1. I wonder what a potential witchee would think about being bombarded with PUMPKINS in various formats. Because my current obsession just may last long enough to be of use in spoiling.....but I know wouldn't be appreciated by everyone. Would you appreciate it?!?

I'm over punkin food/sweet stuffs, but decor is a-okay with me.

 

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).

For me I will pass, but thank you.

 

3. Trading Post wants?

A coffee mug! I like the sweet foodie or fresh nature smells for atmo, but I'm still pretty new to the TP and I only have 1 gloss right now (silkybat - OMGGG) but right now I don't have long hair so I don't get the smells like I used to.

 

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.

I will pass on Avon, Mary kay, Scentsy, ect. Brands I stay away from, the only one that comes to mind is, Too Faced.

 

5. How about y'alls coffee and tea preferences?

Coffee coffee CoffEE!!!! I'm a purist, plain beans with no added flavor. I tend to use just a minimal amount of raw sugar and if absolutely necessary a little cream and lately i've been into cold brew coffee & I've been dying to get a nice brew system like a Toddy or something similar, right now i'm using a makeshift system with a mason jar and a busted coffee maker.

There are only two teas that I have really fallen in love with (not that I don't like tea but I'm very picky and I don't like to taste grass)The Spice and Tea Exchange Coconut Oolong Tea & the Tazo Wild Sweet Orange. I am open to other tea, but I don't like my tea to taste like grass, it doesn't need to taste like fruit but not grass lol :)

 

6. Do you cook? Would kitchen accessories make you happy?

I love to cook but my roommates leaving the kitchen in a horrible state has left me in a situation to avoid cooking for the last few months. Moving out soon though and I'll be starting with nothing so anything helps. :) I would like to put bright colors in my kitchen and I like silicone cook stuffs/measuring cups/spoons

 

7. How do people feel about creative endeavors? Would you like to receive one? Or supplies to make your own? What do you like? Drawings, stories, poems?

I love being creative! I love when people are creative and make things for me. I have been recently bitten by the maker bug and I know I will be putting thing together for my witchee. I added a whole lot of art stuffs to my amazon wishlist, and really it was mostly seeing shiny fun things and saying sure i would like to play with that, and that and that. I have no real needs, just a desire to try new things out, and to see new processes.

 

8. What culture or country (doesnt have to be modern) do you feel an innate connection with? What about it makes it special to you?

There are a few places I have a gut feeling that if I ever visited, I would never want to come back. Boston is one, I think it's because it's a seaside town & a strong Irish heart to the city. The other is Ireland. I have always been driven to find my mother's family and they come from Cork. I have an innate draw to the green and fae and druids. I have always wanted to know more.

 

9. Is there any sort of art commission you would like: cartoon, pin-up, fantasy, realistic, etc? If so, what subject would you like drawn (a picture of you, a character, a loved one or pet)?

I can't think of anything right now.

 

10. What do you find yourself doing for fun in your free time? What are your main hobbies and interests?

Most recently in my free time I have been playing with paints and distress inks making stuff for my witchee.

 

11. Table-top gaming? If yes, what kind, edition, etc? Gaming accessories you long for?

 

12. DVD movies or games that you wish would magically appear in your hands? Can they be used, through Amazon?

I don't have

 

13. What kind of snacks or candy from other countries/states would you like to try?

Pocket Coffee is amazing! I can rarely find it over here, I think it's German. I would love to try some of those fun japanese candy kits, cola flavored candy is great!

 

14. Do you have a favorite internet meme, character or pop culture fandom?

Eh, I'm usually behind on meme and internet stuffs. Fandoms I dig are Doctor Who, Sherlock, Firefly, Hannibal, and other things I'll add as I remember.

 

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.

22. Are you superstitious about anything? Any things you can't have in your house for that reason--bad associations?

I keep mirrors to a minimum in my house. Like the bathroom and that is it. I'm weird but I am still traumatised from my childhood of the horror stories and the names and the dark. ugh thinking about it freaks me out. I never did it but it scared me and scarred me. :(

 

23. For the vegetarians and vegans: How do you feel about things (say, marshmallows or gummy candy) made with vegan gelatin or other typically-animal-derived-but-not-in-this-instance products?

I'm good with gummies and the mallow!

28. If you had a week free where you could learn anything, with no financial restrictions, what would you want to study?

29. Do you enjoy poetry? Who are your favorite poets and what type of subject matter do you like?

My top three Disney characters are: Capt. Hook, Ariel, Eeyore. I love Disney stuff, I would never complain about that. ^_^

 

31. How do you feel about cute things as decorations or accessories?

Cute stuff is cute. I like odd things, but I also like practical odd things. Like weird ice cube molds or fun kitchen things that look like other things.

 

32. What is something you'd really like to recieve from your witch? Please be as specific as possible - no, "Oh whatever she thinks is fine!"

I honestly don't have any needs, Coffee or sweets are always good. Or something to put up/or use in my new place would be awesome.

 

33. Tarot cards/rune stones:

I know a strange mix but I love all three of them and I can only imagine the heaven I would be in to be with that man, or any one of those men ^_^ I love a smart, hard working, and well spoke man. If there is an English Accent involved even better!

 

36. Glitter? are you okay with it, or hate it like the plague?

Love!

 

37. If there was another time period other than now that described your style/aesthetics, what would it be?

Right now I waver between being a hippy and a housewife. I love the 60's and the 50's.I lean more towards the 50s though, Mad Men has such an aesthetic that is amazing! Classy as fuck, and I would love if my job I could smoke and drink in the afternoon. It would be amazing! Another time period that calls out to me in Shakespeare's time, I would totally fit in and then I would find shakespeare and prolly be one of this groupies. I'd hit it ^_^

Like the Nyx Soft Matte Creme or the Revlon Matte Lip Balm (My only problem with this product is that there is no real security seal on there, I'm kinda anal about things like that).

59. Zombies, yes or no?

Eh, I'm picky about my zombies. Rage zombies (28days), YES. Zombies like in Cold Hearts, no. Walking dead has good zombies. I don't know, I really had a strange reaction to zombies at first. I saw shawn of the dead and I was so turned off by them, but as soon as I saw 28weeks then 28days I was in LOVE. They're just so fast and filled with rage and energy. :wub3:

 

60. Would you like arm warmers/fingerless gloves? If so, what length? just beyond the wrist, almost to the elbow, full sleeves?

Oh that smells soooo good! I will pass on the bar soaps, I just don't use them enough. I have 1/2 a bar left from last years summer blues. I love the way they smell I kind of wish she did body wash too. Love the scrubs. Other scents I dig that are active in the store right now are candy floss, avast, nekisse, & Indian summer. I forgot how much I dig this store!

 

63. How would you feel if your witch or a minion of your witch showed up in person at your house with goodies? Thrilled? Annoyed? Completely creeped out?

Say if someone had LadyWench minion for them I would be okay with her showing up on my doorstep, but other than that I might pass. Lol not that I live in a bad neighborhood, I just don't open my door for people.

 

64. Do you have a ravelry account? Tell me about your yarn obsessions.

I do not but I should!! I am still in the novice category, straight lines are my friends :lol: I used to collect different knitting needles but in my many moves they have been lost. including my favorite pair of clear 13US needles that had green stripes inside like those cats eyes marbles.

 

65. Sock Dreams, yay or nay?

yay, but I'm a big lady so most of those things don't fit right. I have a pair of thigh high striped socks from last year and I don't get to wear them often. But they are very fun! Iheartcolors has a great array of plus size fishnet/tights/leggings in like 100 colors!

 

66. Knitted items like scarves, shawls, dishclothes....yay or nay? Favorite fibers? Favorite colors?

I'm pretty sensitive to milk products, I don't want to say no but cause...come on! CARAMEL! but I'm just not sure how my belleh would feel.

69. Would you enjoy getting a sampling of quality incense taken from various sources? Are there types of incense you know you don't like? 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?

The only incense I burn is Nag Champa. It just has a really good smell, as well as memories tied to it. I would always burn a stick before any performances, or before any big dates/concerts. It just helped to center and calm my nerves. Maybe that is what I'm missing in my life right now, to just relax *note to self* grab some next time your at the store lol

 

70. I know we already had a question about needed kitchen accessories, but what about spices?

Sure! I'm up to try anything really, just not too spicy or too heavy on the nutmeg.

I'm good with brushes and stuff, I don't use the ones I already have.

 

78. 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?

Whatever you want. I'll be happy with 10 littles or 1 big, it is all the same to me, so whatever is best for you :)

84. Would you be interested in receiving a box of sugar cube skulls?

They look SO cute, but I don't know what I would do with them. I would love to eat them but I don't know, they're just so pretty ^_^ so, and i'm sure eventually all but one would be devoured. something nice to have in my desk in case of emergency.

 

85. Skin care routine? Fave cleanser? Toner? Moisturizer? What about body lotions? Any particular brand or scent? Lip balms? Yay or nay?

97. Would you like some chai, lemon, rose water or other flavored sugar cubes?

98. Jamberry nail wraps?
