Copied this question from my Switch Witch-My Witchee doesn't seem to be interested, but might my Pumpkin like the following?

I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters. It's a story told through beautifully illustrated letters, pictures, diagrams, post cards etc. One snail mail letter at a time.   The letters and details are gorgeous.  I've finished reading it, would you like me to pass it along to you?

No thank you.   

 

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.

Ooooh.   I would love to receive one!   I would love a theme of spooky with bats, crows, skulls, cats, dead trees -- but not halloween necessarily as no pumpkins or witches or ghosts or whatnot.  I'm not sure if I would prefer a folio or a journal; I was looking at journals last night on etsy and added a bunch to my favorites (but I think that is private.)  I might have added some to my stationery list on there.  I was thinking wedding guestbook sort of journal (so at least 9x11 and doesn't need too many pages, certainly not 400!)

 

9/4

 

Anything from Haus of Gloi's fall collection https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1 ?

scents:  Blood Orange Marshmallow, Ghost Puffs 

mediums:  fall soy wax tarts, candles, refresher spray, sugar exfoliants

 

Are there any creatures, autumnal or not, real or mythological, that you feel a strong connection to?

Anything equine.  Bats, rats, canines, ferrets.  I love sea dragons (the real ones) and hippocampus (the mythological ones.)   I really really really miss my porcine friends (my kune kune pigs) and caprines (nigerian dwarf x nubian goaties.)

Speaking of fandom, I am going to place an order from Karen Hallion's shop soon and wondered if there's anything my pumpkin would be interested in: https://www.etsy.com/shop/khallion

There are so many on my wishlists.  Prints, postcards, stickers, maybe one pin.  (I have a bunch already from  her store.)

 

9/10

 

As many of you know, one of my baking specialties is eclectic varieties of shortbread. I think I made pumpkin lavender shortbread for someone last year, I've done spiced orange, chocolate orange, lavender peppermint (a surprising hit that I now make annually). I could do something with rose, a wide assortment of spices, citrus rinds, etc. Anything sound interesting (as an early reveal day zero gift most likely)?  

Lavender, rose, chocolate, matcha, chocolate orange clove or orange clove or chocolate orange... 

 

9/15

 

Do you burn candles / would you like to receive one?

I do not burn candles very often because of my asthma.  I still LIKE candles!   

 

Is there anything you'd like from Lush?

I love things from LUSH without SLS or parabens.  

 

Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach or (some kind of berry) jam?

Bring on the homemade canned goods!

 

Do you like plushies, like Squishables?

I do!!  I love bats, gargoyles, cemetary gravestones, equines, dragons, etc.  (Squishables gets some weird ones...)

 

Do you like caramels?   

Yes!   Especially chocolate covered.

 

My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample?   Samples are in recycled nip bottles, about 50ml - OR I could do a 5 to 12oz.

I would love mead!!

 

We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either?  Samples are in recycled nip bottles, about 50ml - OR I could do a 5 to 12oz.

My question, but if you make some kind of liqueur I would love to try it!

 

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

I live here, so I'm probably good... although I would never say no to blown glass ornaments ("Witch Balls") in iridescent purples and blues.

 

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

My favorite is the San Juan bar.  Or the JCOCO one with quinoa.    (JCOCO is their "upscale" sister/daughter/whatever company.)

 

 

Do you have a favorite kind of truffle or "candy counter" piece that you like?   (Turtles, seafoam, orange jelles, peanut butter cups, butter creams, clusters, chews, chocolate covered fruit or nuts, espresso beans, fudge, malt balls, english toffee, marzipan, rocky road, etc.)

I love chocolate covered seafoam or cinder toffee, and all kinds of caramel chews and chocolate / vanilla buttercreams.  Truffles in general with my favorite flavor profiles.  Chocolate covered or dipped fruit is good too, especially apricots, cherries, blueberries.  Turtles (made with pecans) are good!   I do not like Walnuts.

 

If you're sugar-free, do you want chocolate sweetened with maltitol or other alcohol type sweeteners?  How about stevia?  Boehm's has a selection of https://boehmscandies.com/product-category/sugar-free/.

I can do the alcohol type sweeteners but right now I'm fine with full on sugar.  

 

How many food items would be too many for your package?   If it's all different brands of chocolates from Seattle, honey, mead, liqueur, caramels, jam, etc.  is this a bad thing?   

I don't mind having a package full of consumables.  Maybe at least one little bat?

 

9/17

 

Do you need any storage for BPAL bottles or imps?

I do not.   I've been destashing a lot and now actually have EXTRA storage.

 

Is there a tarot deck calling your name?

Mine are all packed away so I can hardly remember what I have!!   I think there was an Abigail Larson one that I was interested in (but I have her Nightmare Before Christmas deck.)   And I have the Erin Morganstern deck (author of the Night Circus.)  

 

Could you please be more specific about what kinds of socks you enjoy wearing? 

I don't really enjoy wearing socks, which is why I'm mostly barefoot all the time.  If I have to wear socks inside of boots or "normal" shoes, I like wool (non scratchy.)  I'll do cotton as well if necessary, but I don't like acrylic.  

 

9/18

 

Would you be interested in any Tokidoki? https://www.tokidoki.it/ My kiddo collected for awhile and we have numerous dupes of older series that might love to tag along in your package. 

I would take equines, dogs, or suitably gothy ones (skeletons, sugar skull painted, etc.)

 

9/21

 

I'm one of those maker people.

How would you feel about a set of nice long armwarmer mitts?  I make them from thrifted sweaters.  Wearable art.  Any preferred colors? I have a new design in my sketchbook, that I'd  love to make for you.

I'd like to see the new design!     Honestly I am too hot even in the winter and I don't even wear long sleeve shirts or hoodies outside.
