Florida Fledglings 13 Nights Of Halloween
https://www.etsy.com/shop/CaitlinMcCarthyArt I like the art style but I am not in need of any prints or pins right now, thank you.
https://www.etsy.com/shop/BatinYourBelfry Same as above! ⬆️ I make beautiful and very lightweight yarn-and-ribbon hairfalls - would you like a set in the colors and length of your choice? If yes, name up to four colors and length in inches! Remember- this can be part of your Halloween costume! These are not really my style, sorry. Would you appreciate a skein of handspun yarn? If yes, what weight? What colors? How do you feel about beads? Any allergies to typical fibers? I don't knit so I don't need any yarn. Do you like stickers? Patches? Buttons? I love spooky stickers! Do you spend time in the outdoors? I do, I like to take walks outside and do some nature watching. Do you enjoy cooking and/or baking? I am not much of a cook but I love to bake! 8/13/21 The Paintbox Soapworks Weenie collection went live today! Would you like anything? I just recently got turned onto Paintbox Soapworks! I would love to try the scents G.O.A.T in hot process soap or Sorbetto Sample Size, and HEX ON THE BEACH in either a SORBETTO Sample Size or Bath Streusel . The Pickety Witch is taking pre-orders for their new Halloween pins (estimated ship date: early September). Have any caught your eye? I'm good on pins so no thank you. Zeep's Spooky Collection drops some time next week. Here's the scent list. Would you like any wax melts, candles, whipped soaps, sugar whips (whipped soap/scrub hybrid), body butter sugar scrubs (moisturizing scrub), meringues (lotion), bath bombs, or bath rocks from Zeep? I will have to update this when the collection drops. 8/14/21 Does anyone here like vintage halloween? YES!
It seems like a lot of shops’ Halloween lines have items related to the same standard fandoms, such as The Nightmare Before Christmas, Hocus Pocus, Disney’s Haunted Mansion, Beetlejuice, Addams Family, etc. Do any of those (or other ones) particularly resonate with you? I prefer to decorate with non-licenced items rather than be fandom specific. How do you feel about atmospheric/novelty scents and novelty food items? Things like "new car candle" or "eyeball jawbreaker" or whatever. I'm intrigued lol. If you like tea, how do you want it delivered? Loose? Bags? Tiny little messenger pigeons (subject to availability)? I drink tea and I like both lose tea and tea bags. 🍵 Would you prefer to receive ONE HUGE (more expensive) GIFT and 12 inexpensive ones, a few more expensive, or all about the same price? I am not picky, whatever you choose! What are your fandoms, if any? I am not really in any fandoms, sorry. Do you collect things like tarot decks? If so do you have a wish list or a list of ones you already have? Would you like a silk tarot bag? I am not into Tarot, sorry. Do you like rocks/crystals? What colors / kinds? Would you like them with holes drilled (either as a pendant - you'd need to stick a bale in, or a bead?) I love rocks, any kind is fine! My mom has an etsy store - she makes bags. Do you love anything from it? We can also do box bags, draw string bags, dice bags, etc. and if you want a different type of material or a different fabric pattern, I'm open to links to specific things. (yes, we have harry potter things. We bought most of it before JKR showed herself to be a twat since we buy lots of bolts at the same time - yes, we have a whole room stuffed full of fabric.) No thank you. Let's say you want something knitted. What are you most interested in? (hat, fingerless mitts, scarf, shawl, cowl, infinity scarf, shawlette, gnome, doily, coffee mug cozy, talisman bag, dice bag, soap sack, washcloth (I have a pattern with the leviathan cross for bpal), amigurumi / toy, bracelet, cuff, necklace, other?) (Can you link to a photo of what you envision or a pattern on ravelry? Or put it on pinterest or something if you have that.) Fingerless mitts, soap sack, washcloth, socks could be neat. * What colors would you prefer said knitted object in? Gray, lavender, oxblood, sage, pumpkin orange and black are my favorite colors. * Stripes, gradient, semi solid, variegated? Anything is fine. * What type of yarn would you prefer? ("wool", BFL, merino, merino/silk, merino/silk/cashmere, merino/cashmere, just silk, just cashmere, tencel (non-animal, plant based), other? I also have non-dyed organic wool (mill spun) from our own sheep - finnsheep and shetland. The finnsheep is dark brown (sun bleached black sheep from Sarge and our two black ewes we can't tell apart so they're ewe 1 and ewe 2) or a lighter silvery beige (from freckles) and the shetland is white. (we just call her shetland. They're mom's sheep, she should have named them, lol.) Most of my stripy yarn is either merino or merino cashmere.) You can check out some of my finished projects on Ravelry if you like (click on the project for more photos) (I'll have to make a list of which items are available because I knit a lot of things and then just put them in a cabinet and gift or sell them.) Nothing scratchy please. Are you interested in receiving any of the following homemade / home dried / home canned goodies? (just erase the ones you don't want when you answer to make it easy?) (see list in this post under spoiler because long) Dried could be neat! 8/15/21 How do you feel about oracle decks? I don't use them personally. Would you like witchy/ritual oils/sundries? Any limitations (e.g. deities you won't work with)? No, thank you. Is there anything you would like to try from the UK specifically? (e.g. Lush exclusives) Maybe some Halloween Lush goodies. Oh, and are you into astrology? No, but I am pretty true to my sign which is a Libra. What size shoe do you wear (inc wide/narrow, etc)? I'm a size 8 normally. Do you like/would you want to receive comic books? Any favorite genres or characters? I would love to read more Locke & Key, I read it once in high school but I don't own any of them. Would you like a palm stone, or anything else, from Haute Macabre? I would love any gemstones, moth cards, teas, wand caps or books by Caitlin Doughty sold at Haute Macabre. What's your favorite flower(s)? Moonflower, hibiscus, hydrangea, and passion flower. What's you favorite woodland creature? BATS! Do you prefer receiving a big box with all of your goodies, or is it okay if one or two things are shipped directly to you separately (with notice!!) for customs/shipping cost purposes (i.e. if there's something customs might not allow in from the States that can be shipped from within your country)? Whatever you prefer, I'm easygoing. Would you like a fabric face mask? If so, do you prefer a dome shape or a pleated shape? Yes, I prefer the dome shape. I have a literal stockpile of skincare products. Can I interest you in cleanser, sheet masks, moisturizer, sample things etc etc.? Or a general pampering package? What is your skin type? Absolutely, I love skincare! Anything from here? ChocolateStorybook on Etsy OMG, um yes. I am really interested in the zombie or churro flavor. I have been enjoying the incense from here hand-dipped incense sticks | Hexennacht and here Hand-dipped incense sticks | Mr. Hex (mr-hex.com) Any thing interesting from either site? No thank you, I dont burn incense. I prefer wax melts, candles, atmosphere sprays and wallflowers for my fragrance needs.
8/16/21 Would you like some delicious coffee? If so, do you prefer whole bean or ground? If ground, what grind? Also, light or dark roast? Flavor preferences? Ground please, not picky on the type of grind, I like light to medium roast and I'm open to anything that is not super artificial tasting. 8/17/21 I may be going to the Renaissance Fair this weekend (if not this weekend then soon and multiple times), any Ren Faire goodies you may like? I have never been to a Ren Fair so I can confirm nor deny. 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? Bath products, candles and honey are always welcome. Do you have a preference for numbered packages for each night of the swap vs randomly selecting from unlabeled goodies? Either way is fine! 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? Sadly I'm not good at devoting time to books, I'm way more likely to listen to them, I like gothic horror. Are you interested in cocktails, be it recipes, infusion kits, tools, supplies, specialty bitters? No thank you, I don't drink often. 8/18/21 Is there something that you definitely prefer to not receive in any category (anything to avoid if you hadn't/forgotten to mention)? No items with glitter on them please. 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? I am open! 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. No special person in my life atm. 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! My Wishlist is in my signature, I will try to add to it soon! If you happened to list some favorite fandoms earlier, would you also name your favorite character(s) from those fandoms? n/a 8/19/21 Do you have an Amazon link? Can you post it?? I will try to work on this and add it later.
if you are a knitter/crocheter, are you over on Ravelry? If so, what’s your user name there?? n/a I make homemade fire ciders, would that be of interest? Non-alcoholic and they are quite fiery. No thank you, I like apple cider smells but don't enjoy drinking it. Are you interested in getting other BPAL items besides perfume, like hair gloss, bath oils or T-shirts? Helllllll yyyeeeaahhh, I LOVE BPTP stuff, maybe more than the perfume oils, shhhhhh. 8/21/21 So partner, would you be interested in a Frankenbag done in Halloween prints? No thank you, I am good on bags. Y'all with furbabies... Are there any food allergies/sensitivities or quirks to know about? Nope, furball is not picky. how do you feel about (ethically sourced) butterfly / moth art (in a jar or shadowbox) That is my Jam, I love anything with a naturalistic/creepy theme. 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? Bat always. 8/22/21 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? No adversions.
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)? I am pretty good on makeup but I wouldn't say no to new gothy makeup. 8/23/21 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? Japanese snack are always appreciated. there is an excellent chance teeturtle will have a sale in time for this swap: anything (particularly tshirts or socks) that appeal? Sizes? I am good on t-shirts but spooky socks are always welcome! Haus of Gloi Fall Part 1 drops soon, anything here you like? https://www.hausofgloi.com/blogs/blog/fall-lineup-2021 The scrubs sound interesting! 8/24/21 Could you use a journal or sketchbook? I am good, thank you. Do you need BPAL storage? Imps? Bottles? I am good, thank you. Do you wear socks? What kind? No show, ankle, knee high, over the knee? Fibers? I wear all kinds of socks! 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! Reese's bats or pumpkins please! 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...? I could never turn down fudge! How do you feel about fancy marshmallows? I love them! 8/25/21 We've asked about candy, but let's talk specifically about gummies. Do you like crazy shapes, sweet/sour? I like all kinds of gummies, especially sour patch kids. Anything from these Etsy shops? Kodiak Sea Charms, Halloween Hill Studio, Grave Markings. No thank you. What about the Mutter Museum's gift shop? Basically anything for there but esoecially books by Caitlin Doughty or the BPAL perfume collaborations. 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? Any herbs would be appreciated. I grew a huge load of onions and garlic. Any interest? No thank you! Feathers? I have geese, ducks, peafowl, chickens and quail. So I collect their shed feathers and share them with people I like. Yes! 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) No thank you. 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? No thank you. 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!)? (see photo here) I already own this lol. If you're into tabletop games, what games do you already own, and/or what type are you interested in? No thank you! 8/29/21 DO YOU LIKE TRUE CRIME STORIES? Not particularly. DO YOU LIKE SEASONAL MAGAZINES ON BAKING AND DECORATING? Absolutely! 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 am open just nothing that smells overly artifical please. 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. Yes! What about indie chilli sauces/chutneys/jams? What type of chilli/spice level? Sadly I have a very low spice tolerance.
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. I would love any of the Halloween themed squishmallows, I believe they are sold at Wallgreens and Learning Express but I have had no luck finding them.

Hayden Evens Art has released some new Halloween and Disney-themed prints and stickers. Do any spark your interest? Any Halloween stickers would be cool. 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? No, thank you. do you use any sorts of semipermanent dyes or do anything fun/wild to your hair? are there any hair products you like?
