Zeb's Summer Sprite Answers

5/30/22    Does anything, scent and / or product-wise, catch your eye from the Haus of Gloi summer drop? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/summer) [you're free to pick stuff NOT from Summer as well, of course!  ] Beguiled Refresher Spray, whipped soap in Beguiled, Sanctum or Asperitas


Yes, the rumors are true- I'll be in Paris this summer! Tell me up to five things you'd be happy to get from there, including any specific teas from Dammann Freres, my favorite french tea shop! (https://www.dammann.fr/en/#) Those fancy fruit jellies or marrons glace? But if you're in Paris, pop over to London!     5/31/22   I recently discovered Khamila Luna and plan to place an order soon to get a present for my roommate. Is there anything you'd like from them? Coconut Lime or Vanilla Raspberry scrubs   is there any small gift from mother nature that you'd like me see if I can source for you from old forests?   I feel like there is but I can't work out what!   do you wear rings on all your fingers? how about a range smallest to largest? I think my questionnaire answered this   If your Sprite were to gift you magical items or workings... a) Would you be interested in that? b) If so, what intention(s) would you appreciate most? Not for me, thanks   Would you be interested in a set of (rpg) dice? If so, what colors/aesthetic? I have a lot of really nice dice and a bag to put them in, and I still laze out and roll on my phone   What's your favorite creature? Cat, octopus, lizard   Do you like reading comics? If you haven't really read 'em, would you be interested in receiving a few that match your book genre preferences? We have a stupidly large collection already   I'm headed to Puerto Rico in July - anything particularly interesting you would like from there? Maybe an interesting spice blend?   Would you be interested in receiving a small bottle of home infused whiskey aged from commercially produced moonshine? Any particular flavors you might enjoy (examples include orange chai or cinnamon chocolate or hot peppers)? Yes but I don't think you can ship internationally   Would you be interested in homemade shortbread that fits your flavor preferences? Yes, absolutely   6/1/22   If your bday is during the swap, how are you planning to celebrate? Probably a nice meal from dishpatch.co.uk   Likewise, how do you celebrate relevant spiritual holidays in this time period? n/a   Anything you want from the UK? A better, more responsible government that feeds its people instead of wasting a billion pounds on a party for the richest woman in the country? Please?   Seeds, y/n? I can only have them from the UK/EU I think. I always love organic (not F1) veg seeds   Are you interested in skincare/shampoo/conditioner? No, I have quite a lot. Shower gel is the only thing like that I need   Are you interested in tights? If so, what thickness, style, and size? No thanks, I have loads and yet never wear them   Do you use tarot decks? Would you like to receive more - and if so, can you list the ones you already have? Not for me   What do you think of the art on this website? https://www.printisdead.co.uk/ I love the Night Garden cat and blue mushroom prints   Is loose leaf tea good, or do you prefer bagged? I prefer bagged   I make arm warmers.  I make them from sweaters I thrifted.  They can be all one color, or stripes of different colors.  They can be long, to the elbows, or shorter. If you would like a pair, tell me your favorite colors.  Solids are more generally elegant, Stripes can be as wildly funky as you wish.  Long?  Short?  Cashmere?  Tell me your fingerless mitts arm warmer dreams. - Stripes, shorter length, and blue/green/purple or rainbow     6/2/22   PBSW Summer collection is live!!!  Anything catch your eye? - not at the moment   6/4/22   It's farmers market season in town and I have loads of lovely local artisans to shop from. Would you be interested in items from any of the following?

I do like bees, and irises   What kind of sprite would you prefer? A ninja or to know the ID right away? I like both styles for different reasons - I would like to know eventually, but other than that I have no preference   6/6/22   Are you ok with shunga label art (bpal?) yes   I dye yarn.

https://www.garbageforgood.com/ No thank you   6/8/22   Would you like items related to your astrological sign and if so what is it? No thanks - it's cancer and I've already had enough of that!     6/12/22   what do you think of plushies? I like them but they tend to all turn into cat toys   Are there any Korean or Japanese food/craft/self-care items you would be interested in in receiving? Savoury food   Is there anything for your garden or houseplants that you need, or would like (tiny, hand thrown cachepot for a prized astrophytum, etc.), or are you proudly black thumb and shun any plant that isn't resin? I love pretty outdoor pots but am aware that they are heavy to ship. I can't have indoor plants because my cats are assholes.   How many books is too many books? I don't understand the question!   6/13/22   I’m knitting up washcloths right now. Would you like some? No thank you

Gourmet lollipops?  Handmade Marshmallows (not by me LOL)?  Flavored cotton candy? other ideas? Marshmallows & fudge   do you have any reservations about wearing leather, like in an accessory??  No   So I took a "viking knitting" class (which is really wire weaving) and can now make necklaces and bracelets.  Would you be interested in either one?  A slimmish torc necklace would be nice IF SO What color wire would you like?  (silver, gold, copper, blue, purple, yellow, green orange, black, turquoise, pink, so many colors.)   I have THIS PACK among others. Blues, greens, silver, bronze What length would you want (on either or both?)  50cm What kind of fasteners do you like best (lobster claw, toggle clasp, magnetic?) and color of fasteners?  (silver, gunmetal, copper, gold?) No fastener on torc styles  - some of the toggle clasps come in cool shapes. Do you think a larger chunky one like a torc or a slimmer one?  I can draw the wire down to different sizes with my draw plate.

If so tell me what length, what color(s) and if you want one for a pony tail or two for pig tails. No thank you
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).

Probably not for me What sort of Halloween fabric?  Whimsical? Witchy, bats, mushrooms, moths? Moths, bats How gothy do you like? Not completely over the top but I do like it have velvets & sparkly stuff to work with too.  What is your preference witchee? I like velvets, not so much on the sparkly as it always seems to shed     9/7    How do you feel about cherry things? Check out Cherry Republic and let me know if anything catches your eye! Most things I like won't travel well or are too heavy (CHerriyaki Sauce!), but cherry shortbread and Michigan Minnows look good   Similarly, are you into fancy flavors of olive oil or vinegar? Check out Fustini's and let me know if anything appeals! Herbs de Provence or Persian Lime oils,  and the Bourbon Maple Syrup   We also have an awesome store for jams and sauce, American Spoon which you should totally check out! Smoky Corn Salsa looks so good but it would be too heavy   Would you like some locally sourced maple syrup? Always   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. Fudge is always awesome - Butter Pecan, Butterscotch, Cherry, German Chocolate, Maple Bourbon Pecan, Penuche, Chocolate Espresso or Turtle would be awesome   Anything from the IKEA Halloween store catch your witchy eye? https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/campaigns/halloween/ Thos pumpkin string lights   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? No thank you   I live near a Penzey's Spice https://www.penzeys.com  - do you cook? yes - Do you want fancy schmancy spices or spice blends?  yes - Sunny Paris or Fox Point herb blends, Sichuan Pepper if they have it.  - 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? No thank you   Colourpop's Haunted Mansion collection dropped today.   If you're interested in makeup or skin care, are you interested in anything from Colourpop?  No thank you https://colourpop.com/     Anything of interest from Cellar Door? (They have candles and soaps.)   Are you into wax melts, candles, incense, room sprays, or none of the above?   Would you like anything from Luvmilk's Monster Mash?   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? Not my sort of thing   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   Do homemade caramels or shortbread tickle your fancy? Shortbread would, caramels sadly damage my teeth     What are your chocolate preferences? White, milk, dark? What inclusions (fruit, nuts, none, etc.)? Milk or white, fruit, honeycomb, very small bits of nut but not whole nuts   I make mixed media art (like collaging kinda).

SwitchWitch 2015 blog

Last updated: 6th Oct 2015

New year, new questions - but all the old blogs are still relevant.

Wishlists
Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/registry/wishlist/388AMHU9X80YL
Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/uk/people/PrayUntoBastet/favorites/items-i-love?ref=favs_index_1
SockDreams: http://www.sockdreams.com/_users/wishlists/00c60af6506718d
Crocus: http://www.crocus.co.uk/ViewWishList/_/WLID.123653/WLPASS.2adca3ecedfe407689f1e770b612b092

I keep all my wishlists up to date, but ignore the 'shops' bit on Etsy as sometimes those are things for other people.

Alcohol: You might not be able to send it because customs, but I drink spirits except the hell that is tequila. I prefer Irish whiskey, rum, brandy, mead

Pumpkin - I don't mind it

Yellowstone/huckleberries - I have never tried huckleberries, would love to

Decorating - very eclectic, so here's a wall from my old house which I have not as yet had the spare time to replicate, but it's on the list!
For those of you who don't drink alcohol, can you specify if you live with any drinkers or ever have alcohol on hand for guests, vs. abstaining and preferring not to have it around at all?

Are you a fan of the TV show Penny Dreadful? I've got the first series ready to watch next

What are your coffee and tea preferences? Do you prefer one, the other, both, or neither (and if it's neither, what about things like hot cider and cocoa)? Loose leaf or bags, whole bean or ground? Is caffeine OK? Any gadgetry you're in need of? Any brands or flavors that you particularly love, loathe, or want to try? coffee beans, especially flavoured, black tea in bags, especially chai and earl grey types. I love the David's tea that I've tried

What's your sense of humor like? Do you enjoy puns? Play on words? Dirty humor? Dry humor? Who are some of your favorite comedians?
Bill Hicks is my all-time favourite, also like David Mitchell, Bob Monkhouse, Stephen Fry, Bill Bailey. I like sarcasm, clever word play, dry & some dirty humour. (yes, my humour has a "u" in it!)

Do you like board games? If so, which ones? Traditional or more unique? (like Settlers of Catan, Small World, Red Dragon Inn, etc)
I love Smallworld and Munchkin and play board games with one of my partners. Really want to try Cards Against Humanity but also mentioned this in the 13 Nights swap so maybe check with my swapper there.

Is there anything that you specifically do NOT want to receive? Religious stuff

Plain or fun socks? I like both - I like subtle fun ones rather than full-on, and I like interesting textured plain ones. Love stripey socks too, but no toe socks please

Name one (or as many as you would like) thing you would like to learn more about? I still have a lot to learn about gardening, sorely tempted to learn baking but then I might eat more (I refer you to the conflicted bit in my questionnaire!)

What one thing you would like to do more of? exercise, relax, playpiano (learn to count )

What are some things that fascinate you? Or, What would you like to know more about? my real fascination is the social history of diseases, I own books on things like how different disease through the ages have been touted as 'evidence' of sin, like how at one point Leprosy had all the same social commentary as HIV did later. I still have a few flu and smallpox books on my wishlist!

Would you like any cookie butter (just to be clear, store-bought, not home-made, and does contain wheat since it's, y'know, cookie butter)? No thanks, I hate it

Is there any particular piece (or pieces) of art (painting, photograph, etc) that speaks to you in some way? I did a long answer in the thread but basically pre-raphaelite

What kinds of things would you like from the Lilith BPAL or BPTP update (or are you joining a decant circle?) I've joined a decant circle

Do you want to received knit or crocheted items? If so, could you describe or even link to a couple of items similar to what you would like to receive?
Socks always welcome, would love a small beanie/skullcap type hat but have quite a small head. An example of style not colour or pattern.

What thing do you want to do (or get) but you keep putting off for one reason or another?

Would you like anything from Lush?
No thank you, I've been shopping from them since before they were called Lush!


Do you prefer hand-made or store-bought? I like both


SPICY! Scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being "oh, that's a bit too much black pepper for me" and 10 being "ghost pepper? scorpion pepper? I laugh at these! I love as much heat as you can throw my way!" Where are you? probably 6

What is your BPAL "Holy Grail"?
Tea (the Luper) ranks high because you can't search for it on the forum, but also Banshee Beat because I stupidly sold my spare bottle

Analog or Digital? Or Both? Analog for films, either for books, digital for music

What scents from other perfume companies are you really wanting to have in your collection and or are just really wanting to test? Companies like NAVA, Arcana, Solstice Scents, Possets, Haus of Gloi etc.....? Just the two on my wishlist

Do you have an affinity for any specific animals?
Cats, rats, little lizards, ducks if they're rubber!

Kitchen Needs or Wants?
A pepper grinder that actually works well, interesting spice mixes from your area (except Hawaii - I have a ton of spices from there from a previous round)

Makeup! Do you like it, would you want some? If so what brands do you like to wear? Eyeliner is all I wear, and I prefer the sort that sharpens itself. I usually wear Clinique in brown, grey, green purple or black

Chocolate fiends ahoy! What kind of chocolate do you like? Do you like any other things in it or just plain good ole chocolate? Love chocolate especially Ghiradelli, Lindt, Seattle Chocolate, Suchard, Montezuma. I like things in it but not whole almonds as I broke a tooth on one of those. Itty bitty almond is fine.

Would you be opposed to receiving a ton of Halloween themed items? I don't really do Halloween so it would be a waste

Would you be interested in any special little thing I might be able to pick up from the Great Lakes Bat Festival this Saturday? Both Janell Cannon (author of Stellaluna and other kids' books) and Fiona Reid (illustrator for lots of animal field guides) will be there, so would you possibly be interested in something like an autographed copy of Stellaluna or one of Cannon's or Reid's other books? Or something from the Organization for Bat Conservation, like a shirt or other swag?
If there ended up being a bat print available I'd like that

What items from the Weenie update interest you, should you have to option of getting anything as a gift from your Witch??? Would you be ok with decants, or bottles?
I'm going to get decants of:
Second Spring
Apples II, III, IV and V
Young Woman Appealing To A Witch
Depart Pour Le Sabbat
Liebeszauber
The Magic Circle
The Witches
Witches Kitchen
Portrait of an Unidentified Man As Mephistopheles

I'm not going to buy until I've tried decants but my most likely needs for bottles are:
Witches Kitchen
Portrait of an Unidentified Man As Mephistopheles

What's your favorite scary movie? I don't like horror films because people are generally stupid. So i'd probably pick a Clive Barker film like Nightbreed, but in no way could I call any of them a favourite. I listed my other favourites in the original questionnaire.

Blu-ray or DVD?
Either is fine but they need to be Region 2 for Europe

Game systems - console or computer? Mac/PC? Which console? The only game I really have time for now is Sunless Sea, the standalone spin off from Fallen London, which I play on my Mac

Are you dressing up for Halloween and if so do you need any accessories for if? I don't dress up

Talk to me about bags, what kinds do you like? Sizes and styles?
I could do with plasticised totes for gardening stuff, or a satchel/messenger style that would fit music books in as well as the rest of my stuff

What are your favorite fandoms and do you want to receive anything related to such?
Firefly, Babylon 5, Dr Who, Gotham

What are you planning to order from the Weenies update?
See above

The Last Huzzah of the NY Renaissance Faire happens this weekend and I'm going! Is there anything you might want? (Besides a turkey leg, which won't ship well!)

Do you like comics or graphic novels? Any issues or collections you want to read?
I love graphic novels but have a vast collection, only after things on my Amazon wishlist

Do you like fanfic? Would you like a story written for you as part of your gift? What characters/fandoms/pairings etc do you like?
I'm not a big fan of fanfic, sorry

Where do you have wishlists at? If you could please link to them or to a post that links to them. (Amazon, Etsy, Think Geek, Pinterest, Sephora, Lush, BPAL/BPTP, Soap Box Company, everywhere and anywhere!)
All at the top of the blog


Let's say you have indicated interest in receiving a hand knitted item. What colors, exactly, do you like? If you could provide color swatches here or to pinterest (or something visual), that would help out a lot.
This purple or this mix or this green or this blue are all very much my sort of thing

Would you rather receive a bunch of little packages through the round, a couple of medium packages, or one big package at the end?
Whatever you pick is fine but for preference lots of little packages or a couple of medium ones

For those of us with out-of-country Witchees, would you be happy with receiving a few packages from local to you merchants (say, through Etsy or equivalent)? Yes, I always do this for my witchee

Would Witchees like something from IKEA? (Or any other not always accessible by everyone store?) Not unless you can ship me a new bookshelf

If/when you go to the mall, for which store(s) do you beeline?
The deli and the comic book store

Do you receive any subscription boxes (julep, lootcrate, ipsy, birchbox, etc.)? Graze

Do you like tarts/candles/incense? If so, what type of scents? ot right now, I will have a new kitten next week so am avoiding burny stuff

Is there anything you wish you could have picked up from the Dragon*Con exclusives? BPTPs Housebreaking Your Dragon atmo

Is there a GC you've been dying to try but haven't got around to yet? No

The questionnaire asked about gold & silver jewelry, but how do you feel about copper jewelry? Do you like colorful jewelry, or do you prefer to keep it neutral? I like copper jewellery

We asked about decorating style, but are you interested in receiving decorations for your home? Are you interested in things that go on the wall or things that go on shelves? I can probably find space for a couple more wall things, but very little room for shelf things unless they also have a purpose

Office supplies hound? Pens, pencils, journals, any preference, or favorites? Pens for drawing especially Letraset promarker type and very very fine point black pens

Talk to me about socks! Is there anything, dear, dear Witchee, that I can get for you from Sock Dreams? Anything from another place? I love Sock Dreams and have a wishlist, also have lots on my Etsy wishlist

I live near a huuuuge candy store. What kind of candy do you like? Gummies? Caramel? Chocolate? Sour? Sugar-free? Those US tea and coffee candies are always a favourite when I get them as frimps

How do you feel about animal products? Not so much animal toys or food, but more like furs, paws, bones, etc. No, the cats will think it's theirs

Are you interested in receiving any restaurant.com gift certificates for your area? No, I dont think they reach this far!

How do you feel about "toys" - stuffed animals and the like? I might like interesting/cute/geeky ones. I have cuddly Rubella, MRSA and Brain Cells


Did you see the eclipse last night? How do you feel about astrological events, like eclipses? Any interest in the Blood Moon Eclipse scent from BPAL? I watched it but I think the scent will burn me

Witchee's, how tall are you? And perhaps, what's your arm span (from wrist to wrist)? short and wide! 5'2" but no idea about arm span

How do you feel about the 4 elements? Or are you more of an Asian 5 elements person? Do you feel strongly about any of the elements, like a connection or a preference? I prefer the 5 elements

How do you feel about bento boxes? Is it something you would use if you were to get one? I have one really cute one but would potentially use another especially if it actually sealed properly

Scarves, shawls or cowls? Mittens, gloves, fingerless mitts or wristlets? fingerless gloves

how do you feel about online classes? Like, say, craftsy or creativebug? Or even lynda.com? I don't have the time

What do we want from Paintbox Soapworks?
I'd love to try a hot process soap like Rice Pudding and I love sorbettos - Afternoons & Eiderdowns, Rice Pudding or Gingermilk would all suit me well

If I were to make you some art, would you prefer a frame that hangs or one that sits? And what color/style would you prefer?
A frame that hangs please. As for style, look at my Etsy wishlist for an idea

How do you feel about gourmet marshmallows?
Yum as long as they arent floral flavoured

Are you a slatherer or a dabber?
It depends on the scent

Talk to me, dear witchies, about tea. I know we've covered this a little, but I really need the nitty gritty here- not just companies you like and don't like (Teavana? Adagio? David's? Some tiny place?) but I also want to know the other stuff: top 3 flavors, loose or bagged, the kinds of tea accessories you use- or have always wanted. Be specific. Provide links if necessary.
Bagged tea will get more use but I do own a teapot and strainer. I love chais, earl//lady grey and smoky black teas like Lapsang and Russian Caravan

Villainess is putting out brand new stuff for the first time in a while (as opposed to bringing back former lines). Sooo.... who wants it?
Never tried anything but Gingerleaf sounds lovely and the Smack sounds good is many scents

How does everyone feel about duct tape crafts? Any favorite patterns? not really my thing

Are there any flowers you especially like? Fritillaria, cornflowers, forget-me-nots, irises, borage

Would you be interested in any cozies or cases (yarn o fabric, not hard cases) for tech stuff (phone, laptop' etc) or for cups/mugs/bottles or anything else similar. no thank you

Would you like Halloween or Day of the Dead themed ornaments or a "bunting"? no thank you

Are there witchees who would like book related gifts like a booklight, bookmark, bookseat or something for your reading gadget,like a cover or a light for example.
no thank you, I have a wonderful cover for my Kindle

I make handmade journals, mini albums and similar items. Would my witchee be interested in something like that?
I do love interesting journals

What songs/music/artists/CD's do you like to listen to around Halloween?
the same as the rest of the year

Are you interested in leg warmers at all?
nope, I lived through the 80s

Is your Halloween style scary, cutesy, folksy, grotesque . . .?
Such as it is, probably cutesy.

I bought the Portal board game last week & it came with a Portal 2 steam free download code. I already have the game on another console & it's one of my favorite series of all time. Soooo, would you want it?
No thank you

Have you read The Martian? Or do you plan on watching the movie?
I haven't read it but I'd like to

Pertaining to that, how does everyone feel about such things? Will anyone be participating? How about NaNo swag, is there any you want? I don't understand the question!

Honey or beeswax products? Discuss.
Yes

How do you feel about bumper stickers and car magnets? What do you like--cute, pretty, snarky, geeky/fandomy?
I have no car

(https://ritueldefille.com) I only use self sharpening eyeliner   How do you feel about tarot or oracle decks?  Would you be interested in any (for artwork or for mystical purposes)?  New or used? Not for me, while they're usually really pretty, I no longer use them. My life feels like it is continuously The Tower.     Would pigment samples from companies like M.A.C. or Notoriously Morbid tickle your fancy? If so, what colors catch you eye? Not for me     9/30/19   do you have a favourite saying or quote?   Far too many so I'll just pick these: In order to fly all one must do is simply miss the ground - Douglas Adams We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars - Oscar Wilde Not today - Arya Stark/Syrio Forel (in case you have no idea what I'm talking about, see https://youtu.be/ZcjQ4rQQ8H8 -  that entire 5 minscene got me through chemo on some very bad days)   How do you feel about spicy foods, and where on the Scoville scale do you hit your limit? Much less able to tolerate than I used to be - probably around 1000 right now. I'm hoping it improves again

  How do you feel about coloring books, especially those pertaining to a personal interest or fandom? I always get them and never use them so it would be a waste   10/1/19   A few questions have been asked about knitted items--are crocheted equivalents acceptable?  (crocheted fingerless gloves, shawls, etc.)   Any fiber issues? crochet is fine, nothing itchy please   About the Weenies: please list what you've bought or are definitely purchasing for yourself *as well as* what you would like to possibly receive from someone else!    I'm not buying anything immediately during the round, waiting for reviews. I'm interested in: Fall Leaves, Fall Les Heures de la Nuit Hypnotize Me Songs of Autumn 1 - most interested Songs of Autumn 4 Chlorophyll - most interested   Dear Witchee, are you at all boozy?  Anywhere between hard cider to straight whisk(e)y?  And any interest in the "unusual" stuff? (unusual as in non-mainstream, local craft ciders or meads, regional fruit wines, experiments from local distilleries, etc) I drink Irish whiskey, proper mead and Jack Daniels with or without honey.    10/2/19     Nail Polish: Do you need or want some?  If so, what colors and brands are you interested in? I wear it in winter when not gardening. I like pale and unicorn like for my hands, dark and dramatic for my toes. I generally only succumb to BPTP nail varnishes because that's where I see them! For darks, purples, greens, jade, teal   Does anyone else do nail wraps? Nope   What about postcards? Not for me    Is anyone interested in anything from the Nocturne Alchemy Halloween release (or, presumably, anything else from the site)? If you really need me to look, get someone to prod me, its all a bit overwhelming     How do you feel about salt? I don’t mean, like, salted nuts or potato chips. I mean straight-up salt, like alder-smoked finishing salt or Hana Flake sea salt.  I have some smoked salt flakes but I forget to use it so probably a waste   10/3/19     I am infamous for baking (shortbreads savory and sweet, poundcake, various cookies and bars), butter caramels (flavored or plain), and catnip.  Are any of these relevant to you or your household? shortbread and caramel/fudge would find a home. I avoid much catnip because my cats are mad enough already   Do you like to cook and do you need/want any spices for such pursuits? More long pepper, but I think that's easier to get over in the UK   Would you wear any of these?  Fern , Nuada, Manannan, Duleek Abbey  or an infinity scarf or tube cowl tall enough for a hood (like this scarf or this cowl for shape example)? I like Duleek Abbey   Do you have any utilitarian needs for everyday life? Things that would help or that you've been needing or wanting for work or whatever? Lightweight produce bags for loose dry goods or fruit/veg   What kind of vegan snacks do you like? And vegan chocolate...favorites? I don't like vegan chocolate really. I like puffed chickpea snacks such as Hippeas, especially the smoky flavour, blue corn chips,  corn puff type things   10/4/19    How would you describe your crafting style? Whimsical & Cute?  Elegantly modern?  Totally Traditional? Erm ... Inept?    10/6/19   So....we are about to process a metric f*ton of green tomato relish, which is basically bread and butter pickles but with sliced green cherry tomatoes.  Is this relevant to any witchees? I like pickles but have zero idea what bread and butter pickles are. Love relishes!   How do you celebrate Halloween/Samhain?  Do you dress up?  Would you like something for your costume?  And am I the only person left on the planet who wears socks? I don't dress up but I do wear socks, as long as they are not longer than mid calf   10/7/19   Are you interested in anything from Art Of Tea or Adagio Teas? I like black teas, 1896 looks interesting on Art of Tea, from Adagio I like the look of Cat Scratch, Candy Apple Concoction and Thai tea
I make light-weight hairfalls, doll-style, using a variety of fun stuff, like ribbons, lace and soft batting. Would you be interested in receiving a set in the colors of your choosing?  Not for me   And a quick question here--I'm going to this amazing looking event on Saturday--does my witchee see anything they might be interested in?  https://www.facebook.com/events/903999316607440/ (the Oddities Market) This looks fascinating but no idea what I would want - maybe something strange rom the quack medicine type of stall?   10/8/19   How do you feel about enamel pins?  Love them, hate them, slightly interested, totally indifferent? Interested if its cool   0/10/19   what is your T-shirt/shirt of choice Size? Usually XXL, prefer v necks   10/11/2019   OCTOBER LUNACY!  I know turn around time is unlikely, but just saying (JUST SAYING), dear Witchee, did anything catch your eye? Songs of Autumn 1, Chlorophyll, Fall, Leaves, Fall or Hypnotize Me   https://archaichoney.com/bloodmoonbotanica  (Britton used to run Haus of Gloi.)  Witchee, are you interested in any kinds of things from the Blood Moon Botanica update? No thank you, I'm on too many meds that might react     also I took some beading classes and have been making bracelets, necklaces, and earrings.  Would you be interested in any?  If so, how big is your wrist or how long would you like your bracelet?  Any preferred styles of beads? I like seed bead bracelets but I'm a klutz and would likely destroy it by catching it on something, so usually only go for sturdier things   10/13/19   If I was to donate to an animal rescue on your behalf as the "lucyboo" component of this swap, is there one in particular that you would choose? It would probably be a cat rescue   10/14/19   What is your very favorite Halloween candy? If you don't have one/don't do candy, what's a seasonal treat you love? I like Reese's Pieces and fudge and jelly belly beans

If you needed me to pick one get someone to prod me. Notebooks, prints, acrylic blocks 4) https://www.marikapaz.com/shop/ no thank you 5) https://www.faunwood.com Took A Wrong Turn notebook 6) https://www.shannatrumbly.com/ Beautiful but not for me 7) https://fiddlersgreenzine.com no thank you 8 ) https://www.hedgespokenpress.com no thank you   One of the things I do is make nifty things from sweaters that I cut up & upcycle into things like super warm mittens, arm warmers, striped arm warmers, cowls, teapot cozies, & French press cozies.  I don't have a slipper I love yet, but I'm working on it.   So, which of these things might you like?  Give me some thoughts on colors you like & if for a teapot or press, I need to know a size. The only thing I would want is a weird creation of my own devising - arm warmers that go from shoulder to elbow only (quite wide for large arms) and joined across the back to hold them in place. Colours - purple/blue/green/black but honestly anything other than pink or yellow. I have tons of fingerless gloves, mostly made by Twi!   I enjoy historical reproductions and am a fan of LBCC Historical Apothecary. Is there something in her store you might be interested in? Oh yes!  Enchanted Woodland powder & a puff or Cucumber Cold Cream   9/12/20   Does anyone like the prints or items from www.ElissaMarieCreative.com ? I have a few of her prints and the notebooks and they are quality! The Mewl prints are fun   What about www.drawingsbynicole.com? Anything specific? no thank you   Does anything from www.vapidlacquer.com stick out to you? Nonsense polish, nail elixir in Continuity or Dulcet   I do pour painting/acrylic fluid art (with varying degrees of success, haha). Would you like a custom piece in colors of your choice (takes 3-4 weeks with curing, longer if you want it sealed, so it would arrive post-round if custom) or a piece already finished in my collection? I have mostly 12 x 12 and 10 x 10s  right now. Pics available upon request!  Probably not     9/11/20   Do you have a particular fandom you'd like stuff from? Firefly, Captain Marvel, Ms Marvel, Studio Ghibli, Babylon 5   How do you feel about tea?  Preferences?  Would you want anything from David's Tea (https://www.davidstea.com/us_en/home/), Steepologie (https://www.steepologie.com/), Bird & Blend (https://birdandblendtea.com/us_en/), or do you have a favorite tea maker to suggest?  What about tea tools or cups?  I like black teas, chai or smoky flavours   How do you feel about fragrant things for the home like incense, candles, atmosphere spray?  Atmo sprays are good, as are candles with a safe holder/container rather than things that go in a candlestick. Incense gets too messy.   Do you share your home with any loved ones (human, feline, canine, etc.) who might enjoy a tiny treat too?  3 cats who like toys, but no catnip please as one is allergic   9/9/20   would anybody like a small cross stitch thing, like a patch or pin? or cross stitching notions like handmade needle minders?  not my sort of thing   9/8/20   Art and artists - anyone dig any of this?  https://www.studiodesade.com/  (They also do masks, see here.)  Not really my sort of thing   If you knit/crochet/weave, would you like custom dyed yarn?  And if so do you have preference on weight, fiber, colors? I don't do that sort of craft   what is one fun/frivolous thing for $20 or less that you’d enjoy? USB or battery halloween string lights, fancy garden stakes   If I sent you to a dollar store with $20, what would you walk out with? Plant pots, wooden plant labels,  medium sized food storage boxes   9/5/20   what are your feelings on home made/ home canned jams & pickles or syrups?  I even make things with berries I grow in my garden.  I make both brandied & bourbon cherries. Syrups good for cocktails, in lemonade or tea, flavors include Lavender, Lavender + Lemon, & Lavender + Vanilla. Interested? Cherries sound lovely but probably quite heavy to ship. I wouldn't eat lavender anything.   Is there something that you're especially hoping to receive for this round?  For example, a brand you've heard of that you're especially wanting to try, or a certain "thing" that you really want but just cant bring yourself to buy for yourself??    Would you rather receive supplies/tools for your own craft/hobby or receive something you can't make yourself? Something I can't make myself   Is there anything you'd like from Penzeys (https://www.penzeys.com/)?  Pico Fruta and Arizona Dreaming look interesting   9/3/20   Would you like anything from here? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TaterRoundsBeauty No thank you   9/2/20   Would you like a face mask from one of my favorite artists? https://akumuink.com/collections/facemasks No thank you   one of our fellow BPAL friends makes custom masks, Hakutaku Custom Masks on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/HakutakuMasks/ ). Would anyone be interested in one of her masks? I love these - 15, 17 & of course 40 are the best   9/1/20   are you familiar with https://www.a-natural-alternative.com/ ?  Take a peak & let me know if you might like to try something.    8/30/20   Is there anything you want from Japan?  Other than that, anime goods, cute stationery, other Japanese snacks, lay it on me! Rice crackers and teriyaki chips, cute stationery, ground white sesame seeds, a secondhand large haori   What are your favorite self-care items or activities? I'm especially curious about things that you hesitate to do/get because they feel like frivolous luxuries. My self care was always lovely meals out, so failing at an answer right now. I garden to relax     8/29/20   Does anything from Paintbox Soapworks catch your eye (http://paintboxsoapworks.com/)? GOAT or Pick-a-Duck candles   Does anything from the Trading Post's etsy page catch your eye (https://www.etsy.com/shop/bptradingpost)? Atmos - Sanjuana Rokkasen and Manao Tupapau

I keep all my wishlists up to date, but ignore the 'shops' bit on Etsy as sometimes those are things for other people.

Do you like colouring? yes but dont really have the time right now

Crochet goodies yes or no? If yes, what kind of goodies? socks!

Do you have any allergies to animals/smoke/food etc? no

Graphic novels: we have a huge collection, only really want the ones in my wishlist or something local I couldn't get over here

BPTP: yes, love the bath oils, like some atmos, can't use hair gloss. Would kill to try some Floof if it becomes available

Nail Wraps: not for me, they would die too quickly

Teas/Spices/Spice Rubs/Specialty Ingredients from a local tea & spice shop? yes to all

In Regards to loose/bagged tea: bags preferred because I'm lazy most of the time

Speaking of spices - where's your spicy/heat threshold? (scale of 1 - 10 - 1 being nothing more than black pepper, 10 being ghost pepper+) 7

Preferred book format? Physical, PDF, Kindle, etc? Kindle preferred except for graphic novels, gardening and art books - but no problem with real books

Would you be interested in any handmade critters? Stuffed animals, knit or crochet beasties, or anything remotely similar? Yes, especially if amiguri type. I'd love one (only one, I'd have to lock it away from Luna) Geeky things related to my fandoms, Studio Ghibli creatures, cats, lizards, dragons would all be good Or cat toys!

Since this is the Spring Fools' round, is there anything that goes with the theme of April Fool's Day or spring that might be fun to add to your package? Garden related stuff

Pet owners - would you like any kind of toy or supply for your pet? Cat toys without cat nip

Geek paraphernalia! Almost everyone here has SOME sort of geek-love, whether it is Harry potter, Horror movies, graphic novels, science, etc. So would you be interested in any kind of items related to your geek-ish interests? Always

Any yarn, plastic, metal, or fabric sensitivities? I have to have sterling silver earring wires


would you like pretty stationery/note cards, etc, for writing snail mail? I don't write snail mail but I'd love a pad of cute paper for putting notes in swap packages

If you could have any BPALs right now (GC, LE, HTF) what would they be? Give examples of at least a few of each category

Witchee, regarding your fave TV shows, would you be interested in the associated DVDs? Fan books? I pretty much have all of the DVDs and books

Do you need any items for your kitchen (linens, gadgets, cooking supplies, etc.)? I always need more spatulas, tea towels are also useful

Gardens/plants: I am dreaming of spring, dear witch: Do you like plants? Do you have any? Indoor potted plants? A balcony bed? A yard? Do you want/need anything? I have an entire allotment and always want stuff BUT I don't think you can send seeds here from the US/Canada If someone ever found geeky gardening gloves I'd love them!


If I were to make you something based on one or more interests mentioned in your Q'aire/blog, would you prefer something you could wear, something that hangs on a wall, or something that sits on a shelf (or couch or wherever)? Wearable is favourite, with wall hanging second. Killer kitten destroys things left on shelves :(

Are you in need of BPAL storage? Nope.

Do you like candles? Incense? Wax melts? I like candles but am short of room for them now

BAGS! Do you like/want/need any kind of bags? I would be happy to get tote bags that I could use for gardening stuff, especially the type made from reused feed bags that someone switchywitchy makes/has family that makes, or other ones that can stand up to dirt. Plus in answering another question lower down I found at least one messenger bag I love!

I make handmade journals/albums/smashbooks/junk journals. Would you be interested in anything like that? I love them but end up never using them

What's your favorite animal/totem? Would you be interested in a small figurine of said animal from this etsy user? cat, dragon, lizard ... I wouldn't like a figurine due to Killer Kitten, but those Toothless bags are adorable <3

Witchee, are you interested in this kind of music (it's one of my favorites)[Tartanic - uncivilized]? I can take it or leave it

Oh dead Witchee, how do you feel about Sakura Matsuri? Do you like Green Tea and Sakura flavored desserts/treats? Decorations or jewelry with a cherry blossom theme? I like cherry blossom as decoration but can't stand the taste, and dont really like green tea either

Hey, witchee! If I were to send you a garment, what size would I send? Difficult, as I'm busy dropping a load of weight. It's really best, outside of XXL crew t-shirts, to ask me specifically


It's Hottie Friday, witches and witchees! Name a famous crush or five Tom Hiddlestone, Alan Rickman, David Mitchell, Tom Ellis, Morena Baccarin


Also - what are the last 5 songs that appeared on your random or shuffle music list

Jethro Tull -Heavy Horses

I will sew you one if you do, just tell me if you're a fringe or lace edge or plain edge type of person- I have your color picks from your questionnaire, unless you'd like it in something different than those? Plain edge please

I was thinking about busting out the sculpy clay - I sometimes like to make cute little fantasy miniature sculpture, like fairy doors, or miniature garden gnomes for potted plants, or I've even made a couple of tiny smaug's based on this cartoon. If you were my witchee, how would you feel about receiving some tiny fantasy art for your home? Any preference between a fairy door, or a garden gnome, a tiny fairy box, or something like smaug? All the Smaugs!

Switch Witch 2014

Last updated: 13th October   Amazon wishlist : http://www.amazon.co.uk/registry/wishlist/388AMHU9X80YL Etsy wIshlist :https://www.etsy.com/uk/people/PrayUntoBastet/favorites/items-i-love?ref=favs_index_1 Crocus wishlist: http://www.crocus.co.uk/ViewWishList/_/WLID.123653/WLPASS.3827e3f7d1704ffbb0da4210394f6ae2   Books on Amazon - I tend to pick Kindle where available, but I know Kindle books still aren't giftable (who thought that was a good idea? ) so I would be happy to receive a real copy too.   1. Pumpkin : I eat a lot of squashes, but only in savoury things. I don't tend to get on with pumpkin scents as they usually have burny cinnamony stuff in there so i tend to just avoid.   2. I currently have a CSA and my significant other is perpetually out of town for work, so I've been doing a lot of canning and baking with my vegetables. How do people feel about canned good (pickles, salsa, etc) and vegetal baked goods (squash bread, zucchini bread).   3. Trading Post wants? On my wishlist   4. What direct sellers do you not like and would prefer not to get things from? And also feel free to list any retail brands you really don't like. Avon would be a no for me, most of the other companies I don't even recognise!   5. How about y'alls coffee and tea preferences? black flavoured tea or herbal 'mint/ginger plus something' teas. I like interesting coffee beans too. I hate herbal teas with chamomile or hibiscus in   6. Do you cook? Would kitchen accessories make you happy? I keep meaning to get a mandolin, and a nutmeg grater. I can always use more wooden spatulas.   7. How do people feel about creative endeavours? Would you like to receive one? Or supplies to make your own? What do you like? Drawings, stories, poems?   8. What culture or country (doesn’t have to be modern) do you feel an innate connection with? What about it makes it special to you? Northumberland - no matter that I haven't lived there for decades, it's always home - wild, bleak and utterly beautiful   9. Is there any sort of art commission you would like: cartoony, pin-up, fantasy, realistic, etc? If so, what subject would you like drawn (a picture of you, a character, a loved one or pet)? The only thing I can think of is a stained glass panel to fit the little area above my door   10. What do you find yourself doing for fun in your free time? What are your main hobbies and interests? I study Biology for fun - just finished a genetics based course, currently doing immunology, next up is probably study of epidemics. I'm also learning to play the piano and have just taken on an allotment!   11. Table-top gaming? If yes, what kind, edition, etc? Gaming accessories you long for? Pretty dice are always needed - D20, D10 and D8s particularly. The 8s need to roll low ;-)   12. DVD movies or games that you wish would magically appear in your hands? Can they be used, through Amazon? Used DVDs from my wishlist are fine, but they need to be region 2 or region-free (standard US is region 1)   13. What kind of snacks or candy from other countries/states would you like to try? Interesting savoury stuffs   14. Do you have a favorite internet meme, character or pop culture fandom? Toooooo many ...   15. Do you have a Facebook profile (or other social media) that you are comfortable linking to aid your witch in stalking? Please note whether you are willing to add BPALers as friends. I'm Zeb Brigham   16.

Profanity is fine ... don't like racist/sexist/homophobic or potty humour   47. I make hairsticks...would you like/use them? I've always wanted to try   48. Does anyone here LARP?

Is there anywhere (in the US) that you are dying to get away to? Also when would you be able to get away. Would this even be something you were interested in?

If you were to receive handmade caramels, would it matter if they were made with raw cream (unpasteurized)? It wouldn't matter   69.

Would you want a burner for loose incense and a few charcoals to get you started with that, or would you rather stick to simpler types? Not really my thing   70. I know we already had a question about needed kitchen accessories, but what about spices? I have a ton of SE asian spices so dont need more, but US specific blends, or lovely Japanese peppery blends would be nice   71. Would you like handmade stationary or cards? How about a quill pen? I'd think they were pretty but wouldn't use them, with the exception of a tear-off notepad I could use to put notes in swaps and sales   72.

Would you be disappointed to get one big box, or would you prefer a bunch of little ones? And would you be disappointed if your witch actually had it together early and sent it to you sooner than later? It would be really rude to be disappointed with whatever my witch prefers! I have a slight preference for lots of little ones, but that's as much about my own style of international witching due to postage costs.   79. PJs - cotton/flannel or natural fibres please, and I'd be a UK 18/20 and a US 20 or XXL - I like them baggy   80.

If you could only pick one note that you love (e.g. Vanilla, Orange, Lavender, Rose) & you could only wear/have perfume, etc in that note, what would it be?

Necklaces need to be 22-24 in really. Bracelets need to stand up to me constantly banging my wrist against doors, chairs, walls etc - I'm a klutz   Spicy things? Medium or mild is best for me, but I love spice   Baked goods? I like them, but I don't think you can mail international   Spoonfudge? I'm going to pass because the last lot I got, I could not under any circumstances stop eating it once I'd started.   Witchee, would you like a set of Cards Against Humanity? Oh yes   Are there any craft project/s you are working on now that you need supplies for? Or rather, is there a craft project you've been wanting to do but need stuff to start? Manga drawing pens or steampunky bits   Is there anything you'd really like to have/try from Trader Joe's, or any other popular-but-not-available-everywhere store? I don't know what they have - if it's food, maybe some sort of savory snack? Would you rather have something fun or practical? Practical - but it only just wins   Table Games I like them but the only one I want is Cards Against Humanity as I have no printer to make my own   What do you think of hair sticks?

It's not that big a thing over here, I guess my tradition is to join in Switch Witch! Are you a fan of anything that you would like a tshirt of? If so, what size would you wear? This is difficult because there are some awesome shirts out there, but so many fandom tees are just naff. I'd love a good Sandman one, my old ones fell apart. I wish I'd got the DR Who/Led Zep Dont Blink tee that was on RIPT a few weeks ago. I also adore BPTP tissue tees, the halloween kitty is awesome. Cthulu & steampunky thngs are also good.

There really aren't many pumpkin flavoured things over here so I'm not sure. I eat pumpkin/squash a lot but mostly in curries!   Dear future Witchee, did you get anything from the Beaver Moon or Weenie updates that I need to know about, so I don't accidentally repeat anything?

I like interesting chai teas but haven't had anything from Adagio   What about coffee? Love loads of coffees, use beans or occasionally ground, hate decaf and refuse to try the stuff that's been pooped out by rodents Who is your favourite female of all time? Historical, literary, ANYTHING, and why? Annie Besant from real life, for her social activism & birth control work. Or in fiction, Arya Stark from Game of Thrones or Jinian Footseer & Fringe Dorwalk from some of Sheri Tepper's books, each in different ways for doing the right thing.   If you were a Disney princess you would be?: I would NEVER be a Disney princess.

Old-fashioned basket or something more utilitarian (cooler/insulated bag)? I love them - old fashioned basket In fact I did a recent Etsy Treasury list about this!   If you were put in a room with 100 random other people the same age and sex as you, from your country, in what way do you think you would be different from the average? I'm polyamorous, I'm probably geekier, probably kinkier, probably far less girly. Arrogantly, I think it's likely I'm cleverer too.   Haus of Gloi did a Reverie update! Do any of them interest you? (Or anything else up currently?) I haven't looked - trying not to get addicted to more international stores than I already am   Witchee, do you cook? Do you do all the cooking?

I dont have one   If your witch is an extremely crafty sort, and she were to send all kinds of homemade foody goodies and handmade crafty stuff - what are items you would NOT LOVE to receive.

Do you have a large library? I like them but don't really have time.   Do you have something you do, without fail, as a personal daily habit/ritual?

The only sort I like is diseases/medical! Like this - I have brain cells and rubella!   Switch Witch is, of course, all about you.....but if your Witch was so inclined, are there wee little ones in your home that will get jealous and are just too young to understand why you won't share the love, who maybe need a touch of Witchee love all their own, to distract them while you hide all your lovelies?!? Everything will belong to my cats anyway - that's just the way it is! Do you have any symbols or totems that are meaningful to you? The infinity shape, the figure 8 one ...

Is it something you would enjoy? yes, at least one!   What are the three BPALs you would most like to receive - one GC, one not-hard to find LE, and one HTF LE from your dreams? The Stormhold, Chrysanthemum Moon, Temple Viper (I'd normally put Midway but I got gifted a bottle in my last swap so asking twice in a row is excessive)   If you don't consider yourself in a "fandom" (and I get that ... I don't really go overboard on my liking of any TV show/Movie/etc), are there any TV shows or Movies that you really like and/or watch regularly or any actors/actresses you wouldn't leave standing in the rain (unless you like looking at them sopping wet, in which case ... well, nevermind)?

Summer notes listed here and you can click through to the whole list from there. http://www.hausofglo...er-single-notes I tend to worry that I'd make an awful custom blend, but here goes: Vanilla bean, apricot, peach skin, kaffir lime leaf   QUESTION! Do you like Kickstarter? Are there any projects up that you really like?

Switch Witch 2012 Stuff

*2013 version coming soon!*   Ketchup answers and things I forgot on my questionnaire ... last updated 7th October ETSY wishlist:http://www.etsy.com/people/PrayUntoBastet/favorites?ref=si_fav (don't look at favourite stores, some of them are there specifically to remind me of presents for other people) Amazon wishlist   Stuff I really don't need more of:   Mugs - I have so many, I even have some stored in the cellar     Would you enjoy receiving cute but useful items like colorful kitchen utensils/gadgets, or bento supplies? (boxes, chopsticks, accessories, etc?) What about things like spice mixes (homemade, or Penzey's for example) Bento supplies would be wonderful, but don't need an actual box. I love spice mixes. Do you like cute, seasonal or fluffy PJ bottoms? Like they sell at Target, Old Navy (they have had cute Halloween ones!) Not really for me What kind of chocolate do you like? Nuts, no nuts, white,dark, etc? I love good quality chocolate like Lindt, Hotel Choclat etc, I hate things like Cadburys,they've really gone downhill since being bought out. Don't mind nuts. I live near a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Penzeys! What does your little heart desire from any or all of these places? I have no idea what any of these sell! Are home made foods acceptable or does the idea of eating strange mailed food disturb you? I like homemade foods but I'm not sure it's practical to mail internationally. I just gave you $20 and sent you into a "has everything" store ala Walmart and told you that you have to come out having spent it all, and none of it on anything you need. What would you buy? Be as specific as possible! Cushions, nail varnish, coffee syrups, gourmet type sauces & spice mixes What kind of cuisines do you like? (I mentioned this in my ?aire but curious what my witch may like)And, what are your favorite restaurantsAsian food of all types - Indian, Thai, Nepalese, Japanese, Malaysian, Korean, Vietnamese, Sri Lankan all stand out! My long list of favourite restaurants matches that too. I'm from Canada - is there anything specifically a witchee might like that is only available here? I like maple sugar but just got some from my unbirthday swap What are your "fandoms" and would you like a t-shirt from TeeFury if an appropriate one came up? Firefly, Babylon 5, Crusade Do you have an eReader and if so which one? Nope Do you like candles, or tart burners, or something? If so, what's your favorite scent to burn? I don't use them much but have been drooling over the idea of a Trading post Shub or Misk U candle Would you be interested in washable/reusable muslin “paper” towels (basically muslin squares hemmed around the edge)? No, I don't think so Do you drink alcohol and if so, would you be OK with your witch sending you homemade infused vodka? Also, does your state allow alcohol to be shipped through the mail (for example, PA doesn't). I drink, but not vodka, and I think customs wouldn't allow home made through Marzipan? I do like it, but only in small amounts If you get me (or a fellow Aussie, if there are any playing this round) as a witch or witch's minion, would you like to try some Australian specialties, such as TimTams (delicious chocolately cookies), Caramello Koalas (koala shaped chocolates filled with gloopy caramel), Australian native spices or anything like that? Spices, if they came with a clue how to use them! If your witch is a knitter, crocheter or sewer, is there a particular type of garment you would love to receive (hat, scarf, wrap, cowl, socks, fingerless gloves, arm warmers etc)? socks, fingerless gloves or arm warmers Is there anyone else in your house (kids, pets, partner) that would really appreciate a small gift being included for them in the switchwitchy haul so they don't feel left out? no, they get enough treats from me! How would you feel about a taste of (insert witch location here) box? Love it, especially if it's mostly savoury Since it's been mentioned several times, and I've also offered to nacho witch some, would you you like to receive wild rice and or maple syrup? I promise to include recipe ideas with the wild rice. Sure Would you be interested in having a bat adopted in your name? No thanks Some of your favorite artists? Classic and modern? Modern are on my Etsy faves, Classic - lots of the Pre-Raphaelites, with Millais, Rosetti and Dadd being top. If you could have an image or certain subject painted for you on any type of "canvas" (on a box, on paper, on a canvas, and so on) - could you point your witch to some of these images? Decorated boxes - I have some on my Etsy list Is there a GC scent that's been on your list for ages but keeps falling off the bottom of your order because of the LEs?Kumiho and Mr Ibis What's your favorite indie brand of nail polish? Or what's your favorite mainstream brand of nail polish? Or are you not big on polish? I keep meaning to try some claw polish, especially Embalming Fluid or Robotic Scarab. I usually buy Nails Inc. stuff Who likes Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses? Love to try - no idea if I'd like them What does your kitchen look like? Colors/style? Pale wood laminate, dark counters, hideous green & rust tiles ... not what I'd pick   Witchee, what are your favorite quotes? If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were. In order to fly, all one must do is simply miss the ground.

What's one random thing you really like and one random thing you really dislike?Like: Cornflowers, Dislike:Pigeons   Are there any herbs that you haven't been able to lay hands on that I could send you? There's an herbal shop I really like here in NYC called Flower Power (flowerpower.net) that has quite a wide selection. No, I have a vast collection   If there are no "witchy" shops near you, is there anything I can pick up for you from Enchantments?not for me thanks   Hey Witchee! I want to send you a delivery. It could be cupcakes from a local bakery, it could be a singing hugging bear-a-gram, it could be a bouquet of flowers. But it will be something that you need to be there to receive. a) Are you OK with "special deliveries"? *waggles eyebrows* B..) Is the address in your questionnaire the best place to reach you for said deliveries? c) If the delivery requires a phone number (as say, some florists do) would you be OK with that information being tracked down by your Witch or asked of you anonymously?a) and non-live things are fine and can be left at the shop next door if I'm not in, c)ask Quillifer   What are some things you are OK with receiving gently used or homemade, and some things you absolutely do not want if they are gently used or homemade? gently used is fine as long as there's no body fluids!   And now a new question: I live near a Mast General Store (mastgeneralstore.com).

If so, what do you like to grow? herbs, purple & blue flowers   I'm about to be near a Lush store next week, is there anything you might like from there?no, I walk past Lush every day   Songs that you keep meaning to buy but never get round to it? Queen - Sheer Heart Attack   Any favorite Bath & Body Works scents/products?no, never smelled any   Haus of Gloi is offering custom perfumes - would you like one? What would your ideal blend be? I think this would be dodgy for me - I think I'd end up picking something that didn't work despite me liking the notes   Any Bath, Body or nutritional type items you would love to try from a Natural and Organic food store (similar to Whole Foods) that you don't buy because they are a bit too pricey?no     Witchee, will you be gone from your normal mailing address at any point during the round?only for some weekends   Are you a Disney fan or does even thinking about Disney make your head hurt?

Black trousers of some sort (probably leggings), bike boots like this, v-neck tunic top like this   You are to be let loose in a clothing store of your choice, to pick a full outfit, down to the shoes, the accessories, etc. and things would be altered to fit you if needed. What store would that be, and what would you look like? This coat that I've wanted forever, this shirt, some (more) plain black leggings. They don't sell shoes so I guess I'll go barefoot!   You open a box from the post office to reveal the 3 things you want most right now. What are they? (caveats: size doesn't matter, but they have to be tangible/buyable). BPTP belladonna yoga pants, the coat from the link above, some Leonida's chocolates   The end of this month I'm going to Scarefest, the big horror and paranormal con in Kentucky. (www.scarefest.com) If I were your witch, is there anything you would like from there (skull jewelry, art prints from an artist that catch your eye, etc), or anyone whose autograph or photo or such you would dig? The only horror themed stuff I really like is Roman Dirge   What is your holy grail "I'd kill to just have one drop in an imp" bpal scent? I don't have one now - it was Midway but I've been lucky enough to acquire a bottle, so no killing today!   Are there any existing Weenies that you have your eye on, but haven't gotten around to getting? I'm waiting for my decants to arrive to see, I already grabbed a bottle of Lurid library as that one I was sure about.   If you wear earrings, do you have pierced ears? yes   My new job is at a consignment store where we have all kinds of designer brands for very reasonable prices. Are there designer clothes/purses/sunglasses that you desire/love? (Give some indication as to your "style" as well. For example, do you like bohemian-style frocks in lavender? Crossbody purses in black? Sunglasses that are round and bug-like?) My style is I guess most reliably illustrated from one of these 2: Joe Browns or East. I tend to like long tunics with leggings underneath, or black jeans with a BPAL t-shirt, not so much into designer stuff except Radley picture bags like this or this or this I realize that we had a similar question in the ?aire, but I need you Witchee-s to list at least 5 items, each ranging $20 and under from Amazon.com or Walmart.com. Lots of things in this price bracket on my Amazon wishlist   In the meantime, let me know what you like to do on the Internet to kill time. Flash games? What are your daily websites/blog visits, or favorite YouTube videos? Here, Fallen London, Mousehunt, lots of IM to my dear ones   And what are your favourite characters from your fandoms? Inara & Kaylee from Firefly, Galen from Crusade   My Little Pony... Cute or meh? not only meh but ick   Lip balm - tube or tin? tube   Would you like to receive a journal or sketchbook? How about other pretty paper goods like post-its, notepads, bookmarks, letter paper/envelopes?I have lots of sketchbooks and don't really use any of the rest   Are you interested in audiobooks? If so, any specific titles? No thanks   Bar soaps with some scrubby bits, yes or no? Not for me Do you need any small electronic gadgets like flash drives and the like? No, got loads Would you like a pair of knitted socks? Absolutely - bright and stripy ankle length or calf length would be great   Do you have any use for knitted dishcloths, facecloths, etc, especially if they were fandom related? not really   Do you subscribe to any sample boxes, and if so, which ones? Would you like to receive some samples? no thanks do you have a problem with nudes??? If not, do you prefer male or female? I don't have a problem with nudes if they are well done - don't mind what gender Paintbox Soapworks: Interested in anything from her? It all looks lovely but I know I wouldn't use soap - maybe a body scrub   are there any other e-tailers you're desperately wanting to try? if so, any specific items/scents/etc? ThinkGeek: anything interesting to you on there? The tentacle hoody, and I think I had the Firefly Blue Sun posters already on my wishlist   What's one thing you want, right now, that you're having difficulty finding? Only intangible things like more time or more patience - or even, more sex. Not much help to my witch, I know!   Who here is going to be picking up JK Rowling's new book on Thursday? Not my sort of thing   What do you do to take care of yourself when you're having a rough day (sick, life not going your way, whatever)? A long soak in Butterfly Nectar or Hockey Urchin bath oil, chicken soup with lots of buttered bread, snuggling up under a quilt with a good book, chatting to my sweetie via IM, he almost always manages to make me smile   favorite and least favorite baked goods? Ginger cakes, fruit cakes and lemon cookies are all favourites - least favourites muffins and pies   what size T-Shirt do you wear (standard AND babydoll)? I'm awkward - BPTP tissue tees are a L but the standard and babydoll ones are probably still an XL. I get very confused with US XL sizes in general as they often swamp me, but I'm always a UK size XL   I found a fantastic little shop while traveling that had unusual jellies and jams. Would you be interested in trying something like Georgia Moonshine Jelly or TOE Jam (each letter stands for some kind of fruit, I don't remember which ones) or something similar? How about homemade jam in general? they sound interesting but they also sound heavy!   Would you be interested in homemade herbal remedies and tinctures? No thanks   Owls?Only if they talk like Samuel L Jackson Do any of Villainness' Soap Box exclusive scents interest you, especially any of the Smooches/Whippeds? I try to avoid getting interested in other US scent e-tailers, one addiction in that field is bad enough   Puddin' just put a shitton of old Lunacy shirts on the BPTP Etsy! Any ones interest you?I will be very interested in black L (or XL) once Puddin puts the tissue tees up - favourite designs of the ones up so far are Trick, 2008 Dragon Moon, Candles Moon, Whirling Wind Moon, Sea of Tranquility Moon, Windy Moon   Witchee, do you want anything from the Haunt update coming up on 10/3? I know it might be too early to say, but if you could look at the preview on the night of 10/2 and let me know if you want anything... probably not   Gardening? I grow some herbs on my square yard of garden   Is there anything you might want from the latest update (Lab or TP)? TP stuff: Pumpkin Tart or Dead Leaves candles, Pumpkin Pie or Spider Silk bath oils   What's a new company to you that you most want to try a product from or what would be a new product to you that you most want to try (make-up, perfume, or bath/body)?No one comes to mind     If you like necklaces, what are some symbols or images that you would love to have a necklace depict? (ex. spiders, skulls, hearts...?) Steampunk type stuff would be good - but easier to say what I'd hate: crosses, skulls, flowers   If you had a fairy for NYCC, what exclusive scent would you kill to own? I've got a fairy getting me Badger   What do you think of Shiro Cosmetics Halloween Collection? (www.shirocosmetics.com) They're really pretty but I only wear eyeliners   The Godiva Halloween Collection: Everything!   Would you be interested in comic books and if so what ones do you read or what genre of comics are you interested in? I have the Girl Genius ones on my Amazon wishlist. Love Sandman & Watchmen & Firefly but have all of those. WITCHEE, DO YOU WANT ANYTHING FROM CALIFORNIA? The entire contents of the Lab & the Trading Post? Other than that I don't really know!   IngenuiTEAs? I ahve a few individual teapots so no thanks Honeycrisp "Apple Crips" (Dried honeycrisp apples, nothing added.) DO YOU WANT SOME WITCHEE????? They sound nice   Design a tea? I'd end up making something very like chai!   FusionSweets? (etsy) The marshmallows look gorgeous and I'd buy some myself if the shipping was less, the chai caramels look wonderful but I'd be worried they'd wreck my teeth   Poe Day? Dark Del merch in general? Alone is the only one that grabs me   Kombucha? Sounds scary!     Are you dressing up for Halloween, Witchee? If so, is there anything you're looking for to complete your costume? No, we don;t really do that over here Do you need any accessories for your smartphone (case, skin, etc)? No - My iphone3 is on the way out and I haven't decided what's next yet
