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.

 

😎Do you have any interest in any of the Yule products from Paintbox Soapworks? 

  Yes, definitely.  Figlet, In Dulci Jubilo, O Tannenbaum, Winter Stories (It has dead people screaming? Tell me I am not the only one who sees it).  Soaps, scrub, or lotion preferred; in that order.  Sample size is glorious, or if you want to splurge on a full size, that's fine.  I would also be happy to try Sozzled and Stretched on Your Grave (how Goth).

9) Do you have any interest in a  mystery puzzle game that can be played solo or multi-player? Usually these involve murder and a variety of logic puzzles. This would be played through, but carefully so as to allow for replay by you and yours. 

That sounds cool.

 

10) Also, shortbread in various flavors - yea or nea? I can do something gingerbready or peppermint or rose or lavender or orange or chocolate or plain or combinations thereof.

Yae, Em-'s shortbread!  It is fabulous. Rose, Orange, did someone say there was an anise???  Maybe not gingerbread or lavender, though.

Chai, or almond saffron also sound good in my head.

 

11) Lemon honey or lemon vinegar?  It would be mostly for medicinal and/or crafting purposes.  You would probably only have a little at a time.

I think I am set on this.  But other honeys/vinegars are a total 'go.'

 

12) Would you like to receive nail polish, If so what colors?

No, thank you.

 

13) How about milk chocolate? Nougat honeycomb and sea salt or brownie and salted caramel?

Sure. Nougat honeycomb, but does it come unsalted?

 

14)  In addition to your Goodreads or some indication of what you’d like to read, how would you like to read it? Paperback, audiobook, digital format?

Books with pictures and/or reference materials, and authors/series I collect(basically, I will take any and all copies of Dracula, things by Tolkien, and Xanth books)-- physical preferred;  regular novel-- digital is A-OK, but physical is fine, too.  I rarely listen to audiobooks (basically, only if the waitlist is too long on the word book/I've read it before/ the audio thing is more like a radio drama), and usually will borrow them from the library, since I am not much of a rereader.  Used books are fabulous.

 

15) If your BPAL wish list is mostly htf rares, is there anything currently available from the Lab that you are craving?

  Imps of any of the RPG creature jobs, a squirt of Elven Glam, the Snakes Berry Sonker, Caribbean storm relief scents, and probably a bunch of other stuff.  I just found a review describing a scent I can't remember as 'Akuma's sophisticated older sibling,' and I missed out on it. There was also something with wildflower honey...

So, yeah, anything that sounds like it would be in my scent preferences, from probably 2019 on-- especially in sample form-- and I would be totally open to revisit GC favorites.  I like nice smells.

 

16) Would you like a tarot deck?

Sure; or an oracle, they're all fabulous.
