Does anything from Paintbox Soapworks catch your eye (http://paintboxsoapworks.com/)?

I love paintbox and am always glad to get her hot process soaps and lotions. 

 

Does anything from the Trading Post's etsy page catch your eye (https://www.etsy.com/shop/bptradingpost)?

Is there anything you want from Japan? Current kit kat flavors are... Salty Lemon, Salty Lychee, Sweet Potato, Chestnut and possibly still some Cookies and Cream Ice Cream or Strawberry Ice Cream from summer. Other than that, anime goods, cute stationery, other Japanese snacks, lay it on me!

 

I love trying new and odd flavors of candy.  Stationary is good.  I'm a sucker for cute things.  I've fallen hopelessly in love with Fruit's Basket all over again watching the reboot of the anime. 

 

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.

 

I don't actually know.  I'm really bad at self care.  Probably gardening stuff.  I'm getting ready to out more bulbs in soon and I always want more.  Tulips, daffodils, hyacinth...... anything that will grow in zone 5 b.  I know they sell drill bits for planting bulbs and that would be amazing to have.

are you familiar with https://www.a-natural-alternative.com/ ?  Take a peak & let me know if you might like to try something. 

 

The lip balms all look awesome!


9/2/20

 

Would you like a face mask from one of my favorite artists? https://akumuink.com/collections/facemasks

 

I like the plague seeker and glimmer of light masks

 

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? 

 

The silver cranes is gorgeous.

 

 

9/3/20

 

Would you like anything from here? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TaterRoundsBeauty

 

I don't really wear much makeup


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?

 

All of that sound delicious.

 

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? 

 

I love homemade things

 

Is there anything you'd like from Penzeys (https://www.penzeys.com/)? 

 

I use a ton of their Vietnamese Cinnamon.  Ginger and vanilla are pretty heavily used here too. 

 

9/8/20

 

Art and artists - anyone dig any of this? https://www.studiodesade.com/  (They also do masks, see here.)  

 

If you knit/crochet/weave, would you like custom dyed yarn?  And if so do you have preference on weight, fiber, colors?

 

what is one fun/frivolous thing for $20 or less that you’d enjoy?

 

If I sent you to a dollar store with $20, what would you walk out with?

 

Probably a lot of candy, tbh

 

9/9/20

 

would anybody like a small cross stitch thing, like a patch or pin? or cross stitching notions like handmade needle minders?

 

9/11/20

 

Is there anything you'd like from the UK? 

 

Yes

 

Do you have a particular fandom you'd like stuff from?

 

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 adore tea.  I drink more tea then any one person should drink.  I tend to prefer black teas

 

How do you feel about fragrant things for the home like incense, candles, atmosphere spray?  

 

No incense of candles please, my allergies mean I very rarely or never use them.  I do use atmos. 

 

Do you share your home with any loved ones (human, feline, canine, etc.) who might enjoy a tiny treat too?  

 

I have so many being in the house that all like to be loved on.  My kids are 10, 7, and 4.  And I have 3 dogs and 3 cats that appreciate treats.

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 Cuddle fish one is super cute.

 

What about www.drawingsbynicole.com? Anything specific?

 

Does anything from www.vapidlacquer.com stick out to you?

 

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! 

 

After enjoying looking at the links several others have put in the questions, I decided to add some of my own favorite independent artists who I enjoy supporting - so, what do you think of the goodies from these people? And specific items you love? Enjoy!

1) https://www.catcoven.com/

2) https://www.mineralgypsy.com

3) https://www.redbubble.com/people/thelatestkate/shop

4) https://www.marikapaz.com/shop/

5) https://www.faunwood.com

6) https://www.shannatrumbly.com/

7) https://fiddlersgreenzine.com

8 ) https://www.hedgespokenpress.com

 

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.

 

I enjoy historical reproductions and am a fan of LBCC Historical Apothecary. Is there something in her store you might be interested in?

 

9/13/20

 

Do you have a favorite art style/movement/artist?

Who is your fashion icon(s)? 

I don't have one

 

What is your favorite mythological creature? 

Dragon


is there anything you want from Lush?

 

Do you need any astrological work done, since thats one of my professions? Any particular areas you could utilize a consultation?

 

How do you feel about the homemade fudge I sell in my etsy shop?  https://www.etsy.com/shop/HollysRainbow -particular preferences, flavors (consider I take special flavor requests all the time!)?

 

How do you feel about keto or sugar-free, low carb baked goods or treats??

 

They are okay.  I really don't like sugar alternatives though, like stevia.  It tastes bitter rather than sweet to me.

No allergies, but I have fibromyalgia and I like soft things.  I like 'autumn' colors.  Rich reds, browns, oranges, yellow, green.

I have been remiss--witchee (or anyone needing a minion), I am notorious for homemade caramels, shortbreads both savory and sweet, and catnip/catnip laced toys.  I've also started playing with homemade marshmallows and fruit candies.  Any interest?

 

Oh yes.
