We always end up watching Rocky horror on halloween, even if we plan on watching something else. With the big debate on the english or american version. I Would Love to get a hold of a copy of Hocus pocus. I go aroudn singing "amock amock, we're running amock"   Are roasted pumpkin seeds and home made chex mix the best fall snack foods, or what?

Wrist warmers? Arm warmers? Headband? Shawl? Or what kind of knitted thing would you love the most? ANYTHING knitted in soft baby safe yarn would be GREAT and loved if not fought over   How do you feel about ghost stories? Do you like to tell the old tales around a campfire? Read true accounts on the web way past your bedtime? Do you like to pick up a good anthology of Poe stories on a blustery day? Or is all that too scary for you? NO scary stuff for me. Hubby likes his arm attached   Does anyone in here wear a lot of dangly earrings or collect pendants of all kinds?? How about hair clips or pony tail band things? Oh man I wear hair sticks but they have to be LONG and thick.

What kind? Board games? RPG? Miniature? MMORPG? WoW for the win   Mulling spices? yes please we have a local meadery and they just CALL for mulling spices   Imagine that you're given a shoebox-sized time capsule, and you are asked to put any number of items in the box that symbolize who you are. The items can be may be anything you can imagine, and money is no object, but they must fit within the box. Which items do you choose? A sci-fi story collection with butcher, briggs and hamilton in it.   Steampunk? some but only if it doesn't have shape edges and is Shiney   Who are your BPAL forum buddies?

Queen Alice and Queen of hearts   Do you believe we control our destiny, or does our destiny control us? i believe its both. we have choices and they affect how we get places. You can go the hard way or the soft way but i think we end up in about the same place   For the tea and coffee drinkers: Opinion on tea- and/or coffee-related accessories/etc? Actually I NEED snarky coffee cups, My favorite at the moment is a Fan Girl warning one that a past witch got me that I have literally taken away from other when they go to use it.   Do sounds make you happy? What ambient noises make you smile? well the only noise i Know i go out of my way to hear is rain on a tin roof.

dear witchie

I would like to admit right now that i plan on talking to you. I hope you have found this blog at some point and so i am not TALKING to myself.   I fell into something in etsy today. i DIDN'T know they had fabrics. I happen to have s SLIGHT addiction to bright colored fabrics. My main problem is i can never figure out how to DO something with them. it has been my intention for YEARS to find someone that will explain a way to use my fabric horde. I am a magpie as you will see from what i put in the amazon list tonight. The problem is I want two things from a quilt. I want it to be pretty and i want to SLEEP under it. these are rather Mutually non sequators to each other. I am sure i could MAKE the top of a quilt, but i have NO IDea On how to go about backing and filling it.   Sooo it has always been this thing i will do. I have 25 YEARS worth of jeans to be made into something and three drawers full of the brightest and funess cottons.   So there witchie an idea sorta.

damned enablers!

Okay in typical SW fashion i have now stumbled upon the weird and fascinating Fyrinnae cosmetics. I LOVE this concept but i have NO idea where i would get started OR how to do it. BUT Witchy i would LOVE some samples of this!!although i would need their pixie epoxy to keep it on with. Or a make up base of some sort as i am soooo not up on make up stuffage.   so far the one i WANT the most is Daemon’s Tail as it sound FABULOUS! not sure i have anywhere to ACTUALLY where it but i would SURE try it out and wear it around the house. I also love the names and colors of Rapunzel had extensions, Oberon, and shinkirou.   As always this is just an idea of my color choices and ideas.

Blooddrop is a thing I should havn't looked at

So I looked at the Blood Drop update. never having been to that site I was a little like a kid in the candy story but I think i tamed it back. As with anything these would be the things that i liked and was interested in please dont think you have to do anything.

So first thing i saw were the bath truffles. Apple wood and rum sound so nice. Ghostly and Late Summer were also nice

Then i hit bathing oils a personal love of mine. Apple Cider doughnut, Jord, Sjofn

Bubble bars well Appple cider doughnut, Rubies and Emeralds, Soft Falling, Nightly

the perfumes I want to have a sample of were Eerie Dearie, My other Car is a broom, Santa meurte.

Now Chamber sprays sound particularly delicious apples and Bees (okay this sounds good enough to Roll in), Skol and Hato

her hair oils sound very rich so Aragon and macadamia, Cider Doughnut, and Apples and bees

that is about all i found well beside some of the corsets that i wanted to bring home.

As always witch of mine be happy!!

Companies like NAVA, Arcana, Solstice Scents, Possets, Haus of Gloi etc.....? No idea of those I admit My BPAL addiction takes up all my spare cash so i have avoided looking. But I Love Crisp Apple scents and my girls are all about FOOD scents. I went and did some research on this looking up the listed places. I WOULD love some of House of Gloi hair oil to play with- Elevenses Moon Dog, Twice Is Nice. For NAVA I am going with Nocturne Alchemy Apothecary- from the weenies I liek the look of ghost Velvet (samples Please) and trick or treat look to be the only things. Possets havnt done fall yet and well the summer just donnt appeal. Arcana I have some in my wish list from years past       9/22/15 Do you have an affinity for any specific animals?
