9/2 I'm wanting to place an order with Paintbox Soapworks. Do you see anything you'd like? New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks I will give different answers from Switch Witch, just in case. Dead Leaves on the Dirty Ground or The Grey Hound sorbettos, clean slate soap, Poesy complexion mist Copied this question from my Switch Witch-My Witchee doesn't seem to be interested, but might my Pumpkin like the following? I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters. It's a story told through beautifully illustrated letters, pictures, diagrams, post cards etc. One snail mail letter at a time. The letters and details are gorgeous. I've finished reading it, would you like me to pass it along to you? My question I make junk journals and paper crafts. I would probably have time to make a mini journal or a paper folio type thing. It would come decorated but with space to write and add your own touch or I could make a folio complete with address labels, stationery, stamps etc. to organize your writing goods. Would you like to receive one? My style is generally vintage but I could also do a Halloween one, winter holiday one, shabby chic or something of your suggestion. My question 9/4 Anything from Haus of Gloi's fall collection https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1 ? Candles in Cozy Apple or Olde Cider Haus, Refresher Spray-Ghost Puffs, Pumpkin Butter in Apple Milk or Spider Silk all sound lovely. Are there any creatures, autumnal or not, real or mythological, that you feel a strong connection to? Cats Speaking of fandom, I am going to place an order from Karen Hallion's shop soon and wondered if there's anything my pumpkin would be interested in: https://www.etsy.com/shop/khallion No, thanks Shortbread? That would be lovely. Rose or lavender especially! Maybe orange spice? Or the secret recipe? LOL Post-Updat 9/15 Do you burn candles / would you like to receive one? Yes, I like strongly scented candles Is there anything you'd like from Lush? (I have a whole slew of things from recent sales, like gift boxes with Sleepy scented products. They are good until 2026.) Yes. I love LUSH. Sleepy is one of my favorites. Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach or (some kind of berry) jam? I like jam in theory but never use it. Do you like plushies, like Squishables? No thanks. Do you like caramels? We have a local caramel maker who vends at our farmers markets. Any of these flavors sound good? https://jonboycaramels.com/collections/buy Yes, sea salt, molasses ginger or espresso My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample? Samples are in recycled nip bottles, about 50ml - OR I could do a 5 to 12oz. I don't really drink but the description sounds great. I'd try it Technically he makes a lot of "melomel" which is mead with fruit (blackberry, huckleberry, blueberry, raspberry) and sometimes "cyser" which is a melomel made specifically from apples. Also sometimes he does "metheglin" which is mead made with spices and/or herbs -- like chocolate orange peel (made with cacao nibs from Theo Chocolates.) I keep trying to get him to make a rose or lavender vanilla bean one for me. We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either? Samples are in recycled nip bottles, about 50ml - OR I could do a 5 to 12oz. Roses and lavender are both from our organic garden, no spray. Again I don't really drink but these sound intriguing. Could you send a recipe along with it lol? Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like? Local coffee, smoked salmon (vacuum sealed and shelf stable), local tea (Friday Afternoon Tea, Market Spice, etc.), local chocolate (Theo Chocolates, Maeve Chocolates, Boehm's Chocolates, Frans (also salted caramels), etc.), Huckleberry scented or flavored things, lavender scented or flavored things (there are SO MANY lavender farms here), honey, Seattle mug/shot glass/postcard/keychain, blown glass ornament or pike place pig, spice from spiceology, Bigfoot / sasquatch related items, Dick's Drive In kitsch, grocery bag that has PNW on it, something from Pike Place Market or the Space Needle, Liberty Orchards items (like aplets and cotlets), etc. Lavender flavored things!!!!!! Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars? I'm afraid it would melt, it is still very hot here. Do you have a favorite kind of truffle or "candy counter" piece that you like? (Turtles, seafoam, orange jelles, peanut butter cups, butter creams, clusters, chews, chocolate covered fruit or nuts, espresso beans, fudge, malt balls, english toffee, marzipan, rocky road, etc.) Butter creams, dark chocolate covered espresso beans If you're sugar-free, do you want chocolate sweetened with maltitol or other alcohol type sweeteners? How about stevia? Boehm's has a selection of https://boehmscandies.com/product-category/sugar-free/. I'm ok with sugar How many food items would be too many for your package? If it's all different brands of chocolates from Seattle, honey, mead, liqueur, caramels, jam, etc. is this a bad thing? Not a bad thing but I'd like a mix of items not just food. Do you need any storage for BPAL bottles or imps? I think I have enough storage, thanks Is there a tarot deck calling your name? No, thanks. Could you please be more specific about what kinds of socks you enjoy wearing? I especially like the fuzzy kind you sleep in. I wear them around the house all day. Crew length are good. Would you be interested in any Tokidoki? https://www.tokidoki.it/ My kiddo collected for awhile and we have numerous dupes of older series that might love to tag along in your package. No, thanks. I'm one of those maker people. How would you feel about a set of nice long armwarmer mitts? I make them from thrifted sweaters. Wearable art. Any preferred colors? I have a new design in my sketchbook, that I'd love to make for you. Oh, I love maker people, but Florida. If you could make something else appropriate to climate, sure. I dunno, a placemat? doily?

Ok, In order to help my witch out, I have stopped being lazy and will keep my answers in my blog from now on Interested in anything from Cellar Door's Halloween update? Not this time, thanks. Anything from Sock Dreams catch your eye? (https://sockdreams.com) Not really, thanks. I live in France, and we have some great tea here! Most folks know about Mariage Freres but may I suggest Damman Freres? Here's the link- they're still in summer mode, but I assure you, autumnal teas will grace their pages soon! (https://www.dammann.fr/en/) I am pretty stocked up on tea at this point. Do you see anything you need from Paintbox Soapworks Weenie Update? New & Limited Edition - 2025 Weenie Collection - Page 1 - Paintbox Soapworks. I love their sorbettos and Jack of the Woods appeals to me. I also love the Clean slate facial scrub and the bookkeepers hand salve. Tiger paste hand scrub looks excellent as well (my hands and cuticles are a disaster!) Speaking of updates, anything from Haus of Gloi's Fall offerings speak to you? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1) I do like their pumpkin butters a lot. The scents that I'd be interested in are Ghost puffs, Olde Cider Haus, Scarecrow, or Pink Bubblegum. Also, I know we have barely scratched the surface in knowing what the Lab will release for Weenies, but a wishlist couldn't hurt, so what'll it be? I updated my wishlist in my signature How do you feel about the pastel Halloween offerings that are out? I actually like them. I am going to decorate my kitchen in pastel Halloween, my patio room with my Halloween tree, and the rest of my house with Vintage style Halloween. I'm one of those crafty sorts that make things. I make things by up cycling sweaters, for example - mittens, slippers, armwarmers (both solid or striped from multiple fabrics ). Could also make a tea cosy with a mat. I make bowls, mats & vessels from rope that I wrap with pretty cloth. So essentially, functional, useful fiberart. What might you like? Long striped armwarmers? A pair of slippers, decadently lined in cashmere? Slippers would be awesome and cashmere lined? Wow. A rope basket sounds lovely too. do you have an amazon wishlist to be sure I don't duplicate a book? I just updated my Amazon wishlist, but I don't have any books on it right now. I'm definitely up for my witch passing on books they have read and no longer need. I added my Etsy Wishlist as well. Do you have a Halloween Tree? Do you need decorations? I just got a 2 ft black tree this year. I have decorations but would welcome a special ornament from my witch. I added some ideas on my Etsy wishlist of my style. Hair falls? They sound lovely but I'm afraid I don't have enough hair to pull one off. Witchy supplies? No, thanks Custom artwork? Sure. Maybe something abstract? Not too big. Dragon Con? Early Weenie preview? The most interesting to me are listed below. Don't need a bottle of any of these but a decant would be fine just to try them. Black eyeliner Peach Lipgloss Chartreuse Dragon Glaucous Dragon Dark Macademia Witch Flash I'm in Japan, anything specific you would want from here? maybe stationery or pretty scrap paper I just got back from Mongolia and brought a bunch of small souvenirs, how do you feel about small things from random countries? I only really collect souvenirs from places I have visited. I make custom ita rosettes/cases (pics here to explain what I mean https://tinyurl.com/mwtwmvfm. Is that something you might be interested in? If so, what type/colors/size/etc. etc. Maybe something pink and white with lace and pearls. I could use it on a junk journal cover. Snorg tees (http://snorgtees.com) has some hilarious and awesome new shirts. They are also reasonably priced. Please give me 3 of your fav designs and tee size/color if available for a color option. Didn't see any I need, thanks. BloomChic (http://bloomchic.com)has some pretty fun plus and smaller size halloween fashions. If you so desire, give me your top 3 favs with sizes! I didn't see anything, thanks. I like making little flower arrangements with fake flowers; would you be interested in a mini bouquet (think, something that would fit in a bud vase)? If so, any seasonal/color scheme requests? Yes, that would be lovely. Fall colors or my living room is grey, forest green and sage green. Feelings on candles/wax melts? Candles are fine. I don't use wax melts. Feelings on crocheted wall art/mandalas? Color scheme requests? I'd try it Greens and grey to match my living room. Jumping in as *I think* the only Australian, is there anything specifically Australian you might like? I think Tim Tams are probably the most commonly coveted/procured goodie I could offer. Never tried a Tim Tam but would be willing. I also have a local tea blender just down the street from me if there is anything from there you might like to try https://teahouse-the-tea-specialty-shop.myshopify.com/. I'm pretty stocked up on tea right now. I have a wonderful coffee roaster near me, wood-roasted, small batch, regular and decaf, all roast types. It's so good, I won't buy coffee anywhere else, and I only drink dark roast decaf. IF this sounds good, whats your coffee desire, and beans or grind size? They are also a FULLY geeked out space with every video and arcade game known. so I would also send a sticker from them, so also include your favorite old 70's-80's cartoons or fandoms. I like dark roast regular. Whole bean is fine. I love the 70s! Cartoon would probably be Scooby Doo. I’m dying to knit my Witchee something lovely, as long as it would be appreciated. I can’t commit to a big project in the time frame, but socks, a hat, a cowl, arm warmers, or a shawlette for your neck and shoulders could definitely be doable if that would be enjoyed. Just let me know colour preferences, or fibre preferences/allergies. Socks or a shawlette would be lovely! Again, greens, grey, blue I sew clothing and costume, if you could have any garment made just for you what would it be and what would it look like? You can include reference links/images or just describe it. Wow, that's a good question. Maybe a jacket or a blouse. I like this style https://www.naturallife.com/collections/tops/products/sweet-nothings-embroidered-cotton-top-white, https://www.naturallife.com/cdn/shop/files/IMG_0658-Edit7.webp?v=1752858935&width=1350, https://www.naturallife.com/cdn/shop/files/Lobby_20Megan_204-17-25-1363-Edit.webp?v=1751296515&width=1350 Do you enjoy stim toys or other fidgety items? I work near an amazing store called Madam Clutterbuckets Neurodiverse Universe that caters to neuroduvergents as well as employing entirely Neurodiverse staff and supporting lots of ND and disabled artists. I live buying stickers, patches, art fidgets and kicknacks. Would you be interested in anything? Website is here but there's way more in store: https://www.madamclutterbuckets.com/ I don't need a fidgety toy but I like some of the stickers. Cool website! Ren Fest items? Nothing I can think of but if you find something you think suits me. What is your size in say Tshirts? Pajamas? T shirt is L or XL depending. If it's women's style I may need XL but Unisex probably only L. Pajamas-XL I like them roomy. Do you like Halloween socks? Any particular style or image/character? Yes! I like the fuzzy sleep socks and also ankle or knee high (which will only be crew length on these fat calves!) I just picked myself up a Scooby Doo pair. I like pumpkins and black cats, ghosts etc. I was fortunate enough to be gifted an entire collection of the Flower Letters-Lily Clara series. It's a story told through beautifully illustrated letters, pictures, diagrams, post cards etc. One snail mail letter at a time. This one is a story of a entreprenurial woman during the silver rush in the West and a bit of a mystery. The letters and details are gorgeous. I've finished reading it, would you like me to pass it along to you, witchee? Of course it would be in your last box, so I don't give my identity away.... My own question so not applicable. I make junk journals and paper crafts. I would probably have time to make a mini journal or a paper folio type thing. It would come decorated but with space to write and add your own touch or I could make a folio complete with address labels, stationery, stamps etc. to organize your writing goods. Would you like to receive one? My style is generally vintage but I could also do a Halloween one, winter holiday one, shabby chic or something of your suggestion. Also my own question, but if you are a paper crafter, I'd love to receive something of yours. I love seeing other people's work and love handmade gifts. Snag tights? No thanks LUSH? I do like LUSH. From the new Halloween releases maybe the Palm Reader Hand cream? Dragon con scents? Listed above Disney Paris? Nothing I can think of, thanks. Nocturne Alchemy? Red Pine Amber Incense sounds like something I would like. *Would you be interested in a handwritten book, filled with things about some of your favorite things, birthday lore, recipes, pretty pictures, stories, quotes, etc.? Not exactly my thing, but thanks. *Is there anything you absolutely DO NOT want, that hasn't come up elsewhere? This could be anything from "please, no more plush unicorns, I am drowning!" to "I have trypophobia." I don't use nail polish and I have plenty of makeup. *If I were to send you a physical book, are there any genres/themes/authors you'd prefer not to encounter? I don't like romance or smut. I don't really like gorey horror, I prefer more of a thriller/suspense/psychological. I don"t mind, for example, if a historical fiction has a romance element but please no Harlequin type romances-Ugh. I'm always looking for book recommendations and would be happy if you passed along something you read and loved. Charities? I am partial to animal welfare and rescue charities. Greenwoodtree's fudge? I would say penuch without nuts or chocolate cherry, or maple. I do canning and make lots of tasty condiments. Would you like to try some? YES Give me some flavor ideas. How do you feel about peach? Rhubarb? Tomato? Spicy or sweet? Spicy and sweet? YES to all. Posie Tea? No thks on tea. Would you enjoy overtly Australian things in your gift? Like indigenous spice blends, or Vegemite, I already mentioned Tim Tams, but there are lots of other fun things I could send. I don't think I am familiar enough with the things to know. I don't LOVE cooking so maybe not spices. Also, if I were to include chocolate in your gift, would it be milk, dark, or white? Or is all chocolate good chocolate? All chocolate is good chocolate BUT dark chocolate is the best chocolate. That said I am not a huge chocolate fan but a little dark chocolate is ok. Is there anything here that appeals? https://www.erstwilder.com/ Cute stuff but I probably wouldn't use it. Are you interested in having some of this year's homemade peach jam? In theory yes, but honestly I don't eat much bread so it would probably go to waste. Do you like bracelets? Can you wear soft stretchy polyester ones, like zox? (zox.co) If so, what size would you prefer? (s / m / l). No thanks Do you need any supplies or notions for any of your hobbies? I have more craft supplies than I can probably use in my lifetime. Do you like plushies, like Squishables? I have one that I sleep with but don't really have a use for another. Do you like caramels? We have a local caramel maker who vends at our farmers markets. Any of these flavors sound good? https://jonboycaramels.com/collections/buy Maybe sea salt or molasses ginger My son makes mead, would you like to try a sample? No thanks, I don't really drink. We made rose petal liqueur and lavender vanilla liqueur; are you interested in having a sample of either? Again, I LOVE the idea and I love floral flavorings but I don't really drink and not sure how to use it another way. Is there anything specifically Pacific Northwest or Seattle themed that you would like? Besides always wanting to have lived there? No, not that I can think of lol. Maeve Chocolate (formerly Seattle Chocolates) has "seconds" bags; are you interested in some imperfect chocolates? Which flavors? https://maevechocolate.com/collections/truffle-chocolate-bars? Some of them sound really good, but I'm not a huge chocolate person. Trader Joes is getting their seasonal things in. If you don't have a TJ's by you, is there anything you want? https://www.traderjoes.com/home/discover/stories/fall-products-2025 Well, I do have a TJs close enough to go, but I seldom do. So dear witch don't make a separate trip but if you already happen to be going, I do like the pumpkin body butter and maple things in general. Wyrding Studios just posted a new update. Do any of these appeal to you, witchee? https://wyrdingstudios.com/collections/in-the-waiting-woods Beautiful things but my ears are very sensitive to metal and the other things are pricey. Tis the season for planner people. Are you one? If so what is your planner poison of choice and do you need/want supplies and if so, what type do you want? I use a planner but just to keep track of myself so no fancy supplies necessary. Do you feel like you need some leggings, dearest witchee? https://shopnatopia.com/collections/halloween-25 No thank you Dearest Witchee, I'll be in London shortly- anything specifically British you'd enjoy? This could be marmalade or tea or Marmite or gothy clothing or a Union Jack something or other. Literally anything- name it ! I do enjoy marmalade. Do you prefer things to be individually wrapped so you can open them when you need a boost, or is putting them in one box unwrapped okay? Whatever is good for you. I personally will be wrapping some things and leaving others unwrapped. I’m about to make myself an order here, and was wondering if anything might also appeal to you, dearest of witchee’s https://www.etsy.com/shop/khallion. No, thanks Dearest witchee, is there anything here that catches your eye? https://ateliercoco-store.com/en-au No, thanks. Doesn't look like they are shipping to US anyway. Interested in any of these? Halloween 2025 – Witch Baby Soap Maybe Pumpkin and Pistachio hand salve or here MoonaLisa: A Supernatural Clean Sample pack, Bohemian Velvet Lounge There are artists that sell tattoo passes, so that you can legitimately have their work tattooed. Is there anyone that you would potentially like such a pass for? No thank you. Obvious question of whether you would like anything from the new Lunacy update (Black Butterfly Moon, etc.)? https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-tag/september-2025-lunacy/ Decants would be welcome of A Dance to the Music of Time, Black Currant and Black Rose Lotion, Strangled on Midsummer's Eve

Post-Update: Forum Issues Read m Yule Cat Are there any currently available BPAL scents that you would love a bottle of? Fir needle, Ivy Leaves, Moss and Patchouli, Teenagering, Lightening Strikes Cinema, Enchanted Cellar with Animals, Nocturnal witches scene. Is there anything you're eyeing from Paintbox Soapworks' winter update? Golden Orb perfume or sorbetto, Sugar on Snow Sorbetto Would you like anything from Cellar Door (they do soaps and candles)? No thanks Anything of interest from Luvmilk? (Milky Monday, their version of Black Friday, is on 11/7!) I have never tried them. Maybe Timid Kitten Milk Bath, Divine Beast Milk Bath Crocheted Granny shawl. Yes or No? Preferred colors? (this one is pressing, I would need to start soon) Yes that would be lovely. Colors? Deep greens, grey, black 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. I'd love to try TKO Microwave bowl cozy? Yes I could use that at work. Are you interested in boozy homemade fruitcake? Normally I would say yes, but I am doing Keto right now and would be too tempted.  How about booze itself, specifically, moonshine whiskey infused with spices and fruits? I don't really drink. 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. Same keto response LOL Interested in anything from Odins Daughter? No thanks My favorite incense store is Good Earth Mercantile, any interest for an incense from them? I didn't see anything that jumped out at me. Are you a cotton candy fan? Would anything from Chocolate Storybook interest you? No, thanks. I'm not allowed sugar right now otherwise I would be all over it! Body Scrubs from CarolinaOrganicsSC are AHHHHMAZING! Any interest? Yes, I favorited a few things and they are now on my etsy favorites. House of MetalWorks has super cute and dainty gold-filled stacking rings in my price range! If this interests you, include ring size! Favorited something on my etsy favorites. I think my ring size is a 9 due to my big arthritic knuckles. What size do you typically wear in sweaters/sweatshirts? S = 4 M = 6  L = 8/10 XL = 12 1XL - 14/16  2XL - 18/20 3XL - 22 4XL - 24  Depending on how the sizing runs I am a L or XL. If things are true to size L, if they run small XL because I like a baggy fit. Several questionnaires mention joy in receiving homemade baked goods. What are your favorite holiday baked goods? Cookies, Cakes, Fudge? Other?  Oh dear, still the keto diet. I can do dark chocolate on its own if it is nearly 100%, there is actually one that I have had that is 100% cacao and no sugar. I would never ask my match to attempt a keto cookie or anything unless they want to. I do have some mixes from Lakanto on my Amazon wishlist that are Keto and made with monkfruit. I could do the assembly, lol. Are you into peanut butter cookies? If yes, would you enjoy them with creamy or crunchy PB? Oh goodness, this diet is a lot of trouble during a swap! See above answer. Nother Question: I am thinking of making flavored sugar. What are flavors you would NOT enjoy out the following: No sugar for me thanks.  Lavender Rose Lemon Orange Vanilla Thyme Ginger Spice Coffee? Yes, dark roast preferred. Haus of Gloi's Yule is up, fancy anything? Longwinter's Nap powder Teeturtle has some adorable designs and their t-shirts often go on sale. Any designs that appeal? Is anyone else here an Erin Morgenstern fan?? https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/711842/the-phantomwise-tarot-by-erin-morgenstern/ No thank you. Anything from the Lunacy You are eyeballing? https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-tag/late-october-2022/?fbclid=IwAR3OzugxYK-rNtwgJBFwUfRSp_jneUcOmEgAfwRdgC_dlM0tRESwX244rqM. No thank you. Nothing strikes me.

Tried a decant of this. In the imp it is heavy pistachio with cherryish undertones. In the imp, I really like it. It's definately pistachio ice cream. Unfortunately, on me the pistachio disappearred and left me with a vanilla cream. I have tried pistachio scents from another house and the same thing happenned. I wish the pistachio stayed strong through the dry down. It makes me hungry to sniff it.

I just have to start this ....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?_kx=wJHWHTN2OASY0k5c5ZR301X0_-q-0iaglCjL2XDqO-E%3D.SE8AhX The Haunted Woods or Holland Hard Cider soaps look nice. If you'd like handmade knit items, are you good with soft wools or do you prefer acrylic only? No thanks, I'm in FL. The only thing I could probably make use of is socks. Are there any items you'd love for fall/halloweenie? (Ie mittens, hat, fingerless mitts, cowl, legwarmers) Maybe socks? Anyone fancying the new Paintbox Soapworks or Witch Baby Soap Halloween launches? From PBSW- sorbettos in either What the Moon Brings or September. 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 thanks. What are some OCYL brands you've been wanting to dabble in? I have dabbled, pretty unsuccessfully. I do like Mr. Hex for LUSH dupes and incense. I am working on making bath bombs. Would you be willing to try my creations? How about wax tarts? What type of scents do you favor? My own question, but if you make them I would love to try yours too. What kinds of home smell good things do you like? (I.e. incense, candles, wax melts, felt scent balls, essential oils, linen spray). Incense and wax melts. My question for the fellow pumpkins would you like anything from the bath and bodyworks Halloween line? ? Yes, sure. I'd like hand soap or body wash in any of the following: Spiced Apricot Cider, Marshmallow Fireside, Sweater Weather, Wicked Vanilla Woods. I also think the pocket bac holders in Pumpkin Milkshake and Glow in the dark black cat are adorable. Do you have any interest in spooky squishmallows? No thanks. Of the recent releases YES!!!! these - Vanilla cream, pistachio and macadamia and Butternut squash, patchouli and green fig. And would you enjoy spooky stationary? Sure, although I am way behind on my letter writing. Sorry penpals! 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'm not witchy. When you have a distinct preference for one holiday over another, What are some cross over items that actually work for both? I love fall and Halloween equally. Pumpkins are a cross over item for me. One question (that is actually several questions) -- Local honey? Infused/flavored honey? Local infused/flavored honey with Southwest notes (jalapeno, other pepper, mesquite, acacia)? Yes to honey with chilis or jalepenos Does anything from JiJi Knight spark your interest? https://jijiknight.com/ No thank you. 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?...? No thank you. Dang (or good!), another serious question -- Shampoo and/or conditioner bars and if so, for what type of hair (dry, fine, oily, curly, normal)? YES! I love LUSH's shampoo bars but have been really interested in trying a conditioner bar from them or another brand. My hair is a little dry so I like extra conditioning. Very interested in whether a conditioner bar would work. I just got the email that the Ectogasm Halloween Collection is live. Does anything interest you? https://www.ectogasm.net/collections/halloween No thanks, I don't wear pins 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? I can handle ALL the heat, bring it on! 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! No, thank you. Hello all, I have a question. I make things from old sweaters. If I were to make you a set of arm warmers/ fingerless mitts, what color(s) & style would you like? Sorry, I live in FL and can't really use them. Homemade canned and baked and concocted goodies? Any aversions? YES!!!! Anything, I'm game. If I could make you some of my fudge, what would you prefer? I would love either plain chocolate or penuche or peanut butter/Chocolate Are you open to trying different indie perfume houses if I find a scent that I think you'd enjoy? Sure, although don't go out and buy it, I have too much perfume and don't need any more really. But if you need to destash, that's different. 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!) OMG Halloween Dog stickers would be awesome, or Halloween Cats or just Halloween 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) This would be fantastic! My top 5 would be The Schoolhouse, Raspberry Sufganiyot, Antique Lace, Samhain, Cthulhu. 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)??? No thank you, but have fun! Would you like any decor from Say Target, Homewood, or William and Sonoma? Not really, I have very little space for decor (small house) I am going to Dragon Con for the first time! Which of these BPALs do you want? https://us4.campaign-archive.com/?u=50266fc02a3b75767125e0ed2&id=9bf4d797e8. None, thanks. Gotta use up what I have!!! Would you like a project bag. I have a few already so I am good, thanks - if so, but you don't see fabric you like maybe link to some photos of fabric you like? - we can do small box bags or pencil / cosmetic / notions type bags too. or with a drawstring on top instead of a zipper. - you don't HAVE to use them just for knitting/crochet, you can use them for cross stitch or even not as project bags. If you are a yarnie, are you interested in a ceramic yarn bowl? I have an extra Harry Potter (I know, I know) one from Lennymud that I bought before the whole JKR debacle and it didn't profit her in any form anyway. I believe it's Gryffindor themed. Not a yarnie. If you are a yarnie, I'd love to gift some yarn from my stash so give me an idea of colors / weight / material / yardage you'd like. Are you interested in trying some of our "thunder butter"? It's like tiger balm or icy hot, but with herbs, beeswax, cayenne or ghost pepper, menthol, wintergreen. cbd version or no? OMG YES All day everyday!

Rose petal or vanilla bean sound delicious Pumpkin bread or zucchini bread? How about blueberry zucchini bread with a lemon glaze? Either pumpkin or zucchini. 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. Sure, I would try it. Format for tea? e.g. teabag vs loose Either Do you like spooky themed tights? If so, what are your measurements? No, thanks Pls post your book wishlist!

No, but always interested in jarred fruit, jams jellies etc. Would you be interested in a tumbler like these? If so, what theme would you like it to be? Glitter or no glitter?

What about ribbon remnants? Colors/textures? Don't really need any thanks Would you be interested in any skincare items? Anything you would not want?

New question: Is anyone else interested in the latest Sphere & Sundry release? https://sphereandsundry.com/offerings/bpals-of-exalted-venus-ii/ Or other S&S offerings? No thanks 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. Sounds a little too strong for me Any interest in spooky shape wax melts in your favorite candle scents? (What are your favorite candle scents?) Yes, I use a lot of wax melts. Anything seasonal that is very strongly scented. I hate when I put an entire package of melts in the warmer and I can't smell anything! How about lotion bars? No thanks, I have some. 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!)

Leo 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/ I love the style but I don't wear pins or earrings. 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?

No thanks oooh I am reviewing my switch witch help answers from 2017 and was reminded of Lush--there used to be a big Lushie/BPALista crossover at one point. Is that still the case?

I like sock dreams but have 2 large drawers of socks already I have been buying soap from https://rockytopsoap.com for at least a decade as they are unscented and less likely to affect which perfume I pull out.... I realize they are not colored and swirly and as pretty but they tend to be super hydrating and luxurious. Do you have any interest in these? I prefer scented products. 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 don't really have any experience with them and I got overwhelmed when I looked so I guess not.

Thanks for keeping track of all of these!!

Sorry, I totally posted in the wrong place ?

This. Is. So. Lovely. My favorite of the Winter scents. Now the reviews will have me looking for Hag Grey hair gloss.

Holy smoke!!! I amped the heck out of the smoke note on this as well. To the point that I did not smell anything else. Pity since it sounds lovely on some of you

Oh dear, Ugh. I'm not getting grass or drywall. Kind of moldy vomit in a basement. But I knew this one was going to be unique, and odd, and luckily I only got a decant to have "the experience"

One of my very favorite TALs. Great for relaxation and sleep. Sweet lavender that is not it's usual astringent self but soft and sweet in a cushion of vanilla marshmallows. I bought 3 bottles!

I hesitated ordering a decant of this because of the blackberry and for me it is indeed too much blackberry. I would have loved dead leaves and pine needles alone. A bit too sweet for me. Will pass it on

I too, have been adding this to my homemade cleaner and to my floor wash and am afraid I am going to run out of this quickly. I wish more was available, I would stock up for sure. Clean and herbal and great for doing a physical and spiritual cleansing of your space.

This was my favorite Weenie but it does have a spring vibe. I love the lab's dandelion note so much!

Here's a little help for my book swap buddy Top books I am looking to read 1. Hunger Games Book 2- Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins 2. Hunger Games Book 3-Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins 3. Look beyond the Scars by Connie Hanagan Used books strongly preferred as I do not collect, I read and then pass them along to be read by someone else.

1. $20 in Walgreens- In reality probably a prescription but ok, If I'm supposed to blow it on myself? Maybe some weird color sinful nailpolish for the toes, a paperback (some kind of forensic crime stuff like Patricia Cornwell, Jonathan Kellerman, Dean Koontz maybe). tea if they had something interesting, ans a diet coke with lime. 2. knitting? No thank you anyway unless it is a mini afghan or blanket to cover up with while sitting on the sofa but that is too big of a project. If someone is really ambitious, the colors would be like chocolate brown beige and green or something like that. Spices, yes if it is something really unique, but I have a very small kitchen and cupboards unfortunately. 4. Mug? No thanks I am all set (see above small kitchen issue) 5. Regional food or drink? YES, I can't think of anything specific but I love trying new things and would love something that is special in my foxes area. Course if I fell in love with it, I might bug you to get me more -I'd pay for it of course. I do love Good Earth tea in decaf original and sometimes I can't buy it around here. 6. Christmas tree- Yes I have an artificial one because I don't like to kill trees to make them an adornment, I think they look perfectly lovely outside adorning nature like they are supposed to :hippie: Well back to the fake tree. I am Jewish and my husband and step daughter are Catholic so its a mix I have lots of blue and silver ornaments plus the usual Christmas stuff. Would I like an ornament from my fox? Yes, especially if he or she were crafty and made it for me. 7. Am I squicked out by homemade goodies? No, I can't actually see if your kitchen is filthy , so it doesn't bother me. Just kidding. No I buy edibles from etsy too so it is cool, BUT I am really seriously trying to lose weight so if it were like a fat free baked good full of flax seed or something, or tea or coffee. I may have small kitchen cupboards but they are stuffed with coffee and tea Love love love. So that might be a better "Sweet treat" for me. See below re: types 8. Holiday serving bowls, platters etc. Yeah sure and I hope my bunny wants some too cuz I know where to get some really nice ones. 9. Handmade sugar scrub-Sure. I do make them myself but would still love something my fox gave me, I do not like them very oily though. The ones I make are foaming type, I don't like greasy ones. 10. Candles-Oh sure or tarts. Bath and Body works always has nice holiday scents and those cute little minis but I burn tarts alot too. I also make them out of BPAL-YUM 11. Soap-Yeah I make that too-pretty crafty I am, but if you make your own I would love to try it. I am also getting hooked on villianess-my favorite is the bathory one. 12. Socks/Slippers Socks yes but I have a whole drawer full. Slippers no. Sock dreams. Not so much my legs are pretty um thick and they dont always fit so well. 13. Coffee and Tea Hell yes please. Why don't we have a tea icon? I love coffee (not decaf) in flavors like chocolate raspberry, hazelnut, caramel, oh god just about any flavor EXCEPT the liquor flavored ones like Irish Cream-Gross Tea-herbal, fruit tisanes, and Rooibos. Black and green tea makes me nauseous for some odd reason. White tea to me has no flavor I actually have tea on my BPAL wishlist. I Adore tea Actually my 3 favorite beverages are tea coffee and water. 14. Nailpolish-Well not necessary I have tons of colors for my toes and I have been using the Red Carpet Manicure Gel System from Ulta and the polishes are like $10 and I wouldn't expect anyone to spend that much. Sally's also has a system and theirs are even more expensive. 15. Obsessive Compulsive cosmetics-Love the name but am not even going to look because I have enough makeup to last the rest of my life-no lie. 16. Cocoa Pink-yes I am sure I could find stuff to love there. This forum keeps enabling new addictions in me. 17. What if I found $50 on the floor and had to make a lab order? Well I kinda did. I just sold some stuff that was cluttering up the closet and made $50. I am going to order Calavera Catrina. Maybe I would add a back up of October 2011-lovely. Oh or BPTP UGH massage oil , 18. DVDs? No, Only ones I would love are blueray 3D, course I don't expect my fox to buy me one of those they are so expensive but sometimes a DVD comes with both and if you don't have a 3D TV, well then I wouldn't say no , Especially to Disney ones and Horror 19. LUSH-not so overly impressed with them, I am more of a Villianess girl. 20. Paintbox Soapworks-maybe I would have to look at the scents. Ok I looked and bought see below 21. Kids? I have an almost 11 year old step daughter a dog and a cat. The animals need nothing but if you wanted to toss something christmassy in for the kid, I'm sure she would love it. 22. Comics? Superheroes? Never Ever, not in a million years 23. Honey, Yum especially if it is flavored. Beeswax is good in candle form 24. Trader Joes? Don't have any here sadly enough. 25. Paintbox soap works? Ok now that I have checked the store out YES and I just made an order yippee, The ones with * I already ordered (not that I would turn down more) Yuletide Mariner * Dead leaves on the dirty ground* Pants relief elixer* Silken Peony. 26. Answering my own questions Weenies still to order? Yes Calavera Catrina but I will be ordering it myself Update ORDERED 27. Away for part of the round? Yes I will be out of the country late Nov/early dec and will likely send my box out before I go so it is not late 28, Bartering on Etsy? Yeah I am a confirmed tradeaholic. Everything in my shop (see signature) is up for trade. I will be restocking more soon as we just had a big halloween swap 29. Books? My witchee turned me on to the hunger games. I finished the first book and am dying to read the second and third Catching Fire and Mockingjay 30. Christmas Music-no thanks I have more than I need. 31. Rose flavor/mastic-Nah not really, thanks anyway 32. Spicy food tolerance is extremely high I love spicy foods but please don't send chicken wings 33. Giftcard- I would love a giftcard from Heartsy, Villainess, Adagio Tea, SBS tea (if they have them) , Micheals, Publix, Walmart 34. Fav color GREEN 35. Fav gemstone? Not really? I like black, grey, green, amber, colors. Oh I like pearls. Like Levian chocolate diamonds and pearls, but unless my Fox's helper snowshoe bunny is robber rabbit, I sure don't expect any 36. Favorite animal? Well I guess there are categories to live with and share my home-cats hands down. I have a wonderful cat and my step daughter has a stoooooopid dog who is right now as we speak chewing on the wall. to look at-bluebirds, ducks, baby anythings, owls, squirrels and chipmunks to touch-bunnies, nothing is as soft as a bunny but they can be so fraidy of people AND goats, I love goats and when I retire and move to Cuba, I am going to have a goat and milk it and make cheese. That is my retirement plan. and no I'm not kidding. 37.Phobias? Umm kind of a weird question, no? If I say yes, are you going to get me a gift certificate for therapy? I know I'm a smart ass. 38. Reveal? Yes Please, I hate it when they don't reveal 39. Cuddly Characters-No, not really thanks 40. Charity Gifts? Sure, I'm a Social Worker, so why not? As long as it is legit. 41. Two timing tarts-let me check it out and get back to ya. 42. Holiday Recipes? No, my family won't eat anything new or with vegetables (and I am so TEAM VEGGIE all the way) 43. Used Books? YESSSSSSSS I prefer them to new ones really. Paperbackswap is an awesome website!!! 44. Nerd? What subject? YESSS I am a total nerd anyway. Science is fascinating, but really anything to do with my work, like psychiatry, psychology is awesome. I am especially into reading autobiographies of persons with mental illness. Right now I am reading "Nowhere Near Normal" by Traci Foust, which is an awesomely hilarious book for anyone to read. 45. BPTP candles? Oh God, I just need to stay away from there too, since I belong to team Spend All Money 46. Lemon? Yes love lemon although not sure what you do with lemon curd? Put on toast? Lemon marmelade sounds delicious. 47. Pink? No, GREEN 48. Oils and vinegar? no thanks, I have a few. 49. Calendar-Nah In my job we have lots of funeral home people always giving them to us 50.Holiday cookies? Well I always think of sugar and gingerbread or molasses. Someone mentioned cardamom, that sounds great. I am not big on anise. Last year I made some kind of cranberry orange that were good. I usually make sugar cookies with my step daughter-With LOTS of sprinkles 51. Mittens? Oh, please no mittens 52. Crafty pursuits. Well yes, although I have so many types of crafts going on that my office looks like a Michaels warehouse. I have never met a craft I didn't like (ok knitting and crocheting because I cannot get the hang of it) I am terrible because I see things at crafts shows and examine them so I can go home and figure out how to make them. I had to give up making cold process soap because I moved to a smaller house. There are 2 things I was interested in trying. Felting-but I don't know how hard it is, if it is really hard then forget it. (and I think it is) Paper mache or clay-I am interesting in making birds like the ones on my Etsy wishlist, haven't had time to explore that-if my fox were to find any instructions or tutorials that would be cool as hell 53. Chocolate? I am really trying to be good and diet, but if you must, the darker the better 54. Coin purses? I already have a few and never use them so no thanks 55. Yules? Luckily not much interested me. I did buy a bottle of A Wonderful Light. more craft stuff--Someone also mentioned terrariums-would love to make a moss terrarium too. I keep trying to swap for one on Etsy but the terrarium people don't want my stuff 56, Soap Dish-yessss maybe something bamboo or anything, the kind that drains the soap 57. Harry Potter? NOOOOOOO 58. Knitted? Again only like an afghan or lap blanket. too hot for anything else November 12th chile, yay or nay? (Example: I had a delicious dark chocolate bar the other day that had dried cherries and red chile....YUM! There are local cookies here that are shortbread type with chile. And of course, in NM we are famous for our chile ristras which are mostly decorative (though usually you could use the dried chiles if you wanted to).) I like spicy so I would try it sure November 11th Let's talk about fruit! Do you like dried fruit or h ate it? Like some but not others? I love dried fruits all except Mango, the less sugar the better, but YUM How do you feel about cherries? Prefer the sweet or tart versions? Dried? Jam? Salsa? Hot sauce? BBQ sauce? I like cherries both sweet and tart and dried and Jam Any Jam, hot sauce yes, BBQ so so What is your general philosophy about patterns for accessories such as socks, scarves, and tights? Do you like solids? Stripes? Polka dots? Weird patterns like harlequin-type stuff? Any of the above? Um socks like grey or black, tights would have to be for women with extra huge thighs November 10th Are there any Yules from *PAST* years that you're interested in trying? Including past winter inquisitions? Gingerbread Poppet ovember 9th Sooo. Yules. Those just happened. What are you interested in, Bunny? I ordered A wonderful light, but would love a decant of pumpkin masala

How desperate are you for it? Not at all thanks Going back to the question about winter wear, are there any colors you would prefer not to have? No winter wear but colors for stuff-GREEN is my favorite also Grey and black, burgundy, dark purple October 14th Do you like scary books? What's the best/scariest thing you've ever read? Yes, but what is scary to me is not horror per se. I was about 8 years old and read The Minds of Billy Milligan. I was utterly convinced for awhile that I had what was then called Multiple personality disorder. God, someone should have screened my reading list So I was at Uwajimaya the other day and saw Earl Grey Tea Chocolate and Cinnamon Chocolate. If you were my Witchee, would you be interested in trying something like that? Yup although I shouldn't be. Does it come in fat and sugar free?

October 6th Do you like liquorice? If so, hard or soft? Sweet or salt? Normally salted or so salt it pulls your face into a fishy shape? And which shapes do you like?
