1) What are your favorite colors to wear, or for warm blankets, socks, etc ?

Blue-green, dark orange, purple, green, red;

socks can be anything;

blankets, I like blues, greens, yellow, orange, purple, and plant patterns.

 

2) What sizes do you prefer for upper body and lower body clothing, feet, etc?

I would prefer to be my old sizes, since I finally had clothes that fit right.  Barring that, I am currently in the range of 10/12 ladies. However, anything fitted in the chest should be bigger-- unless it is stretchy.  I think the sizing, in inches, currently stands at 42-34-45.  I like baggy winter clothes, though, and I have the ability to take things in-- either by hand or with the cooperation of a sewing machine.  My hands and head are considered medium, I think.  My feet are size 10. I am 5'7" and a bit?

 

3) Are there types of fibers you have trouble with against your skin?

Polyester that wants you to think it's cotton. 

  Polyester knitwear, absolutely okay; polyester t-shirts, underthings, or sleepwear, no please.  It needs to have airholes or be with natural fibers, or it tries to kill me by asphyxiation of the dermis.

  Also, this is random, but I will-- occasionally-- have textural issues with things.  It even happens with some of my favorite cardigans and shirts.  I can deal with it-- like I said, it's occasional.  But, if you happen to be at Thrift Palace (or wherever, but 'Thrift Palace' is a cool name) trying to choose between two things, it might be good to err on the side of whichever one does not have tags or hard seams-- specifically on the wrists, forearms, or back of the neck. Yes, I am (more than) a bit of a freak.  But I am okay with this, and I would rather be upfront than have to lie about enjoying something. Not particularly fond of lying, absolutely suck at poker.

 

4) Wishlist links for, BPAL, Amazon, Etsy, Whichever book tracker you may use (Goodreads/LibraryThing/StoryGraph) Etc.?

There are to my BPAL, and to a blog with other wishlist links in my sig..  Etsy list has not been updated in a *while*; but it is still a good link for inspiration and aesthetic.

 

5) Would you like a small handmade faux wreath made out of thrifted floral stems? If so what colors would you enjoy?

No, thank you.

 

6) Would you like a hand painted kitty ornament? If so is there a particular kitty you would like it modeled after? Please attach a photo. 

 That sounds cute.  Just generic kitty/kitties is fine.

 

7) Also would you appreciate some organic cocoa butter?

I have a massive block (hydration FTW!), so I don't really need any, but thank you for asking.
