I live in France, and we have some great tea here! Most folks know about Mariage Freres but may I suggest Damman Freres? Here's the link- they're still in summer mode, but I assure you, autumnal teas will grace their pages soon! (https://www.dammann.fr/en/)   
  Oh wow! These look terrific I will work on making a wishlist.  
Do you see anything you need from  Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update?   
Dead leaves on the dirty ground: bath streusel, hair and perfume oil or sorbetto; Granny Dank: glycerin soap; Pumpkin Daddy: hair and perfume oil 
Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1)  
Apple milk, cozy apple,  cozy pumpkin,  Persephone’s descent, Samhain, violet moon,  Kitchen Witch, hex 
Pumpkin butter, hair oil, perfume oil, soap, scrubbing bubbles or  refresher spray,  
Also, I know we have barely scratched the surface in knowing what the Lab will release for Weenies, but a wishlist couldn't hurt, so what'll it be?  
   
How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out?
  No thanks 
I'm  one of those crafty sorts that make things.  I make things by up cycling sweaters, for example - mittens, slippers, armwarmers (both solid or striped from multiple fabrics ).  Could also make a tea cosy with a mat.  I make bowls, mats & vessels from rope that I wrap with pretty cloth.  So essentially, functional, useful fiberart.  What might you like?  Long striped armwarmers? A pair of slippers, decadently lined in cashmere?  
   
Do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't  duplicate a book?  
   
Do you have a Halloween Tree?  Do you need ornaments? ;  
 
   
Do you have an Etsy wishlist?  
  
As of this writing, Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist?  
   
I am a bit known for my extremely light-weight hand crafted hair falls (I typically make them out of a combination of yarns, batting, and bits of up cycled silks and lace). Would you like one (for a pony tail effect) or two (for a pigtail effect)? If so, name two or three colors and any allergies to fibers I should know about.  
   
Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)?   
   
Would you be interested in custom artwork, such as a painting? If so, what mood, theme, colors, style, etc. would you be excited to see? If there's a dream, a dnd character, a favorite fairy tale, deity, etc. you'd love it to capture, spill those deets - including anything you wouldn't want (nudity, size restrictions, whatnot).  
   
Welp, the list of what will fully be available over the Dragon Con weekend (and a preview of Weenies!) is now available! I already asked the Peach Pit question, but now there's heaps more, so gimme your wishlist!!!     
   
- I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? 
   
- I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries?   
 
- I make custom ita rosettes/cases (pics here to explain what I mean https://tinyurl.com/mwtwmvfm). Is that something you might be interested in? If so, what type/colors/size/ etcetc    
- Snorg tees has some hilarious and awesome new shirts. They are also reasonably priced. Please give me 3 of your fav designs and tee size/color if available for a color option.  Sadly they don’t have tank tops and I am against sleeves.  
- BloomChic has some pretty fun plus and smaller size halloween fashions. If you so desire, give me your top 3 favs with sizes! website is bloomchic.com 
   
My questions:   
* I like making little flower arrangements with fake flowers; would you be interested in a mini bouquet? If so, any seasonal/color scheme requests?  
   
* Feelings on candles/wax melts?  
 
   
* Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas?

They do have alcohol, but can be used in seltzer or club soda in addition to adding that little somethin' somethin' to your favorite cocktail. I have already made rose, cinnamon bourbon, orange saffron, and ginger vanilla which I am happy to share or could also make something more bespoke in the next few weeks.  Note- these are made with vodka, unless otherwise specified.   Would you be interested in infusing kits for your alcohol of choice?

Krampusnacht swap

Would you like something embroidered my elf? I would love an embroidered tea towel or ornament with pinecones and/or pine boughs or other winter themes (rather than xmas) or Krampus.   Would you, dearest elf, be interested in some handmade hair falls? The kind I make are 1. extremely lightweight 2. made from up cycled and ethically sourced natural materials like silk and antique lace 3. completely customized just for you- so give me around three colors, preferred length and whether you'd like one big one (ponytail style) or two (space buns / pigtails style)  These sound so lovely, I wish I had the hair for it.  But no thank  you for now.   Would you be interested in homemade cocktail bitters? They do have alcohol, but can be used in seltzer or club soda in addition to adding that little somethin' somethin' to your favorite cocktail. I have already made rose, cinnamon bourbon, orange saffron, and ginger vanilla which I am happy to share or could also make something more bespoke in the next few weeks.  Note- these are made with vodka, unless otherwise specified.  the orange saffron sounds yummy or an orange spice. It would need to be potato and wheat free vodka (rice or grape is fine),   Would you be interested in infusing kits for your alcohol of choice? Could be for different liquors or wine, depending on your preferences.  No thank you, we already have one.  Is there anything that you would like to stock your liquor cabinet? Not really, I got out of drinking with all my allergy issues, and I just have small bits. If you wanted to send me some safe vodka I wouldn’t say no though.  Soooo I love the tea towels from Spoonflower AND they have a ton of Krampus type graphics.   Would you be interested in a tea towel from there?   (Bonus if you go look and give some links to your fav Krampus fabric.)  I kinda always need tea towels. We dirty them up pretty quick and the non-decorative ones get used all around the house. Having ones for the kitchen only, would be really nice.  Or I can order a fat quarter and make a bowl holder for you (works for hot OR cold, on the table, in your hands, microwavable) if you're interested.   I use them a lot for hot bowls. I think we have 3 now, and they are awesome. Adding a Krampus to the coffins, chickens and bunny ones could be fun.  Would you be interested in an Advent Calendar?   Sure, especially if it’s like a tea one or something fun like that.    ! Denotes an increased enthusiasm level for a particular scent  Anything from Haus of Gloi's site that you want? https://www.hausofgloi.com/blogs/haus-herald/yule-2024-info  (yule collection part 1 should be up on Sunday.)   Perfume Oil, hair oil, pumpkin butter, bubbling scrubs, whipped soap: Hearth, His Sweater!, Nefarious Gingerbread Sweater, Plotter’s Breakfast (also as a bar soap), Tannenbaum!,   Hair oil preferably or perfume oil, Snow Flower Butterbombs: Amber and Pine or Fresh Snow  Anything from Paintbox Soapworks? hair oil , bath streusel, hot process soap or shower scrub: Figlet, In Dulci Jubilo!, Rensdyr, Roses in the Snow!! How about Moonalisa?

Do you want any goodies for your pets?   (catnip, dog cookies, etc)  limited ingredient or homemade (wheat and corn free) cat treats are always welcomed by our ladies.   For NAUGHTY things, what do you think about ... ummm... kinky toys or adult toys? I might be into something like soft rabbit skin gloves for sensory play. Would you be interested in a small yule wreath if so what colors and theme would you fancy? A Krampus or Yule one would fun! Red, green, black if Krampus... I would love a wreath! Black and red would be pretty awesome or blue with white, silver, or gold for Yule. Green and gold would also be ok, but no green and red please.   Anything from sock dreams peak your interest? I have a wishlist!

13 Nights 2024

Anything in Paintbox Soap Works Halloween release that you'd like?
I like her hair and perfume oil, Bath strusel, hot process soap, sugar scrub,  
Demeter forsaken, Jack of the Woods (not the hair oil), Let me in Your Window, Nightwalker,  
Putney Road, Libby and Lavender soap.  
Anything hand knit or embroidered you might like?
I would adore knit or crocheted wrist warmers, and an embroidered witchy kitty would rock.
I make shower steamers, salves, candles, soaps and other such. Are you interested in any  
such homemade goodies?
I love all kinds of handmade goodies!
Would you like a small watercolor painting? I’m taking 3×5”. If so, would you like it  
based on your preferred Halloween motifs or something else?  
Something like a witchy cat or cute ghost could be fun or a still life with a pumpkin and  
black flowers could be really cool too. I'm also a sucker for ravens .
I make light-weight hair falls ( I can do single or double, if you have a preference for  
pony tail or pig tails)- I make them out of things like soft yarns, up-cycled silk and bits  
of lace. Is this something you'd like? If so, tell me up to three colors and a length in  
inches you'd like.
I wish I'd known you in my long hair days because I loved hair falls. The mohawk goes un-adorned however.  
Anything from the Haus of Gloi Fall update?
Apple milk, cozy pumpkin, Persephone’s descent, Samhain, violet moon, Kitchen Witch,  hex
Pumpkin butter, hair oil, perfume oil, soap, scrubbing bubbles, refresher spray,  
How about the Nocturne Alchemy Halloween update?

rose amber incense!, 31 Bats Morticia, Resurgence- Masquerade Anubis, NEFER, AMAR,  
WASIM, 31 Bats Count Diablo    9/8/2024

Milk, Dark, and or white Chocolate?

 dairy free Dark please, I prefer 70-85%.

Would you like a gently-used tarot or Lenormand deck?

 It would depend on the theme. I have several decks but I could make room for the right one.

I'm going to Disney World all next week!!! Can I get you something? (Maybe you have a favorite Disney / Star Wars / etc character or fandom? Maybe you're a Pin Trader? Maybe you like cute kitchen-wares / tea pots / nice English tea / pot holders tea towels?)

I love English teas, especially a good Earl Grey. I'm totally happy with a Darjeerling, Assam or Ceylon too. I also wouldn't mind tea towels or cute things that are also useful. I'm not a huge Disney fan, but I think Belle is my favorite princess.

This is has been alluded to in other questions, but feelings about candles/wax tarts/incense and scent profiles?

 I looove candles and there are a bunch on my Etsy wishlist. My scent preferences on candles are really similar to perfumes. Woods, smoke, incense,  resins,  florals, vegetal, leather, and such. No vanilla.

are you interested in skincare, such as trying travel sizes of various types? (would be cruelty-free, cleaner options coming from over here, if that matters to you!)
  I have a pretty stringent skincare routine that I'm happy with, so no thank you.

9/9/2024
Let's talk earrings.  Pierced?  Stud, dangly, hoop?  Any ear wire preferences?  Large or small?  Other preferences?

 I wear 2g silicone tunnels. I have a couple of colors but I wouldn't mind more. I can also put hoops or ear wires through my tunnels. I don't typically wear jewelry think.

If there is something extravagant on your wish list, would you like one large gift and the rest of your gifts quite modest, or would you rather forego the lavish item in favor of more of a mix among your other gifts?   Hmmm... I think I lean slightly towards being spoiled and getting a big thing with smaller other things.

The Trader Joe's Fearless Flyer is out with all of their autumn offerings. Is there anything you would like?   Maple spiced nuts and the organic maple butter    9/11/2024

I have in my possession a selection of real Bakelite bangle bracelets! Definitely from the 1940s-1960s era. Would this be an exciting gist for you to receive?
  I love how they look and they would have gone perfect in my former work wardrobe. These days I would only wear them on special occasions.
Would you like anything from sock dreams?
I used to have a wishlist there, but now they've gone to shopify.   If I can't figure out how to link my wishlist, I will add more items here.   For now,  a quick standout are the new disability pride roll top crew socks. I'm a size M/L. I would also love a pair of the NZ bed socks in navy or emerald. I used to have a pair that lasted many years before getting too many holes. The wool fingerless gloves look cozy,  I like the cinder color.
9/13/2024

Would you be interested in a spooky mini waffle maker or spooky playing cards?   No thank you. I could use a full size waffle maker though and I wouldn't mind if they were pumpkin shaped or such.

Does anything from SnagTights strike your fancy?   I have wanted a pair of their chub rub shorts for a long time.I really like the Nightwalker (bats) design I'm a size F. I also like the lunar Capri tights,  the ACOTAR bow before none tights, and the Hecate tights.

What about from Michaels or JoAnnes?   I will look through their seasonal offerings and update this response.

do you like Ren fairest?  Might there be a fun little thing I should find for you there?   I used to go every summer, but now it's really difficult for me. I am sure there are things I would love. Incense, jars, empty journals,  and other such.

9/14/2024

Weather permitting I'll be going to a witchy Florida themed night market next week! Is there anything you may want from it?   Sure! I have no idea what they'll have but I'm certain there are things I might love. Like Florida official Florida water? Incense,  smudging things, candles, items for my altar and so on.    9/17/2024

Do you desire any Samhain ritual-type items, if so, what?     More raven themed items for my Morrigan alter, Morrigan themed items,  bones, 

Tell me, my ghoul-friend, would you love to see things from these places (and what?) as you unwrap your gifts? I will be going to the Pacific coast soon, and there are witchy stores (one with serious occult supplies, many handmade including inks, quills, books, etc), a HUGE gem & mineral store, a huge yarn shop, shells and way too much sasquatch stuff, also an amazingly diverse mercantile in Yachats, OR, and the Green Salmon, where unique PNW teas, coffees are sold.   I always love unique teas! I am a recovering yarn hoar and not buying myself yarn,  but if it was gifted... I love rocks and gems, garnet are my favorite, but moonstones , labradorite, onyx, obsidian, jasper, amethyst.. ah yeah.. just anything is great. Lol! I would love a proper quill and ink to play with, I'm a sucker for for journals, runes, books on plants, herbarium, green Witchcraft, hedge witchery, cottage witchery or kitchen Witchcraft are welcome. Check out my Amazon list for ideas.
