Anything of interest from Cellar Door? (They have candles and soaps.)
 Candle preferences are woody oud and resin

Are you into wax melts, candles, incense, room sprays, or none of the above?
 All of the above

Would you like anything from Luvmilk's Monster Mash?
 Im not sure those scents are for me
I dye yarn.  Are you a person who crafts with such?  What fiber, weights, and colors would tickle your fancy?  Would you rather have two different 100g skeins or enough of the same something for a bigger project?

YES! My stash got ruined in a flood so all my good yarn is no longer good. A pretty devastating    loss to be honest. I tend towards the soft end and like silk and bamboo blends. Colours are faily easy, jewel tones, blacks and greys. DK, sock/4 ply would get the most use, 
 
Provided my experiments work, would you be interested in a bar of homemade tallow soap?  I promise I will not send you anything particularly suspect, so this is entirely contingent upon my competence.

No thank you, I'm veggie
 
Do homemade caramels or shortbread tickle your fancy?
 Absolutely
 
9/8
 
because I’m a knitting kind of witch, would you appreciate a pair of hand knit socks. If yes, would you like them in a particular colour? 

I have very particular sock needs because my ankles are large and swell, so it might not be a good idea without serious discussions.
 
What type of spooky season imagery do you like? (Ie. bats, ghosts, vintage Halloween, etc.)
I'm a spooky bitch, I love it all. Vintage halloween less so but autumnal leaves, witches, cats, ghosts bats.. Bring it on!
 
Astrid's Autumn Line and Anniversary Tea Party just dropped.  Anything you want?  
 I tried to look this up but couldnt find what it is. 
Homemade and preserved food goodies - Which of these things would you like my dear witchie? All are organic and grown or made by me.
sun-dried heirloom tomatoes
dried ancho chile peppers - can be whole halves or ground into a delicious powder
sugar-free candied pecans and walnuts or almonds
gourmet quality fudge in many flavors (formerly from my ETSY shop which I had to close until I have my own home again) please give me an idea the kinds of flavors you like. My more popular ones are Penuche, Choc & PB, Pumpkin pie, Forest fruit (with cherries, blueberries and cranberries), Vegan chocolate
dried italian plums (pitted)
sugar-free canned plum or logan berry jam
freshly dried rosemary, thyme, basil, parsley individually or in combo
almond flour baked goods (low carb, sugar free, and gluten free) - give me examples of savory and sweet things you'd like
 

I'm nut free, and a spice wuss, so its really just the canning, dried herbs and fudge

Might you like a witch hat?  Later this month I'm  taking a class at an area museum where I'm  supposed to decorate 2 hats.  Also I crochet wicked cute witchy hats.
 
ooooh yes!
 
9/9
 
Do you see anything here that interests you?  They have dry shampoos, whipped soaps, awesome hand cream, linen spray, sugar scrubs and perfume. https://www.etsy.com/shop/faefragrance/?etsrc=sdt
 
They all sound lovely. Id be unlikely to use any perfume but everything else
 
9/10
 
Anything you want from my favorite local tea shop? www.fridaytea.com
Harvest spice, second breakfast (I'm basically a spooky punk hobbit) 
 
How about from my skincare person? drjensbeautylab.com/
 I always need hyleronic acid.
How about from my witchy Chandler? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TeresaLynnsSimpleLux
Anything within my usual scent profile (woody, oud, resin, musk) or tea preferences (black or fruit)
 
It's also that time of year where I make handmade soap (usually with calendula infused olive oil, tallow, oatmeal and honey) and candles (feel free to specify color and size, I don't usually scent them, but I do have a clover and apple scent I've been wanting to play with). I can also annoint and dress candles with TALs and herbs. Any interest?

No tallow thanks
 
I also grow herbs which can be culinary or magical. I'd be happy to prepare a smudge or dry some herbs for your enjoyment. I currently have oregano (yellow and standard), mugwort, thyme, sage (purple or garden), tea peppermint, chives, lovage, plantain, comfrey, raspberry leaf, and yarrow. I'm probably forgetting something.
Any of these in raw form would be great
 
I also make salves! My go to in an arnica, calendula and comfrey mix for healing wounds or chapped skin. This can also be used on pet paws. We do have barely enough time that I could do a custom infusion.
  I have done this in the past especially arnica, callendula and yarrow, so I'm game.
 
9/11
 
Anything in the Paintbox Soapworks Halloween update looking good to you? https://paintboxsoapworks.com/new-limited-edition/2023-weenie-collection/
 
 Again, I'm happy to try anything that fits within my smell preferences.
9/12
 
If you have a furry friend living with you, what sort of treats do they like?
 
 My beep baldur is obsessed with hairball malt paste. Like totally obsessed. Freya likes grass and Holle likes freeze dried chicken bits. They love catnip and silvervine, and like stringy toys,feather toys and toy mice.
9/13
 
 What is your feelings on seasonal mugs?  Yes or, no?  Too many in your house or bring them on?? 
 I have a million all year round halloween mugs and am always happy for more (though I've banned myself from buying myself any more)
Are your wishlists - Amazon, Etsy, etc - up to date, and if so, are they all linked somewhere that I can find them?  They should be linked in my very out of date SW help page in my sig. I cant work out how to update the sw post but the lists are up to date and extensive.. The etsy is huge and I dont expect people to go through it all, its more there as a guide for my style and likes.
 
Do you have anything you use every day that you wouldnt mind getting more of?
Things I use every day that I'd happily have more of. Fortenam and Mason royal blend tea, any cat supplies, Skincare: Pixi glow tonic, Pixi milky mist, Liz earle vanilla cleanser, the ordinary The buffet serum. Reusuable face pads, muslin face cloths.
 
Anything you love or need to have from Adagio or Rishi teas?
 I could use one of their over cup tea strainers

List here things you wish you would've added to your questionnaire 

 
9/14
 
Nocturne Alchemy just dropped their Halloween update! You like the looks of anything? https://nocturnealchemy.com/collections/limited-collection

It all seems fairly heavy on the florals so not really for me. 

Is there anything you would like from the Weenie update?
Palo santo and pachouli hair oil, a melancholy of goths 

How do you feel about stickers?  If positively, are there any themes you'd rather not have stickers of? Yes absol
 
What about crystals, cool rocks, and gemstones?
 Ethically sourced please
 
9/15
 
How do you feel about Squishmallows and Squishables? (They have mini and micro sizes for those who like cute plushies but don't have a lot of space.) Halloween ones.
 
Would you wear enamel pins with chains that are meant to be put on lapels? (Something like this.)
 yep

Speaking of enamel pins... The Pickety Witch's Autumn and Halloween collection just dropped. Has anything caught your eye? I've not looked butI do love their things.
 
I used to make mobiles out of paper cranes, would you appreciate something like this? if so, what size restrictions do you have, if any? ie., should it take up less space vertically or horizontally? color palette preference? 
 Oh gosh I have no idea.

ordering bulbs from https://oldhousegardens.com and was wondering if my witchee would like some.   
No thank you
 
Would you like something like "sock arms" if I find time to craft?  (Sometimes I make a pattern called Toast or Toasty {one has a thumb the other is just a tube} http://www.afriendtoknitwith.com/2008/09/toasttoasty.html.   here are other photos from my blog:  https://www.elkaknits.com/?p=845 )
 -- If so what sort of colors?  
No thanks
 
Witchee, what's your take on seasonal-themed Washi tape?
I love it

What about seasonal treats from Trader Joe's?
I dont know what they have

I make gluten-free biscotti this time of year, lemon and also cocoa varieties: does this sound good to you?I like the non nut ones I've tried before

Would you like me to make a music mix for you? I kick it old school with a burned CD. If you're into this, name at least 3 to 5 genres of music you already love, or are interested to explore more of!
 Awesome

Theyre all really cool

Anything you'd like from my Ren Fest?  There is an outstanding garlic based shop I'll  be going to next weekend, for my annual stock up of their spice blends & garlic oil blends.  Any other Renny stuff that you like?

Anything cooking or treat related. Im fairly well stocked on most things like that, as an occasional larper. 

know we are looking at a lot of candles, but if you are into looking at more (and it is ok to say you are not), do any of these strike your fancy?
https://www.lakewoodwax.com/candlesforacause
(Feel free to take a look at their current and signature scents too but I wanted to highlight these fundraiser scents first!)
 
Anything that fits myscent profiles is good by me.

none

f you are a person who appreciates tarot and oracle decks, do you have a strong preference about receiving new ones vs gently/barely used?

I am and have no issues with used ones, but if I'm honest I have a dozen decks and really use two of them
 
Are you a Studio Ghibli fan, and if so, what are your feelings about fan made art featuring characters? I love ghibli. Especially kiki's delivery service, howl's moving castle and sprited away
 
Want anything from LUSH? Here's the link specifically to their Halloween drop (https://www.lush.com/us/en_us/c/halloween) BUT, feel free to peruse all of it.

Part 2 of the Autumnal/Halloween drop from Haus of Gloi is coming this weekend- take a look and see if anything is compelling! https://www.hausofgloi.com  (fall part 2 is live on Sunday, here is a list of what is coming:  https://www.hausofgloi.com/blogs/haus-herald/fall-part-2)

Apple milk, hex, kitchen witch though I dont know what products because I've never tried them.

oh, interesting! Maybe! 


If you are so inclined, do you want or need any natural items or ingredients for spellwork that could be collected from forests, ocean, fields or stream?  I also have access to oak gall ink and various other esoteric substances.
Theres nothing I specifically need.

 Not really

 No

 Sure!
9/21
 
So Witchee mine, are you a spellworker? - any interest  in acorns from a tree known as The Mother Oak at my Ren Fest grounds.  It is the biggest tree I've ever seen in MI.  It is cared for by tree scientists  from MSU.  It is the mom to every other oak on the grounds.   Saturday is Mabon & I will go & gather acorns before the park opens to patrons as I do each year.  But this time it's  actual Mabon.  So Witchee dearest, would you like some?   Thank you but I have my own old oak.
 
Witchee, do you like anything from Lenny Mud?   
 No thank you
 
9/22
 
From previous questions you've answered, I know a lot about the teas you'd like from specific places, but I want to know your more general tea preferences.   Black, green, white, rooibos, oolong, herbal?
      -  Japan is particularly big on their green tea and hojicha (roasted green tea), any interest?
      -  My partner has given me an extraordinary amount of rooibos from South Africa. It's amazing and I'd like to share, so would you like some?

Black tea, berry or apple based fruit tea. I dont like white green or gunpowder.
