Q&A ====8/29/20==== Does anything from Paintbox Soapworks catch your eye (http://paintboxsoapworks.com/)? Always! I'm a huge fan of her sorbetto scrubs, and I would love to try her perfume/hair oils (I like her soaps too but I currently have a LOT of soap). Currently eyeing: Pumpkin Daddy, Cathedral of Pumpkins, G.O.A.T., Putney Road. Does anything from the Trading Post's etsy page catch your eye (https://www.etsy.com/shop/bptradingpost)? Loving these: Honey Maple Hot Toddy hair gloss, Pecan Pie perfume, the Bat Woman pendant.
====8/30/20==== Is there anything you want from Japan? Current kit kat flavors are... Salty Lemon, Salty Lychee, Sweet Potato, Chestnut and possibly still some Cookies and Cream Ice Cream or Strawberry Ice Cream from summer. Other than that, anime goods, cute stationery, other Japanese snacks, lay it on me! Salty Lemon! I've always wanted to try those. The matcha ones sound great too. Other than that, I would love cooking toppers or additions that aren't common in US grocery stories, like furikake, togarashi, sauces, that sort of thing. I'm also open to whatever. I love spicy and salty/sweet or savory/sweet combos. Cute kawaii type stuff with cats, bats, or foxes would be fantastic too. (Hello Kitty wise, I like Chococat.) What are your favorite self-care items or activities? I'm especially curious about things that you hesitate to do/get because they feel like frivolous luxuries. Bath bombs. I absolutely love Lush bath bombs. I'm also open to trying other bath bombs, especially black ones.
===9/1/20=== Are you familiar with https://www.a-natural-alternative.com/ ? Take a peak & let me know if you might like to try something. I always like flavored lip balms.
====9/2/20==== Would you like a face mask from one of my favorite artists? https://akumuink.com/collections/facemasks Yaaaassss! So cute. I like these: Bloody Little Secret, Sinister Smile, Plague Seeker One of our fellow BPAL friends makes custom masks, Hakutaku Custom Masks on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/HakutakuMasks/ ). Would anyone be interested in one of her masks? Those are gorgeous! I like 40, 41, 43, and the Foxy fabrics. ====9/3/20==== Would you like anything from here? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TaterRoundsBeauty The Black Phillip candle is awesome!
====9/5/20==== What are your feelings on home made/ home canned jams & pickles or syrups? I even make things with berries I grow in my garden. I make both brandied & bourbon cherries. Syrups good for cocktails, in lemonade or tea, flavors include Lavender, Lavender + Lemon, & Lavender + Vanilla. Interested? That sounds awesome! The only problem is I'm not a fan of lavender as a flavor, generally speaking. I do like lemon and vanilla. I currently have a couple bottles of good bourbon cherries or I'd be all over that. If you have strawberry jam, that would be awesome. Is there something that you're especially hoping to receive for this round? For example, a brand you've heard of that you're especially wanting to try, or a certain "thing" that you really want but just cant bring yourself to buy for yourself? Hmmm. Not that I can think of off the top of my head, but may come back to this if I think of one. Would you rather receive supplies/tools for your own craft/hobby or receive something you can't make yourself? Right now, receive something I can't make myself. I have supplies, just... haven't had the inspiration for awhile for jewelry making. Is there anything you'd like from Penzeys (https://www.penzeys.com/)? Sure! I'd love to try their curry powders (anything in this group https://www.penzeys.com/online-catalog/indian-curries-8-jar-gift-pack/c-24/p-1550/pd-gb), epazote, guajillo and tien tsin peppers, Fox Point, Raspberry Enlightenment, seafood soup base, or really anything you can recommend. (I've tried California and Russian.) ====9/8/20==== Art and artists - anyone dig any of this? https://www.studiodesade.com/ (They also do masks, see here.) That's cool AF. I love their masks too. If you knit/crochet/weave, would you like custom dyed yarn? And if so do you have preference on weight, fiber, colors? Not for me, thanks. I'm still occasionally trying to learn, so I'm not at the custom yarn stage yet. What is one fun/frivolous thing for $20 or less that you’d enjoy? If I sent you to a dollar store with $20, what would you walk out with? Beer ====9/9/20==== Would anybody like a small cross stitch thing, like a patch or pin? or cross stitching notions like handmade needle minders? A patch or pin would be cool! ====9/11/20==== Is there anything you'd like from the UK? A pre-paid shipping container to smuggle me out of this dystopian hellscape? Do you have a particular fandom you'd like stuff from? I can't think of any fandom-related stuff I need at the moment. How do you feel about tea? Preferences? Would you want anything from David's Tea (https://www.davidstea.com/us_en/home/), Steepologie (https://www.steepologie.com/), Bird & Blend (https://birdandblendtea.com/us_en/), or do you have a favorite tea maker to suggest? What about tea tools or cups? I love tea but I'm pretty well fixed for tea now (read: out of storage space). How do you feel about fragrant things for the home like incense, candles, atmosphere spray? Yes. Do you share your home with any loved ones (human, feline, canine, etc.) who might enjoy a tiny treat too? One boyfriend, four cats, a doggo, and a danger noodle (sneks don't really do treats tho).
====9/12/20==== Does anyone like the prints or items from www.ElissaMarieCreative.com? I have a few of her prints and the notebooks and they are quality! I'd love to try the notebooks, and everything from the Halloween and Witchy collections looks awesome. The face coverings are also beautiful, particularly the one with the moth. What about www.drawingsbynicole.com? Anything specific? Not really my thing. Does anything from www.vapidlacquer.com stick out to you? The nail sauce and nail elixir look interesting. Color-wise, Nonsense and Pessimist. I do pour painting/acrylic fluid art (with varying degrees of success, haha). Would you like a custom piece in colors of your choice (takes 3-4 weeks with curing, longer if you want it sealed, so it would arrive post-round if custom) or a piece already finished in my collection? I have mostly 12 x 12 and 10 x 10s right now. Pics available upon request! I have a ton of art that isn't hung up right now, so probably best to hold off on acquisitions for the moment. After enjoying looking at the links several others have put in the questions, I decided to add some of my own favorite independent artists who I enjoy supporting - so, what do you think of the goodies from these people? And specific items you love? Enjoy! 1) https://www.catcoven.com/ 2) https://www.mineralgypsy.com 3) https://www.redbubble.com/people/thelatestkate/shop 4) https://www.marikapaz.com/shop/ 5) https://www.faunwood.com 6) https://www.shannatrumbly.com/ 7) https://fiddlersgreenzine.com 8 ) https://www.hedgespokenpress.com I am obsessed with Cat Coven and The Latest Kate (I have her Thera-Pets deck). One of the things I do is make nifty things from sweaters that I cut up & upcycle into things like super warm mittens, arm warmers, striped arm warmers, cowls, teapot cozies, & French press cozies. I don't have a slipper I love yet, but I'm working on it. So, which of these things might you like? Give me some thoughts on colors you like & if for a teapot or press, I need to know a size. Mittens and arm warmers sound great. I don't really wear colors beyond black, so it would need to be dark. Black/greys/purples, that sort of thing. I enjoy historical reproductions and am a fan of LBCC Historical Apothecary. Is there something in her store you might be interested in? Facial Powder of the Fairies and the rouges and lip balms look really pretty. ====9/13/20==== Do you have a favorite art style/movement/artist? Art Nouveau Who is your fashion icon(s)? Siouxsie Sioux What is your favorite mythological creature? Cait Sidhe
is there anything you want from Lush? Bombs, bombs and more bombs! They are my love. Do you need any astrological work done, since thats one of my professions? Any particular areas you could utilize a consultation? Nope. I can do my own. How do you feel about the homemade fudge I sell in my etsy shop? https://www.etsy.com/shop/HollysRainbow -particular preferences, flavors (consider I take special flavor requests all the time!)? Sadly, I'm trying to lose weight, so no fudge for me at this time. How do you feel about keto or sugar-free, low carb baked goods or treats? Nah. ====9/14/20==== Anything you'd like from Future Primitive: https://futureprimitivesoap.co.uk It looks like they're really low on stock right now, but I love scrubs and whipped soaps, and I've wanted to try theirs. Yes, I make an exception to my "I have enough soap" policy for whipped soap. Don't @ me.
Do you have an Etsy wishlist? Yes. Linked up top. I wanted to share this link to a soapmaker I love and ask if y'all see anything you would like from them! https://www.herbneden.com/ Maybe a body butter? Nui Cobalt Designs perfumes...(just got her latest email): How about the scents being discontinued? The Critters? https://nuicobaltdesigns.com/collections/critters-2020?page=1 or other ones? I love love love love Nui Cobalt. Critters! Cooper Fox, Grey Wolf, River Otter, Silver Fox ====9/15/20==== I have a friend who does pet caricatures. He's done ones for all of my pets. Is this something you would be interested of for your pet(s)? Sure! That would be lovely. Do you decorate seasonally/for holidays? Is there anything in particular you would like to that end? I do, and honestly, I have nothing right now. When I moved a couple years ago, I purged a LOT of things from my old life.
Would you like anything from House of Gloi, especially from their Autumn Update? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1) All the things. I love the Haus, particularly their pumpkin butters and whipped soap. Ghost Puffs is one that I stock up on every year because I adore it. Others I'd love to have: Hex, Olde Cider Haus, Persephone's Descent. I know the tea question has been asked, but what, specifically, about Adagio teas? Argh! Don't tempt me. I do love their teas. What about anything tempting from Dandelion Chocolate? Yes. I know what I said about fudge, but this is an entirely different affair. ====9/16/20==== Would you, my dear Witchee, like anything from April Gloom? https://www.etsy.com/shop/AprilGloom (this is our @spookygrrrly - switch witch code coming soon to a spreadsheet near you.) Those little skull pins are adorable! How about from https://twinklentwilight.etsy.com ? (This shop belongs to @twilighteyes - we can maybe crochet some of the unicorns that are sold out...) (photos in spoilers.) I love the bats print and the cats & pumpkins print. Are you a sock person? If so what are your favourite kinds to wear? Do you have a sockdreams wishlist? Yes. Sort of. We have a love/hate thing. Generally speaking, no. Except with boots. Which I wear all fall and winter. I love leg warms and tights tho. I will update my Sockdreams wishes today. Link added to top of this post. If you're not near one, is there anything from Trader Joe's you'd like? There's one close enough for me to visit. How do you feel about local items from my city, like spicy (think chili) things or local coffee? The coffee is not spicy lol. I love spicy things and coffee. Do you have good feelings about Funko Pop? Yes. I have a few on my Amazon wish list. ===9/17/20=== Is there something from your fandom that popped up in another country you'd be particularly interested in? What, and what store? Nope, not at the moment. Would you be interested in some boozy chocolates (or anything else) from https://www.chocolatemoonshine.com/ ? No thanks ===9/18/20=== Witchee, assuming you like home made/home canned condiment goodies, what is your spice level preference? I like it hot!
Would you be interested in anything from Cellar Door Bath Supply Co.? Their Halloween candles look nice. ===9/19/20=== Lilith are up! Is there anything from the release that you want? Decant or full bottles? Aoede, Melete, Mneme; Arlecchina; Baby's First Chainsaw; Faster Kittycat?; Perfectly Normal Childhood — bottles of any How would you feel about recipes? Sure Would anyone be interested in anything from Bucees?! It’s a magical giant beaver gas station/shop! It has spices, fudge, Knick knacks, all things Texas, candy, beef jerky, roasted nuts, and of course beavers! Most things like the fudge and nuts are made in house. I don't think so? Not familiar with it. ===9/20/20=== How do you guys store your decants so they are not a confused mess? If you've got a system, please share it. Hahahahahaha. They are a confused mess. ===9/21/20=== I'm a knitter. I have some knitted washcloths done, and can knit up more. Would you like some? Also, if answered soon enough, I can maybe get a scarf done. Would you like one? What colors would you like? Thin or thick? With or without fringe? Are you allergic to any fibers - wool, cashmere, angora, alpaca? I love scarves. Something in blacks/greys/purples would be nice. I prefer natural fibers, though wool is a little itchy. Witchee, darling, there's a *slight* chance I might be going on a trip next week and *might*, in the course of this trip, have access to Disneyworld goodies from Epcot and Magic Kingdom - any stuff you might desire? No idea of anything specific, but the Artistocats is my favorite Disney movie. ===9/22/20=== Would you like any of Snag Tights’ Halloween offerings and if so, what size? Ooh yes. Size D? Looks like. Do you prefer getting one or two really nice/more expensive things or several smaller/less expensive little things? Or do you have no preferance? No preference Witchee, do you like tea? If so, what kind? I do. I pretty much like all kinds. Witchee, do you want anything? Shirts, mugs, postcards from Anarchist Seattle, Portland, or New York.... https://www.redbubble.com/people/litlnemo/shop?artistUserName=litlfnemo Not really Would you be interested in a gently-used tarot deck (or other oracle)? If so, toss out some styles you gravitate towards, cause I have SO MANY DECKS and I'd love to send one or more along! Sure, but I'll need to look up the list of what I already have for you.
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. No thanks Do you have an Amazon wishlist? If you do and you're ok with getting stuff from it, please share the link! Linked up top 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? Yay-ish. I love those scents. Food and drink wise, I prefer pumpkin spice to 1. have actual pumpkin not just nutmeg and 2. for the spice to be more cinnamon. I'm not a big nutmeg fan, and I find too many "pumpkin spice" things are just "here's a bunch of nutmeg!" Candy corn – love it or loathe it? Or just don’t care much one way or another? I wouldn't say I loathe it, but it's not my fave. ===9/23/20=== https://www.poesieperfume.com/loose-leaf-tea <---- would you be interested in receiving tea and / or scents from Poesie? I actually have one of their scents that came in a Sihaya box, and I like it, so I'd definitely be up to try more. Intriguing scents: Black Cat Cuddles(!!!), Elemental Tea Party, Medusa, Persephone, Creature Comforts, Madchenland. I'd be up for trying the tea too. Not sure what flavors, so basically, recommend something without lavender. I have been remiss--witchee (or anyone needing a minion), I am notorious for homemade caramels, shortbreads both savory and sweet, and catnip/catnip laced toys. I've also started playing with homemade marshmallows and fruit candies. Any interest? Yes please! ===9/25/20=== I happen to live near this amazing place. Do you have any interest is anything that I could pick up there? The have hand made pottery, cookie molds, cookbooks with historical recipes all sorts of good stuff. https://www.gcv.org/shop/ Parchment paper would be cool! ===10/1/20=== Would you be interested in anything from KBShimmer's new Fall nail polish collection or their Falloween collection? Creep it Together looks really cool! ===10/3/20=== Witchee, darlin', anything appeal from this goth-metal-Satanic Tea company, Pitch Black North? https://www.pitchblacknorth.com/category/all-tea OMG this is so up my alley! LOL. I love the Lucifer tea ball, and would love to try Antichrist Pumpkin Spiced, Breath Of Demons - Lapsang Souchong and Coconut Chai. WITCHEE, WOULD YOU LIKE ANY OF THESE?

Brown Sugar Plum Butter, Cardamom Plum Jam, Ginger Peach Butter, Dill Green Tomato Relish, Huckleberry Jam, Candied Jalapeños and Rose Petal liquer. ===10/4/20=== the other day I found the pattern I made for a small crocheted skull. I have made some before and included some herbs and oils and such, things that both smell good and are said to carry protective virtues, in the stuffing, and hooked them up to hang in a vehicle or such. Would any of y'all like one of those? Yes please! ===10/5/20=== is anyone a Daredevil fan?? I'm going to be working with Christopher Brewster who is Daredevil in the suit (i.e. the stunt performer but not the FACE of the actor... but when the suit is on... its Brewster). I worked with him on something else... and he was super cool... excited to get to work with him again... but if that's anyone's fandom... I wanna know LOL Not my top fandom, but yes, I love that show!
