So this thread was forever ago, but supposedly the fragrance notes for Soul are "Soul: A refreshing flash of light. This scent is fragrant with wild lilies, mountain violets, and a twist of mandarin orange." Interesting that people say it smelled like Dune, because I love Dune and Soul is the only Transparency I purchased. They both have Mandarin and Lily notes, I guess? Dune is "Top notes are Brazilian Rosewood, Aldehydes, Mandarin Orange, Bergamot and Peony; middle notes are Lily, Ylang-Ylang, Wallflower, Jasmine and Rose; base notes are Amber, Sandalwood, Benzoin, Oakmoss, Vanilla, Patchouli and Musk." (And Heart is still sold by Garden Botanika on Amazon. It's their ONLY PRODUCT they still sell! It's fragrance notes are "Powder-soft blend of gardenias, jasmine and roses blended with orange, cedar and cardamom and deepened with a hint of warm musk".)

Would you like to receive Girl Scout cookies and if so, what kind is your favorite? Samoa or thin mint! (But they'd be for my son.) Would you like a Gnome amigurumi? No thank you, I have tons! How about Gnome tea towel(s)? Nah, I'm good on tea towels. I got mom tons of them for the holidays. Would you like a cross stitched gnome picture / ornament? Yes! Cross stitch that can be framed on wall preferred. Mom likes traditional red / blue gnome colors. What's your favorite way to experience Nature? A hike in the woods, a day lounging on the beach, only as screen savers on your computer? Yes. Woods / forest / mountain forest with rivers or creeks or lakes. Beach backed by forest. Bonfires on the beach. Meadow surrounded by forest. Knot gardens and rose gardens. Herb gardens. The rainforest on the Washington coast peninsula. Would love to visit the Black Forest someday. Lush greenery. what kinds of safety and environmental concerns need to be considered for your gnome so they can safely reside at your home? will they live outdoors so they need to be weatherproof (for what kind of weather)? will they be indoors and need to be pet or child-safe? do they need to be very tiny or capable of hanging on a wall? I would prefer an outdoor gnome of some type as my mom is the Gnome lover in this house. How do you feel about zombie or other horror gnomes? Mom is pretty much about the Gnormal Gnomes which is sad because I bought her Game of Gnomes, Say Hello to my Little Friend, and some other more modern gnomes and she doesn't love them. Do you need any seeds? If so what varieties might you be interested in? Flowers, veg, herbs.. ? I feel like I have a black thumb when growing from seed (or keeping house plants alive, sigh.) I do love scented geraniums (I don't know if you can find seeds for them? I feel like most people sell rooted cuttings), patchouli, white sage (I have actually grown these from seed), or I have a plants amazon list. There are TONS of things I'd love from strictly medicinal ) Would you like feathers from my Peacock, Gary (short for Gyrados)? You already know I would! (Looks at huge cup full of Gary's feathers) if BPAL is one of your treasures, which BPAL would you like the mostest? (Maybe one that is available right now from BPAL and one Limited Edition/Discontinued?) Constellation (but of course it's only on the Haute Macabre site) Anything on my bottle list from wishlist is fine. (Although I do love NAVA as well, their vanillas and ambers! swoooooon!) Limited Edition/Discontinued: Black & Red Candy Canes or Moon when the Cherries turn Black, hahaha! But again, anything on my wishlist works. If you are a tea drinker, which (if any) of these teas tickle your fancy? I was very confused by this website because they are NOT in London (but in St. Louis, haha!) and why doesn't their 5th of November have bonfire toffee flavors, I don't associate fruit with bonfire nights, but whatever, lol!! I do love smokey teas, so this would be good to try. Alpine Black doesn't attribute the quote they use (rude!) which is one of my favorite quotes from Better Off Dead. I don't have a ton of berry teas, so would try this too. And I always love me some Lapsang Souchong. (general ramble about tea) I like flavored (or not) strong black tea to drink with cream and sugar but a lot of flavored tea is good enough to have just plain too. Depends on if I'm in the mood for more bitter, I guess? One of my favorites is the Butterscotch tea from Mariage Freres (it totally smells just like Butterbear bath bombs from LUSH!) so things similar to this are also welcome. A NEW favorite that I would love to have more of is from August tea - the apple and fennel (Dots & Loops.) And I love some of the Bird & Blend teas like Vicky's Sponge Cake and the Bonfire Toffee. I'd love to try Terry's Blend (chocolate orange) but it was out last time I looked. would you like a tiny hand drawn gnome picture? How tiny is tiny? If you hand draw me a picture that is for me and not a gnomie for my mom, I'd be ok with a more goth gnome. (Gnoth Gnome?) Is homemade vanilla something you might like? I have a "Mother Jar" that I can decant from. These beans have been steeping for 2 years in a very nice bourbon. oooh yes! Are there any colors you would prefer your gnome not to have? Did we do favorite colors? I can't remember! I loathe orange, yellow, beige, tan, brown, etc. I'm good with other colors but especially love purple, black, gray, blurple. (I don't love navy, pastels, or brights. Or pink. Or anything leaning warm.) Please try for jewel tones, darkened / blackened colors, or primaries. Mom likes the normal red/blue or blue/green. Red/green is too christmas-y. If the creativity bites, would you possibly like a small embroidered gnome? Could be an ornament? Any gender preference or details you might like added (small mushroom, bee, heart or egg...)? sure! Unisex (girl gnomes have beards like girl dwarves?), prefer in a little frame for wall, a little fox and mushrooms are awesome. Do you have a need for cheese knife? https://ototodesign.com/products/bert-cheese-knife? I do, I do! I love ototo designs, I have the mushroom funnel. I'll be in Seattle next week- any treat you might enjoy from the PNW? Spoopy/ Gothy things? Nice coffee beans? A Nirvana t-shirt...? A condo in pike place market with a roof top dog garden! Most of the stuff I'd like besides coffee would be perishable like Pagliacci pizza, piroshki, stuff from the British store. Plus I'll be there for a week next month! I would love some Cafe Vivace dark or espresso roast beans, I probably won't have time to go there. I'll be back in Disney World next month- anything you might like from Epcot or Hollywood Studios? everything nightmare before Christmas of course!! Would you be interested in a small copper nature totem that could nestle in your garden or amongst your plants? I can do some chasing to create a mushroom or a leaf or a special bug fren... A mushroom or leaf would be fun! Would you be interested in a decorative pillow or zippered pouch featuring a gnomely figure? like this? or a little coin purse? or please tell me to make this because oh my gods... Gno indoor gnitted or gcrocheted gnomes please. Unless it's like a small suncatcher or something? I have an angora rabbit and she's currently molting. Would you like rabbit fur for spinning, felting, or other crafty uses? No thank you! Do you need any spices? Need? No. Do I have a bunch on my amazon kitchen wishlist? Yes. How would you feel about gnome-inspired clothing? My mom loves gnome sweatshirts! Maybe a large size. would you be interested in any horror movie merch? If so, do you have a favorite horror movie / character? No thank you! Haus of Gloi launched their Valentine goodies today. Anything appeal? https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/valentines-1 I bought a bunch of sale things recently so I got a little packet of valentine's scents but I haven't sniffed them yet. By Candlelight and Cozy Rose both sound amazing and I would absolutely love those in Bubbling Scrub, Sugar Exfoliant, Room Refresher Spray, or a candle. Butterbombs in white musk and vanilla. Nocturne Alchemy just released their Valentine collection. Is there anything that strikes your fancy? I do love my NAVA. Cotton Candy Nag Champa Musk from the resurgence would be amazing. Crystalline #1 in a purple bottle would also be amazing. Crystalline #2 and #4 both sound great. Encens Ambre, Encens Vanille, both Eclipse blends, Poseidon's Vanilla Cheesecake, LOVE YOU. Any Paintbox Soapworks items you want? https://paintboxsoapworks.com/new-limited-edition/new/ Moonshadow bath streusel! I have a ton of sorbetto right now so I'm not in need really. UPDATE 2/16/23 -- I used some Moonshadow sorbetto recently while in Seattle and ... although all of the notes are MY NOTES, I actually don't love it that much. I hope this doesn't cause any issues. Are you interested in some of my homemade brown sugar shortbread? I would love lavender, rose, chocolate. Would absolutely try the blossoms. Regular flour/sugar is fine with me. Chocolate rose could be fun too. Do you have a seed and/or plant wishlist? Seeds may come from my personal stash, or not. I do, it's on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3A6UICRDCV5DP?ref_=wl_share So if I were to send you a plant, would you prefer an air plant or a succulent?? I will probably kill both of them. I kill air plants like woah. Succulents last a little longer. Any candles you might like? Be sure to check her clearance for leftovers from Halloween! https://www.etsy.com/shop/TeresaLynnsSimpleLux I don't burn candles very often but anything with my scent notes is fine. My mom burns candles a lot and I would probably give to her (she likes almost everything except patchouli.) Lupercalia went live. Anything catch your attention? Lupercalia 2023 – Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Yesssss I still haven't been able to get yules though. What is your favorite animal? Real or Mythical? I love all equine type animals (Friesians, Warlanders, Hippocampus, Kelpie), Pibbles, Bats, Rats, Ferrets, Leafy Sea Dragons. I love my piggies in RL and would love a pig gargoyle from Windstone (M. Peña) but unfortunately it is discontinued. Gargoyles/grotesques are my next obsession of mythical animals. Is there anything you would love from San Diego? FISH SOFT TACOS. Those probably wouldn't ship well though ... so I dunno. Starbucks "You are Here" mug? Either the big one or a tiny one. Or if they have Starbucks cards (Gift card type) that say San Diego, that would be awesome. I collect both the mugs and the cards. if you like ebooks, does that mean kindle? Google books? Another format I should be aware of? And so I don’t provide something you already have, what are some authors you would like to try? I prefer kindle books but if you just want to send me an epub file in email, that is cool too. Kindle is switching from .mobi to .epub so I'm going to have to convert my mobi files from years and years of digital ARC books for reviews if I want to read them again, weep. Luckily I started downloading both mobi and epub formats around three or four years ago. I *could* do google or ibooks but I really prefer to keep all of my books in one location, the same reason that I prefer to buy or add patterns to my library on ravelry. All in one spot. Ummm I read A LOT so there really aren't a lot of new authors that I'm super interested in? I have lots of books on my amazon book wishlist if you need inspiration. Feel free to send me an anonymous email asking if I've read something, or check my goodreads to see if I've read it. into astrology or not into astrology? Not SUPER into it. I just laugh at memes mostly? (Virgo.) There's an incredible herbal apothecary near me and a way I celebrate spring as a time of renewal is to sometimes henna my hands or feet with symbols that are personal to me, as a way of setting new intentions. Since you pretty much don't get more "earthy" than henna, would you be interested in receiving some high-quality of your very own to do similar sacred body work with (or...whatever you might wanna do with it)? Sure, I love henna! Hair, Skin, bring it. (For hair I prefer a black/blue henna.) I know we've already had the paintbox question, but Spring things recently went live. Any interest in spring Paintbox? https://paintboxsoapworks.com/new-limited-edition/2023-spring-collection/ Wisteria Biscuit I think is the only one of interest and not that much because I'm not a SUPER fan of coconut. Sometimes I like it a lot, sometimes I don't. Not a fan of dirt AT ALL and not a huge fan of fruit or floral, so pretty much everything in this collection is that except Wisteria Biscuit.

What is your favorite Easter candy? Chocolate bunny of course! But as I'm trying to do mostly ethical chocolate, it is hard. You don't HAVE to send me chocolate but if you want to, there are lots of great chocolate places in the US on this list: https://www.slavefreechocolate.org/ethical-chocolate-companies I'll be by Theo in Seattle so I might check out their Easter offerings if they have any. Maybe I can convince my driver to swing by Indi at Pike Place Market! L.A. Burdick and Vosges are delicious but shipping is sooo expensive if you're not by a store so I obviously don't expect anything like that. A lot of these brands you can find in upscale / natural grocery stores if you're so inclined to look. I'm not a huge fan of the Endangered / TCHO / Altered Eco personally but Dr. Bronners isn't bad! (I can find all of those at grocery stores no problem.) Purdys isn't too expensive and they have super cute seasonal things usually. I don't know how much their US shipping is. Tony's Chocolonely is not on that list but they are slave free as well (I think the list might be a little old as some of the websites don't work.) Do you like Jelly Bellies? If so what flavors? No thank you! Do you have a preference for plastic eggs, treat bags, paper, or no preference? If you are recycling plastic eggs those would be ok but otherwise I'd prefer no plastic. Are you interested in some of my homemade brown sugar shortbread? I would love lavender, rose, chocolate. Would absolutely try the blossoms. Regular flour/sugar is fine with me. Chocolate rose could be fun too. For those who don't like imps... In the case I find that I have something PERFECT for you in my collection that I want to share, would decanting into a squat itty bitty bottle with a screw top lid or rollerball be ideal? That's ok, I just don't really use sample sizes much. I would absolutely accept them for smelling purposes though if it's something I *Must* experience. Hi little chick, I just got yet another seed catalog in, and was thinking about the garden. It seems on theme, so do you garden? Would you like anything like seeds? I haz an Amazon plant wish list (for things that are NOT on amazon) https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3A6UICRDCV5DP?ref_=wl_share Spring Chick o' Mine, I have a question about mugs! What are your general feelings on mugs/drinkware? I really have more than enough mugs but I do collect the Starbucks "You are Here", City, State mugs. The 18/20oz ones with a handle or the little demitasse ones. The "You are Here" are currently sold in stores, you'd have to do a thrift store or used for the City or State mugs. (I used to find an SBUX mug every single time I went into a thrift store in Seattle, lol.) I drink my morning coffee from a regular (large) mug and then anything else for the rest of the day is from a mug with a lid because dog hair floats. So I love the Society6 travel mugs (stainless) or the LennyMud ceramic (with a handle if you can find them.) Dear bunny, what are your thoughts on these? https://www.thecrownedrabbit.com/pins ERMAGHERD the pibble pins!!! If they had a blue one it would be perfect but I like the black and white too. The ferret and grey rat are cute too. And black hooded rat. Dear chick, would you be interested in any of these baked goods? Matcha shortbread Hojicha shortbread Lemon scones Lavender scones Lavender lemon scones Chocolate chip scones (made with Guittard chips) Yes, send those ALL TO ME. Please LMK if you have any aversions/sensitivities to ACTUAL rose(s). As if someone were to send you flowers... I super prefer flowers that smell good and a lot of times hot house roses do not. (sad faces) but sometimes they have sterling silver or purple roses that DO, and I LOVE THOSE SO MUCH. I used to have like 50 tea rose / grandiflora / floribunda / etc. rose bushes at our Seattle house and a good quantity of those were "blue" (purple) and absolutely all of them were super fragrant. The only roses that seem to do really well here are rugosa and we make rose petal liqueur from ours - it is soooo fragrant and lovely. I love roses. Love love love. (and any useful / fragrant / edible / medicinal plant/herb.) Would you be interested in any cute Easter/spring-themed cookie cutters? No thank you! I rarely use cookie cutters. Milk, Dark, or White? I am a believer that chocolate is not chocolate unless it contains a certain percentage of cocoa mass & cocoa butter. White chocolate is just cocoa butter and sugar usually... so please no white chocolate. Lately I've been loving milk chocolate way more as "bar" chocolate but dark chocolate can be ok as a coating for truffles or drinking chocolate. I prefer not to just receive pure dark chocolate bars, I won't eat them. Anything over 50% is probably too dark for a bar. (If I do receive one, I will probably save it for baking, so not all is lost.) I'm going to pre-order some spring teas (and stock up on the maple houjicha) from Friday Afternoon. Is there a spring tea (or any other tea) that you might like, chick? The Maple Houjicha for sure!! I've eyed it multiple times but haven't had the $$$ to make an order for myself.

This blend is really sweet but not horribly foody. It didn't seem very amber-y or musk-y to me, but I liked it and kept huffing my wrist.

I am sick and can't smell a whole lot -- but I can smell the lovely sticky thick sweet patchouli in this. I might want like 500 more bottles. This is pretty much what I wanted Spoopy Kid to smell like.

Questions here -> My answers: Are there any currently available BPAL scents that you would love a bottle of? After hearing a review of Hearts are Not Had as Gifts, I really want a bottle of that. I also have more in my wishlist in my signature. Is there anything you're eyeing from Paintbox Soapworks' winter update? I love Streusel, Sorbetto, and wax melts. The scents I'm interested in are Joulupukki and Schwarzwald. Maybe Golden Orb. I am still really wanting some Moonshadow as well but that wasn't part of the yule drop I don't think. I have a wishlist pertaining to PBSW in my "Wishlist and Circular Swap Help" that is in my signature. Would you like anything from Cellar Door (they do soaps and candles)? I would love a Krampusnacht! Bad Santa sounds amazing as well. Anything of interest from Luvmilk? (Milky Monday, their version of Black Friday, is on 11/7!) I have a huge luvmilk list in my wishlist/circular swap help in signature. Crocheted Granny shawl. Yes or No? Preferred colors? (this one is pressing, I would need to start soon) No thank you! BPal wax melts? I have TKO and Red Velvet Cake, Would bundle up a few for you to try of one, or both if you like. TKO would be my preference but I rarely rarely rarely use wax melts, so would probably be wasted on me. Are you interested in boozy homemade fruitcake? I make a homemade fruitcake that is delicious, so I guess I could try yours! I am picky about fruit and about nuts though... so maybe have ringleaders ask me with specific questions about what is in it.  How about booze itself, specifically, moonshine whiskey infused with spices and fruits? Small sample would be lovely! Brown sugar shortbread? "Plain" buttery or flavored? Favorites include lavender and chocolate orange, but I could definitely do a holiday spice or peppermint batch or two. Lavender and chocolate orange both sound amazing. No peppermint. Interested in anything from Odins Daughter? Bath soaks sound lovely (all three sound good, but maybe especially banish because cloves.) YULE and Winter Nights both sound amazing. Candles / Mist. Two Faces of Hel candle!! BONFIRE melts!! And tacking on to this question for others in reference to Em, I make infused vodkas! The one I am most proud of right now is a spiced hibiscus liqueur. I make this as a jelly, too. As far as the Liqueur, We have been making an autumn Moscow Mule with it, and the other day I made a Mai Tai! Its yummy! I already have both the hibiscus liqueur and jelly from MsASofgg! Would take any other infused vodkas! If I can find the recipe, I want to make my grandmas Orange Slice Cake. Its a super yummy cake but a bit difficult to make as far as cutting up all the oranges. If you would like a mini cake IF I make it, lemme know! As long as the coconut could be left out? (I'm not really a fan of nuts in cake either. It's a texture thing.) I do molasses gingerbread cookies, as well as hot cocoa cookies, florentines and butterballs. Any of those sound good? OR homemade chocolate fudge? I can do peppermint, coffee or orange additions, with or without nuts. Hello molasses gingerbread cookies!! I'm good for almost any kind of cookies but do not love coffee flavored things and meh on peppermint. I don't really like nuts or coconut or texture things in my baked goods. Fudge I am kind of meh on unless it is penuche or a super special flavor (because we make SO much fudge, I'm totally burned out on it!) My favorite incense store is Good Earth Mercantile, any interest for an incense from them? I don't know much about them, if it is low smoke and they don't use phthalates or other things in their scents for the incense, then yesssss. Orange patchouli! Maybe Lilith? I went through and added a bunch to my etsy altar/incense wishlist. Are you a cotton candy fan? Would anything from Chocolate Storybook interest you? I like cotton candy and I probably have things from this company already on my etsy snacks/tea/noms wishlist, haha! Body Scrubs from CarolinaOrganicsSC are AHHHHMAZING! Any interest? OMG their bath bombs are too cute! And I love Stranger Things. I would definitely try any of their items that match my scent profile in bath bombs, melts, candles, shampoo bars, body scrubs, maybe soap if their soap is spectacular as well. The Dark Kiss bath bomb looks awesome (I wonder if they'll put their Halloween items on sale??) Again, I didn't find a scent list and I'm not in a place right now where I can click on All The Things with my hand pain. House of MetalWorks has super cute and dainty gold-filled stacking rings in my price range! If this interests you, include ring size! I love silver colored dainty rings! I am an 11 on almost all of my fingers except pinkies. Several questionnaires mention joy in receiving homemade baked goods. What are your favorite holiday baked goods? Cookies, Cakes, Fudge? Other? I love soft, chewy, and moist things, as opposed to hard/dry/cronchy. Chewy molasses cookies are something that don't seem to be made at home. I love a good medieval ginger brede (soft, sticky.) And pumpkin gingerbread (like pumpkin bread.) I would love to try things like butter pie (sweet, not the savory kind in England) but I'm sure that won't travel well. I have an allergy to corn, so please no corn syrup or other corn products. No artificial sweeteners. No coconut. (coconut sugar/oil/etc. is ok, I just don't like the texture of coconut.) I try to do organic and non-gmo as much as possible. Yep, I'm one of those weird people. Sorry, not sorry. (We make: rum balls, krumkake, spritz cookies (usually flavored with rum or almond), chocolate chip cookies, fudge (chocolate), chocolate tiffin (usually with cherries/shortbread), cherry/almond/marzipan/pear/amaretto fruitcake, sugar cookies, scottish tablet, russian teacakes, princess buttercups, peanut butter cookies, snickerdoodles, cranberry bliss bar sbux dupe, flaky peanut brittle, chocolate topped butter toffee almond bark (like almond roca I guess, but flat?), ummmm brain has now shut down so I'll edit if I remember more of what we traditionally make.) It sounds like we eat a lot of cookies/candy but we usually make them to give to neighbors and as care packages. We also make (and eat) a lot of Lefse during the holidays. Are you into peanut butter cookies? If yes, would you enjoy them with creamy or crunchy PB? I prefer creamy -- I don't like cronchy texture in my baked goods. (So no nuts in anything soft.) I am thinking of making flavored sugar. wtf, all of them. I can use them on caramels and cookies. (rose and lavender are my top, maybe lavender lemon.)  Would you like anything from Witch Baby Soap? (Make sure to check the Throwback Thursday section of the website; they bring back a few things every Thursday!) I went through and added a bunch of things to my Amazon Universal wishlist (under bath/beauty/body) Pickety witch has the yule offerings up, including Yule Cat pins (black or white) and ornaments. Which do you love most? YES YES YES the white Yule Cat pin. There are so many there I want. Do you like any specific roast more than another? Light? Dark? Medium? Breakfast Blend? I pretty much only drink dark roast. And I've got my grinder out, found one of my french presses, and also got some of the little keurig "my k-cup" things that you put your own coffee inside and I'm using it every day! So bring on the whole beans!! (I'm sad that Death Wise "Blue and Buried" and "Gingerdead" only come in ground, but I would absolutely take them that way.) Haus of Gloi's Yule is up, fancy anything? Any of these! Yule Body Powder: Long Winter's Nap Yule Butter Bomb: Marshmallow World, Boughs of Holly Yule Soy Candle: Turkish Delight, Three Treasures, Snow Wolf, Tannenbaum Yule Bubbling Scrub, Yule Refresher Spray, Yule Soy Tart, Yule Whipped Soap, or Yule Sugar Exfoliant: Nefarious Gingerbread Man Turkish Delight Long Winter's Nap Teeturtle has some adorable designs and their t-shirts often go on sale. Any designs that appeal? I already have a bunch of teeturtle designs on my amazon universal wishlist (the clothing one) with sizes and everything. Anything from the Lunacy You are eyeballing? I was going to order but evidently I overspent on Wolfenoot, Krampus, and Yule cat -- oops! I absolutely NEED: * Portrait of an Unidentified Man Dressed as a Skeleton * Schrodinger's Checkmark

I leave for a ten-day trip to Paris and London in one week's time and I'd love to bring back a goody or two if my Naughty/Nice Puss has any requests! are you interested in an advent calendar? What kind? (Dog cookie, tea, chocolate, etc.) Officially asking for your krampus preference, naughty children! I hand-make light-weight hair falls, the kind that is NOT meant to look real, but more like doll (or Dolly) hair. I use stuff like recycled silk, ribbon yarn and the like to keep them extremely light-weight and pretty. Is this something you would like? If so, tell me your color preferences (the more options, the better!) plus any allergies I should know about (wool, alpaca, silk etc), and length. Would you like a super ugly "Christmas" sweater with krampus all over it?? Is there anything you particularly have your fingers crossed for on your wishlist? are you hoping for more perfumes or more non-smelly goodies? dear Victim, are you in need of a squishable krampus? (or other squishable?) Anything from Penzy's to show you praise or to punish your wicked tongue? Do you like homemade fudge if it is Krampus'ed up? would you like a piece of Krampus themed art? Either watercolor, resin, polymer clay, or wire wrap? I'm probably going to place an order for October 33rd once I get paid next week. Are there any BPALs (recently released or otherwise) that you would love to get on St. Nicholas Day? Is there anything you'd be interested in from Loreworks? Please note, the body wash is marketed as body wash/bubble bath, but it DOES contain SLS for those who avoid it.) dear victim, are you interested in a microwaveable bowl cozy? Dearest Victim, might you bed a fan of the glorious old punk band, the Damned? I'm seeing them perform on Friday, so there might be things like tour t-shirts or stickers available- would any of this be of interest to you? (if not, no worries, I can worship them enough for the both of us! ) Dear *ahem* Victim *snicker* ... Would you enjoy a 2023 wall calendar? Victim, is there anything you would like from the Zeep holiday collection releasing on November 1st? (see this post) Are you interested in boozy homemade fruitcake? How about booze itself, specifically, moonshine whiskey infused with spices and fruits? Brown sugar shortbread? "Plain" buttery or flavored? Favorites include lavender and chocolate orange, but I could definitely do a holiday spice or peppermint batch or two. I want to make altered altoid tins for Christmas. Would you like one? What kind of homemade cookies do you like? Are you interested in having any freshly dried apple crips? (Golden Delicious and Fuji -- sliced, dried apples with nothing added.) Is there anything you're eyeing from Paintbox Soapworks' winter update? Haus of Gloi just dropped their Yule update- like what you see? https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/yule?page=1 I make infused vodkas! The one I am most proud of right now is a spiced hibiscus liqueur. I make this as a jelly, too. As far as the Liqueur, We have been making an autumn Moscow Mule with it, and the other day I made a Mai Tai! Its yummy! If I can find the recipe, I want to make my grandmas Orange Slice Cake. Its a super yummy cake but a bit difficult to make as far as cutting up all the oranges. If you would like a mini cake IF I make it, lemme know! The ingredients are as follows:  dates orange slices candy coconut buttermilk pecans orange juice Victim, darling, are you a fan of the Dresden Dolls? I'm seeing them this Saturday and there will no doubt be some good merch including t-shirts, posters, stickers and even artisanal chocolate bars! 😮 Any of that sound appealing? (if t-shirt, pls give size!) I uncovered a secret supply of vintage LE BPAL Trading Post soaps in my possession! I realize some folks are over bar soap, but in case you'll make an exception, lmk and maybe Krampus will deem you nice enough to get one

Too bad Black Opal is discontinued because I feel like that would fit the black-grey-purple with flashes. For cave and mineral what came to mind immediately for me was The Midnight Bell (Dark Delicacies, also discontinued sad face.) "Diabolical monastic incense and crumbling stone." Black Annis? It mentions "damp cave lichen." For Mushroom: Destroying Angel or Death Cap? Honeyed Mushroom & Incense (LE.) Dungeon Crawl is a good stone (and leather to me) scent, but again with the limited edition. Maybe 13 Hours from the Labyrinth? Dusty black stone, dried rosehips, black moss, and creeping ivy. Hmm, reviews are up in the air about stone. Here is another thread where someone was looking specifically for the "scent of a cave". A lot of people mention Kumari Kandam. skekTek the Scientist? "Metal and stone and beams of dark light" 'Tis Strange mentions moss covered stone. For coffee: Black Coffee? (yule 2020 LE) There were a bunch of coffee scents "kaffeeklatsch" for Yule 2019. Coffee Bean and Copal? Black Coffee and Old Books? Kobold Barista? That's all I got.

I leave for a ten-day trip to Paris and London in one week's time and I'd love to bring back a goody or two if my Naughty/Nice Puss has any requests! Paris: Mariage Frères or Damman Frères tea, always. I have a huge list on my amazon beverages universal wishlist from their websites. I love black tea the most; smoky, lavender, rose, vanilla, butterscotch, anise, chai, cinnamon. Lately I've been liking fruit teas as well. (I'm not a super huge fan of bergamot / earl grey type teas although I will drink them occasionally; they're just not my fav.) Any kind of cool soap, perfume, body products, candles, matchbooks (do places still even do matchbooks?), lavender, fancy chocolates/caramels/chocolate covered seafoam. (I have a list of the kind of truffles and chocolate I favor on my snacks amazon list.) OH! I'd love some blackcurrant, rose, anise, violet and maybe orange blossom pastilles from France -- the Abbaye de Flavigny. And there are all kinds of little candies and interesting treats from Europe that I would be interested in, just for fun. And Outremer (formerly L'Aromarine) eau de toilette sprays! Especially Vanilla and Cola. And maybe Rose and/or Lavender if you can smell it and make sure it's a good one. (just small bottles are fine!!) London: Again with any kind of fancy tea. I love Bird & Blend! (again, I have a huge list from their website on my amazon beverages universal wishlist.) I don't think Future Primitive has a brick & mortar but I'd love their Ghost Smoke and/or Campfire Marshmallow whipped soap or body cream. fancy chocolates/caramels/chocolate covered seafoam. (I have a list of the kind of truffles and chocolate I favor on my snacks amazon list.) Bonfire toffee! Clotted cream fudge! (or some kind of delicious clotted cream in a jar?) Anything Red Dwarf. and of course if you find good Krampus or Christmas Market type stuff (probably too early), I'm down!! Marzipan?? are you interested in an advent calendar? What kind? (Dog cookie, tea, chocolate, etc.) I love advent calendars, I am a weirdo! I love the ones for dogs - maybe Trader Joes will have theirs out soon!, snobby tea like from bird & blend (too spendy for this swap I'm sure), Divine chocolate, Lindt chocolate. Officially asking for your krampus preference, naughty children! I do prefer cuter Krampus and Krampuss. And Vintage Krampus. I hand-make light-weight hair falls, the kind that is NOT meant to look real, but more like doll (or Dolly) hair. I use stuff like recycled silk, ribbon yarn and the like to keep them extremely light-weight and pretty. Is this something you would like? If so, tell me your color preferences (the more options, the better!) plus any allergies I should know about (wool, alpaca, silk etc), and length. Someday! When I am able to go places again! Would you like a super ugly "Christmas" sweater with krampus all over it?? I do have some "ugly christmas" sweatshirts on my wishlist but mostly just black and red. Not super ugly please. My favorite one I have right now is a Robert Smith "ugly christmas" sweatshirt. Is there anything you particularly have your fingers crossed for on your wishlist? I have a Krampus wishlist on etsy, a Krampus wishlist on Amazon, etc. for your browsing amusement. I'd really kind of like one of the self inking rubber stamps to motivate myself to send out holiday cards! I adore the Krampuss from Clockwork Art and the Mocking Krampus from Ryta's Art (both on etsy wishlist.) I've tried the Coalition tea and it's good, wouldn't say no to more than a sample. But you don't have to get things from my wishlist -- they're just to show you the kind of things I like. If you see other things you'd think I'd like, I'm all for it!! (I like crocheted amigurumi and knitted mitts/shawlettes/really long double cowls.) are you hoping for more perfumes or more non-smelly goodies? I don't really need more perfume so it's totally up to my sender! But I would especially love some of the items from my NAVA wishlist! Their 10ml are being discontinued at the end of the year and I'm fretting about some of them. dear Victim, are you in need of a squishable krampus? (or other squishable?) YES, YES I DO. And undead unicorn, and gargoyle, and bat. In that order. Anything from Penzy's to show you praise or to punish your wicked tongue? Always. I have penzey's stuff on one of my amazon lists. Do you like homemade fudge if it is Krampus'ed up? Heck yeah! (I am weird about texture though, so I don't like crunchy things in my fudge and I hate walnuts, just fyi.) would you like a piece of Krampus themed art? Either watercolor, resin, polymer clay, or wire wrap? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ALL OF THE ABOVE I'm probably going to place an order for October 33rd once I get paid next week. Are there any BPALs (recently released or otherwise) that you would love to get on St. Nicholas Day? I could always use a Snake Oil to put aside for aging. Dreams Shape the World You Get What Anybody Gets - You Get a Lifetime The Obsequies of an Egyptian Cat anything from my wishlist really. Is there anything you'd be interested in from Loreworks? (Please note, the body wash is marketed as body wash/bubble bath, but it DOES contain SLS for those who avoid it.) Those are hilarious! lets see, scents: snape, dead but delicious, Zoltar, dr. Blights bubonic, cellar door, trick or treat yo self, Sally's song (whipped soap), this is Halloween (dusting powder) mists, powder, whipped soap, shea cream dear victim, are you interested in a microwaveable bowl cozy? I have lots but I could always use cool Krampus fabric (I get mine at spoonflower, the cheapest cotton is fine - there is a sale right now!) Dearest Victim, might you be a fan of the glorious old punk band, the Damned? I'm seeing them perform on Friday, so there might be things like tour t-shirts or stickers available- would any of this be of interest to you? (if not, no worries, I can worship them enough for the both of us! ) I'm good. Dear *ahem* Victim *snicker* ... Would you enjoy a 2023 wall calendar? I *do* need a wall calendar. Anything goes. I love snarky, friesians, pitbulls... Victim, is there anything you would like from the Zeep holiday collection releasing on November 1st? (see this post) oooh. I like Whipped Soap, Sugar Scrub, Sugar whip, Bath Truffles, and body spray. The scents that stand out to me are Santa Baby (body care), White Christmas (bath truffles), and for wax maybe Abominable Snowman, Christmas Eve, Christmas Past, Christmas Tree Cakes, Santa Baby, White Christmas, Winter Fest, and Yuletide Carols. (so basically vanilla, marshmallows, trees, and orange/clove, lol!) Are you interested in boozy homemade fruitcake? it depends on the fruit and booze used. I love the cherry almond marzipan one with amaretto. But I don't like the weird glacé cherries and store bought fruitcake types. How about booze itself, specifically, moonshine whiskey infused with spices and fruits? yes! Brown sugar shortbread? "Plain" buttery or flavored? Favorites include lavender and chocolate orange, but I could definitely do a holiday spice or peppermint batch or two. mmmm shortbread. I love chocolate shortbread, I bet chocolate orange clove would be delicious. I want to make altered altoid tins for Christmas. Would you like one? Krampus Krampus Krampus Krampus (or Yule Cat!) What kind of homemade cookies do you like? I like chewy sugar cookies with buttercream frosting, soft gingerbread cookies, pumpkin gingerbread type bread (I guess that's not really cookies), molasses, shortbread. Are you interested in having any freshly dried apple crips? (Golden Delicious and Fuji -- sliced, dried apples with nothing added.) Yes, but I have them! Is there anything you're eyeing from Paintbox Soapworks' winter update? I love Streusel, Sorbetto, and wax melts. The scents I'm interested in are Joulupukki and Schwarzwald. Maybe Golden Orb. I am still really wanting some Moonshadow as well but that wasn't part of the yule drop I don't think. I have a wishlist pertaining to PBSW in my "Wishlist and Circular Swap Help" that is in my signature. Haus of Gloi just dropped their Yule update- like what you see? https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/yule?page=1 (NO pumpkin butter, perfume, soap, hair oil, etc.) Body Powder - long winter's nap? not sure about the flannel/cashmere/oatmeal but I like vanilla/tonka/lavender. Butterbombs - Marshmallow World!!!!! or Boughs of Holly. Yule refresher sprays, wax melts, candles, whipped soap, sugar exfoliant, or bubbling scrubs: Turkish Delight!!!!, Snow Wolf, Nefarious Gingerbread Man, Tannenbaum, Three Treasures, His Sweater. (Not a fan of foodie, floral, or peppermint.) I make infused vodkas! The one I am most proud of right now is a spiced hibiscus liqueur. I make this as a jelly, too. As far as the Liqueur, We have been making an autumn Moscow Mule with it, and the other day I made a Mai Tai! Its yummy! I already have both the hibiscus liqueur and jelly from MsASofgg! Would take any other infused vodkas! If I can find the recipe, I want to make my grandmas Orange Slice Cake. Its a super yummy cake but a bit difficult to make as far as cutting up all the oranges. If you would like a mini cake IF I make it, lemme know! Maybe without coconut if that's possible? I don't love coconut unless it's toasted and sprinkled LIGHTLY on top of a dessert. (although I like coconut milk in recipes and cooking with coconut oil?)

Would you like me to attempt a small painting of your fur baby or to honor a former fur baby? If so, can you provide a reference photo you like? YESSSSS I will have to think about reference photo. I actually splurged and ordered some Liliths and Weenies. Are there any decants you're interested in that you didn't order? I think I ordered most of what I wanted! But anything I didn't order is fair game! (You can see what I ordered in the CNS thread.) If you're up for knits or crochet, would you prefer washclothes, headbands, wrist cuffs, fingerless mitts, hats, or a shawlette (wear like scarf except not as long so can't wrap around your neck more than 1-2x.) I could probably find a bunch of the above with moon motifs or for dogs/sneks/birbs/cats to wear. (I made a wolfenoot bundle of patterns, will keep adding as I find cute things.) (sneks are here-> https://www.ravelry.com/bundles/snek-hats) I would love sooo many things! I totally think Zuul and Bailey need unicorn snoods. I'm getting more confident in my embroidery and I'm ready to try my hand at embroidery on clothing. Would you be interested in a hand embroidered scarf? I'd love embroidery on a hankie or something to hang on the wall!! are you interested in an advent calendar? What kind? (Dog cookie, tea, chocolate, etc.) yesssss I love dog cookie ones (but I'll probably grab one from Trader Joes if they come out and I see one), Divine chocolate, Lindt chocolate, TEA (I'm thinking David's Tea and Bird & Blend or some fancy tea, so probably too spend for this swap.) If I were to send a toy from one of my favorite critter toy sources, would you have any preferences? (squeaky/not, plush, chewy, etc.) The dogs LOVE those latex (multipet globlet -- would try any of the latex ones from multipet) piggies (I have some on my amazon list ... and their big one got run over by the truck the other day when we were taking straw bales out to the pig/goat barn -- it make a HUGE pop and blew stuffing out. Oops.) Flat tough squeak, flat tough crinkle. The accordian pig one looks fun but I have no idea what it's durability is. The multipet are actually pretty durable. Little Wolfies - Arcana has dropped Hallowitch stuff and a 15% off deal. Shout out if you see anything you'd love! I would totally try Wolfling and Witches watch Sci-Fi Movies. What are your favorite shops to buy fun things (treats, toys, clothes, whatever) for your fuzzy friends? Mud Bay in Seattle area and surrounds are my favorite place for treats because 1) bulk 2) reasonably priced. Unfortunately I only get over to that side usually once or twice a year so when I go, I have to stock way up and then keep the treats in sealed containers and hope they don't lose their freshness. Right now we also have some dehydrated liver treats (the dogs LOVE love love LOVE these) and some seasonal treats from Trader Joes (maple bacon pumpkin or something crazy.) Sometimes I get the liver on chewy, sometimes on amazon, just depends on where I can get the best deal. I really like BarkBox but I can't afford it since no income, but every once in a while I'll just get ONE box for them if there is a good special. I also used to hit up "Earth Pet" and "All the Best" in Seatown. There are a couple of places here that are cute but they seem really expensive to me, so .. yeah, mostly google for what I want and go with best price. Although Winco did have some super cute dog "costumes" -- I totally want the FBI coat that they have for Miss Bailey of the Super Snoof. She should totally be a working hound doing nosework and drug sniffing or something, she gets bored easily and then gets into trouble. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too smart for her own good. (Zuul is smart but is content to just snuggle and cling to me most of the time like a good velvet hippo.) Favorite tea brands and flavors? This is in my questionnaire and on the bottom of my SW Help / Wishlist and also on my Amazon Beverages wishlist. Would you want a watercolor of your pet? NO promises that it will be amazing- just wanted to ask in case you prefer a different pic for watercolor vs pain Of course!! I still haven't looked at fav photos tho. I suck. Dear wolfeloot, are you interested in a microwaveable bowl cozy? I have lots but I can always use cute moon fabric! Black with white moons, or blue/purple batik with white moons would be awesome. (no gold or yellow please.) Dear 'loot -- would you like a 2023 wall calendar (or other type?) What kind? Yes, I could use a wall calendar!! I love all kinds! I had a Lisa Frank one last year and I love snarky, pitbulls, friesians, whatever. No animals pooping though please, kthx. Are you interested in having any freshly dried apple crips? (Golden Delicious and Fuji -- sliced, dried apples with nothing added.) I already have them, nom! how culinarily adventurous would you say you are???? I love ethnic foods but I don't want to eat brains or bugs or whatever. (also I am pretty picky about organic, non-gmo, no synthetic food color, etc. I prefer my meat to be humanely raised.)

Would you like me to attempt a small painting of your fur baby or to honor a former fur baby? If so, can you provide a reference photo you like? If you have cats, would you like some organic catnip harvested from my property and dried in our dehydrator? I actually splurged and ordered some Liliths and Weenies. Are there any decants you're interested in that you didn't order? Are you interested in having a bag from our shop? (twinklentwilight.etsy.com) If you're up for knits or crochet, would you prefer washclothes, headbands, wrist cuffs, fingerless mitts, hats, or a shawlette (wear like scarf except not as long so can't wrap around your neck more than 1-2x.)

I'm a patch fan but was afraid of the honeysuckle ... but I took a chance and yay! The honeysuckle stays in the background for me and the patch comes forward. And it's my lovely "goblin" patchouli (which is also in revenant rhythm and silky bat I believe!) it's quite lovely and I'm happy I snagged a bottle from the restock!

1. Would you like anything from Paintbox Soapworks Halloween line? https://paintboxsoapworks.com/new-limited-edition/2022-weenie-collection/ I looked a PBSW and unfortunately most of their halloween stuff has at least one death note in each offering. (I don't love coffee scented things or most floral, fruit, or dirt.) I totally have a wishlist of their other offerings though! 2. Do you have any interest in Halloween or spooky squishmallows? I love all spooky/halloween squishable things. Cthulhu, bats, plague doctor, baphomet, black philip... 3. Anything from Bath & Bodyworks Halloween Line? I really wanted their bat wallflower night light! (I have a haunted house one from them.) BUT I went into the store and my store had a really cool Raven (on a blue/gray pumpkin) wallflower night light!!! I want it!! I also sniffed all the things and added what I like to my amazon fragrance wishlist. I was really happy to see that all of the aromatherapy body care is now made without sulfates, parabens, or artificial dyes. I also saw a sign that their soaps are there too. I hope the rest of their body care gets there. So anyway, I would gratefully accept car scent refills (and I love the crescent moon car scent holder), wall flower refills (and the raven wallflower), pillow mists (the aromatherapy line), candles, and fragrance mists or spray perfume. And antibac. So here is my scent list: Dark Amber & Oud (candle) Vanilla bean (candle) Pumpkin Bonfire (this totally smells like CLOVE. which is hilarious because their "pumpkin clove" scent smells like cinnamon.) (candle or wall flower) Warm Vanilla Sugar (wall flower) Vanilla Birch (wall flower) Enchanted Candy Potion (spray, wall flower, anti bac) Vampire Blood (car scent, anti bac) Into the Night (soap, mist, or spray perfume) Eucalyptus Sage (aromatherapy line - pillow mist) Cedar Ylang Ylang (aromatherapy line - pillow mist) Lavender Vanilla (aromatherapy line - pillow mist) 4. Autumn/Fall scents I love: Resins, woods, cloves, roses, vanillas. Ones I dislike: dirt, leaves, apples, most fruits, most florals Are they different for home vs body & bath?? I'm more forgiving for bath scents but still have pretty much the same preferences. Pickier on home because of my respiratory issues. 5: If I were to make you a set of arm warmers/ fingerless mitts, what color(s) & style would you like? Gothy. Black/Purple or Black/White stripes Long or short? Medium 6. I'm going to Disneyworld in late September! I'll be going to all four parks and attending both the Not-So-Scary Halloween Bash and Epcot's Food and Wine Festival. Is there ANYTHING from Disney that you would like? Is there something you collect that perhaps you'd enjoy a Disney version of (tea, socks, enamel pins, plushies etc etc etc)??? Take me with you! Anything and everything NMBC (not socks though since I have huge feet.) 7. I make lightweight hairfalls- would you be interested in some? Either to incorporate into a costume or just for your own year-round use? If so, name your colors and preferred length, and if you have any fiber allergies you want me to take note of! I have some hairfalls and never ever wear them (nor do I even leave the house most of the time) so would be wasted on me right now. 8. I am going to Dragon Con for the first time! Which of these BPALs do you want? If they have Snake Milk or anything else on my BPAL wish list, I'm game but no peaches please. 9-16 are my questions 17. How do you feel about raisin in baked goods? It kind of depends on the baked good? Oatmeal raisin cookies - yes. Those bread rolls that are shaped like muffins from sbux? yes. Other things, not so sure. 18. Lego? If so, what types, minifigures? Not really my thing. 19. Favorite spooky fictional characters? Jack and Zero? Demogorgon? Hot vampires? Goblin King? Ringwraiths? (Is Bad Horse spooky?) 20. Luvmilks seasonal goodies are out! What scents and formats appeal to you, my little pumpkin? https://www.luvmilk.com/mm2022.html#/ Dusting Powder: Scarecrow with Girlfriend or Lover Bath Milk or Salts, Sugar Scrub, : Clown with Girlfriend, Pegasus with Girlfriend, Scarecrow with Girlfriend or Lover And I always adore their lip balm in Baby Bat and Aphrodite's Altar. 21. Would you like a Pyrex 4-cup Nightmare Before Christmas bowl with lid? (Can also get Star Wars and various Disney ones.) I have enough of the 4 cup and 7 cup but I'd love one of the rectangular ones if you can find it! (and I love pyrex 4 cup with bats!!) 22. August Tea's fall sale starts tomorrow, 20% off everything on the site with code FALL20. Is there anything you would like to try, my Pumpkin? https://august.la/ OMG YES. I have all kinds of wishes from here under my amazon beverage list. And I have a "permanent" 20% off in the Summer Swap spreadsheet under offerings, you have to sign up with their email and they'll send you a coupon. 23. I grow lots of different herbs and I'm dehydrating loads of them right now, are you possibly interested in: catnip, sage (culinary and/or purple), oregano (Greek and/or purple), rosemary, plantain herb, chives, celery, licorice mint, lovage leaf, mugwort, mint, spearmint, chives, borage leaf, blackberry leaf, raspberry leaf, comfrey, lemon balm, or others? I would love everything except catnip, mugwort, and lemon balm. 24. My peacock is molting his tail feathers, would you like some? I have a ton from you but will always take more! 25. I'm learning embroidery. Is there a simple motif or symbol (like a pumpkin, a black cat, flowers, spider web…) you might like hand embroidered? BAT... or pibble. 26. Would you like either a basket or a tablemat (that works as a place to put hot dishes as well as being decorative). I make both from fabric wrapped rope that is sewn together. Could be a bread/rolls basket, a yarn bowl for knitting or crochet, or a big flat mat. Yes!!! Either or both. Preference to basket if just one. 27. I'm taking a trip to New Orleans, anything you'd like food or souvenir-wise? Allll of the food. I love me some crawfish etouffee or crawfish po boys from N'awlins. Everything from Cafe du Monde (beignets probably don't ship well tho.) I would totally want a Cafe du Monde mug if they were at least 18oz but I only see 11oz on their website. Oh wait! They have a "Colossal Mug" that is 24oz! (I would use it for soup!) Cafe du Monde coffee & chicory coffee PODS!!! YES!!! Also I like the "coffee and beignet" magnet, patio and awning magnet, or the Fleur de Lis magnet. Creamy or chewy pralines, cuccia chocolates... ! Also would totally take some Mam Papaul's red bean seasoning mix, king cake mix, gumbo mix, jambalaya mix... Some kind of fun green hot sauce! Voodoo doll, gris gris bag, candles, etouffee or fun cajun spices, local artwork or jewelry, post cards... 28. Are your booklists linked somewhere, and up to date? Link to my amazon book wish list is in my signature under wish list / SW help. Books aren't really a priority unless I have them listed as "highest priority". 29. Do you have fur kids and would they like treats as well?? My spoiled dogs always love treats. Prefer USA made / grain free. If you're in the Seattle area, I am almost out of my Mud Bay bulk cookies (grain free, all kinds!) and would love more. Or a GC to Mud Bay. 30. Do you have any interest in trying my infused moonshine whiskey? I've been thinking of experimenting with autumn spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove) and maybe a chocolate chai. Of course!! Nom! 31. Any interest in spooky shape wax melts in your favorite candle scents? (What are your favorite candle scents?) Sure! Probably vanillas, marshmallow, patchouli, clove... same as perfume scents too. I used to have a spiced plum candle I adored. I like men's/unisex fragrances in candles as well, like Drakkar Noir, CK1, CKB. Nostalgic. Witches Brew from Yankee is one of my favorite scents! I probably have candle and melt scents on my wishlist (under PBSW), etsy lists, maybe amazon fragrance list, and up above under the Bath & Bodyworks question since I liked some of their candle scents this year. 32. How about lotion bars? I like the concept but I never use them and they end up going bad. 33. Bird and Blend Tea Co. just came out with their Autumnal tea drop! Anything look good to you? (Also, if you're not a pumpkin-y person I invite you to explore their other offerings, cause everything they do is magical) Check 'em out: https://www.birdandblendtea.us I already have ALL the Bird & Blend on my amazon beverages wishlist. Love love love! (For the autumn season, maybe the sticky pumpkin chai, campfires & vampires?) 34. Do you need any BPAL storage? Bottles? Imps? Nope. I have extra now because of all of my destashing. 35. Does anything catch your eye from my local tea purveyors? https://www.fridaytea.com/ (I hope they make more Womb of Doom soon!) or https://perennialtearoom.com/ I think I have everything I want from Friday Tea. I'd take things from Perennial Tearoom! Smoky Russian Caravan, Almond Sugar Cookie, Vanilla Cream, Hot Cinnamon Spice (although really, could it be better than Harney & Son's?? I would have to pit them against each other), Ginger Peach, Northwest Blackberry, Seattle Chai, Lapsang Souchong, maybe the Turkish Blend? 36. Can you use a mug? What kind/size do you like? I prefer mugs with a lid (to keep out dog hair and small flying things) or soup bowl sized ones (for soup.) I have some on my amazon wishlists. I also collect the Starbucks City Mugs (demitasse size or full size.) If a mug isn't at least 18 oz, I'm not really interested, lol. (but the demitasse size take up less room and are easier to display.) 37. One of my favorite Etsy chandlers is having a sale, anything catch your feathery fancy? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TeresaLynnsSimpleLux I still love super highly scented candles that absolutely REEK and waft fragrance while they're burning and also wax melts. I have a couple of electric wax burners. * Clove Cigarettes * Dragon's Blood * Saffron Perique * Sisters of the Moon * Headache --- I just don't have the energy to go through each of their candle scents individually and they didn't think to put them all in the photos or anything. 38. Does anything appeal from the Nocturne Alchemy Halloween Update? I just placed my order, so I can add-on a treat or two for you until Monday night, September 12th! https://nocturnealchemy.com/collections/limited-collection I am ordering Googly Bat, Vintage Werewolf, and the Sommeil but I added others to my Wishlist / SW Help. I would love Neon Wolf,and/or Neon Vampiress and lots of decants! 39. Quick question - If I were ordering some marmalade or other jammy things, would you be interested in any of the following? Orange Marmalade, Blood Orange Marmalade, or whole fruit jams in strawberry, peach, current, or triple berry? I have peach and strawberry so maybe triple berry, currant, or blood orange marmalade? 40. For decor what general Halloween style is preferred? Traditional, cute spooky, dark and gothic, horror, etc? More descriptive the better!! I don't actually decorate for Halloween, I just have kind of the same decor all year round that includes skeletal creatures, skeletal/NMBC themed kitchen set (when I don't live with other people anyway like right now I am living with family), bats everywhere, black and white Brian Serway artwork on the walls, Gideon/Harrow/Nona large prints (that need frames, lol!), Black/Grey/White marble (and wood painted to look like marble in those colors), granite grey desk, gargoyles/grotesques, cthulhu (I have the cutest little purple Cthulhu amigurumi from a Switch Witch!) I also have things like Krampus, Labyrinth, NMBC, etc. Funko Pops, would love Demogorgon things, Black Philip, etc. Also Unicorns and Equines (Friesians!) but spooky dark versions, so Kelpies and things too. Like Abigail Larson / Iren Horrors artwork vibe with rich darker jewel tones (I have a Iren Horror's Hecate print as a phone case (from society6.) or Brian Serway's bats/equines/crows vibe.) (Of the ones he has available right now, I have Dusk Mother, Nightbringer, No Nightmares, The Fox & the Crow.) https://www.etsy.com/shop/BrianSerwayArt? or https://bserway.com so ... yeah. I like jewel toned blues and purples (cool leaning) or rich cool leaning blackened reds or burgundys/wines as well for color pops. Zero warm leaning colors like beige, orange, yellow, brown, etc. (shudder) I don't even really love orange pumpkins although I tolerate them for outside fall decor. No inside though!!! So kind of a goth/dark/but also some cute? I love coffin shaped frames and shelves/trays, bat shaped bowls/tray/shelves/key hooks (I'd LOVE an iron/metal bat with spread wings and little dips from his wings as hooks if that makes sense! I have an octopus one right now that I hang necklaces and other things on.) I have an altar for Hecate with a bone colored statue, iron cauldron, chalice, etc. I'd love to have more altar space someday, I kind of took over St. Expedite's spot in the main house (sorry Expedite!) Someday I hope to have a "map room" where I have large posters of maps from all of my favorite fantasies, like Middle Earth, Narnia, Four Corners of Civilization, Tamriel, Hyrule, Randland, etc. But not anytime soon unfortunately. It would probably also be the gaming room for tabletop and RPG. 41. (please read in thread as it's rather long) Are you interested in anything from Solstice Scents? https://www.solsticescents.com I would love to try a sample of the Estate Amber! I wouldn't say no to the Lavender Vanilla Glissade. 42. Do you have a strong preference for whether packages are numbered 1-13, thus curating your experience somewhat, or do you prefer the random draw method where you can follow your whims and open in whatever order you choose? Whatever is easier for my sender!

1. Cellar Door just posted their Halloween goodies - I love their scents, soaps and candles - which of these might you fancy? https://cellardoorbathsupply.com/collections/halloween-fall-collection? I'd REALLY like to try the Once Bitten soap and/or candles!! Also Black No. 1, Sanderson Spice, Zombie Repellent, Lavender Pumpkin, , Michigan Moonglow, Graveyard Smash. From their permanent collection, Sex Machine, Tickled Pink (soon to be retired!!) 2. If you'd like handmade knit items, are you good with soft wools or do you prefer acrylic only? zomg, no acrylic unless for amigurumi. I love merino, merino silk, merino cashmere.. 2a. Are there any items you'd love for fall/halloweenie? (Ie mittens, hat, fingerless mitts, cowl, legwarmers) I always love fingerless mitts but I have really large hands so using stretchy cast ons and bind offs is a must! I like double length cowls, shawlettes, etc. Please look at my ravelry "make for me" bundle to get ideas. -- the gnomes and foxes are for my mom. (I don't like traditional triangular shawls unless they are super special (like the bat and unicorn shadow knits or double knitting) and I don't wear hats except newsboy type caps with a brim or maybe some huge gothy sun hats.) 3. Anyone fancying the new Paintbox Soapworks or Witch Baby Soap Halloween launches? I haven't looked at PBSW yet but I have a wishlist of their normal things and summer things. I know nothing about Witch Baby Soap and I'm super picky about soap because my hands are super dry. edit: I looked a PBSW and unfortunately most of their halloween stuff has at least one death note in each offering. (I don't love coffee scented things or most floral, fruit, or dirt.) edit: I looked at Witch Baby and I would be down with trying their bath potions, bath salts, bath bombs, hand sanitizer, hand salve, soap, scrubs, face mask, body butter (sample size?) etc. in any of my note preferred scents. Here is what caught my eye: (lots in case some sell out) Astrology Black Mass Charity Cord Cutter Dragon's Blood Gossip Stopper Hex Breaker Holy Smokes (bath potion) Initiation Laid out in Lavender Left Hand Bath Lunar Tide (face mask) Moon, The (face mask) Morpheus face soap Old Wise Man Psychic (anything, including hand sanitizer) Queen of Hearts (face mask) Rune Stone Salt of Venus (bath salt) Seance Seven Salts (bath salt) Virgo Birthday Cake 4. Would you be interested in an adult Halloween coloring book? I recently backed on kickstarter for one by a local gothic art market near me and it's due in during the swap period. No thank you. My hands and fingers do not love coloring. 5. What are some OCYL brands you've been wanting to dabble in? NAVA is my go to right now (but mostly vanillas, ambers, roses, musks, patchoulis.) I would like try Cellar Door candles! I've tried their soap and it was pretty fabulous (just the sample bars) so I'd love some full sized. I'm open to try other OCYL brands for scrubs and bath products (but maybe not perfume) as long as sulfate, silicon, paraben, phthalate, etc. free. 6. I am working on making bath bombs. Would you be willing to try my creations? Of course as long as they are sulfate, silicon, paraben, phthalate, etc. free. 6a. How about wax tarts? Of course! 6b. What type of scents do you favor? I have covered this pretty thoroughly in my profile, SW help, and questionnaire I think! 7. What kinds of home smell good things do you like? (I.e. incense, candles, wax melts, felt scent balls, essential oils, linen spray) Low smoke incense, high quality candles and wax melts, essential oils, linen & atmosphere spray, dryer scent balls, rose beads, car fresheners of all kinds, soap in with my shirts and socks and unmentionables, scent beads in little jars... I mean, if it smells good, I am HERE for it. (I just have to make sure it doesn't set off my allergies or respiratory issues.) 8. would you like anything from the bath and bodyworks Halloween line? I really wanted their bat wallflower night light! (I have a haunted house one from them.) BUT I went into the store and my store had a really cool Raven (on a blue/gray pumpkin) wallflower night light!!! I want it!! I also sniffed all the things and added what I like to my amazon fragrance wishlist. I was really happy to see that all of the aromatherapy body care is now made without sulfates, parabens, or artificial dyes. I also saw a sign that their soaps are there too. I hope the rest of their body care gets there. So anyway, I would gratefully accept car scent refills (and I love the crescent moon car scent holder), wall flower refills (and the raven wallflower), pillow mists (the aromatherapy line), candles, and fragrance mists or spray perfume. And antibac. So here is my scent list: Dark Amber & Oud (candle) Vanilla bean (candle) Pumpkin Bonfire (this totally smells like CLOVE. which is hilarious because their "pumpkin clove" scent smells like cinnamon.) (candle or wall flower) Warm Vanilla Sugar (wall flower) Vanilla Birch (wall flower) Enchanted Candy Potion (spray, wall flower, anti bac) Vampire Blood (car scent, anti bac) Into the Night (soap, mist, or spray perfume) Eucalyptus Sage (aromatherapy line - pillow mist) Cedar Ylang Ylang (aromatherapy line - pillow mist) Lavender Vanilla (aromatherapy line - pillow mist) 9. Do you have any interest in spooky squishmallows? YES ALL THE SPOOKY THINGS. Especially bats. I think their Plague Doctor is cute too. Or am I thinking of Squishables? Cthulhu always accepted. Black Philip. Baphomet. 10. Would you enjoy spooky stationary? I would love spooky stickers and blank cards with cute spooky artwork! And some good quality ball point or gel pens. 11. I know a lot of us are witchy and have deeply held beliefs about the materials we use as part of our practice. If you're one of those individuals, are there certain herbs, crystals, etc that you do not want to receive? I can't think of any. I'm set for smoke type sticks (we made our own with mugwort and lavender) but if you make them too, I would love one! I don't need tumbled rocks / crystals and I'm probably set for small obsidian pebbles but I can always use palm stones / worry stones, beads, scrying mirrors, towers, orbs, etc. 12. When you have a distinct preference for one holiday over another, What are some cross over items that actually work for both? All of Nightmare before Christmas? *head tilt* I keep my Halloween stuff up all year so prefer things like NMBC, bats, corvids, gargoyles, skulls/skeletons and not things like witches, ghosts, zombies, pumpkins. Oh, now that I read the question in the forum I see - between Halloween and Fall. For me they are pretty much one in the same! *grin* 13. One question (that is actually several questions) -- Local honey? YES ALL THE LOCAL UNPASTUERIZED HONEY! (we make mead, so seriously -- all the honey. Like there is never enough honey -- but I really don't want honey that is pasteurized or from grocery stores as imported honey is not checked by FDA and is often loaded with nastiness like antibiotics or other gross things and/or is fake. Honey is one of the THIRD most faked products besides milk and olive oil and over a third of honey in US grocery stores has pollen filtered out and/or has other undeclared things added, like corn syrup or beet syrup. Laboratories have figured out how to modify high fructose corn syrup to look like honey!) SO LET'S SUPPORT OUR LOCAL BEEKEEPERS!!! 13a. Infused/flavored honey? YES 13b. Local infused/flavored honey with Southwest notes (jalapeno, other pepper, mesquite, acacia)? YES 14. Does anything from JiJi Knight spark your interest? https://jijiknight.com/ Not my style, sorry! 15. Any spooky/weenie DVDs you're missing and would like in your collection? NMBC? the Crow? An old Hammer film? Dark Shadows? The Omen? Sleepy Hallow?...? I have a DVD/Blu-Ray wishlist on Amazon but I don't think any are especially spooky. I really do most of my watching as streaming since I don't have a blu-ray / dvd player in my room.  16. Dang (or good!), another serious question -- Shampoo and/or conditioner bars and if so, for what type of hair (dry, fine, oily, curly, normal)? I like shampoo and conditioner bars and other naked bath products. I have fine straight hair that is going grey and hopefully will be colored again soonish. Volume boost is my favorite. No sulfates, etc. please. (curse LUSH for having sulfates in their shampoo bars!!) 17. I just got the email that the Ectogasm Halloween Collection is live. Does anything interest you? https://www.ectogasm.net/collections/halloween I have some of their things on my etsy wishlist! Bats, obviously. Carpe Noctem. Red Rose Planchette. Winged skull washi tape! Moon and Roses stained glass sun catcher. Miskatonic University pin. 18. On a scale from Paprika Is a Heatwave to Let Me Eat a Peck of Pickled Ghost Chiles, how spicy is too spicy, and how spicy is just right? Jalapeno and Smoked Jalapeno (Chipotle) are my favs. I go through the tabasco sauces of those two like water! We make candied jalapenos and I have lots of chipotle powder and dried jalapeno and such. Would be up for trying hot sauces similar! (I have Yellowbird Jalapeno sauce and the Trader Joes jalapeno sauce.) 19. I make lightweight hairfalls- would you be interested in some? Either to incorporate into a costume or just for your own year-round use? If so, name your colors and preferred length, and if you have any fiber allergies you want me to take note of! I have some hairfalls and never ever wear them (nor do I even leave the house most of the time) so would be wasted on me right now. 20: If I were to make you a set of arm warmers/ fingerless mitts, what color(s) & style would you like? Gothy. Black/Purple or Black/White stripes Long or short? Medium 21. Homemade canned and baked and concocted goodies? Any aversions? Bring 'em on! (I don't like Okra so no canned okra please.) 22. If I could make you some of my fudge, what would you prefer? ALL OF THEM. And the Penuche without nuts. 23. Are you open to trying different indie perfume houses if I find a scent that I think you'd enjoy? Maybe if it's in an atomizer? I haven't had good luck with most indie perfumers besides NAVA and BPAL, and BPAL is starting to not work on me (probably because of all of the medication I have to take.) 24. I love making stickers!! If I could design you some stickers, what would you love to have? It could be halloween themed or not! My art style is a bit simplistic, cartoony, and cutesy, I usually draw fairies but last year I did a swap on reddit and made someone a bunch of halloween dog stickers lol. (Sidenote: They probably won't be waterproof, but they're glossy vinyl!) Bats! And my dogs or pigs would be cool. 25. I've got a bunch of small round labels perfect for bpal 5ml label lid art! Name your top 5-10 scents that you'd love to have lid art made for! Just as a fun little extra in your package if desired (Could also work for other companies with lids just like the BPAL bottles) Eternal Ankh, Lavender Dolphin, Snake Oil, Satyr, Foxes with Sweaters and Scarves, Unicorns & Stars, Vampire Rose Bat, Vampire Vanilla Bat, Polychrome, Tomb of the Undead 26. I'm going to Disneyworld in late September! I'll be going to all four parks and attending both the Not-So-Scary Halloween Bash and Epcot's Food and Wine Festival. Is there ANYTHING from Disney that you would like? Is there something you collect that perhaps you'd enjoy a Disney version of (tea, socks, enamel pins, plushies etc etc etc)??? Take me with you! Anything and everything NMBC (not socks though since I have huge feet.) 27. Would you like any decor from Say Target, Homewood, or William and Sonoma? I have lots of ideas for decor on my amazon lists under furniture & home, everyday is halloween, etc. so if you see something you think I'd like, go for it! Preferably nothing orange/gold/bronze. (I do silver toned or black metals, otherwise purple, black, jewel toned blues (no navy), grey, black & white, cool leaning burgundy/dark reds.) 28. I am going to Dragon Con for the first time! Which of these BPALs do you want? If they have Snake Milk or anything else on my BPAL wish list, I'm game but no peaches please. 29. But, I am going to Dragon Con this weekend. Is there anything you would like? Lab wise or just general geekery I'm sure there are tons of things sold at the conventions that I would adore but I'll leave it up to your judgement! I used to get a lot of jewelry at cons back in the day. *skipping 30-37 because I asked those* 38. I make specialty simple syrups. You can use them in teas or cocktails (and desserts). How do you feel about a Hibiscus simple syrup? I use 2 ounce bottles for these so its just a fun amount. Yum!!! 39. Format for tea? e.g. teabag vs loose I prefer loose but sometimes I can only get teabags so those are ok as well. (also tea pods for k-cup machines.) 40. Do you like spooky themed tights? If so, what are your measurements? No tights please. 41. Pls post your book wishlist! It's on Amazon, link is under SW help. I only do epub/mobi (I guess kindle is changing to epub soon, so that is preferable) and I get so many books from the library that I only want the HIGH and HIGHEST priority -- OR if one of the discworlds goes on sale for $1 or something. I pre-ordered Nona the Ninth kindle but I would love the whole Locked Tomb series on audiobook! 42. Would you like to receive a 2D collage art piece? What overall vibe would you be into? (spooky, autumnal, whimsical, eerie, lovely, occult, bizarre, smutty etc.?) I'm not sure I'm super into collage but if it's gargoyles/grotesques/bats/ravens and mostly black/white/purple, it could be ok? (Having a hard time envisioning.) 43. Do you like rocks/gemstone jewelry? Prefer polished/smooth rocks or raw/rough? Any favorite stones, rocks, colors that you'd like? I don't really wear jewelry right now, but I'd love some stretchy gemstone bracelets to use as shawl fasteners. I have a bunch on my amazon jewelry list to give you an idea of stones I like. I also love palm stones, worry stones, pocket pebbles, towers, orbs... I mostly like shiny unless geode or pretty crystal structure. Charging slabs are good too. I could use a much larger piece of Auralite 23 and I always love Aqua Aura. Blues, purples, blacks, greys, or for purpose/intent. 44. Any interest in the August releases that got announced today? https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-tag/august-2022/ Unfortunately, yes! Ceres (decant), Charcoal Champa Resin Tobacco (decant or bottle), Empowering (TAL, decant or bottle), Forge of Vulcan (decant), Lavender Buttercream (bottle), Moon when the Cherries Turn Black (BOTTLE!). I might end up ordering the lunacy and lavender buttercream if they don't sell out before I get some $$$. 45. Luvmilks seasonal goodies are out! What scents and formats appeal to you, my little pumpkin? https://www.luvmilk.com/mm2022.html#/ Dusting Powder: Scarecrow with Girlfriend or Lover Bath Milk or Salts, Sugar Scrub, : Clown with Girlfriend, Pegasus with Girlfriend, Scarecrow with Girlfriend or Lover And I always adore their lip balm in Baby Bat and Aphrodite's Altar. 46. Would you like a Pyrex 4-cup Nightmare Before Christmas bowl with lid? (Can also get Starwars and various Disney ones.) I have enough of the 4 cup and 7 cup but I'd love one of the rectangular ones if you can find it! (and I love pyrex 4 cup with bats!!) 47. August Tea's fall sale starts tomorrow, 20% off everything on the site with code FALL20. Is there anything you would like to try, my Pumpkin? https://august.la/ OMG YES. I have all kinds of wishes from here under my amazon beverage list. 48. I've recently taken up embroidery, would you like a small (I embroider on 4" hoops) embroidered piece? What sort of design would you like? BAT... or pibble. (NAIL POLISH - covered in questionnaire I think??) 49. Would you like either a basket or a tablemat (that works as a place to put hot dishes as well as being decorative). Yes!!! Either or both. Preference to basket if just one. 50. I'm going to the farmer's market tomorrow, and there are lots of great vendors. Would you be interested in soap or chapstick or bath/body products? Whatever you think I might love! 51. Would you be interested in a tumbler like these? If so, what theme would you like it to be? Glitter or no glitter? What color do you want the liquid to be or would you prefer the blood drip look? Pass, thank you! 52. How do you feel about ribbons? Is there anything in particular you are looking for if you'd want some? What about ribbon remnants? Colors/textures? I don't really use ribbons but thank you! 53. Would you be interested in any skincare items? Anything you would not want? Ummm anything that's in my bath/fragrance/whatever amazon wish list or similar! (no sulfates, parabens, ptha-mumble-ates) 54. Is anyone else interested in the latest Sphere & Sundry release? https://sphereandsundry.com/offerings/bpals-of-exalted-venus-ii/ Or other S&S offerings? Always! Anything you think I'd like. 55. Do you have any interest in trying my infused moonshine whiskey? I've been thinking of experimenting with autumn spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove) and maybe a chocolate chai. Of course!! Nom! 56. Any interest in spooky shape wax melts in your favorite candle scents? (What are your favorite candle scents?) Sure! Probably vanillas, marshmallow, patchouli, clove... same as perfume scents too. I used to have a spiced plum candle I adored. I like men's/unisex fragrances in candles as well, like Drakkar Noir, CK1, CKB. Nostalgic. Witches Brew from Yankee is one of my favorite scents! I probably have candle and melt scents on my wishlist (under PBSW), etsy lists, maybe amazon fragrance list, and up above under the Bath & Bodyworks question since I liked some of their candle scents this year. 57. How about lotion bars? I like the concept but I never use them and they end up going bad. 58. Bird and Blend tea just did their Autumn drop! Anything look good to you? https://www.birdandblendtea.us (Also, if you're not a pumpkin person, I invite you to check out the rest of their offerings, which are always exceptional!) I already have ALL the Bird & Blend on my amazon beverages wishlist. Love love love! (For the autumn season, maybe the sticky pumpkin chai, campfires & vampires?) And Butter Brew! 59. Arcana Craves halloween drop! Anything catching your eye? https://arcanacraves.com/ No, I don't do Arcana much anymore, thank you. 60. I feel like with some of the witchy/seasonal stuff it might be helpful to know everyone's signs. If you're interested in that kind of thing, what's your sign? Virgo 61. Would you like anything from The Pickety Witch? (I'm going to the Vegas Oddities and Curiosities Expo next weekend, and she's vending there, so it may not matter if an item is in stock or not on the website!) https://www.thepicketywitch.com/ UM YES OMG THE BABY GOAT PLUSHIES BAPHY in purple or black! Plus I have had their Black Philip pin on my etsy wishlist for years, I'm glad to see they've expanded and now have their own website and a larger line of things! PINS in no particular order: Learning to Summon, Harvest Crow, Demon Cat, Unicorn of the Forbidden Forest, Peony Witch Hat, Witch Boots, Ghost Goat. (her bats have dangling things on them which to my autistic self is a big NOPE.) Only silver ones though? I didn't realize some are rose gold or copper or other colors. 62. so these nail polishes keep showing up on my instagram and they are kinda vampy--do you wear polish and do any of these float your boat? NOTE I have never worn Holo Taco stuff so cannot vouch for quality just the vibes are super witchy 🙂 https://www.holotaco.com/collections/dark-rainbow-collection I haven't actually painted even my toes for over a year so I'm going to say no. 63. Favorite bands/artists? Perhaps you'd be interested in a DIY patch to sew onto your jacket/pants/bag or maybe pins or a sticker or anything DIY-ish? I don't wear a jacket or coat that you can sew things onto or carry any bags. Or wear pants much, haha. (PJ's forever!) So I'm going to say no. 64. Is there anything from Lush you are coveting? Their halloweenie stuff is out here: https://www.lushusa.com/halloween/?cgid=halloween&pmid=604&start=0&sz=28 I have my LUSH wishes on my Amazon bath & beauty & fragrance list. 65. sock dreams? yea or nay? Anything in particular catch your eyes? Keep in mind that I only wear socks literally maybe once or twice a year in the winter when I am forced to actually leave the house to go somewhere (feeding animals doesn't count because I just slip on lined boots without socks.) But I do have sock dreams wishes on my Wishlist / SW help. 66. https://rockytopsoap.com Do you have any interest in these? Star Anise lip balm. Maybe the most moisturizing? (Triple butter, oatmeal, avocado.) 67. Nocturne Alchemy just dropped their Halloween 2022 limited collection! I am popping in here to see if anything would strike the fancy of my pumpkin? 😁 https://nocturnealchemy.com/collections/limited-collection/products/new-halloween-2022-limited-collection I am ordering Googly Bat, Vintage Werewolf, and the Sommeil but I added others to my Wishlist / SW Help. I especially want Neon Wolf, and Neon Vampiress and lots of decants! 68. Here's a question... there's sooooooo many on here about tea but for my fellow coffee gals... do you prefer whole bean or ground?? if there's a choice how do you like your coffee ground?? I don't know where any of my coffee makers are right now (french press or toddy, that's all I really use) so I'm using my parent's keurig. So, kcups. I mean, I *do* know where my grinder is and I could do the self made k-cups, but it's unlikely I would actually do it since it seems like someone is always in the way. 69. Look at Cat Coven's site and tell me what you see that appeals - she is one of my favorite Halloweeny artists, and makes awesome things. I like supporting her work. https://www.catcoven.com/collections/new-arrivals I used to have things from Cat Coven on one of my amazon lists but I can't remember off the top of my head what it was. I don't use patches and their "curious wanderer" pin (and dragon) are gold colored, puke. I do love the Fantasy Creatures (x-ray) pillow case. And Metamorphosis (lavender.) 70. Are you interested in any art supplies? If so, what kinds and colours? Right now I think I'm good really except for maybe some cool findings in end caps but I don't know exactly what size I need so I suck, sorry. 71. What are your fave smells for incense, and do you have a preference for format (cones, stick, loose without needing charcoal, loose that needs charcoal)? Same as my fave smells for everything else really? Vanilla, Nag Champa, Rose, Sandalwood, Dragon's Blood -- I have some incense on my fragrance wishlist. I love blends too? I just need low smoke if possible, or I'll have to burn it outside. I love resins and loose incense for charcoal but I rarely use it because of the smoke involved, only in the fall, winter, or spring when I can be outside without roasting or being eaten by bugs. (I guess that's coming up!!) I really need more SAND for my charcoal!! The darn dogs spilled my last bit of sand that was in my burner. I'd love red, black, purple, or white sand. 72. Anything catch your eye from this super cool queer creepy-cute style UK artist? https://www.abprallen.co.uk/ too pastel! Do not like the colors. Sorry. 73. Pls say more about your book preferences if you haven't already! Esp. regarding fiction. The only books I would SUPER love are Seanan Maguire's new October Daye book (Be the Serpent) on kindle, and OMG THE GOLDEN ENCLAVES coming out later this month on kindle. Or the Locked Tomb series on audio (I already have the kindle books for all three - Gideon, Harrow, and Nona - so I can buy the audible books for $7.95 each and I'm not sure if someone else can buy them for you, so a GC would work best in this regard probably?)
