Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween Update?

Basic Witch, October Road, or Spooky Season soaps!

 

Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com)

I could actually use socks! I like ankle/crew length, and love all of these:

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/) 

I do not see a tea here I would be mad about receiving; absolutely yes.

 

Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update? 

Dead Leaves on the Dirty Ground sounds so nice (anything in that scent!)

 

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

The sugar scrubs or bubbling scrubs in Persephone's Descent or Red Roan would be divine.

 

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 do like Dead Leaves, and the Dead Leaves and Apple Pie sounds really nice! Also always enjoy Samhains. Nothing else is really screaming out from the list at the moment.

 

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

Very in favor, adorable, I love! I have a bunch of cute pink Halloween cat things already.

 

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?

SLIPPERS! Those sound so incredible. All of this just sounds really lovely.

 

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

I do! Here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/Z9L2NMPLAXRP?ref_=wl_share

 

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

No BUT I would absolutely put Halloween ornaments on my Christmas tree.

 

Do you have an Etsy wishlist?

Yes! Here: https://www.etsy.com/people/thesaturnine?ref=hdr-fav&tab=items

(Note: retromarlene is my mom's store! I favorite all of her stuff on pain of lecture, so you can ignore those :P.)

 

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

None of those are really screaming out to me!

 

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.

No thank you!

 

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

If you have any imps of TALs kicking around I always love trying those, or any beeswax candles (I like the ones from Nui Cobalt very much). Anything for staying centered and focused and calm. I have a fair number of crystals, but any small stones are always welcome.

 

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).

150% yes! I love owls (and Athena), cats (and Sekhmet), and crows (and the Morrigan). Really no restrictions, go wild.

 

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 love the sounds of:

-  SANG-DE-BOEUF DRAGON

-  FLAME-OF-BURNT-BRANDY DRAGON

- GAMBOGE DRAGON (ATMO SPRAY)

- DEAD LEAVES AND APPLE PIE 

 

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

Stationary! Especially cute greeting cards and pens... any Chococat stuff (he's really hard to find over here now for some reason?)

 

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

!!! yes!!!


- 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/ etcetc

No thank you! But they are very cute.

 

- Snorg tees 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.

website is snorgtees.com

How have I missed this website??? Only three?! Dying. Size small, any color!

https://www.snorgtees.com/products/existing-solely-out-of-spite-womens-signature-tee?variant=41625742639236

https://www.snorgtees.com/products/bat-and-robin-womens-signature-tee?variant=41577194913924

 

- BloomChic has some pretty fun plus and smaller size halloween fashions. If you so desire, give me your top 3 favs with sizes! website is bloomchic.com

Nothing jumps out!

 

I like making little flower arrangements with fake flowers; would you be interested in a mini bouquet? If so, any seasonal/color scheme requests?

Sure thing, me! I like purples and oranges together, maybe something autumnal.

 

Feelings on candles/wax melts?

No thank you to candles; wax melts are okay!

 

Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas?

Sure!

 

Australian goodies: 

Tim Tams!!! I am not hip to Australian stuff otherwise but I always like little knick knacks from other places.

 

I have a wonderful coffee roaster near me, wood-roasted, small batch, regular and decaf, all roast types. IF this sounds good, whats your coffee desire, and beans or grind size? I would also send a sticker from them, so also include your favorite old 70's-80's cartoons or fandoms:

Love coffee, and medium or espresso grind works well (I have a drip machine and an espresso machine) -- no decaf, and I like light to medium roasts.

 

Hand-knit socks, a hat, a cowl, arm warmers, or a shawlette for your neck and shoulders?

I would love! Especially socks or a cowl. 

 

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? 

Oh gosh... probably a flowy handkerchief hem skirt/dress. I had one when I was a teen and have been getting nostalgic with all the clothes from my middle and high-school years roaring back into stores at the moment.

 

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?

I don't use them, but that looks like a really neat store and the dumpster fire patch made me cackle!

 

Ren Fest schtuff: 

Nothing I can think of... I enjoy medieval weaponry and depictions thereof, if there are any silly earrings or keychains along those lines.

 

Snag tights have released their Halloween lines. Is there anything there that tempts you?

Not particularly, no!

 

What is your size in say Tshirts?  Pajamas?

Small/2 for both!

 

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

Anything with black cats is always welcome.

 

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?  Of course it would be in your last box, so I don't give my identity away....

Would love that, it sounds amazing!

 

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.

A folio (I too like vintage style things) actually sounds amazing -- I have a lot of journals and notebooks I've yet to touch, so I think I'm pretty good there!

 

Is there anything you'd like from Lush?

Breath of God or Lust solid perfume.

 

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."
I definitely do not need knitting needles or crochet hooks, after a recent inventory-taking! 

 

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

Romance is not my bag, nor is self-help stuff. 

 

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

This is such a lovely idea! I generally enjoy supporting charities that protect wildlife, bodily autonomy, and digital privacy. If there's one that's very close to your heart I'd be honored, too.

 

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:

I had to search up Penuche but THAT. It all sounds pretty lovely. I'm not the biggest candy person anymore, but I do love fudge in moderation. I just don't like dark chocolate, and have an Unfortunate Banana Allergy. Special orders? Maybe something with honey and white chocolate....

 

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

Yes, a lot of it!

A World of My Own

Counterspell

Elven Mist

Druid's Dream

Ghost in the Machine

Kitsune's Favor

 

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?

No thank you! We get quite the haul from our neighbors each year.

 

Poesie Tea - what would you like? website is poesieperfume.com

(wooo their website font is pretty)

Chestnut, London Smoke and Fog, Olympus, and Relevé all sound great!

 

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?

Noooo vegemite -- someone once tricked me into trying it and I am still scarred!! Spice blends or snacks, absolutely.  I don't like dark chocolate but am fine with milk or white.

 

Erstwilder? 

Okay, these are all very up my alley!!! Especially the hair clips ❤️ Absolutely love the owl and possum, and any of the insects. I probably wouldn't wear the super Halloween themed stuff.

 

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

No thanks! Our neighbors have a peach tree which has frankly gone insane this year so we are peached out.

 

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)

No thank you! I do like bracelets, but wouldn't wear these. (I have two small chain 'forever' bracelets I don't take off, and I don't usually wear others.)

 

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

OOH Buttons!! I have a couple of sweaters and cardigans planned that I could really use nice buttons or toggles for -- I do like vintage buttons if you find any kicking around a thrift store. Nothing too teeny tiny.

 

Do you like plushies, like Squishables?

I don't, but my children sure do!

 

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 love caramels!

 

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

Absolutely!

 

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

Also yes!

 

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

We could use some rain. (But seriously, I always enjoy coffee, and fridge magnets from different places)

 

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

Moon Rocks or NutterButter Pretzel look delicious!

 

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've got one not too far away so I will pass (but also, thank you for the heads up on FALL STUFF DROPPING!)

 

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

Not really my style, no thank you!

 

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 wish I was a planner person. I want to be a planner person. I have acquired planner supplies and yet I have so many bullet journals with only one page filled out sneering at me on my bookshelf. So I will pass, knowing that I cannot be trusted.

 

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

Cute, I could go for a pair of flared leggings in general for sure, though I don't love these prints -- I think the moons and bats is the only one that I'd go for!

 

Anything from: https://www.etsy.com/shop/khallion  or anything from https://ateliercoco-store.com/en-au:

No thank you!

 

Halloween 2025 – Witch Baby Soap

The tumbled spiderweb jasper is beautiful! Any of the scrubs sound nice, too.

 

Moonalisa:

Nothing jumps out!

 

Tattoo passes:

I don't see myself getting any more soon, so not for me, but this is a neat idea!

 

https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-tag/september-2025-lunacy/

Black Butterfly Moon: Vanilla and Tobacco Flower Perfume Oil or Black Butterfly Moon: Vanilla-Infused Frankincense and Raspberry Perfume Oil sound amazing!

 

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!

AHH a Union Jack anything, a Cadbury Wispa bar, or orange marmalade ❤️

 

Witchee, would you be interested in a kit to make something yourself?  Like a kit to dye your own scarf, or make beeswax candles, or make a small embroidered ornament, etc.?  Would you like to receive such a kit, or do you not have the time/inclination for it?

I have so many kits! I think anything that's low-mess is fine, though (an embroidered ornament sounds lovely, for instance; I probably wouldn't use a dye or wax kit for a long time since I have tiny goblins who are always up in my business.)

 

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.

Cookies would be okay -- I'm a little sensitive to food expiration stuff, so anything that keeps well (candy/harder cookies) is okay if marked with the date they were made.

 

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.

Any of these except fennel sound lovely.

 

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. 

Love flowers/leaves/little spiders!!

 

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

Good Queen Mallow, Tulsi di Leche, Caramel Apple, Warm Heart

 

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.

Light or medium roast, ground (regular or espresso works). Otherwise I'm happy to try new stuff and absolutely love coffee. 

 

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? 

Any garland-y things would be welcome!

 

Would you like some organic catnip from my parents garden?

No thank you! They get a little too wild with it, and then we have to keep them separate from the kids until they chill out, so we're abstaining until everyone can handle themselves a little better, lol.

 

Bentonite / cocoa butter?

For sure! I use powdered bentonite and kaolin every month or so for a mask.

 

Weenies?

Dead leaves and skin musk

Autumn Overlooked my Knitting

Batty Lace
