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/)
Oh wow! These look terrific I will work on making a wishlist.
Do you see anything you need from the Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update?
Dead leaves on the dirty ground: bath streusel, hair and perfume oil or sorbetto; Granny Dank: glycerin soap; Pumpkin Daddy: hair and perfume oil
Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1)
Apple milk, cozy apple, cozy pumpkin, Persephone’s descent, Samhain, violet moon, Kitchen Witch, hex
Pumpkin butter, hair oil, perfume oil, soap, scrubbing bubbles or refresher spray,
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?
October!, Samhain, In the Night, Dark Macadamia, Hiss and Hearse,
How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out? .
No thanks
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 would be amazing, so would arm or leg warmers. I also love those rope bowls.
Do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't duplicate a book? Yes, please see my master wishlist linked above
Do you have a Halloween Tree? Do you need ornaments? I don’t
Do you have an Etsy wishlist? Yes, my master wish list is here: https://www.bpal.org/topic/127-wishlist/?page=136&tab=comments#comment-2854522
As of this writing, Dragon Con Peach Pit scents have been revealed! Anything on your wishlist? There are a few of the dragons that I would adore: caput mortuum, melichrous, sang-de-beouf, glacous dragon!, Coquelicot Dragon, Gamboge dragon!
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. My hair is too short, so no thank you
Do you have use for witchy supplies? Herbs, oils, crystals, etc. If so, what types and for what purpose(s)? Yes! I love crystals and anything to help make our move to the Nederlands easier would be terrific.
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). I would, something smaller that is easy to pack with my other artwork for moving would be great.
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!!! October!, Samhain, In the Night, Dark Macadamia, Hiss and Hearse,
I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? Washi tape, cute stationary or journals (I prefer size B5).
I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries? I love that sort of things. Especially if you have anything from Mongolia with horses on it
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. How neat! I sadly don’t know what I would do with one these days.
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. they don’t have tank tops and I hate t-shirts
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! It looks like I am a size L and here are the ones I think look fun:
Black or dark purple
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? Sure! Black and purple
Feelings on candles/wax melts? I am not opposed, but I don’t have a melter
Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests? Sure, black, Forest Green and purple
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. Kangaroo jerky? I’m not sure if that is possible, but I would be interested in trying that or some of the other unusual Aussie offerings. Just see my allergy list.
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/
Ooooh! Australian Daintree sounds super interesting. I am also interested in: Celebration (if the chocolate is dairy free), Golden Yunnan, French Earl Grey, Copenhagen Blend, Canobolas blend, black caramel cream (if dairy free), Marco Oriental, organic Ceylon orange pekoe, and Gooodnite Sweetheart.
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. I am tragically allergic to coffee these days. ☹
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 absolutely adore handmade things. Socks would be ahmazing!! Please use wool or other animal fiber if possible, I can’t tolerate acrylic or cotton on my feet.
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. I would loooove another pair of knee length linen bloomers with a drawstring waist. My pair is totally trash after several repairs. I just wore them out. I would love a darker color like olive green, dark coffee brown, black, navy or dark grey.
Do you enjoy stim toys or other fidgety items? I work near an amazing store called Madam Clutterbuckets Neurodiverse Universe that caters to neuroduvergents 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/: OMG! This looks fantastic! There are so many things! The gyroscope spinner, dual color clicky fidget slider, mesh and marble fidget, curved chew necklace and fliparoo cootie fidget.
What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas? Usually a large, but tanks or sleeveless only please
Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character? No thank you. I stick to socks made from animal fibers or I overheat or have sensory issues.
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 entrepreneurial 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! I would enjoy reading it.
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. That sounds interesting. I journal every night, but I prefer a size B5. Something for organizing my sticker sheets could be cool. I am also getting a fountain pen, so something to practice my writing in would be appreciated.
Snag tights have released their Halloween lines. Is there anything there that tempts you? https://snagtights.com/collections/halloween I have been wanting to try their tights for a long time. I am a size F by their chart. Styles I’d like: hallow-queen, fright night, salem, octurne, hallow-queen purple haze and crimson shadow.
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

This will be the ONLY chance to get something from the Lab with enough time to receive it and send it on to you!!!

Dragons- caput mortuum, melichrous, sang-de-beouf, glacous dragon!, Coquelicot Dragon, Gamboge dragon! Weenies- October!, Samhain, In the Night, Dark Macadamia, Hiss and Hearse,
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.

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.? that sounds fun

Is there a charity you would like me to donate to in your name?
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. If you could do it gluten and dairy free the pumpkin pie fudge or chocolate and cherry would be my picks or chocolate and almond butter.

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? With my ingredient issues, I would be hesitant with some items, but I trust you to verify. I strongly prefer dairy free dark chocolate.
Is there anything here that appeals? https://www.erstwilder.com/ the bad luck charm earrings are cute as are some of the other earrings.

Do you need any supplies or notions for any of your hobbies? I can always use more embroidery hoops, especially in the 4-6” size range.

Do you like plushies, like Squishables? I love stuffies. I prefer things like Jelly Cat or Plushy Dreadful over the Squishmallow types. I would like to try out a weighted one.

Sadly none of these are dairy free because I love caramel
My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample? Yes, but not the one with bananas
We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either? Jamie would love more for sure. I am not sure what alcohol your mom uses for extraction, so I am not sure if its safe for me.
Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like? I’m good .
Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars?

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 journal and I could use a new one. I have been wanting to try out something like Hemlock and Oak or Archer and Olive. I prefer a size B5 with lines, but I’m also interested in trying the Archer and Olive 8x8 size. I can always use washi tape and stickers, see https://thecoffeemonsterzco.com or https://yosekastationery.com/ for examples of what I like. I am also awaiting my first fountain pen, so fun ink could be cool.

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 had not seen her work before. I love the stickers: progressive witch (blue), less outrage more action, I read banned books, No Kings, cause problems on purpose, orca-nize, only ghost stories, woke witch (blue), or coloring books/pages
