New question--I'm calling this "could never happen in a million years":
Your Witch is perusing the wares at a local yard sale. S/he looks down and sees [insert impossibly rare item that you've always wanted but could never afford] with a $5-10 sticker on it. Sheepishly s/he takes it to the guy behind the folding table. "Do you know what this is?" s/he inquires. The gentleman states that it belonged to his mother/sister/grandmother/Great Aunt Beulah and he thinks it's for, like, hair or something. With a trembling hand, s/hes pays the man and heads home with the inconceivable riches.
So, what is this unobtainable miracle your Witch found?

I want to apologize to all the new members/lurking members who may have oils that I'd like to buy, or swap for. Sadly I won't be able to do so because of the actions of ONE member of this board and the lies she is getting away with to the staff here.
This sucks, because I really enjoy buying/swapping oils here and I am very sure that almost all of you are honest people whom I'd love to get to know. However, I won't risk it because one bad person has left a very bad taste in my mouth.
Once again, I'm so sorry.
