the wall when not in use), coasters. Is this something you'd like ? Oh, that sounds super cool! What sort of Halloween fabric? Whimsical? Witchy, bats, mushrooms, moths? I like nature-based or somber/atmospheric the best, or the silly cute critter stuff How gothy do you like? I like the aesthetic, but I'm not supergoth have velvets & sparkly stuff to work with too. What is your preference witchee? I tend to be more of a cotton/practical fabric person. I love the fancy stuff but it's more of an admire from a distance thing. 9/7 How do you feel about cherry things? Check out Cherry Republic and let me know if anything catches your eye! cherry is one of my favorite fruits/flavors. not sure on specifics, I'll look again, but I think I'd lean more towards sweeter offerings for fruit, not sure about cherry condiments Similarly, are you into fancy flavors of olive oil or vinegar? Check out Fustini's and let me know if anything appeals! Pretty covered here, we have an olive oil and vinegar store and I just stocked up, I love making dressings and other stuff out of interesting vinegars. We also have an awesome store for jams and sauce, American Spoon which you should totally check out! sour cherry and apricot preserves sound good, and I'm curious about the wheat and malt pancake mix Would you like some locally sourced maple syrup? sure Finally, I live in a place known for fudge. Do you like it and/or are their flavors you particularly like? My favorite shop is Murdick's if you need to see a flavor list. butter pecan, butterscotch, cherry, chocolate cherry all sound interesting, penuche and plain old chocolate are good too. And a slice of fudge would last me forever and a day because it's so rich I only eat a sliver at a time. Anything from the IKEA Halloween store catch your witchy eye? https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/campaigns/halloween/ not really my thing https://wildsoulriver.com I own the Magical Nature Tarot and love the feel of the cards.

Anything you see that you'd like? need to come back to this I live near a Penzey's Spice https://www.penzeys.com - do you cook? yes! cook, bake, candymake.... - Do you want fancy schmancy spices or spice blends?

For example egads I am asking lots of Qs Curio Spice Co, Diaspora etc do ethically sourced spices. - If you cook is there a type of cuisine you are interested in learning more about and would appreciate a starter pack of spices for that type of cooking? I don't really know of a whole bunch. Indian, Nepalese, Japanese are all cuisines I'm interested in exploring more Colourpop's Haunted Mansion collection dropped today. If you're interested in makeup or skin care, are you interested in anything from Colourpop? https://colourpop.com/ The multichome shadows look super fun but I need to look in more detail. Emo inside also looks lovely. Anything of interest from Cellar Door? (They have candles and soaps.) either candles or soaps. scents that sound good: seaside siesta, cypress grove for candles, or alpine shoreline, earthen glow, ginger fizz, walk in the woods, kitch-iti-kipi, manistee sands, honestly most of the outdoorsy ones sound really pretty Are you into wax melts, candles, incense, room sprays, or none of the above? Room sprays in more natural scents like citrus or pine, jar candles. No incense please, housemates can't handle them. Would you like anything from Luvmilk's Monster Mash? Werewolf boyfriend maybe in balt salts or milk bath I dye yarn. Are you a person who crafts with such? What fiber, weights, and colors would tickle your fancy? Would you rather have two different 100g skeins or enough of the same something for a bigger project? Avid crocheter, most of my regular projects are one or two-skein projects, mostly between worsted and fingering weight, though I do venture into bulky and lace weight on occasion. Provided my experiments work, would you be interested in a bar of homemade tallow soap? I promise I will not send you anything particularly suspect, so this is entirely contingent upon my competence. I am down for any handmade witchery. Do homemade caramels or shortbread tickle your fancy? This was actually my question, but I love both of these things 9/8 because I’m a knitting kind of witch, would you appreciate a pair of hand knit socks. If yes, would you like them in a particular colour? I have never had hand knit socks! No preference on color. What type of spooky season imagery do you like? (Ie. bats, ghosts, vintage Halloween, etc.) I like bare trees and blowing leaves, fall animals, moons, stuff like a moonlit pumpkin field with mist...more atmospheric and pensive than strictly halloweeny. Astrid's Autumn Line and Anniversary Tea Party just dropped. Anything you want? Flaxen sounds interesting, L’Araignée Opaline , Black Patent. They're all more things I'd like a sniffie of more than something I think would work out. Homemade and preserved food goodies - Which of these things would you like my dear witchie?

Later this month I'm taking a class at an area museum where I'm supposed to decorate 2 hats. Also I crochet wicked cute witchy hats. I think this sounds awesome. If it's a wearable hat, nothing too tall, or something like a fascinator would be lovely, or if it's something I could use as part of a fall/halloween decoration that would also be neat. 😃 9/9 Do you see anything here that interests you? They have dry shampoos, whipped soaps, awesome hand cream, linen spray, sugar scrubs and perfume. https://www.etsy.com/shop/faefragrance/?etsrc=sdt I ilke the idea of hand cream or whipped soap, but all of her scents seem to be foodie, which isn't my thing. Anything you want from my favorite local tea shop? www.fridaytea.com second breakfast, caged heart, double cream earl grey, french cookie (black tea base), happy little tea, friday's afternoon. heck, I could enjoy half the shop, or a high-caf mystery pack How about from my skincare person? drjensbeautylab.com/ I confess I'm curious about the skin zen cream, but I do have a stockpile of face stuff at the moment so I'm hesitant to jump on any new bandwagons other than in small sizes How about from my witchy Chandler? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TeresaLynnsSimpleLux Appalachian Autumn, Petrichor, Wake the F* up, Tree Hugger, Calm the F* Down (sensing a trend here), What the actual, Ça sent bon , grapefruit mint, fixin to clean, pets welcome It's also that time of year where I make handmade soap (usually with calendula infused olive oil, tallow, oatmeal and honey) and candles (feel free to specify color and size, I don't usually scent them, but I do have a clover and apple scent I've been wanting to play with). I can also annoint and dress candles with TALs and herbs. Any interest? sure! scented or not, that sounds pretty. I also grow herbs which can be culinary or magical. I'd be happy to prepare a smudge or dry some herbs for your enjoyment. I currently have oregano (yellow and standard), mugwort, thyme, sage (purple or garden), tea peppermint, chives, lovage, plantain, comfrey, raspberry leaf, and yarrow. I'm probably forgetting something. I also make salves! My go to in an arnica, calendula and comfrey mix for healing wounds or chapped skin. This can also be used on pet paws. We do have barely enough time that I could do a custom infusion. I would use peppermint or chives as dried herbs, since I managed neither this year, and that salve sounds lovely. 9/11 Anything in the Paintbox Soapworks Halloween update looking good to you? https://paintboxsoapworks.com/new-limited-edition/2023-weenie-collection/ Demeter, Let me in your window, September, soaps or scrubs 9/12 If you have a furry friend living with you, what sort of treats do they like?

Yes or, no? Too many in your house or bring them on?? Yes. I have too many mugs and I still love them

You like the looks of anything? https://nocturnealchemy.com/collections/limited-collection a couple things sound interesting: Karloff, Orange Blossom Wine, Haunted Tree, black honey. Is there anything you would like from the Weenie update? No thank you, went for a couple decants since nothing really jumped out at me. How do you feel about stickers? If positively, are there any themes you'd rather not have stickers of? I love stickers, nothing particularly gory or blatantly rude. I have a discbound notebook and got a clear plastic cover so I could put stickers on the opaque cover and have them protected. On there I have an Old Gods of Appalachia sticker, the seagulls have the Tardis (karen hallion I think?), an Aria Fawn sticker, a bumper sticker that reference my refusal to organize my life, and the 'I AM GOOD KITTY' possum. I love pretty stickers, too, and those get used for greetings cards and journals. What about crystals, cool rocks, and gemstones? Bring it 9/15 How do you feel about Squishmallows and Squishables? (They have mini and micro sizes for those who like cute plushies but don't have a lot of space.) I love Squishables *glares at Twi for starting this* I don't have the space really for anything other than micros or maybe one more mini, I have the mini Snow Wolf (thank you Twi), and Wolf, and a micro t-rex for my desk at work. Not gonna lie, the woodland plague set kills me, no pun intended Would you wear enamel pins with chains that are meant to be put on lapels? (Something like this.) I think I would find a shirt with a collar just to wear something like that. Speaking of enamel pins... The Pickety Witch's Autumn and Halloween collection just dropped. Has anything caught your eye? The trick or treat kitty pin and witch kitty are adorable. I confess I have the trick or treat goat and love it. I used to make mobiles out of paper cranes, would you appreciate something like this? if so, what size restrictions do you have, if any? ie., should it take up less space vertically or horizontally? color palette preference? I would love that, probably longer and narrower, and cool toned colors 9/16 ordering bulbs from https://oldhousegardens.com and was wondering if my witchee would like some. I love flowers but have really limited space. I would like to plant a few crocus though Would you like something like "sock arms" if I find time to craft? (Sometimes I make a pattern called Toast or Toasty {one has a thumb the other is just a tube} http://www.afriendtoknitwith.com/2008/09/toasttoasty.html. here are other photos from my blog: https://www.elkaknits.com/?p=845 ) -- If so what sort of colors? I love those and would totally use something like that. Color not particular, probably something darker, or in the greys/browns. Witchee, what's your take on seasonal-themed Washi tape? I think it's awesome but I never think to use it when I have it
What about seasonal treats from Trader Joe's? I honestly don't even know what they have, I like spice and caramel, and apple things. I think I had an autumn harvest tea from them one time that I enjoyed. If they have fall-themed savory goodies I'd be down for that, too. My pumpkin spice consumption in generally limited to homemade pumpkin bread.
I make gluten-free biscotti this time of year, lemon and also cocoa varieties: does this sound good to you? I do enjoy biscotti, and lemon is a favorite flavor in general.
Would you like me to make a music mix for you? I kick it old school with a burned CD. If you're into this, name at least 3 to 5 genres of music you already love, or are interested to explore more of! I would love a music mix! I like rock, folk, classical, electronica, honestly I'm up for whatever. I'm not super nuts about things with particularly hateful lyrics, or anything discordant, but otherwise, bring it. 9/17 Anything here you like? https://bserway.com/ I love his art! I've got the spirit and Leafkin are great from the halloweenie types, Spirits of the midwinter timbers, The Crone's Seer, You hung the moon, Petalbearer, Magic hours, Thief, Foxtails, RAnni the witch, the little black mage, shroud me in obsidian night, or honestly just the mystery pack since I love stickers and postcards and such, and suprises are fun. Anything you'd like from my Ren Fest? There is an outstanding garlic based shop I'll be going to next weekend, for my annual stock up of their spice blends & garlic oil blends. Any other Renny stuff that you like? Well I love garlic. Otherwise, hair ornaments or shawl pins are fun, not sure what other little stuff there is about. know we are looking at a lot of candles, but if you are into looking at more (and it is ok to say you are not), do any of these strike your fancy? https://www.lakewoodwax.com/candlesforacause (Feel free to take a look at their current and signature scents too but I wanted to highlight these fundraiser scents first!) alas, no, they all sound a little too scent-busy for my housemates /19 f you are a person who appreciates tarot and oracle decks, do you have a strong preference about receiving new ones vs gently/barely used? Learning, and gently used is great Are you a Studio Ghibli fan, and if so, what are your feelings about fan made art featuring characters? I love what I've seen but haven't seen much. In general I'm all about fan art. Want anything from LUSH? Here's the link specifically to their Halloween drop (https://www.lush.com/us/en_us/c/halloween) BUT, feel free to peruse all of it. no thank you 9/20 Part 2 of the Autumnal/Halloween drop from Haus of Gloi is coming this weekend- take a look and see if anything is compelling! https://www.hausofgloi.com (fall part 2 is live on Sunday, here is a list of what is coming: https://www.hausofgloi.com/blogs/haus-herald/fall-part-2) maybe violet and blackcurrant or apples and hay butter bomb, scarecrow, old cider house, and hex sound nice, too. the dark fruit tea perfume sounds pretty. generally whipped soap or a scrub would be most useful
Also, I live in Philly and will use ANY reason to spend time at the Mütter Museum- anything of interest (including, but not limited to, the well-loved BPAL exclusive for the museum, Ü?) https://www.muttermuseumstore.org probably not? maybe the museum pin for my knapsack If you are so inclined, do you want or need any natural items or ingredients for spellwork that could be collected from forests, ocean, fields or stream? I also have access to oak gall ink and various other esoteric substances. While this sounds awesome in theory I do not have the expertise to appreciate such Are you a fan of the show Cobra Kai? nope (I can't say I'd dislike it, but had no interest in watching) Do you enjoy any of the scented items from Victoria's Secret? not that I know of? Would you be interested in receiving a silver locket with papyrus and herbs inside, as a protective amulet? that sounds lovely 9/21 So Witchee mine, are you a spellworker? - any interest in acorns from a tree known as The Mother Oak at my Ren Fest grounds. It is the biggest tree I've ever seen in MI. It is cared for by tree scientists from MSU. It is the mom to every other oak on the grounds. Saturday is Mabon & I will go & gather acorns before the park opens to patrons as I do each year. But this time it's actual Mabon. So Witchee dearest, would you like some? I'm not a spellworker, but I do keep a sort of altar with special nature things on it, so I would love an acorn Witchee, do you like anything from Lenny Mud? not really my thing 9/22 From previous questions you've answered, I know a lot about the teas you'd like from specific places, but I want to know your more general tea preferences. Black, green, white, rooibos, oolong, herbal? (guessing I'm not your witchee since I answered a lot of this in my q'aire, but just in case. ) I drink primarily black but like green, white, oolong...I like some smokiness, but straight lapsang souchong can be a bit much. I like fruit or vanilla flavored teas, earl grey, rose. I like herbal brews and blends as well, just nothing with licorice root or any other 'sweet' aspect. I'm also not a tea snob. I love my loose teas and have tea balls and pretty teapots but my default quick cup is plain old Red Rose bagged tea. - Japan is particularly big on their green tea and hojicha (roasted green tea), any interest? Sure! I'm also a fan of genmaicha - My partner has given me an extraordinary amount of rooibos from South Africa. It's amazing and I'd like to share, so would you like some? not a big fan of rooibos unfortunately despite being uk based I’m probably gonna have to make a torrid order because I fell in. Anything catch your eye while I’m doing it? no thank you 9/27 How do you feel about nail wraps, like from Espionage Cosmetics? They are having a tempting fall sale. Anything catch your eye? https://espionagecosmetics.com/collections/itsfallyall23 I've never gotten into nail wraps, I just do polish Is anyone into colouring in? yep. floral designs, intricate patterns, animal things
