A new purse, in my price range!

 

Paintbox Soapworks: Interested in anything from her?

I have a stack of soaps waiting to be used up, so I'm ok right now. Although, I REALLY wish Mandinka was in lotion form! That soap smells SO good!

Would you like a pair of knitted socks?

I'd LOVE a pair of knitted socks!

Ninjas or Pirates?

Both!

 

I have an extra room spray and 2 extra bath oils (one Cephalopod, one Exhibit Hall Fatigue) from Dragon*Con - would anybody like a decant?

Sure.

Whatever you think I'd like.

 

Do you have any Fall or Halloween traditions?

This is my favorite season! I don't have any traditions though, unless you could eating all the apple and pumpkin things!

 

Are you OK with "special deliveries"?

Sure

 

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?

I would be ok with that!

I am a gamer, I play a lot of video games! One game I'd like to get eventually is Gloom!

No beans, I don't have a grinder. My favorite is Pumpkin Spice!

We don't have a local place anymore. I usually go to Starbucks for Latte's and Dunkin for coffee.

I do.

 

You are meeting up with someone on a casual lunch/early afternoon thing. This person is someone you want to impress/look good for (for whatever reason, not necessarily romantic, and not necessarily for business either). What would you look like, given the contents of your wardrobe/etc?

I'd wear jeans, a tee shirt, my Vans, some eye makeup and jewelry.

 

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?

Oh no. I'm so simple! I'd probably pick a nice pair of skinny jeans that actually fit in all the right places, a cute tee-shirt (like from Threadless), and a pair of checkered vans. I am SO SIMPLE. I don't dress up unless I have to and when I do, it's all black.

 

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).

Hmmm... new tarts from Scentsy, The Perilous Parlor, and a pair of slippers that look like boots.

My husband, myself, my dogs, Simon Pegg (SPACED was great!), Bo Burnham, and of course I'm on the yewberry train!

 

I live in Japan. Anything you would be interested in from there?

I would love to try the different Kit Kats. I like blythe! Anything Kawaii!

 

If you have cats, do they like catnip toys? If you have doggies, would they like a super-reinforced canvas toy with a squeaker in it?

If you have kids, what are they into?

n/a

 

How do you feel about wearable knitted lace? Shawls, wraps, and the like?

Maybe like a scarf? Or a shawl that doesn't come down in a V in the back.

 

Looking at the warehouse, I notice that our lovely Greenwoodtree is able to do chart readings and/or forecasts at a very reasonable rate. Is this something you would want?

Probably not really.

I like the pumpkins.

I love rustic looking pottery, especially in earth tones or sea green.

 

Do you have a forum buddy? Someone who knows you and/or your tastes well enough to answer questions on your behalf?

Nope.

What's the neatest freebie you've gotten? It can be cool or thoughtful or just totally unexpected, and not limited to BPALdom.

I enjoy spices and anything mushroom or owl themed would be cool.

 

Do you like cute, seasonal or fluffy PJ bottoms? Like they sell at Target, Old Navy (they have had cute Halloween ones!) If so, what size do you wear?

Since I work from home right now - I live in pajamas. I'm a Large.

 

What kind of chocolate do you like? Nuts, no nuts, white,dark, etc?

I don't like white chocolate, mint, or fruit flavored. I'm kind of in love with Ritter Sport Butter Biscuit - but it's kind of hard to find. Marzipan is gross. Oh and Fifth Avenue Bars are my first love. I like nuts! :blush:

I live close enough to a Trader Joe's.

 

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!

I actually need two kitchen throw rugs without rubber backing. That's probably what I'd buy.

 

I'm from Canada - is there anything specifically a witchee might like that is only available here?

Maple candies!

 

What are your "fandoms" and would you like a t-shirt from TeeFury if an appropriate one came up?

I don't like TeeFury shirts - the tee-shirts themselves aren't soft and comfortable. I'm more of a Woot or Threadless girl.

Do you have an eReader and if so which one?

I have a Nook and the Kindle app on my phone and computer.

 

Do you like candles, or tart burners, or something? If so, what's your favorite scent to burn?

I love my Scentsy burner! Scentsy specific - my favorite is Love Story. I like pumpkin and cinnamon everything, even though my husband doesn't.

 

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?

Ok!

 

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)?

I think it would be super awesome to receive a pair of socks.

 

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.

 

How would you feel about a taste of (insert witch location here) box?

Sure!

I have more maple syrup in my fridge than I know what to do with.

 

I have 5 bushels of tomatoes sitting in the kitchen right now that are supposed to turn into red sauce tomorrow, so would anyone like a basic red sauce (spaghetti sauce) to make its way to them?

Sure!

YES!! THAT WOULD BE AWESOMESAUCE. I LOVE BATS.

 

Witchee, will you be gone from your normal mailing address at any point during the round?

I don't think so.

 

Are you a Disney fan or does even thinking about Disney make your head hurt? If you're into Disney, would you like something from the Happiest Place on Earth ;) ?

Stuffed things: yea or nay?

Nay - I have dogs.

Sure!

 

Would you be interested in beer, wine, or other specialty beverages from your Witch's area?
