Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween update?

 I had not heard of this company until now, but Basic Witch, Graveyard Smash, Once Bitten, and Zombie Repellent all sound really good.

 

Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com)
The Longer Ringmaster Stripes in Buggy D. Burgundy, the Oops! Gossamer Stripes in Daffodil, and the Longer Extraordinary Thigh Highs in Spice, Teal, Lilac, and Forest all look good.
 

I live in France, and we have some great tea here! Most folks know about Mariage Freres but may I suggest Damman Freres? Here's the link- they're still in summer mode, but I assure you, autumnal teas will grace their pages soon! (https://www.dammann.fr/en/) 

There are too many teas on here that sound exceptionally good!

I'd love to try Bali, poire marron glace, blanc d'oranger, the des trois fleurs,maybe earl grey mandarin

 

Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update?  New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks

No, but I would be interested in sniffing Jack-of-the-Woods, Phantasma, and the Grey Hound.

 

Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1)

Most of those sound amazing.  I'd love to sniff Apple Milk, Autumn Bouquet, Blood Orange Marshmallow, Cozy Apple, and Little Hedgehog.

Also, I know we have barely scratched the surface in knowing what the Lab will release for Weenies, but a wishlist couldn't hurt, so what'll it be?

I don't have any idea... I suppose if there are literary vampire scents like they had forever ago, or a favorite gets rezzed/turned into gloss?

 

How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out?

The peach, mint, lilac, and light teal I could totally work into my decor.  Also, I've been seeing a couple of things in 90s acid green that I would 100% be incorporating with what I already have-- if that counts as a pastel?

  So, while a completely girly pastel Halloween look doesn't really speak to me, the colors could definitely work with a lot of what I already have, since most of those are either dark or the vibrant variations of the pastel colors.  Dark Rainbow Halloween!

 

 

I'm  one of those crafty sorts that make things.  I make things by up cycling sweaters, for example - mittens, slippers, armwarmers (both solid or striped from multiple fabrics ).  Could also make a tea cosy with a mat.  I make bowls, mats & vessels from rope that I wrap with pretty cloth.  So essentially, functional, useful fiberart.  What might you like?  Long striped armwarmers? A pair of slippers, decadently lined in cashmere?

 Your craft sounds amazing. The only thing I might not get the most use of is slippers (though they sound luxurious).

 

do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't  duplicate a book?

I do.  It is linked in the blog that is linked in my sig.. I don't keep a good eye on what format I save the books to the wishlist in, though. I apologize.  Basically, if it's a novel/one-time read thing, digital is great.  If it's reference or a picture book, I prefer physical. And I am a huge fan of used books.  I also have a Thriftbooks list that I can share in that blog.

 

Do you have a Halloween Tree?  Do you need ornaments?

I do.  I don't *need* ornaments.  But I would always love some.

 

Do you have an Etsy wishlist?

I do, linked in the wishlist blog in sig.. However, it is a bit outdated, and mostly full of plants and seeds.  It is a good reference for aesthetic, though.

 

As of this writing, Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist?

They all sound amazing, but peach on my skin usually dies a skanktaculous death.  I would be happy to try a sample of honeyed peach incense, though-- or any of the gloss or atmo. sprays.

I am a bit known for my extremely light-weight hand crafted hair falls (I typically make them out of a combination of yarns, batting, and bits of up cycled silks and lace). Would you like one (for a pony tail effect) or two (for a pigtail effect)? If so, name two or three colors and any allergies to fibers I should know about.

Those sound awesome. I'd enjoy either a pony or pigtails. watery blue, green or bright purple?  Or any of the colors listed on my questionnaire, really. No fiber allergies, thank goodness.

 

Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)?

Ooo, always into shiny things, herbs, and oils.  I have a now-and-then subscription to the Witches Moon.  As to purpose, peace and protection of the home, healing, stress relief, general cleansing (my go-to is usually frankincense/mint or adding a combo of some kind of citrus and clove/cinnamon).  Always interested in good essential oils, natural-type incense, and seeds for growing my own herbs.

Kind of witchy adjacent, but I finally bought one of those mesh herb drying bags that hangs, and the amount of rosemary (and hopefully catnip) I will be drying in the next few weeks is going to be pretty spectacular. I'm very excited. Finally a useful bonus to it being and actual oven outside.

 

Would you be interested in custom artwork, such as a painting? If so, what mood, theme, colors, style, etc. would you be excited to see? If there's a dream, a dnd character, a favorite fairy tale, deity, etc. you'd love it to capture, spill those deets - including anything you wouldn't want (nudity, size restrictions, whatnot).

Yes, I would.  You know those pictures taken looking up at the sun from the bottom of a kelp bed?  That mood. A fairytale forest(deciduous), or plants, or botanical illustration, or fairies or mermaids, etc., cute animals...I don't know.  I love seeing other people's creativity.  I'm just maybe not as drawn to things that are very inorganic or structural, or hard abstract lines.

 

Welp, the list of what will fully be available over the Dragon Con weekend (and a preview of Weenies!) is now available! I already asked the Peach Pit question, but now there's heaps more, so gimme your wishlist!!!   

I'd love to try any of these dragons:

Bastard-Amber

Caput Mortuum

Chartreuse

Melichrous

Puce

Sang-de-Boeuf

Coquelicot

Gamboge

 

 

 

I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here?

Yuzu and black sesame things, seaweed caramels, warabimochi, a good, mellow sencha? Kimono fabric scraps? I apologize.  My mind seemed to be occupied with snacks right now.

 

I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries? 

That sounds so cool! I hope you had a great time.  I like souvenirs from places-- especially if it's a craft or component that is special to that place.

 

I make custom ita rosettes/cases (pics here to explain what I mean https://tinyurl.com/mwtwmvfm. Is that something you might be interested in? If so, what type/colors/size/etc. etc.

Those are lovely. A small rosette would not go unloved. In fact, it would probably go on my substitute bag so the kids could admire it.

 

Snorg tees (http://snorgtees.com) has some hilarious and awesome new shirts. They are also reasonably priced. Please give me 3 of your fav designs and tee size/color if available for a color option.

Well, that was ten minutes and five pages of laughing until my back hurt. Thank you. That sight is *awesome*.  I own some of those already, but out of the tens of ones I don't, a couple I like are "People don't like when sentences don't end the way they potato" in heather mauve, and "Un Deux Trois Cat" in heather blue lagoon because I could wear them to work, and the kids would probably enjoy them, too.  I also love "No my ducks are certainly not in a row", but I already have the squirrels at a rave version of that...  Size would most likely be women's signature tee in XL.

 

BloomChic (http://bloomchic.com)has some pretty fun plus and smaller size halloween fashions. If you so desire, give me your top 3 favs with sizes! 

Nooo, why does everyone have such good links?!  Okay, the grey bat or the cat night print pullover in maybe a 2x/3x (so it can be a bit oversize), the stretchy plaid contrast splicing midi dress in 12 or 14, the pumpkin cat hooded midi dress 12or14,... that velvet flutter sleeve midi dress, also.   There are sooo many cute things on that sight!

 

I like making little flower arrangements with fake flowers; would you be interested in a mini bouquet (think, something that would fit in a bud vase)? If so, any seasonal/color scheme requests?

That sounds so cute! I'd love an autumnal arrangement, in say different oranges and greens with a bit of dark red or berry purple.

 

Feelings on candles/wax melts?

I like candles.  I like how wax melts smell, but I need to get a new cup warmer thing

 

Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests?

I love crochet things.  Blue-green with yellow? I don't know, let your art decide.  I know it will be gorgeous.

 

Jumping in as *I think* the only Australian, is there anything specifically Australian you might like? I think Tim Tams are probably the most commonly coveted/procured goodie I could offer. 
No, thank you, on Tim Tams.  I would love dried midgen/midyim berries, or berry seeds, or any other cool seeds.  I don't know what the logistics of that would be, though.  Given that both Australia and California are notorious for not wanting biological items shipped to them (which is understandable).

 

I also have a local tea blender just down the street from me if there is anything from there you might like to try https://teahouse-the-tea-specialty-shop.myshopify.com/

I love tea.  Marco Oriental, Copenhagen, French Earl Grey, and I am very curious about the Australian Daintree.

 

I have a wonderful coffee roaster near me, wood-roasted, small batch, regular and decaf, all roast types. It's so good, I won't buy coffee anywhere else, and I only drink dark roast decaf. IF this sounds good, whats your coffee desire, and beans or grind size?  They are also a FULLY geeked out space with every video and arcade game known. so I would also send a sticker from them, so also include your favorite old 70's-80's cartoons or fandoms.

Decaf!!! Woo!  Finding good decaf is ridonculously difficult.  If they have a full-bodied, nuanced, dark or medium roast that would pair well with cream and sugar, please yes; super fine ground or whole bean. If they somehow also do flavored, I would love  a raspberry or eggnog, if they had any.

 Old school Zelda/Link, or Mario 2-- or, if they have old computer games, King's Quest, Quest for Glory, Kyrandia, or The Seventh Guest.  There's also this space camel game from Commodore 64. Fandoms... Sailor Moon? Eighties things with Muppet-type creatures.  Thundercats! M.A.S.K., Transformers (old school Bumblebee, FTW), Inspector Gadget,  You Can't Do That on Television,

 

I’m dying to knit my Witchee something lovely, as long as it would be appreciated.  I can’t commit to a big project in the time frame, but socks, a hat, a cowl, arm warmers, or a shawlette for your neck and shoulders could definitely be doable if that would be enjoyed. Just let me know colour preferences, or fibre preferences/allergies. 

I would love anything knitted.  Even if I did not use it, I would stare at it, and admire your craftsmanship.  No fibre allergies that I know of.  I love the feel of bamboo yarn, if that's a fiber preference?  But I'm really not particular, so long as it isn't scratchy or sticky.

 

I sew clothing and costume, if you could have any garment made just for you what would it be and what would it look like? You can include reference links/images or just describe it. 

My Pinterest board has loads of gorgeous clothes on there.  I'd love anything like that.  But I would also need to get myself onto some kind of food/exercise regime, but my shape right now is not conducive to wearing nice things.

 

Do you enjoy stim toys or other fidgety items? I work near an amazing store called Madam Clutterbuckets Neurodiverse Universe that caters to neurodivergents as well as employing entirely Neurodiverse staff and supporting lots of ND and disabled artists. I live buying stickers, patches, art fidgets and kicknacks. Would you be interested in anything? Website is here but there's way more in store: https://www.madamclutterbuckets.com/

That is so cool. I like the Diversity Makes America Great (though, not really the colorway?), and the Some Days Suck... Hang in there. Also Talk about Mental Health and Dyslexics of the World Untie-- because I read it wrong/right, and was really confused why Dyslexia was getting a union for about half a minute.

Fidget things I like are the infinity thing like cubes, Mobii, and that one that look like a donut and you can turns inside out forever.

 

What is your size in say Tshirts?  Pajamas?

women's XL, same in pajamas, I'd think.  Or maybe 1x for the bottoms? I like to have room.

 

Do you like Halloween socks?  Any particular style or image/character?

Yes. I like anklets and whatever the small cuffed ones are called; also knee highs and thigh highs.  images bats and cats, or plant things, hedgehogs

 

I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters-Lily Clara series.  It's a story told through beautifully illustrated letters, pictures, diagrams, post cards etc. One snail mail letter at a time.   This one is a story of a entreprenurial woman during the silver rush in the West and a bit of a mystery.  The letters and details are gorgeous.  I've finished reading it, would you like me to pass it along to you, witchee? 

That sounds really interesting.  Maybe? 

 

I make junk journals and paper crafts.  I would probably have time to make a mini journal or a paper folio type thing.  It would come decorated but with space to write and add your own touch or I could make a folio complete with address labels, stationery, stamps etc. to organize your writing goods.  Would you like to receive one?  My style is generally vintage but I could also do a Halloween one, winter holiday one, shabby chic or something of your suggestion.

I love journals.

 

Snag tights have released their Halloween lines.  Is there anything there that tempts you?  https://snagtights.com/collections/halloween

Some of those are so cute, but I will have to pass.  I destroy tights (except dance tights, whatever those are made of is hardcore). Probably way TMI, but I tend to stick to leggings because my claws and calluses shred delicate nylon (I trim and buff, I swear).

 

Is there anything you'd like from Lush? I will link to their US site, but obviously different countries have different versions. https://www.lush.com/us/en_us

The Palm Reader massage bar and the soothing shell soap sound great.  I'd love to smell the harvest moon scent or the mango lassi.  I just can't use a lot of their stuff because it contains SLS, and busting out in welts is not my favorite thing.   My favorite product of theirs, ever, was the Emperor of Ice Cream buttercream.  That was one of my favorite smells on  skincare product, ever, hands down.

 

I will be placing my Dragon Con / Black Moon order *tonight* (8/31/25) -- PLEASE mention now *anything* you would like to receive from this or any recent updates so I can add it to my order! This will be the ONLY chance to get something from the Lab with enough time to receive it and send it on to you!!!
I posted this in thread, and now I don't remember, update to follow...

I go to Disneyland Paris a few times a month as I have a pass- is there anything I can get for you? There are exclusive enamel Trader Pins, for instance. Of course, all the other types of goodies as well.

No, thank you.

 

Want any of the DragonCon Claw Polish?

Realistically, probably not. I am on a magical roll of breaking all my nails right now. There are some gorgeous ones, though.

 

I have a Daiso opening near me next weekend.  I'm going to the Grand Opening.  Is there anything you want me to be on the lookout for?

I can't think of anything specific.  If you happen to see any cute stationary or tiny sauce dishes that you think I might like, that would be cool.  Daiso is super fun.  Hope you have an amazing time!

 

I'll be placing a Nocturne Alchemy order asap, anything from the Halloween update catch your attention? (https://nocturnealchemy.com/collections/limited-collection/products/new-halloween-limited-2025?variant=47186703188182 )

Blue Violet Vanilla 07, Yellow Vanilla 08, Red Orange Vanilla 09, Red Pine Amber Incense, Spellbound.  However, I have barely ever dipped a toe into Nocturne Alchemy (mostly thanks to a couple of amazing BPALers years ago-- and I placed an order once with Kashmir, and something Moonlight?  I think I that I quite liked Princess Amber, too), so if you have rec.s I would be totally open.

 

Would you be interested in a handwritten journal, filled with things about some of your favorite things, birthday lore, recipes, pretty pictures, stories, quotes, etc.?

I make these, and I would love to see what others choose to put into the books.

 

Is there anything you absolutely DO NOT want, that hasn't come up elsewhere?  This could be anything from "please, no more plush unicorns, I am drowning!" to "I have trypophobia."

Nothing super gore, I hate maggots on a deep, personal vendetta level (even while recognizing their importance in the food web).  I can't think of anything that will squick me out super badly, but those will make me upset.  I am on my way to being the hoarder goblin from the end of Labyrinth, so I'm not going to refuse anything you are kind enough to give me-- even if I have a lot of it, already.  

 

If I were to send you a physical book, are there any genres/themes/authors you'd prefer not to encounter?

I don't read Westerns or bodice rippers,  I will DNF a book with non-con, constant gore, or torture (I stopped reading the Witcher series, and have no intention of ever picking up A Song of Ice and Fire-- or watching either show). Animal Cruelty or animal death better have some strong tie to plot and some very explicit and final retribution written in-- but I would prefer to just avoid it, in general.

 

Is there a charity you would like me to donate to in your name?

This is awesome! You do not even need to donate in my name.  Just the thought of someone helping the helpers would make me so happy; Black Cat Holistic Rescue of Los Angeles,  Bat World, L.A. Bat Rescue,  or other marine(like aquatic), animal, or nature saving organization-- but please do NOT donate to PETA on my behalf.  I have strong feelings about that organization, and they are not positive.

 

If I could make you my fudge (not currently selling it, btw, but willing to make for SW witching, nacho witching, etc!), which of these flavors makes you drool :

Chocolate & Peanut butter, white chocolate berry, plain chocolate with or without nuts, Old fashioned penuche with or without nuts, peanut butter fudge, Chocolate with montmorency cherries, pumpkin pie fudge. Also possibly taking special flavor requests.

 We do make fudge here, but I have heard a *lot* of positive sparkle about Greenwoodtree's AMAZING fudge, and would be happy to try it, if you wanted to send some-- if it ever cools off over here.  Let's just say that it would be a definite death sentence for the fudge-- and possibly the mail box-- if it was sent anytime for probably the next month.

Still, Penuche with nuts (walnuts? pecans?  What kind of nuts???) and peanut butter chocolate both sound delicious.

 

anything from Dryad teas pique your interest?  https://dryadtea.com/collections/all-tea

That is a lot of delicious-sounding tea.  I'd love to try samples. Some that sprang out were Elven Mist Casimira, Bardsong, and Autumnal Fae.  I did not go through the whole lists, though. If you think I might like it, I'd probably be up to try it-- unless it is rooibos. Rooibos is not my thing.

 

I do canning and make lots of tasty condiments.  Would you like to try some?  Give me some flavor ideas.  How do you feel about peach?  Rhubarb? Tomato?  Spicy or sweet?  Spicy and sweet?

I love peach, and rhubarb. Spicy(medium), sweet, or spicy/sweet

 

Poesie Tea - what would you like?  poesieperfume.com

Cozy Chestnut and Ooh La La sound yummy.

 

Would you enjoy overtly Australian things in your gift? Like indigenous spice blends, or Vegemite, I already mentioned Tim Tams, but there are lots of other fun things I could send. Also, if I were to include chocolate in your gift, would it be milk, dark, or white? Or is all chocolate good chocolate? 

Spice blends sound stellar.  Vegemite and Tim Tams, no thank you.  If you think something is fun, I'm sure it's amazing, and I would probably enjoy it. Most chocolate is good chocolate-- except Hershey's (not the subsidiaries[?] like Reese's and all, which are delicious, but actual Hershey's chocolate bars. Hard pass).

 

Is there anything here that appeals?   https://www.erstwilder.com/

They are cute, but no, thank you.  I did not see that they had fruit bats, and flowers.  Frankie and Finn, the golden wattle, bottlebrush, and Penny Possum are super cute, and I am just a sucker for lucky dip anything, because I love surprises. The tiny rosemary and itty bitty poppy are also adorable.  I am really confused how I missed all the different pins, and thought it was only Halloween items...

 

Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach jam?

Yes.

 

Do you like bracelets?   Can you wear soft stretchy polyester ones, like zox?  (zox.co)   If so, what size would you prefer?   (s / m / l)

Those look cool.  Size M, probably.  For styles, I liked Stardust, Poppies of Hope, and Continue-- maybe Selenophile.

 

Do you need any supplies or notions for any of your hobbies?

Probably not *need*, but always appreciate.

 

Do you like plushies, like Squishables?

I like plushies. Squishables are cute, but I'm not sure I would give enough love to any of those.

 

Do you like caramels?   We have a local caramel maker who vends at our farmers markets.  Any of these flavors sound good?  https://jonboycaramels.com/collections/buy

I do like caramels.  The Balsamic Berry sounds very intriguing.

 

My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample?

Yes.  Also, that is so cool!

 

We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either?

Rose petal liqueur sounds fantastic.

 

Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like?  

Your coastline is gorgeous. I'd love a beach pic.

 

Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates?  Which flavors?  https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars? 

Sure. Hungry Blackberry, Pike's Place Espresso and Mexican Hot Chocolate sound great.

 

Trader Joes is getting their seasonal things in.  If you don't have a TJ's by you, is there anything you want?  https://www.traderjoes.com/home/discover/stories/fall-products-2025 

 I *do* have a Trader Joe's nearish me, and I get there at least once a month.  But I would not refuse Trader Joe's Goodies. That would be silly.  Plus, certain things are available at some TJ's but not others.  So feel free to send me the goodies.

   Most of the pumpkin offerings that are shippable are not things I can have, since they outright state they've got Allspice, or they say "spices", and I am not about that kind of surprise in my life right now.  I will always take more cardamom vanilla cold brew (but it's heavy and I do fully intend to stock up while it's there), furikake, their vanilla paste, black garlic, their little seasonal candle trio with the pear something, vanilla something, and falling leaves smell delicious, and I would happily take lemon olive oil if yours still has it-- I have used ours up, and it was seasonal.  Fearless Flyer said there are apple gummies, but not at ours yet.

 

Wyrding Studios just posted a new update. Do any of these appeal to you, witchee?  https://wyrdingstudios.com/collections/in-the-waiting-woods 

The vintage orange glass bead bracelet/bangle looks really pretty.

 

Tis the season for planner people. Are you one? If so what is your planner poison of choice and do you need/want supplies and if so, what type do you want?

I want to be a planner person.  I have tried to be a planner person.  I do well when things are going okay, but drop it when the clusterbomb of FUBAR invariably splooshes.  Maybe I don't really want to be a planner person, but I just really like the stickers, pens, and the pretty pictures at the beginning of each month?  I've done Happy Planner, and those spiral bound academic planners for school.  I also occasionally try to plan my reading...

 

Do you feel like you need some leggings, dearest witchee?  https://shopnatopia.com/collections/halloween-25 

I feel like I could always use some leggings.  The moonlit bats an the spiderweb bell bottoms are cute.

 

Dearest Witchee, I'll be in London shortly- anything specifically British you'd enjoy? This could be marmalade or tea or Marmite or gothy clothing or a Union Jack something or other. Literally anything- name it!

Tesco Blackberry Nettle infusion.  Yes, that is very specific.  In a magical world, also the mixed fruit trifle.

 

Do you prefer things to be individually wrapped so you can open them when you need a boost, or is putting them in one box unwrapped okay?

It is whatever works best for you.  If you love to wrap, I will appreciate your artistry. If you are, like, "aw, hellnah" I will happily root around in unwrapped goodies.

 

I’m about to make myself an order here, and was wondering if anything might also appeal to you, dearest of witchee’s   https://www.etsy.com/shop/khallion

I gave a fairly coherent answer in "This is Halloween", so I will add it here:

She has so many awesome things!  Okay, just out of nowhere, Sebastian with the bandana over his face "the human world is a mess."  Yes, it is, Sebastian.  Yes, it is. Light(Galadriel),  Free (Harriet Tubman), An Impromptu Surprise the postcard or sticker(the faces on the pin don't show well), You Have no Power over Me, Don't Panic, Orca-nize,  Spoilers (it makes me teary, though--so maybe not).  I could go for more, but it would be a loooong list.

 

Dearest witchee, is there anything here that catches your eye?  https://ateliercoco-store.com/en-au

  The calavera matryoshka are a cute mashup, but I'm not sure I would wear any of those items.

 

Interested in any of these?   Halloween 2025 – Witch Baby Soap  or here  MoonaLisa: A Supernatural Clean

The Ghost Girl and Sunspell scents sound good, but I'm at a loss as to products.  I don't think I've tried either company.

 

There are artists that sell tattoo passes, so that you can legitimately have their work tattooed. Is there anyone that you would potentially like such a pass for?

I am inkless, but such a cool idea.

 

Obvious question of whether you would like anything from the new Lunacy update (Black Butterfly Moon, etc.)? https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-tag/september-2025-lunacy/

Vanilla-Infused Frankincense and raspberry, Black Orchid and Black Berries (so long as it does not smell like Tom Ford Black Orchid, because that is quite heinous on me), Strangled on Midsummer's Eve, and The Burning Light.

 

I love baking but due to my allergies, I only work with gluten and dairy free ingredients these days. While you may not have these issues, is there a baked good you would love receiving even if it is gluten and dairy free? I also only use honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar, but I'm happy to use monk fruit if you'd prefer/need.

I love baked goods, and have no qualms about them being gluten/dairy-free. Out of those sweeteners, I would most prefer honey, but I'm not dead set against either of the other ones, if that's what you want/need to use. 

 

 

I grow a wide variety of herbs, are there any you need for your pantry? I have mugwort (which I can prepare for tea/spice use, bath use or smudge), thyme, winter savory, sage, various mints, rosemary, fennel (leaf and seed), and I'm certain I am forgetting somethings so feel free to ask.

I'd love any of the various mints, or whatever you think I'd like.

 

 

I do basic embroidery. Is there a simple design or motif you might like? Like bats, spiders, spooky flowers, pumpkins or other such? This will come either in a hoop frame or on a finished hoop (the back is gathered and covered with cardboard) unless you have other needs like an embroidered ribbon or handkerchief. 

I love bats, and plants, or a moon and stars. Embroidery is awesome.

 

and another tea question, is there anything here you might like https://www.fridaytea.com/ ?

I will try to remember to check this out when I'm home from work, and get back to you.

 

 

for coffee, whole bean or ground and any particular flavor notes you like? Any roasting preferences? Yes I live in coffee snob land and these are real questions.

Depending on the quantity, probably either whole bean or super fine grind. Dark berries, full body, caramelly, nutty, or citrus notes?

 Probably medium roast-- unless you have a dark roast you really like. I habe poor luck with light and dark roast, rarely finding something I love. Light roast tends to be nearly flavorless, and dark roast often comes to me as road tar or battery acid.

Maybe it's my taste buds, and not the coffee... but I had an amazing dark roast black sesame ein spanner once, and it was glorious.

 

 

 

 

Would you be interested in Halloween playing cards (bicycle brand) or a large Halloween puzzle?

No, thank you.

 

 

I am also paring down a huge Halloween decor collection is there anything you'd like to inherit? 

Bats or spooky plants?

 

 

Would you like some organic catnip from my parents garden?

Definitely, yes. Mine got fried in a recent UV blast (I think I actually lost a plant), and is currently regrowing.

 

9/29

 

Would you be interested in receiving cocoa butter or bentonite clay? 

No, thank you.

 

9/30

 

So of course, new question since the Weenies just dropped -  what has caught your nose from the full list?

As much as I would like to say "every single bat," the ones that sound most like I would love them are Batty Lace, In Night When Colors All to black are Cast, and Air and Sunshine Galore.
