1.  Would you like anything from Paintbox Soapworks Halloween line? https://paintboxsoapworks.com/new-limited-edition/2022-weenie-collection/ Normally I would, but nothing is grabbing me this year. 

 

2.  Do you have any interest in Halloween or spooky squishmallows? Sure! It will inevitably live in my kid's room with the Devil Corgi we got a year or two ago. 

 

3.  Anything from Bath & Bodyworks Halloween Line? I just placed an order a week ago, but I would definitely be interested in candle in my preferred scents - especially anything with a cider vibe.

 

4.  Autumn/Fall scents I love:  Pretty sure I addressed this, but I love pumpkin and apple cider scents, spices, and boozy scents. 

Ones I dislike:  I don't really care for leaves or moss or incense.

My lovelies, what about you?  Are they different for home vs body & bath??  I definitely will go a little more earthy in candles. 

 

5.  I make things from old sweaters.

If I were to make you a set of arm warmers/ fingerless mitts, what color(s) & style?

Options-

Long or short?

Solid - one fabric

Stripes- bands of colors sewn together- like fun black & red, black & purple etc.  I currently have some nice cashmeres. I would definitely be more interested in stripes or patterns in my favorite colors. Either long or short would be lovely. 

 

6.  I'm going to Disneyworld in late September! I'll be going to all four parks and attending both the Not-So-Scary Halloween Bash and Epcot's Food and Wine Festival. Is there ANYTHING from Disney that you would like? Is there something you collect that perhaps you'd enjoy a Disney version of (tea, socks, enamel pins, plushies etc etc etc)???   

I would definitely be interested in Haunted Mansion or spooky Muppets or Villains merch - pins, plushies, socks all sound great. Tea is fascinating.

7.  I make lightweight, doll-like hairfalls out of things like silk ribbon and yarn. Would you like some, either to incorporate into your costume or just for personal year-round use? If so, name your colors, length and any fibers you could have an allergy to. I love this idea but my hair is super short and I don't really have any occasion to wear them. 

 

8.  I am going to Dragon Con for the first time! Which of these BPALs do you want? https://us4.campaign-archive.com/?u=50266fc02a3b75767125e0ed2&id=9bf4d797e8

I am ordering a bunch, but I'd love decants of 

Chrome Peaches
Pomegranate Peach Martini
Peach Absinthe
Peach, Coconut Cream, Marshmallow, and Nougat
Ridiculously Sexy Peach
Peach Milk
Peach Kissed Daddy by Effy

 

9.  Would you be interested in a bag like we sell in our etsy shop?    https://twinklentwilight.etsy.com

- if so, but you don't see fabric you like maybe link to some photos of fabric you like?

- we can do small box bags or pencil / cosmetic / notions type bags too.  or with a drawstring on top instead of a zipper.

- you don't HAVE to use them just for knitting/crochet, you can use them for cross stitch or even not as project bags.

I love the cat and bat prints, but already have my amazing Black Widow one. ;)

 

10.  If you are a yarnie, are you interested in a ceramic yarn bowl?  I have an extra Harry Potter (I know, I know) one from Lennymud that I bought before the whole JKR debacle and it didn't profit her in any form anyway.  I believe it's Gryffindor themed.

I am so NOT a yarnie. 

 

11.  If you are a yarnie, I'd love to gift some yarn from my stash so give me an idea of colors / weight / material / yardage you'd like.  

Same.

12.  Are you interested in trying some of our "thunder butter"?  It's like tiger balm or icy hot, but with herbs, beeswax, cayenne or ghost pepper, menthol, wintergreen. 

cbd version or no?

Absolutely. I've never tried CBD, so might be interested in that, actually.

 

13.  I need to inventory our canned goods but do you like things like peach jam, cardamom plum jam, peach butter, plum butter, pickles, applesauce with nothing added, applesauce with red hots, dried apples or pears, bread and butter pickles, dill pickles, blackberry jam, huckleberry jam, candied jalapenos?  

You know I am. ALL OF IT.

14.  Any interest in things from our garden like dried mint, catnip, lavender, rose petals, dill weed or dill seeds, sage, rue, mugwort, rosemary?

Dried mint and catmint would be fabulous. Ooh, and rose petals. 

 

15.  How about alcoholic things like rose petal liqueur, lavender vanilla bean liqueur, various flavors of mead (chocolate orange, strawberry mango, whatever my son is making)?

I would especially love to try the mead, since I've not had it before and I adore mead. 

 

16.  Pumpkin bread or zucchini bread?  How about blueberry zucchini bread with a lemon glaze?  

Goodness yes. the blueberry zucchini with lemon glaze sounds incredible. 

 

17.  How do you feel about raisin in baked goods? I am definitely not opposed. 

 

18.  Lego? If so, what types, minifigures? I am always up for minifigs, especially the mystery bags. I'd love more Muppets ones and the new series coming out this fall. 

 

19.  Favorite spooky fictional characters? Generally, I tend to like vampires more than werewolves, don't really like zombies. In terms of specific characters, NMBC...weirdly drawing a total blank on specific characters. 

 

20.  Luvmilk's seasonal goodies are out.  What would you like?   https://www.luvmilk.com/mm2022.html#/ It looks like everything is sold out and I am so confused. :lol:

 

21.  Would you like a Pyrex 4-cup Nightmare Before Christmas bowl with lid?   (Can also get Star Wars and various Disney ones.) Sure! I have the cat/bat one already and have some on my wishlist. 

 

22.  August Tea's fall sale starts tomorrow, 20% off everything on the site with code FALL20.  Is there anything you would like to try, my Pumpkin?  https://august.la/ I listed a bunch in my Summer Sprite answers. Honestly, I'd probably prefer something more specifically autumn.

 

23.  I grow lots of different herbs and I'm dehydrating loads of them right now, are you possibly interested in: catnip, sage (culinary and/or purple), oregano (Greek and/or purple), rosemary, plantain herb, chives, celery, licorice mint, lovage leaf, mugwort, mint, spearmint, chives, borage leaf, blackberry leaf, raspberry leaf, comfrey, lemon balm, or others? 

Catnip, licorice mint, other mints all sound good.

 

24.  My peacock is molting his tail feathers, would you like some?

I have a bunch from a previous swap. ;)

 

25.  I'm learning embroidery. Is there a simple motif or symbol (like a pumpkin, a black cat, flowers, spider web…) you might like hand embroidered?

Spider web, bats, black cat all sound lovely. 

 

26.   Would you like either a basket or a tablemat (that works as a place to put hot dishes as well as being decorative).

I make both from fabric wrapped rope that is sewn together.  Could be a bread/rolls basket, a yarn bowl for knitting or crochet, or a big flat mat.

A bread basket could be neat. 

 

27.  I'm taking a trip to New Orleans, anything you'd like food or souvenir-wise? 

Chicory coffee? Bignet mix?

 

28.  Are your booklists linked somewhere, and up to date? 
My goodreads is totally up to date and there's a bunch of books on my Amazon wishlist. 

 

29.  Do you have fur kids and would they like treats as well??  

My kitty girl would love treats and catnip. She doesn't really do toys.

 

30. Do you have any interest in trying my infused moonshine whiskey? I've been thinking of experimenting with autumn spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove) and maybe a chocolate chai. 

This is my own question, but I am ALWAYS interested in trying your boozy experiments. ALWAYS.

 

31. Any interest in spooky shape wax melts in your favorite candle scents? (What are your favorite candle scents?)

No thank you on wax melts. I do find myself actively craving a spicy-boozy apple cider candle.

 

32. How about lotion bars? I've never really tried them, but would definitely be interested.

 

33. Bird and Blend tea just did their Autumn drop! Anything look good to you? https://www.birdandblendtea.us  (Also, if you're not a pumpkin person, I invite you to check out the rest of their offerings, which are always exceptional!)    I am absolutely fascinated by the sticky chais, especially the mulled cider and pumpkin. Really, the entire Halloween line looks fab.

 

34.  Do you need any BPAL storage?  Bottles?  Imps? Not really, but thank you!

 

35.  Does anything catch your eye from my local tea purveyors? https://www.fridaytea.com/ (I hope they make more Womb of Doom soon!) or https://perennialtearoom.com/

All of the fall seasonals from Friday Tea look lovely, generally anything that is some combination of fruity/boozy/chocolatey/spicy

 

36.  Can you use a mug?  What kind/size do you like?

I shouldn't, but if you see something that just screams me, especially if it is relevant to one of my fandoms or favorite spooky animals. I like BIG mugs for coffee or travel mugs without handles. 

 

37.  One of my favorite Etsy chandlers is having a sale, anything catch your feathery fancy?  https://www.etsy.com/shop/TeresaLynnsSimpleLux

Mulled Cider, Apple cider donut, Poisoned Apple, Witches Brew...you get the idea. ;)

 

38. If I were ordering some marmalade or other jammy things, would you be interested in any of the following?  Orange Marmalade, Blood Orange Marmalade, or whole fruit jams in strawberry, peach, current, or triple berry? Again, my question, but I am always up for marmalade or pretty much any fruity jam. 

 

40.  For decor what general Halloween style is preferred? Traditional, cute spooky, dark and gothic, horror, etc? More descriptive the better!!

I think I covered this in my original questionnaire, but I definitely like dark/gothic, traditional in the sense of spooky Victoriana, skulls and the like. Nothing too cutesy or explicit horror on either end and no country pumpkin sort of stuff.

41.  (please read in thread as it's rather long)  Are you interested in anything from Solstice Scents? https://www.solsticescents.com

No thanks.
