SWITCH WITCH 2023
OH GNOME
- yes to the yes! the new raspberry kind, and thin mints, and any other vegan/dairy free options. Would you like a Gnome amigurumi? (smol knitted or crocheted gnome) If so, What gnome colors/patterns appeal to you? (three-four colors please)
- yes to the yes! any combo of green purple blue teal yellow grey (mustard, burnt orange, moss green, navy blue, plum). I like Never Not Gnoming and Gnome de Plume. How about Gnome tea towel(s)? - gno thank you Would you like a cross stitched gnome picture / ornament?
- sure! What's your favorite way to experience Nature? A hike in the woods, a day lounging on the beach, only as screen savers on your computer?
- I do love the beach, but I have to say I love hiking/walking around in the woods a bit more. I also like seeing my flowers bloom and seeing birds and butterflies and bees enjoying them, but I do not enjoy yardwork! also I love the Japanese section of the local botanical garden. Question inspired by Robyn: what kinds of safety and environmental concerns need to be considered for your gnome so they can safely reside at your home? will they live outdoors so they need to be weatherproof (for what kind of weather)? will they be indoors and need to be pet or child-safe? do they need to be very tiny or capable of hanging on a wall?
- it would be super cool to have a garden gnome that could live outside, and I could move it around from spot to spot, but we get all the extremes in STL: hot, cold, wet, etc. I would also enjoy a small indoor guy that could hang out with the houseplants. I do have cats, so a breakable indoor gnome might be in danger. How do you feel about zombie or other horror gnomes? - Gno undead or gory gnomes, please. New questions! Do you need any seeds? If so what varieties might you be interested in? Flowers, veg, herbs.. ? - I can do with seeds. Wild alliums are fun. Gno vegetables. Purrhaps a catnip? Would you like feathers from my Peacock, Gary (short for Gyrados)? - GARY! Gary. Thank you for your kind offer, Gary, but I think my cat would just eat your feathers, so I shall decline. Dear Gnomie, if BPAL is one of your treasures, which BPAL would you like the mostest? (Maybe one that is available right now from BPAL and one Limited Edition/Discontinued?) - oooo I can't ever narrow things down properly so this is most difficult. I suppose now after the latest 15 minutes of fume I am kicking myself for not snagging Carved Wooden Bookstore, so there's one that's not even on my wishlist yet, and I starred some things on the wishlist that are most sought and also discontinued. note that in my questionnaire I said I would update my wishlist by the end of January so that it would have all the right things in the right order etcetera, so that will be in progress as promised. If you are a tea drinker, which (if any) of these teas tickle your fancy? - my question, haha. I would get myself a bit of Naughty Vicar! and I am sad the chocolate chai is sold out. would you like a tiny hand drawn gnome picture? - absolutely yes Is homemade vanilla something you might like? I have a "Mother Jar" that I can decant from. These beans have been steeping for 2 years in a very nice bourbon. - wow that would be like winning the damn lottery, yes! Are there any colors you would prefer your gnome not to have? - not anything neon or pastel or glittery. I like mustard, burnt orange, moss green, navy blue, plum, etc. a standard sortof guy with a blue jacket and red hat is perfectly fine, but I also like the idea of an earth element representation, like a mossy rock that is actually a gnome! or something. that is not really what you were asking tho. If the creativity bites, would you possibly like a small embroidered gnome? Could be an ornament? Any gender preference or details you might like added (small mushroom, bee, heart or egg...)? - that sounds great. I do like mushrooms and bees and snails and frogs. Do you have a need for cheese knife? https://ototodesign.com/products/bert-cheese-knife? - heh that is clever! but no. I'll be in Seattle next week- any treat you might enjoy from the PNW? Spoopy/ Gothy things? Nice coffee beans? A Nirvana t-shirt...? - I would not say no to nice coffee beans. I like a light roast. I'll be back in Disney World next month- anything you might like from Epcot or Hollywood Studios? - Gno thanks. Would you be interested in a small copper nature totem that could nestle in your garden or amongst your plants? I can do some chasing to create a mushroom or a leaf or a special bug fren... - now this sounds tremendous. a mushroom or a snail or a frog? Would you be interested in a decorative pillow or zippered pouch featuring a gnomely figure? - Gno thank you I have an angora rabbit and she's currently molting. Would you like rabbit fur for spinning, felting, or other crafty uses? - say hello to your soft bun! I don't have any use for her lovely fur tho. Do you need any spices? - need? not really. but I would not be mad if I received some. How would you feel about gnome-inspired clothing?
- gno thank you Any horror movie merch? If so, do you have a favorite horror movie / character? - I'm not really a horror kiddo, but I do love me some Hannibal. Haus of Gloi launched their Valentine goodies today. Anything appeal? https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/valentines-1 - gno thank you Nocturne Alchemy just released their Valentine collection. Is there anything that strikes your fancy? - gno thank you Any Paintbox Soapworks items you want? https://paintboxsoapworks.com/new-limited-edition/new/ - I always love to get PBSW sorbetto scrubs in Not Your Housekeeper or Cartographer Wasp scents. Technically I'd take the Queen is Dead as well but I have a big size one of those still unopened. Also would enjoy trying the Candyfloss soap and Princess Pony Sparklebutt perfume oil lol. Are you interested in some of my homemade brown sugar shortbread? Flavors include "plain" vanilla, chocolate, orange blossom, cherry blossom, lavender, rose, combinations thereof. - all the yes! orange blossom! lavender! lavender rose! chocolate cherry! So if I were to send you a plant, would you prefer an air plant or a succulent?? - I have a bunch of succulents in various stages of neglect but I don't have any actual indoor cactus. that might be fun. already have a prickly pear outside. Any candles you might like? Be sure to check her clearance for leftovers from Halloween! https://www.etsy.com/shop/TeresaLynnsSimpleLux - gno thank you Lupercalia went live. Anything catch your attention? - I did not order A Medley of Vulvas and now I regret it. What is your favorite animal? - I want to hug every cat. I also like bees, but I don't want to hug them. Is there anything you would love from San Diego? - I left my heart in San Francisco, but that's probably too far out of the way. jk I do not know what I am missing in San Diego so I don't know how to answer this. If you like ebooks, does that mean kindle? Google books? Another format I should be aware of? And so I don’t provide something you already have, what are some authors you would like to try? - I can receive Kindle and Audible books, Google e-books and audio books, and Libro.fm audio books all at my email address. drawing a blank on authors! I should be better about keeping a list.
LC's YULE CAT
Interested in anything from Odins Daughter? > no thanks I make infused vodkas! The one I am most proud of right now is a spiced hibiscus liqueur. I make this as a jelly, too. > trying to drink less lately, but a small portion of specially infused vodka would be neat to try. could also do the jelly. If I can find the recipe, I want to make my grandmas Orange Slice Cake. > I would love a mini cake but it might not be worth it to sub out the buttermilk I do molasses gingerbread cookies, as well as hot cocoa cookies, florentines and butterballs. Any of those sound good? OR homemade chocolate fudge? I can do peppermint, coffee or orange additions, with or without nuts. > yes please to cookies and fudges of all kinds if they can be dairy free My favorite incense store is Good Earth Mercantile, any interest for an incense from them? > yes indeed, I put some different scent options in my etsy wishlist Are you a cotton candy fan? Would anything from Chocolate Storybook interest you? > ohhh boy. the campfire classics or brunch set, or anything out of those sets would be amazing. also banana split, pickle, peppermint mocha Body Scrubs from CarolinaOrganicsSC are AHHHHMAZING! Any interest? > you delightful troublemakers already got me into PBSW while I was trying to limit my consumerist tendencies! please no more! House of MetalWorks has super cute and dainty gold-filled stacking rings in my price range! If this interests you, include ring size! > not into stacking rings at present Sweatshirt sizing > in original survey: M if unisex, L if womens BAKED GOODS > Yesss baked goods! I'm kindof annoying to bake for bc I can't have anything that originates from a cow udder, but there are dairy free butter substitutes that are easy to work with. I love rum cake, pumpkin bread, gingerbread, ginger snaps, lavender anything, orange spice anything, chocolate mint anything. I'm not super into fudge, but it would still be a treat to try some for the holidays. Really if you have a recipe that you love, I would love to try it. PBQ > this was my Q, I like crunchy pb and the cookies are good either way. I am thinking of making flavored sugar. What are flavors you would NOT enjoy out the following > I would not not enjoy any of those, they all sound great! Would you like anything from Witch Baby Soap? (Make sure to check the Throwback Thursday section of the website; they bring back a few things every Thursday!) > no thank you witch baby Pickety witch has the yule offerings up, including Yule Cat pins (black or white) and ornaments. Which do you love most? > I am not super into this style of pin, and have nowhere to hang ornaments, so while I appreciate these gorgeous gorgeous girls, I'm not interested at present. COFFEE > yes hello I like to coffee. lately I really like instant espresso (shush) but when I do real coffee I like a lighter roast. Haus of Gloi's Yule is up, fancy anything? > nein danke Teeturtle has some adorable designs and their t-shirts often go on sale. Any designs that appeal? > nyet Is anyone else here an Erin Morgenstern fan?? > this is cool but not my thing Anything from the Lunacy You are eyeballing? > I am going to snatch up some stuff for myself, but if you wanted to get me Three Pairs of Shoes it would almost be like getting me something to wear for Yule Cat protection, oh ho! What kind of cat representations do you like? Realistic? Modern/abstract? Cartoony? > well this is an unexpectedly difficult question. I like realistic and modern/abstract. and I'm sure each of those has a range of interpretations, but in my head I am stuck on the fact that there are so very many cartoon styles! generally speaking I don't think I'm into cartoony cats, but I'm sure there are some that are great? I feel quite conflicted. also I have not narrowed anything down with my response, lol. yw! Cellar Door Bath Supply just sent out their black friday promo - wondering what looks good, if anything, to my Yule kitten > no thank you purr purr Did I ask what your favorite nut is? > I like most nuts, but I suppose I like pecans the best and walnuts the least.
This Is Halloween 2022!
Allergies, dietary, and lifestyle restrictions: lactose intolerant Do you have any allergies, intolerances, or lifestyle restrictions/requirements? I have angry skin so I don't prefer to receive soaps, lotions or haircare products (BPAL/BPTP hair glosses are ok) Do you (or anyone who might come in contact or view of the contents of these glorious packages) have any kind of phobia, trigger, or squick-out which is likely to arise in fall or Halloween-themed goodies (please address concerns over spiders, ghosts, severed hands, etc., here)? I don't care for live spiders, but I already have a lot of those in the house. I also don't particularly care for gory gross out type stuff. Is there anything (that you know of) which it is illegal to mail to you, or that might cause Customs to become upset and hang on to your package? https://www.usps.com/ship/shipping-restrictions.htm Favorite Flavors: chocolate! Least Favorite Flavors: there's not much I won't eat. but I do avoid lactose (butter/milk/cream/cheese) Do you like coffee and/or tea? yes to both. Favorite snacks and treats: did I mention that I love chocolate? (but it has to be milk free and a lot of commercial dark chocolate still has milk in it. and no caramels. I miss those.) anyway I'm a sugarhog, so most non chocolate/non caramel candy is great, or vegan baked goods, if they'll keep in the mail
Favorite scents(both specific notes and perfume blends): I am so bad at favorites! ten BPAL favs that come to mind but might not be top ten: knave of hearts, weed and whiskey, lavender and patchouli, rabbit moon 21, thirteen LVB, the seesaw, snake eyes gleaming in spring's first twilight, great vampire bat, doleful pipe organ, beeswax/lavender/acacia honey liked and loved notes: beeswax, cacao, lavender, patchouli, clove, copal, champaca, incense, smoke, cardamom, anise, licorice root, red/black rose, peony, magnolia, narcissus, orchid, tobacco, bergamot, most sandalwood, rosewood, leather, oud, ginger, gingerbread, cedar, oak, amber, pastry, berries, plum, banana, white peach, fig, pumpkin, hay, vanilla sometimes good, sometimes bad: amber, ambergris, pink/white rose, honey (burnt or smoked honey is good), balsam, vetiver (maybe bourbon vetiver is no good?), jasmine, coffee, red musk, peach Least Favorite Scents: more often bad than good: dead leaves, black musk, most white florals, saffron, red apple, white sandalwood (occasionally one of these will work in the right blend, but not if they are prominent) I am sure they are very good but I would prefer not to receive other perfumes besides BPAL, I only have room for one obsession for now. Do you wear nail polish? yes Would you like makeup? no thanks *If you would like makeup, what sorts would you prefer?
*Any favorite makeup brands, colors?
*Any hated/not-preferred makeup brands, colors, or products (example: thanks to your sample box of choice, you hope never to see another black eyeliner as long as you live)?
Favorite bath and body products? no thanks
Would you rather not receive any clothing? (If so, skip the applicable questions below or note exceptions… ie. you’re happy to receive socks but not shoes.) shirts/dresses/accessories are ok Personal clothing style: part ms. frizzle, part slouchy sweatpants Favorite Colors: I like to go colorful and I also wear a lot of black. I'm into golden/mustard yellow lately Least Favorite Colors: I don't really wear pastels Would you enjoy receiving wearables (shirts, socks, shoes, arm/legwarmers, hats,etc.)? sure! except no shoes or socks. and I have a massive head, so only adjustable or stretchy hats. *Sizing on wearables: US womens' large clothes, on the petite side Do you like jewelry? yes *If so, what sort? necklaces and earrings *What sizes and/or lengths do you prefer? longer necklaces for the most part, earrings can be posts or dangles
Home style: eclectic/colorful Would you appreciate any seasonal decorations or art for your home? sure *Are there any restrictions (no naked people, no breakables, that kind of thing)? nope What's your fall/Halloween style? (ie. vintage Halloween, cute Halloween, all about horror, etc.) vintage/folksy/creepy/spooky. I like Bill Crisafi

I keep meaning to try embroidery again, haven't done it since childhood Are there any Halloween-y games (tabletop or video game) you have been wanting? I am not a video game person. but other games/puzzles are ok Would you like to receive books? sure *what kind of books/format? any How about magazines? no thanks PDFs and craft patterns? sure
Are there any other members of your household (significant other, furbabies, small, adorable humanoids, any other awesome person you consider part of your world) who might appreciate a little bit of fall-themed gifting? there are two inside cats and a few feral cat friends, and everyone likes treats and catnip
Are you okay with having some individual items shipped to your directly? (ie. to make shipping less expensive for an international swap or to make sure something is received from a shop before the swap deadline) sure Are you comfortable receiving good/like new condition used items? yes How about handmade items? absolutely What are a few inexpensive things that you always appreciate receiving? teas, stickers, washi/masking tape, interesting postcards/magnets, incense cones/sticks/loose blends, unscented candles, candle holders, candy, unique notepads/notecards/pens/markers Is there anything you’d rather not receive? no scented candles/wax melts, no day of the dead, no jk rowling, no soap/lotion/haircare, no OCYL perfume, no shoes/socks, kindly please and thankyou.

Is there anything else you would like to say to your swapper? have a corntastic day! _____________________________________________________ Cellar Door just posted their Halloween goodies - I love their scents, soaps and candles - which of these might you fancy? I am normally a PITA about scented candles and bath, but since I can look at the ingredients ahead of time, I would try a Lavender Pumpkin bar soap If you'd like handmade knit items, are you good with soft wools or do you prefer acrylic only? I love wool! I live in wool socks all year. I know my Q&A says no socks, but I didn't expect anyone to make or buy wool socks for me. other wool goodies would also be fun. Are there any items you'd love for fall/halloweenie? (Ie mittens, hat, fingerless mitts, cowl, legwarmers) legwarmers would be a hoot. open to trying fun hats but I have a massive head. Anyone fancying the new Paintbox Soapworks or Witch Baby Soap Halloween launches? no thank you 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. sure! What are some OCYL brands you've been wanting to dabble in? none at this time, I usually re-gift the OCYL I get in swaps 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 would try a homemade bath bomb. lavender or citrus sounds good. What kinds of home smell good things do you like? (I.e. incense, candles, wax melts, felt scent balls, essential oils, linen spray) incense is my jam - loose blends, cones, sticks, whatever. if I get more loose incense I could use some of those starter charcoal dudes, I think those can be shipped. open to trying new stuff, and I love frankincense&myrrh, sandalwood, nag champa, tobacco, copal, rose, strawberry (lol). I also do beeswax candles and unscented candles, and add my own oils if I feel like it. Would you like anything from the bath and bodyworks Halloween line? no thank you Do you have any interest in spooky squishmallows? no thank you Would you enjoy spooky stationary? yes! Are there certain herbs, crystals, etc that you do not want to receive? not interested in receiving herbs, especially, but crystals/minerals/rocks are great as long as you haven't cursed them or anything. 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, and don't do much in the way of other Fall holidays, so this one doesn't really apply to 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! I will take any interesting honey, that sounds lovely Does anything from JiJi Knight spark your interest? these are awesome 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?...? no thanks Dang (or good!), another serious question -- Shampoo and/or conditioner bars and if so, for what type of hair (dry, fine, oily, curly, normal)? no thanks The Ectogasm Halloween Collection is live. Does anything interest you? https://www.ectogasm.net/collections/halloween HM carries some of these and they are hella cute. I do like the skull washi and the ghosty wrapping paper 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? Team I Get My Cholula At Costco: I like spicy but I am not hardcore. I do cholula and jalapenos often/pretty comfortably, and I can do hotter hot sauce in smaller doses. 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! Oh neat! I just tried wearing a wig for the first time last Halloween and I enjoyed it. I think a brightly colored (purple, yellow, green?!) hairfall might be fun! I have chin length wavy hair and no concerns with fiber allergies. If I were to make you a set of arm warmers/ fingerless mitts, what color(s) & style would you like? Options- Long or short/Solid - one fabric/Stripes- bands of colors sewn together- like fun black & red, black & purple etc. I currently have some nice cashmeres. I think I would like long stripey ones! maybe not black and red, but black and something. Homemade canned and baked and concocted goodies? Any aversions? If I could make you some of my fudge, what would you prefer? yes to canned/baked, except I'm lactose intolerant, so no butter/milk/cheese/cream. not sure if you do dairy free fudge, but I would try it! Are you open to trying different indie perfume houses if I find a scent that I think you'd enjoy? I am desperately trying to avoid new consumer traps, I'm already in trouble with this group 😅 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!) black cats, pumpkins, skeletons, witches! 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) these are super cute but I think I will stick with my handwritten labels 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)??? I love stitch, but I don't really need stitch things. and I don't need coffee mugs. but omg I would love a stitch coffee mug. I'm a bad kid I have to retract this. No mugs! Would you like any decor from Say Target, Homewood, or William and Sonoma? I like getting a new wreath every once in awhile for the front door, something that works for multiple seasons, but could be Fall for this swap. seems like it would be a pricey thing to send tho. 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 I am planning to buy the ones I want if possible, but if I miss the online purchase window, I will update here in the hopes you are my match! But, I am going to Dragon Con this weekend. Is there anything you would like? Lab wise or just general geekery I don't know what's gonna be there overall, but if there is any cool BPAL swag at the table that wouldn't normally come in an online order that would be awesome. I got a lanyard last year when I bought dragon con scents online and I love it lol. Would you be interested in a bag like we sell in our etsy shop? https://twinklentwilight.etsy.com these bags are great! I love shiny bats and Big Black Kitteh. also omg the yip yips?! 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. 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. not a yarnie 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? CBD THUNDER BUTTER YES! I do get some skin reaction to clove/ginger/cinnamon from BPAL perfumes, so not sure what happens with ghost pepper, but. Willing to try! I need to inventory our canned goods but do you like things like peach jam, cardamom plum jam, peach butter, plum butter, pickles, applesauce with nothing added, applesauce with red hots, dried apples or pears, bread and butter pickles, dill pickles, blackberry jam, huckleberry jam, candied jalapenos? yessss except dill pickles are the one true pickle. unless it's spicy pickles. I suppose I mean "no thank you" to bread and butter pickles. Any interest in things from our garden like dried mint, catnip, lavender, rose petals, dill weed or dill seeds, sage, rue, mugwort, rosemary? catnip, lavender, rose petals, dill bits, rosemary 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)? I really hope you got me lol. I would love to get any of these. Pumpkin bread or zucchini bread? How about blueberry zucchini bread with a lemon glaze? yes if it can be dairy free! 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. yes indeed! Format for tea? e.g. teabag vs loose I like both Do you like spooky themed tights? If so, what are your measurements? no thanks Pls post your book wishlist! I don't keep a wishlist of books because I am a monster, but I would like a copy of bell hooks all about love. I also like fiction books about witches, and nonfiction about witches might be cool too. 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.?) yes! I love a collage. all of these options sound great, let the muse move you. Maybe not occult I guess? Do you like rocks/gemstone jewelry? Prefer polished/smooth rocks or raw/rough? Any favorite stones, rocks, colors that you'd like? I do, but I don't wear enough that I have a clear preference. super unhelpful of me, I know! maybe smoky/unusual quartz? fluorite of various colors? unfancy rubies? Any interest in the August releases that got announced today? this is a lovely offer but I am gonna go ahead and purchase for myself! I would be more interested in receiving older scents, or HM/BM retail scents maybe? Luvmilks seasonal goodies are out! What scents and formats appeal to you, my little pumpkin? https://www.luvmilk.com/mm2022.html I don't totally understand this website? maybe werewolf boyfriend bath salt? Would you like a Pyrex 4-cup Nightmare Before Christmas bowl with lid? (Can also get Starwars and various Disney ones.) lol these are great, but no thanks
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/ ooo, any of these: PSYCHOCANDY ROASTED PUMPKIN CARAMEL ROOIBOS SILENT NIGHT CHOCOLATE NUTMEG ROOIBOS HEARTBREAKER ROSE PISTACHIO MINT ROOIBOS CULT OF DEMETER COCOA ANISE BARLEY TEA !!! 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? black cat and/or pumpkin Do you wear nail polish, and if so, would you like some? What colors or finishes? yes. I'll try most anything, but I don't think blues and greens look good on me. 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? no thank you. I am fully committed to my current chapstick 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? lol! these are funny but not my style 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? my cats like to play with ribbons, or rather, they like it when I play ribbons with them. grosgrain tends to hold up best. Would you be interested in any skincare items? Anything you would not want? no thank you 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 have exalted venus and venus aerial delight, but I would be open to trying other S+S/BPAL oils 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, chocolate chai sounds great Any interest in spooky shape wax melts in your favorite candle scents? (What are your favorite candle scents?) no wax melts, thanks How about lotion bars? no thank you 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!) gingernuts, banana bread chai, gingerbread chai, dozy girl Arcana Craves halloween drop! Anything catching your eye? https://arcanacraves.com/ no thanks 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? leo sun, aquarius moon, capricorn rising, virgo venus ...a whole mess 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/ sounds like fun! I will pass tho so these nail polishes keep showing up on my instagram and they are kinda vampy--do you wear polish and do any of these float your boat? NOTE I have never worn Holo Taco stuff so cannot vouch for quality just the vibes are super witchy 🙂 https://www.holotaco.com/collections/dark-rainbow-collection I don't wear much sparkly polish but they look neat. I would be so mad if I got a taco that was hollow 🥁 I have another new question! Favorite bands/artists? Perhaps you'd be interested in a DIY patch to sew onto your jacket/pants/bag or maybe pins or a sticker or anything DIY-ish? I'm a tori amos person but I don't think I would use a patch. pins and stickers are cool tho 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? If so dearest pumpkin are you a Lushie? Is there anything from Lush you are coveting? Their halloweenie stuff is out here: https://www.lushusa.com/halloween/ omg the lucky black cats knot wrap is amazing! I like the bat mates one too 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? I don't want novelty socks, altho I have sort of been eyeing the leo socks on the bpal site because I like tall socks/stockings (to the knee and over the knee) but they can be a gamble if they are too tight. I don't want to spend hours staring at this site right now but I guess if I got a gift card that would be cool? I am so boring I'm sorry lol 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? coffee scrub soap looks good 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 no thanks 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'm good with either Look at Cat Coven's site and tell me what you see that appeals - she is one of my favorite Halloweeny artists, and makes awesome things. I like supporting her work. https://www.catcoven.com/collections/new-arrivals I like the OFMD print Are you interested in any art supplies? If so, what kinds and colours? I don't use much in the way of art supplies imo, just like fun pens and washi tape
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)? incense is my jam - loose blends, cones, sticks, whatever. if I get more loose incense I could use some of those starter charcoal dudes, I think those can be shipped. open to trying new stuff, and I love frankincense&myrrh, sandalwood, nag champa, tobacco, copal, rose, strawberry (lol).
Anything catch your eye from this super cool queer creepy-cute style UK artist? https://www.abprallen.co.uk/ wowww this stuff is rad. I like the "heteronormativity is a plague" sticker Pls say more about your book preferences if you haven't already! Esp. regarding fiction. ok so before when I said witchy books, I was thinking of these two that I enjoyed: The Witches of New York by Ami McKay and The Year of the Witching by Alexis Henderson. I generally like historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy type stuff. Absolutely bowled over by the Broken Earth books by N. K. Jemisin, and also enjoyed The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. by Neal Stephenson and Nicole Galland.
