Gnome Swap Q&A

Would you like to receive Girl Scout cookies and if so, what kind is your favorite? I love Samoas!   Would you like a Gnome amigurumi?  (smol knitted or crocheted gnome)  These are adorable!!! -- if so, What gnome colors appeal to you?  (three-four colors please) Red hat!  Blue or green body.  -- do any of these patterns appeal to you (I pretty much have all of them including the ones for humans but I'm not going to make a colorwork sweater for you, sorry.  I *might* make a hat or mitts if you like grey, blue, and red as shown because I already have that yarn.)  Make Gnome Mistake and No Fun Like Gnome Fun   How about Gnome tea towel(s)? Absolutely!   Would you like a cross stitched gnome picture / ornament?  An ornament would be welcome!   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?  A hike in the woods, or a hike to a beach.    what kinds of safety and environmental concerns need to be considered for your gnome so they can safely reside at your home? will they live outdoors so they need to be weatherproof (for what kind of weather)? will they be indoors and need to be pet or child-safe? do they need to be very tiny or capable of hanging on a wall? I don't have a very good outdoor environment for a gnome.  My pet is small so I can put my indoor gnome out of reach.    Zombie/horror gnomes? No, thanks.   Feathers from Gary? I have some in a vase in the corner of my office.  But I wouldn't say no to more! I can vouch for their excellence.    Do you need any seeds? If so what varieties might you be interested in? Flowers, veg, herbs.. ? Only if I can grow them on my windowsill -- parsley?   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?)  I have been blessed with much BPAL in recent swaps.  If there's one scent I'd love to find most it would be Road to Versailles at Louveciennes because I like to wear it for my Impressionists in the Snow talk and my decant is nearly empty.  Another decant would be great.  I love to try new things, so I'd be delighted to see decants of anything on my wishlist.    If you are a tea drinker, which (if any) of these teas tickle your fancy? Naughty Vicar, Queen of Hearts, Churchill, Coconut Black, Cinnamon Plum, Dickens' Xmas Blend.  And I love trying new teas from people's local tea shops!   would you like a tiny hand drawn gnome picture? 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. Yes please!   Are there any colors you would prefer your gnome not to have? No neon or pastel, please.  Gnomes should wear red caps and green or blue clothes, I think.    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...)?  A gnome ornament would be lovely!  With mushroom!   Do you have a need for cheese knife?  https://ototodesign.com/products/bert-cheese-knife?  I don't need a cheese knife but if I did, that would be the one I would need.

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...?   ALSO... Umm, I'll be in Seattle then too.  And pretty much every other day.
I'll be back in Disney World next month- anything you might like from Epcot or Hollywood Studios?   No, 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... Would it work for a houseplant? That sounds lovely! Mushroom, please.   Would you be interested in a decorative pillow or zippered pouch featuring a gnomely figure?  I don't need any pillows, but I can always use zippered pouches for tarot cards or art supplies.   I have an angora rabbit and she's currently molting. Would you like rabbit fur for spinning, felting, or other crafty uses? No, thanks, I'm not sufficiently crafty!   Do you need any spices? Always.  I always seem to be out of dill and Aleppo pepper.  And I love trying new spice blends for roasted veggies.    How would you feel about gnome-inspired clothing? Sure!  Socks or t-shirt.    would you be interested in any horror movie merch? If so, do you have a favorite horror movie / character? No, thanks.   Haus of Gloi launched their Valentine goodies today. Anything appeal? https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/valentines-1  By Candlelight bubbling scrub, soap or candle!
Nocturne Alchemy just released their Valentine collection.  Is there anything that strikes your fancy?  No, thanks.   Any Paintbox Soapworks items you want?  https://paintboxsoapworks.com/new-limited-edition/new/  Sorbetto in Daisy, Pussy Hat, Moon Shadow, Rice Pudding, or The Cartographer.  Buttercup Moisturizing Facial Scrub. Nihilist lotion or cream.   Are you interested in some of my homemade brown sugar shortbread?  I can do gluten free and/ or monkfruit sweetened. Flavors include "plain" vanilla,  chocolate,  orange blossom,  cherry blossom,  lavender, rose, combinations thereof.  All of this sounds lovely!   Do you have a seed and/or plant wishlist? Seeds may come from my personal stash, or not.  Not really. Herbs for my windowsill?   So if I were to send you a plant, would you prefer an air plant or a succulent?? Either!   Any candles you might like? Be sure to check her clearance for leftovers from Halloween! https://www.etsy.com/shop/TeresaLynnsSimpleLux Its Ok To Take a Break, Russian Tea, love in her eyes, Santa’s Hearth, Vellichor, Falling Leaves and Pumpkins — so many sound great!   Lupercalia went live.  Anything catch your attention?   Lupercalia 2023 – Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab the ones I didn’t order decants of but am interested in: A Medley of Vulvas, Kiseru, Yanagi, Cacao Sweet Patchouli Clove and Green Cardamom, Dark Chocolate Coffee Bean and Rum, Black Cherry Oakmoss Red Amber and Wild Tobacco   What is your favorite animal? I love them all!!! Dogs, wolves, cats, big cats, sloths, hedgehogs, bees, dragonflies, butterflies, deer — I’m not so big on reptiles but anything furry.   Is there anything you would love from San Diego? Can’t think of anything! But you can visit my favorite painting, the still life by Juan Sanchez Cotan.
