Switch Witch 2023
What about seasonal treats from Trader Joe's? I have one local to me so I've got this covered, thanks.
I make gluten-free biscotti this time of year, lemon and also cocoa varieties: does this sound good to you? Sure. When I have cookies, I like crispy ones to dunk in coffee or tea.
Would you like me to make a music mix for you? I kick it old school with a burned CD. If you're into this, name at least 3 to 5 genres of music you already love, or are interested to explore more of! Sorry no. I do not currently have a way to play cds. 8/19 f you are a person who appreciates tarot and oracle decks, do you have a strong preference about receiving new ones vs gently/barely used? I think that I need to focus on getting better with the ones I have. I don't want to start over with a new one right now. Are you a Studio Ghibli fan, and if so, what are your feelings about fan made art featuring characters? I enjoy the movies, but not sure about fan art- sorry. Want anything from LUSH? Here's the link specifically to their Halloween drop (https://www.lush.com/us/en_us/c/halloween) BUT, feel free to peruse all of it. Ahh, Lush, always addictive. Here's what caught my eye: bubble lugosi bubble bar, Pumpkin crumble bubble bar, Pumpkin Spice bath bomb, Butterball, deep sleep, twilight bath bombs Haus of gloi- fave products are pumpkin butter & bubble scrub blood orange marshmallow Hex Pumpkin eater In the perfume- vanilla pear punch & dark fruit tea. Curious about the lavender chocolate one but not sure. Mutter museum- nah, not my thing NEW QUESTION: If you are so inclined, do you want or need any natural items or ingredients for spellwork that could be collected from forests, ocean, fields or stream? I also have access to oak gall ink and various other esoteric substances. I am so inclined & I've been away from my spellcraft for a while- as you know sometimes life gets in the way. I would love any things you would like to hunt for, find or otherwise collect. I do want to get back to my witchy self & this would encourage me. NEW QUESTIONS: *Are you a fan of the show Cobra Kai? Nope *Do you enjoy any of the scented items from Victoria's Secret? No. I'm not into their stuff *Would you be interested in receiving a silver locket with papyrus and herbs inside, as a protective amulet? Of course! Anything of interest from Cellar Door? (They have candles and soaps.) I love their Lavender Pumpkin soap, but have never tried the candle. Their apple scents are nice too. Basic Witch is nice too. 9/22 From previous questions you've answered, I know a lot about the teas you'd like from specific places, but I want to know your more general tea preferences. Black, green, white, rooibos, oolong, herbal? - Japan is particularly big on their green tea and hojicha (roasted green tea), any interest? - My partner has given me an extraordinary amount of rooibos from South Africa. It's amazing and I'd like to share, so would you like some? For me the best option is black tea- flavored or straight up, loose or bagged. Please no Green or Rooibos. despite being uk based I’m probably gonna have to make a torrid order because I fell in. Anything catch your eye while I’m doing it? The Bejeweled Bat barrette is cute
7 spooky nights swap - all my answers
Gnome Swap
I'll be back in Disney World next month- anything you might like from Epcot or Hollywood Studios? An enamel pin, Hocus Pocus or Marvel. Especially a Jeremy Renner or Benedict Cumberbatch. No idea what is at Hollywood studios, but I’m a good little nerd so, you can surprise me.
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 friend. This would be wonderful. I love things like this. I have a couple of “bug on a stick” plant stakes, but no mushrooms or leaves. Would you be interested in a decorative pillow or zippered pouch featuring a gnomely figure? like this? Not this one. or a little coin purse? Not this one. or please tell me to make this because oh my gods... OH MY GOSH, IT HAS A BIRD NEST, YES PLEASE THIS IS FREAKING ADORABLE. I have several bird nests made in different techniques on my living room bookcase. Perhaps swap out the pink for any form of blue or purple? I have an angora rabbit and she's currently molting. Would you like rabbit fur for spinning, felting, or other crafty uses? Ooh that would be lovely. In the spring when I can work outside, I’ll be back continuing to perfect my nuno felting skills. It would be fun to see how bunny fur works. Do you need any spices? Technically yes, but it’s the basic cinnamon I’m out of, so that will be resolved shortly. This said, if you have or make some regional blend, I’d love to try it. Especially if it plays well with tofu & comes with your favorite recipe. Gnome wearables? Would love a pair of socks, especially if there are mushrooms/toadstools. Haus of Gloi Valentine goodies - My favorite products of theirs are the bubble scrub & the pumpkin seed lotion. Of the valentine scents I like the sound of Epicurean, Superfreak, or Come Hither. The Blackcurrant & champagne butterball sounds like a nice soak with an audio book & some sparkling wine (okay cheap prosecco) Moonalisa Feb drop - If someone were shopping on my behalf, I find myself craving lavenders & vanillas of late. Lavender Fields, Lavender Shortbread Lavender Love. From the vanillas Salome's Secret, maybe Amber Vanilla. Nocturne Alchemy Valentine drop have loads of musk, but these sound nice to try: Crystalline #2 Encens Vanille Posiedens Vanilla Cheesecake Be my valentine '23 What is your favorite animal? Otters, Cats of all sizes/species, Owls, Ravens, bats Is there anything you would love from San Diego? Not a clue.
2022 - 13 Nights of Halloween bonus Qs
29. Do you have fur kids and would they like treats as well?? I have 5 furkids of the feline flavor - Mooch, Gytha, Jade, Molly, & the baby (literally) Vimes. They love random feathers you find in your yard (they smell like birdie, aka lunch) & catnip, & crinkle balls. 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. Yes would love them, especially chocolate chai. 31. Any interest in spooky shape wax melts in your favorite candle scents? (What are your favorite candle scents?) I do not have a melter, I use candles 32. How about lotion bars? Yes, I love little ones I can put in a knitting bag. 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 adore their pumpkin pie chai & have drunk up my stash of last year,s version. Mocha chai, violet cream & Pan Galactic gargle blaster also piqued my curiosity. Also, there is one called Toast & Tea that I had a sample of that was delicious. (not sure if it was a seasonal) 34. Do you need any BPAL storage? Bottles? Imps? I have a gorgeous rack hubby made me for the bottles. I’m absolutely crap at storing imps & need an intervention, or at least a way to better store them. Suggestions are welcome. 35. Does anything catch your eye from my local tea purveyors? https://www.fridaytea.com/ (I hope they make more Womb of Doom soon!) Pumpkin chai, French cookie, caramel apple blacktea or https: //perennialtearoom.com/ almond sugar cookie 36. Can you use a mug? What kind/size do you like? I mostly use 16-18 oz mugs. Most of mine are hand thrown & collected over a long time. There are also a bunch of nerdy Star Trek ones 37. One of my favorite Etsy chandlers is having a sale, anything catch your feathery fancy? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TeresaLynnsSimpleLux Any of the autumn ones that do not include smoke/ember notes. There is a vanilla & black currant one in the discontinued/sale area that would be lovely. 38. NEW AND TIME-SENSITIVE QUESTION!
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 So many this year have musk notes I can’t wear. Vintage Witch or Conjuring with the Witch might be good 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 make red & pink currant jams, but black currant or Blood orange would be awesome. 40. For decor what general Halloween style is preferred? Traditional, cute spooky, dark and gothic, horror, etc? More descriptive the better!! Vintage witchy, Crows, Ravens, Owls, Bats, mysterious apothecary jars with ancient labels. I love art deco & art nouveau Halloween designs. Not Cute or cartoony. 41. (please read in thread as it's rather long) Are you interested in anything from Solstice Scents? https://www.solsticescents.com - Estate Lavender, Estate Vanilla, Lavender Vanilla 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? If you have a plan, please number them.
This is Halloween - bonus questions & assorted condiments
What are some OCYL brands you've been wanting to dabble in? I love PBSW, House of Gloi, NA. I've never tried Witch Baby & there's one discussed above that sounds amazing.
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? I love bath bombs, especially lavender based blends or something with lots of moisturizer like that little but potent one from Lush - I think it's called Butterball. I do not do wax tarts – no thingy to melt them with.
What kinds of home smell good things do you like? (I.e. incense, candles, wax melts, felt scent balls, essential oils, linen spray) Candles or linen spray mostly. I’ve never tried felt scent balls. I don’t use wax melts & incense only rarely.
My question for the fellow pumpkins would you like anything from the bath and bodyworks Halloween line? 🤔 My favorite thing from there tends to be the pump soaps to put by the sink, so maybe one of those. The pumpkin cupcake scent sounds fun. Do you have any interest in spooky squishmallows? Nope, no space for them. And would you enjoy spooky stationary? Sure. 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? Nothing negative, positive only. When you have a distinct preference for one holiday over another, What are some cross over items that actually work for both? Autumnal things work for all the various holidays of the season. Bath stuff works for all holidays. Scented candles work for the whole season. 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!I I love local or infused honeys. I can’t have a lot of sugar & things like that give a flavorful bang for the carb points. Does anything from JiJi Knight spark your interest? https://jijiknight.com/ Cute, but not my style 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?...? We stream all that stuff these days. Dang (or good!), another serious question -- Shampoo and/or conditioner bars and if so, for what type of hair (dry, fine, oily, curly, normal)? The only ones I ever tried were the Tri-coconut & Jungle from Lush. Something similar to those would work, but please watch the scent profile. I just got the email that the Ectogasm Halloween Collection is live. Does anything interest you? Carpe Noctem Witch Hat Enamel Pin in Silver, Jack-O-Lantern Collar Pin Set - Silver & Black Would love the Poes before Hoes one, but it’s sold out. Or the Kitty with Evil as Heck, also sold out. 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 order my Thai food medium in most places. I use a lot of spicy ingredients. Just got a huge package of Medium Hatch Chili powder. Ghost & Reaper are a bit over my top end. Is there something you collect that perhaps you'd enjoy a Disney version of (tea, socks, enamel pins, plushies etc etc etc)??? Would love enamel pins from Disney with Halloween motifs! Would you like any decor from Say Target, Homewood, or William and Sonoma? Omg, the owl dish towels at William Sonoma are glorious. The wee little Pumpkin Waffle iron is adorable too. Nothing at Target. Only thing in the Homegoods site I saw was a canister that says Good Witch ( I'd use it for tea storage) 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 Nope, I'm not hugely into Peach& found 2 in last years, so I'm good But, I am going to Dragon Con this weekend. Is there anything you would like? Lab wise or just general geekery If you run across something Edgar Allen Poe,that would be cool. Or STTNG (Jean Luc Picard is planned for my next husband) Would you be interested in a bag like we sell in our etsy shop? https://twinklentwilight.etsy.com I have 3 T&T bags already 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 ..... Last weekend when I was away at Faire, my Lennymud Trex Can't Knit bowl got broken by the cats (pout), but I really don't do HP. 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. Purple is always good, anything over lace weight 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? No thank you. I need to inventory our canned goods but do you like things like, dried apples or pears, blackberry jam, huckleberry jam The ones I left above are the ones I love, but don't make How about alcoholic things like rose petal liqueur, lavender vanilla bean liqueur, various flavors of mead (chocolate orange, strawberry mango, whatever my son is making)? Chocolate orange mead?!? Yes please. Pumpkin bread or zucchini bread? How about blueberry zucchini bread with a lemon glaze? Any are good, but pumpkin is a fave. 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. Hibiscus would be lovely Format for tea? e.g. teabag vs loose Either is fine Do you like spooky themed tights? If so, what are your measurements? Love spooky tights! In Snag brand I wear an F(regular height, not the short F) Pls post your book wishlist!. My book list is in my survey. That said I'm finishing book 2 of the Rosie O'Grady Paranormal Bar series & would love more of them. 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 have very little wall space available, but, spooky& Autmnal are good Do you like rocks/gemstone jewelry? Prefer polished/smooth rocks or raw/rough? Any favorite stones, rocks, colors that you'd like? I love rocks & crystals, either as a rock or a pendant. Smooth are nicer to play with & hold. Fluorite, amethyst, & Lapis are faves. Moss agate is always cool too. and now a new one: Any interest in the August releases that got announced today? https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-tag/august-2022/ Lavender Buttercream Perfume Oil 1st choice Vanilla Cream, Pistachio, and Macadamia Perfume Oil Columns of the Temple of Neptune at Paestum Perfume Oil- sounds interesting, maybe an imp?. 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/ Yes! I love tea & have not tried this company. Any of these would be lovely to try. Low Country, Passage, Cabaret, Dark Iris, Metropolitan, Black Metallic, Dirty Chai, Leatherbound 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? Something Autmnal to put on my altar. 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? I have a lot of bar soap, but if you see one with pumpkin & lavender together ( like the PBSW scent from last fall that did not return this year) 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? No thank you. 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 love ribbons. I make them into bookmarks, so shorter lengths like 8 or 9 inches are okay. Purple, green, black, silver are faves. Leafy motifs or weenies are great. Have you ever been to Soutache in Chicago? Most amazing ribbons, trims, & buttons. Would you be interested in any skincare items? Anything you would not want? Excellent handcream is always appreciated. My hands & nails are terrible. Skin on my face is changing ( umm,becoming old & I'm not sure what's going on yet.)- someone in the forum suggested a vitamin to help my nails & I started it about a week ago. Hopefully they will grow out nice 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? I did not see anything that grabbed me. 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. Yes, this would be fun. The chocolate chai sounds magnificent. Any interest in spooky shape wax melts in your favorite candle scents? (What are your favorite candle scents?) I do not have a wax melt burner thing. I use candles. How about lotion bars? Love them, especially small ones I can tuck into my project bags. 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 adore the pumpkin pie chai & have drunk up my stash of last years version. Mocha chai, violet cream & Pan Galactic gargle blaster also piqued my curiosity. 34. Do you need any BPAL storage? Bottles? Imps? I am crap at imp storage. If you have a plan that works, please share. 35. Does anything catch your eye from my local tea purveyors? https://www.fridaytea.com/ (I hope they make more Womb of Doom soon!) Pumpkin chai, French cookie, caramel apple black or https: tea,//perennialtearoom.com/ almond sugar cookie 36. Can you use a mug? What kind/size do you like? I use large mugs, like 16-18oz. Mostly hand thrown mugs I buy at art shows from potters, plus a few Star Trek Next Gen mugs. I've been looking for one with crows if that helps. 37. One of my favorite Etsy chandlers is having a sale, anything catch your feathery fancy? All the fall ones sound lovely except the smokey/embers ones, but there is a vanilla blackcurrant one listed in discontinued scents that sounds amazing. Arcana Craves halloween drop! Anything catching your eye? https://arcanacraves.com/ - nothing here really grabbed me, but I've never tried them. 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? I am a Leo, but not much into astrology. 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/ Seriously cute pins! I especially liked these: Trick or treat kitty pin- silver or copper
Witch hat pumpkin
Halloween Witch hat
Harvest Crow
3 broomstick
Witch boots vampire bat pin 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. Oooh, I want to wear polish, but my nails are crap. I started ( a week ago) on a skin/hair/nails supplement somebody on the forum recommended in the hopes of fixing my nails. The forest green one is stunning. Lush Halloween offerings- I adore blood orange & they have a Blood Orange Shower Gel that sounds lovely. Also the I want my Mummy bath Bomb sounds amazing . 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? No thank you I have lots of bar soap & there’s only a few with scents I covet. 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 So many this year have musk notes I can’t wear. Vintage Witch or Conjuring with the Witch might be good 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 prefer ground, as I don’t own a grinder. I use a French Press when I make coffee, so if you have a choice, go a wee bit coarser. 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 The things I liked are sold out. Are you interested in any art supplies? If so, what kinds and colours? I love art supplies, but I recently was gifted rather a lot. I’m trying to learn to do watercolors. If you know anything about watercolors, choose your favorite, most useful brush. I have lots of paint & paper, trying to learn what different brushes do.
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)? Cones or sticks. Something with vanilla or lavender perhaps? One of my favorite autumn scents from BPAL is Dead Leaves with Vanilla Incense.
Anything catch your eye from this super cool queer creepy-cute style UK artist? https://www.abprallen.co.uk/ Sorry but no – although I support all genders loving as they wish & being who they are, I don’t do pastel colors, even on accessories. Pls say more about your book preferences if you haven't already! Esp. regarding fiction. I’m a big fan of Urban Fantasy (please note, this is not paranormal romance). Seanan Mcguire & Kim Harrison. I’m currently 2 books into a series called Rosie O’Grady’s Paranormal Bar & Grill that I’m really enjoying & would love to get the next books in the series. I also really love Witchy Historical-ish novels. Louisa Morgan - I’ve read Secret History of Witches & the Great Witch of Brittany but would love another of hers. I’ve read all of the Deborah Harkness novels. Also, read the Witches of New York. Because clothing sizing is so notoriously random &&& my idea of cute may be entirely different from your cute... sock dreams? yea or nay? Anything in particular catch your eyes? Purr Off knee sock, Forest Mushroom crew, Starry Night knee sock, or Just a phase knee sock.
Summer Swap Sprite 2022
******************************************************************
Yes, the rumors are true- I'll be in Paris this summer! Tell me up to five things you'd be happy to get from there, including any specific teas from Dammann Freres, my favorite french tea shop! (https://www.dammann.fr/en/#) BLACK TEA - MON PETIT CHOCOLAT BLACK TEA - THÉ DES POÈTES BLACK TEA - 4 FRUITS ROUGES I once had teeny jars of Lavender Honey & Chestnut honey that were amazingly tasty. Odd ball idea – ribbons. I’ve read that they make gorgeous ribbons with woven patterns made on very old looms. A piece of ribbon for a lovely bookmark. Post cards of artwork Lucky you! Have a marvelous time. ********************************************************** I recently discovered Khamilaluna and plan to place an order soon to get a present for my roommate. Is there anything you'd like from them? Raspberry vanilla or Vanilla or Coconut lime sugar scrubs all sound like they would smell fantastic. **************************************************************** is there any small gift from mother nature that you'd like me see if I can source for you from old forests? Something with dried ferns perhaps? I am always on the lookout for stones with natural holes - AKA Hagstones. If you find one on your wanders, that would be fantastic. do you wear rings on all your fingers? how about a range smallest to largest? I wear them rarely, and only know one size for one finger - 10 If your Sprite were to gift you magical items or workings... a) Would you be interested in that? b) If so, what intention(s) would you appreciate most? Absolutely! I love special stones or an oil to dress candles with (maybe for creativity or energy to get stuff done) Would you be interested in a set of (rpg) dice? If so, what colors/aesthetic? I love purple sparkly iridescent dice, but I really don't game much anymore What's your favorite creature? Anything that relates to Otters, Owls, ravens, crows, or cats. Fantasy creatures - Griffins, dragons, Fae Do you like reading comics? If you haven't really read 'em, would you be interested in receiving a few that match your book genre preferences? I prefer the graphic novel format, but I don't read many comics these days. Best choice would be something Star Trek related. I'm headed to Puerto Rico in July - anything particularly interesting you would like from there? Yes! Spices with recipes (as long as vegetarian). I don't really know enough to suggest anything else. If you wander a beach & find beach glass, that would be cool. Would you be interested in receiving a small bottle of home infused whiskey aged from commercially produced moonshine? Any particular flavors you might enjoy (examples include orange chai or cinnamon chocolate or hot peppers)? Sure! Orange chai (especially with cardamom) or cinnamon chocolate sound lovely. Not so much for the chilis. Would you be interested in homemade shortbread that fits your flavor preferences? Crispy shortbread is my favorite cookie on Earth - all sorts of flavors. *************************************************************************************** 6/1/22 If your bday is during the swap, how are you planning to celebrate? My Birthday is August 12, so yes it is during the swap. I have not decided what I want to do yet on the actual day, but on the Saturday (8/13) I will be in a massive, nearly commercial kitchen with my besties doing what we call Canning Palooza doing big batch canning for 4 households. Tomatoes & pickles are the main themes. Likewise, how do you celebrate relevant spiritual holidays in this time period? Observing the seasons & progression of things in my garden. Bonfires in my newly built fire pit. Anything you want from the UK? TEA!!! In some prior Switch Witch, I was introduced to the fun blends from Bird & Blend in particular. Seeds, y/n? Yes please Are you interested in skincare/shampoo/conditioner? I am seeking the definitive hand cream, bonus if it's good for nails too. Are you interested in tights? If so, what thickness, style, and size? I love tights. Not sure I've seen different thicknesses of them, I guess mine are average weight & opaque, maybe a little less for the one lacy pair I have. Sizes are all over the place. I'm 5'9" & wear an 18-20 or 2X depending on the garment. Hips are 50" Style - full foot over footless, not into super brights, but other than that whatever you think is cool or pretty. Do you use tarot decks? Would you like to receive more - and if so, can you list the ones you already have? I would like to make better friends with the decks I have. Can you recommend a book or other resource to learning to read them? What do you think of the art on this website? https://www.printisdead.co.uk/ Oh My! So many pretty things. I loved the blue Witches Cat & the raven with the full moon. Some of the tarot ones with the moon are lovely too. Is loose leaf tea good, or do you prefer bagged? Loose is great, bagged is fine too & gets to go along when I have to go into the office. ********************************************************************************************** 6/2/22 PBSW Summer collection is live!!! Anything catch your eye? I didn't see anything this time ( I wish Fairy Tale was a year round scent) 6/4/22 It's farmers market season in town and I have loads of lovely local artisans to shop from.

Would you possibly like a simple hand embroidered piece? yes would love embroidery! If you would like this is there a simple favorite flower or summer symbol, like a bee? My fave is always a dragonfly. Bees & lavender flowers would be lovely What kind of sprite would you prefer? A ninja or to know the ID right away? I like both styles for different reasons I hope to not learn who you are until the very end 6/6/22 Are you ok with shunga label art (bpal?) yes I dye yarn. Is custom yarn of interest to you? - If so, colors? I have various weights of wool, sport and dk cotton, cotton thread in 3/2 and 5/2, and light fingering weight bamboo rayon that dyes like a dream Yes I am A total yarn hoar. That bamboo yarn sounds fantastic and should knit or crochet up lovely. I love purples, teals, greens, blues,saturated jewel tones are my faves.
My European travels are expanding! Anything you want from Portugal or Berlin??? I don't know enough about either place to know what to covet. This said, local spice blends with a recipe are always great souvenirs My friend makes cool art with garbage, is there anything here you might like?
https://www.garbageforgood.com/ sorry, not my thing. 6/8/22 Would you like items related to your astrological sign and if so what is it? I’m a Leo, but not much into astrological stuff 6/12/22 what do you think of plushies? Cute, but not really my thing Are there any Korean or Japanese food/craft/self-care items you would be interested in in receiving? Not really, I know nothing of Korean things & all I can think of from Japan is kit kats Is there anything for your garden or houseplants that you need, or would like (tiny, hand thrown cachepot for a prized astrophytum, etc.), or are you proudly black thumb and shun any plant that isn't resin? I am a gardener, specializing in weeds, columbines, & unusual berries (currants, gooseberries, saskatoons) How many books is too many books? LOL, funny funny girl. 6/13/22 I’m knitting up washcloths right now. Would you like some? Sure, but I’m a knitter & crocheter too & have a bunch.
any spices you need/want? I’m fleshing out a Penzey's order!! I have all the Penzeys, plus a shop I can go to in person. I love flavored salts though. your feelings on chocolate? Milk chocolate, Dark chocolate, White chocolate? with or without nuts? How about truffly goodness? Dark, nuts or truffle are always welcome. I’m diabetic, so I tend to spread a chocolate bar over a period of days (when I manage to restrict myself) 6/17/22 Do you want anything for your vehicle? Like bumper stickers or magnets? Nah, these days that stuff can get a car keyed. any interest in Japanese fashion-ish items? (kanzashi hair pins, and other things made form old kimono fabric, fans, tenugui, etc?) Hair pins are always fun. Smallish zipper bags with kimono fabric are cool (ie notions bag for various project bags) 6/21/22 Would you use cbd infused bath products? Like for pain /muscle relief? Or a bath that gets me high? First one, I’d try it, 2nd…not so much interested in a bath that gets me high.
What colors are your kitchen stuffs? Dark blues & greens, occasional pop of purple. Lots of wood tools - spoons & spatulas & such
If I knitted up a scarf/shawl/something in the wearable area what colors would you like and please be pretty specific so I can see if my yarn stash makes this feasible (or if @twilighteyes or @winterblizzard has stash that does and I can barter) k please thanks I love hand knits or crocheted projects that someone made for me. Dark greens would be wonderful. My standard colors are Purple, blues, greens, teals with black or grey as my neutrals. This said, I have very little in the way of greens despite liking them so much. —->. One big box or a couple starting now?? Whatever works for you is fine. How close to the final deadline would you prefer to receive your package? Should we try to squeak as close to August 31st as humanly possible, or would it be okay to send the package earlier? Well, it does not need to be that close to the end date. My birthday is a couple of weeks before that, so earlier is just fine. 6/22/22 I am afraid to send chocolate in this heat. What other things might you enjoy? TEA! Especially with flavors to make fun iced tea for summer (berries & fruity flavors as opposed to spicy, chai like flavors). Coffee is good too. Gourmet lollipops? Handmade Marshmallows (not by me LOL)? Flavored cotton candy? other ideas? Not so much on these sweets do you have any reservations about wearing leather, like in an accessory?? Nope, I’m a vegetarian, not a vegan. I used to work in a leather booth at Ren Fest. I adore leather accessories. So I took a "viking knitting" class (which is really wire weaving) and can now make necklaces and bracelets. Would you be interested in either one? YES IF SO What color wire would you like? (silver, gold, copper, blue, purple, yellow, green orange, black, turquoise, pink, so many colors.) I have THIS PACK among others. What length would you want (on either or both?) What kind of fasteners do you like best (lobster claw, toggle clasp, magnetic?) and color of fasteners? (silver, gunmetal, copper, gold?) - some of the toggle clasps come in cool shapes. Do you think a larger chunky one like a torc or a slimmer one? I can draw the wire down to different sizes with my draw plate. How very cool! Hell yes, I would love a piece of this kind of work. Purple or Purple + black or silver. My necklace length is 20 or 22”, nice secure lobster claw clasp (I once lost a beloved necklace that had a toggle clasp). The torc is stunning, but I can’t wear chokers.
13 nights of Halloween Bonus Questions
I always go to my town's local Farmer's Market and they have booths selling things like candles, Gourmet Pickles, Flavored Oils and Vinegars, dog treats (like bones and animal feet), honey, and bath products. Would you like any of these things? I love flavored vinegars & oils. I just got a Persian lime olive oil for my birthday. Do you have a preference for numbered packages for each night of the swap vs randomly selecting from unlabeled goodies? I love the idea of my person curating an experience with numbered packages, but it's totally up to you. If you didn't say much about your reading preferences in your survey but would be interested in receiving books, can you elaborate a bit? I will gladly take print books, though I am also using Audible a lot. Urban Fantasy is my fave. Major series I have read - Harry Dresden, Iron Druid, Kim Harrison. Open to new ones. I prefer paranormal mystery to paranormal romance Are you interested in cocktails, be it recipes, infusion kits, tools, supplies, specialty bitters? Oh very much so. I’ve been trying to decide if I should try to make bitters, or just keep finding already made ones. My very fave is Fee Bros Aztek Chocolate. (so if you know another chocolatey bitters, let me know) Is there something that you definitely prefer to not receive in any category (anything to avoid if you hadn't/forgotten to mention)? I'll update this as I think of it. Significant other? Yes, my Beloved & I have our 25th anniversary on 10/26/2021 if you are a knitter/crocheter, are you over on Ravelry? If so, what’s your user name there?? I’m on Rav & am Lawardrop Are there patterns/prints (more guidance than general Halloween/Autumn) you like for things or are you open to whatever I may find that speaks to me? Owls & Ravens & autumn leaves, Bare trees in front of a moon, bats, Halloween cats Any significant other or other special person? Like if I wanted to send you specialty cocoa for a date night, would that be OK? I am making up the cocoa part, but you get my drift. Sure, that would be lovely – FYI our 25th Anniversary is 10/26 & we are celebrating it on Oct 31 due to work stuff. I would love to request folks to to put their wish list in this thread and link in their signature. I would love to decant from my oils if I have any my person is looking for! I'll try to get this done If you happened to list some favorite fandoms earlier, would you also name your favorite character(s) from those fandoms? Jean Luc Picard is my future fantasy hubby, or at least a shore leave date. 10th Dr. is my favorite. Is there any fun stuff available for Star Trek Lower Decks? Such a fun show. I make homemade fire ciders, would that be of interest? Non-alcoholic and they are quite fiery. No thanks Are you interested in getting other BPAL items besides perfume, like hair gloss, bath oils or T-shirts? Bath oil would be fantastic. Y'all with furbabies... Are there any food allergies/sensitivities or quirks to know about? None I know of. Catnip, mousies (or any little stuffed thing) & ping pong balls are the big faves. how do you feel about (ethically sourced) butterfly / moth art (in a jar or shadowbox) Totally fine. Shadowbox preferred. We have a small collection on a wall in the Library. I may have preemptively picked out 2 Halloween-themed mugs with cute matching spoons, before I knew who my match was going to be! So I leave it to you: Bat, or Cat? Either is fine, but I don’t have a bat mug & do have several cat mugs. If you mentioned aversions to any common Halloween decor items (skeletons, witches, spiders, etc.), how encompassing is that? Specifically, is a "kid friendly" drawing of that same item on a piece of decor (like, a book cover or wrapping paper) still a preferred pass? All is fine on wrapping paper
Would you be interested in receiving a never-used eyeshadow palette from Nororiously Morbid (gothy colors) and/or a never-used eyeshadow palette from Pretty Vulgar (romantic neutrals)? Not really – I so very rarely wear eye makeup. I live in Japan. Are you interested in anything specifically Japanese I could get for you here (doesn't necessarily have to be Halloween themed)? For example, are you a fan of the anime Demon Slayer and want merch? Are you interested in trying some fun kit-kat flavors? Do you need a new set of pretty chopsticks? I love the fun kit kat flavors – Is it true there is a chestnut one? Chocolate Orange is a favorite too. Ooh, Purple chopsticks would be lovely Are there patterns/prints (more guidance than general Halloween/Autumn) you like for things or are you open to whatever I may find that speaks to me? Owls & Ravens & autumn leaves, Bare trees in front of a moon, bats, Halloween cats Any significant other or other special person? Like if I wanted to send you specialty cocoa for a date night, would that be OK? I am making up the cocoa part, but you get my drift.

Ping Pong balls, mousies (of any shape) & Catnip are the preferred toys - oh & crinkle balls, but I usually make those from crinkly mylar wrapping paper. how do you feel about (ethically sourced) butterfly / moth art (in a jar or shadowbox) Totally fine. Shadowbox preferred. We have several on the wall in our library I may have preemptively picked out 2 Halloween-themed mugs with cute matching spoons, before I knew who my match was going to be!

I love the fun kit kat flavors – Is it true there is a chestnut one? Chocolate Orange is a favorite too. Ooh, Purple chopsticks? there is an excellent chance teeturtle will have a sale in time for this swap: anything (particularly tshirts or socks) that appeal? Sizes? I wear a 2X Tee, bonus for scoop or vneck. Shirts that are fun: “Shh I’m Counting Stitches” , “Crochet Kitty”, or “Yarn Hoarder” Kind of surprised they have Star Wars, but no Star Trek. Haus of Gloi Fall Part 1 drops soon, anything here you like? https://www.hausofgloi.com/blogs/blog/fall-lineup-2021 Ooh I love Blood Orange so the Blood Orange Marshmallow would be grand. Also Ghost Puffs. My fave products from Haus of Gloi are the bubbling scrubs or the pumpkin butter. Edited 8/31 - catch up on questions. 8/24/21 Could you use a journal or sketchbook? I love sketchbooks & use them a lot. Do you need BPAL storage? Imps? Bottles? My bottle storage is good. Imps are a mess & if you have good ideas please share Do you wear socks? What kind? No show, ankle, knee high, over the knee? Fibers? I love socks – I’m really well stocked on the no show/ankle type. Crew, Knee or over the knee are welcome. Most all fibers, but cushy wool crew or knee socks are the best. I have heavier calves. Do you have a favorite candy(ies) [or prepacked individual snacks] that you wouldn't mind filling up your box as packing material? Or teas/coffee blends you'd enjoy? If you prefer none of this, that's fine too! I'm going down the Shore for a few days! Any treats you'd like from a cute beach town- salt water taffy? Fudge? Wrist fans? Tie-dye beach dress...? How do you feel about fancy marshmallows? I love fancy marshmallows but they are not currently on my list of “things a well behaved diabetic can eat” 8/25/21 We've asked about candy, but let's talk specifically about gummies. Do you like crazy shapes, sweet/sour? Not a gummies girl Anything from these Etsy shops? Kodiak Sea Charms - No, Halloween Hill Studio No, Grave Markings Not a Phase enamel pin or the glowing cat skull pin What about the Mutter Museum's gift shop? Nope. 8/27/21 I grow mugwort and it's harvest season. Would you like dried leaves for bathing or tea? Or a bound bundle for smoke cleansing? (Its said to be excellent for divination or lucid dreaming, but do not use if pregnant.) its also a digestive bitter and tastes great on chicken. Sure. I grow loads of other herbs and I'm drying them now. Any favorites you might like? Mint, basil, oregano, chives, lemon balm or others? Basil & Lemon Balm I grew a huge load of onions and garlic. Any interest? Garlic, some to plant & some to cook with. Feathers? I have geese, ducks, peafowl, chickens and quail. So I collect their shed feathers and share them with people I like. Feathers are always a hit here – they are the ultimate cat toy, although I have some pretty ones in my studio that I hope they never find. I grew a boatload of Green Shiso this year and plan to make a shiso pesto with it. Would you like some? (Nut wise it has pistachios) That sounds marvelous. I also plan to experiment with infusing it in vodka. I'm planning a plain shiso infusion and a shiso citrus infusion. If they turn out would you like some? Would love to try some, especially that citrus one – be sure to include a festive cocktail recipe. 8/28/21 Would you be interested in this hand sanitizer dispenser/keychain that doubles as a light (its eyes light up when you press between its eyes!)? No Thanks. If you're into tabletop games, what games do you already own, and/or what type are you interested in? We don’t play a lot of tabletop games, so this is probably not a good idea for us. 8/29/21 DO YOU LIKE TRUE CRIME STORIES? Nope, not my thing. DO YOU LIKE SEASONAL MAGAZINES ON BAKING AND DECORATING? I love the fall cooking & baking magazines – the sort of things with headlines like “The best 317 Thanksgiving sides in the history of ever” If you are enthused by the idea of receiving coffee, do you want whole bean or ground? AND do you have flavors that you like (or definitely hate and never want again)? I love flavored coffees. I do not own a grinder & I use a French press. I love chocolate/caramel/vanilla/almond/hazelnut & oddly Raspberry& chocolate flavor. I tend not to like the ones made to taste like a specific pastry (there was a blueberry muffin coffee that was so gross, it went right down the sink) 8/30/21 Would you be interested in some very size-inclusive tights? There are Halloween patterns, but also most colours under the sun, and are very comfy. I love size inclusive tights. I’m 5’9” with a 45”waist & 52” hips for size chart purposes. What about indie chilli sauces/chutneys/jams? What type of chilli/spice level? I am an official chutney junkie. Jams are cool too, in fruits I don’t already make myself. I usually order Thai food as medium spicy if that helps (I’m not into ghost peppers, reapers or habanero)
In case anyone else shares a love for adorable tiny plushies, any interest in v soft and cute vegetable/fruit plushies? There are also small animals. No thank you, they would be kidnapped & likely gutted by my furry overlords. The Polish Pickup/Indie Pickup is live for wishlisting, and will ship in time for this swap (this year). Anything strike your fancy? (It's not just nail polish...there's jewelry and bath scrubs and wax tarts and all manner of things. It's fun!) https://polishpickup.com/ I did not see anything here that makes me go oooh. 8/31/21 Anything here sound good to you? https://gryffonridge.com/ Oh gosh yes this looks wonderful. Ginger salt or porcini salt, or Chili lime salt. Any of the spice blends that are good for vegetarian uses. Elderberry boost. Hayden Evens Art has released some new Halloween and Disney-themed prints and stickers. Do any spark your interest? Not a huge Disneyphile. So would you hate or be into more miscreant Halloween vibe decor - like wholesome figurines repainted, creepy dolls, goats with horns, (fake) animal skeletons, things in jars? Is anything too dark, morbid, or recoil worthy? Hubs collects skulls of various animals, and some creepy things in jars (baby shark comes to mind) so anything like that would go straight to his library. 9/2/21 Cellar Door Bath Supply Co.'s Halloween & Fall collection is out (https://cellardoorbathsupply.com/collections/halloween-fall-collection😞 anything you might be interested in? I love their soaps. Would love to try a candle. Scents I like are Samhain hard cider, Pumpkin Guts, Lavender Pumpkin, Autumn Apple Regarding tea, what type of tea do you prefer? Black tea, green tea, herbal tea? Any type of tea you really don’t enjoy? Please no Rooibos blends. Also not a big green tea fan. I drink either black tea or flavored blends with Black tea or herbal blends. My single favorite tea is Assam. Earl Grey blends are usually good too. My favorite US supplier is Harney & sons. I also order from Bird & blend in the UK. 9/4/21 are you interested in eco-friendly menstrual products? There are some beautiful gothic print reuseable pads I'm looking at specifically. WooHoo - I am beyond needing these items. Go Crones! 9/6/21 Bath and Body Works? I know this is a bit of a love em or hate em company, but I really love their foaming hand soaps and scented hand sanitizers and my kids like their body wash, so I'll be placing an order with the next good sale. Anything that catches your eye? I like the foaming pump soaps - anything that plays well with my scent profiles. Same for Hand sanitizers.
Summer vacation Swap 2021 bonus questions & answers
I know we talked about good/not-good scent notes in the original questionnaire. But image now, if you have to pick ONE note to declare as your favorite/best/etc. What is The ONE? This time of year, it’s Lavender – all the lavender forward scents. Scent Wish List In general, I’m open to trying anything that you recommend as long as it does not have a musk note – that is the ultimate gagging death note on me. The most I can handle is in Serpentine that I think has a teeny bit from the Dorian component. Other things I don’t do well with – Patchouli, smoke/embers (I keep trying smokey ones & keep hating them) My very best common notes are lavender, amber, & vanilla. Lavender forward is a wonderful thing. In the less common notes, I find that I do really well with alcohol notes like bourbon, whisky, or rum – one of those things I found with a handful of imps. I also love cardamom, blackcurrant, & pear. In general, I always find something to love in any year’s Lilliths series, the Weenies, & Yule/Winter. I love bath oils too. BPAL Good Morning London Knight in Shiny Armor is my all-time fave - Serpentine Ghost Milk TKO – is there such a thing as TKO in bath oil? That would be amazing. Dead Leaves & vanilla Incense Anything with Pear. Is there such a thing as Pear & vanilla? (I have Perilous Parlour) Bordello has been suggested to me with its plum, black currant, & red wine – a small imp to try would be lovely Hesiod’s Phoenix Paper Phoenix Pumpkin V – no preference on year Nocturne Alchemy Bastet’s Amber Grey Pine Opal Vanilla
And yet another set of Switch Witch 2020 questions
Are you interested in receiving a burned CD of music? If so, name of genres, artists, styles that you are into or would like more of to explore. Oh that would be fun. I play CDs when I’m in my studio. I’d love one with Celtic music – instrumental or not, If it’s in Gaelic, that’s cool. It’s more about the sound environment while I’m playing with fiber & art supplies. Or old jazz - say 1930-1950s. Also fun background sounds. Do you have an Amazon wishlist? If you do and you're ok with getting stuff from it, please share the link! It’s in my sig file Pumpkin/pumpkin spice – yay or nay? Yay in food/drinks but nay in other products (soaps, perfumes, etc.) or vice versa? What are your thoughts? I love pumpkin spice. I loved Pumpkin Spice before the PSL was a major thing. I love pumpkin too. Candy corn – love it or loathe it? Or just don’t care much one way or another? I loathe the original one, but am curious about some other flavors I saw. Maple was one of them.

Switch Witching 2020
Switch Witch questions & answers
How do you feel about coloring books, especially those pertaining to a personal interest or fandom? I have several and find I don't use them like I thought I would A few questions have been asked about knitted items--are crocheted equivalents acceptable? (crocheted fingerless gloves, shawls, etc.) Certainly crochet is just as welcome as knits Any fiber issues? Mohair is fine if it's not right next to my skin ( shawl yes, armwarmers, no) About the Weenies: please list what you've bought or are definitely purchasing for yourself *as well as* what you would like to possibly receive from someone else! I'm very curious about The Shadowed Veil Perfume Oil, but not gutsy enough to blind bottle. If you happen to have anything in the Dead Leaves series (especially the vanilla incense one) that needs rehoming, I would love that (any that do not have musk) Ordering: Dead Leaves and Chai Perfume Oil Dead Leaves, Cacao, and Sandalwood Perfume Oil All Souls Perfume Oil Dear Witchee, are you at all boozy? Anywhere between hard cider to straight whisk(e)y? And any interest in the "unusual" stuff? (unusual as in non-mainstream, local craft ciders or meads, regional fruit wines, experiments from local distilleries, etc) Yes please, that would be lovely. I love pear things when I can find them. Dark meads ( dark fruit like berries or currants) are yummy. Any whisk(e)y that is not super Smokey/peaty is welcome. Bourbon is a wonderful thing. Whenever we travel we try all the locally made things. Nail Polish: Do you need or want some? If so, what colors and brands are you interested in? Nope. My nails don't wear polish well. Does anyone else do nail wraps? Nope What about postcards? vintage Halloween or Witchy imagery Is anyone interested in anything from the Nocturne Alchemy Halloween release (or, presumably, anything else from the site)? I love Their vanilla & ambers. From the Halloween line- Samhain, Halloween BASTET 2016, Halloween 2019 or 2020 How do you feel about salt? I don’t mean, like, salted nuts or potato chips. I mean straight-up salt, like alder-smoked finishing salt or Hana Flake sea salt. It has been suggested that I have a salt problem ( hubby). I would love to try any interesting salt. I'm currently working on a jar of citrus blend salt & one with chili. I am infamous for baking (shortbreads savory and sweet, poundcake, various cookies and bars), butter caramels (flavored or plain), and catnip. Are any of these relevant to you or your household? My furbabies would love to taste your catnip. We love shortbread and would love to try any flavors. Something to nibble with a London Fog latte perhaps? Do you like to cook and do you need/want any spices for such pursuits? I love to cook & am vegetarian. I've recently been playing with ground chilis that are single kind ( as opposed to blended chili powders) to see all the different flavors ( not the scary hot ones though) Would you wear any of these? Fern , Nuada, Manannan, Duleek Abbey or an infinity scarf or tube cowl tall enough for a hood (like this scarf or this cowl for shape example)? Yes I would be thrilled, especially with Duleek- I saw someone wearing one the other day ( at Ren Fest) & was utterly charmed. Do you have any utilitarian needs for everyday life? Things that would help or that you've been needing or wanting for work or whatever? The only thing that comes to mind is lunchbox type containers that are not trash waiting to happen- I'm trying to break my zip bag addiction and create less trash. What kind of vegan snacks do you like? And vegan chocolate...favorites? My favorite vegan snack is nuts, especially deeply roasted spiced ones. Many dark chocolates are vegan, & dark is my fave chocolate especially with nuts or orange.
