Table Games - do you play them? If so, which ones, and which versions, and are there any goodies you might like related to them?
Yes! I got into Munchkin this summer and love it! I only have the original, so any expansion pack would be great. I'd also love to have Cards Against Humanity, as my family is amazing and filthy-minded and hilariously politically incorrect and this game would be fantastic to play with them.
Witchee, are you in need of any particular spices?
Sure! I cook a lot and bake a fair amount, and so anything interesting you want to send my way would be great!
If you were my witchee, would you be interested in anything from my store or something similar? (Nut-made by LisaNut on etsy.)
No thank you I recently started crocheting and so I'm good on knitted things!
Say your witch works at a used bookstore. what kinds of things might you like from there? cool old pulp fiction paperbacks? tarot cards? (we have those.) a dr who pen? books about haunted cemeteries in seattle? you may have all of these things:) oh, and also movies. and cds.
Tarot cards!!! And pretty much anything from a used bookstore
Witchee, the Haunt Halloween update goes live tomorrow! When it does, please post right away and let me know your dreams and wishes!
I've always wanted to try Winchester; Batik, Empire, Gloaming, Lovehound, and Roma perfumes sound amazing. The lip lusts in Bettie and Sweet Cream also sound fantastic.
I've got some canned goods put up -- mostly jams/jellies, some apple butter, some applesauce. Want some? If so, what kind(s)?
Yes! All of your canned goods are belonging to me
How feel you about lip balms, glosses, and lipsticks? Any particular favourite scents/flavours? Any favourite makers/sellers?
Love lip balms (nut free please!), and adore lipsticks. I'm not a gloss fan because I have very long hair and live in a very windy area so I wind up with lip gloss in my hair and smeared across my face I have the best luck with Revlon and MAC lipstick, but will gladly try any lipstick you send my way, Witch! I love pinks and reds and am always on the lookout for a good nude!
Since wish list links never seem to work in forum mail, won't you please re-post your wish list links here, so they're readable?
All my wish lists are linked in my signature under "Wish List". If you click on it, it'll bring you to my BPAL wish list, and then at the bottom of that post are my Amazon, Pintrest, etc lists!
Hi Witch Dear! Thank you so much for the ebooks! I'm reading the first Harry Dresden one now and am loving it!
Do you have any upcoming away time I should be aware of, for shipping purposes?
Nope! I'll be here the whole round!
Would you like anything from Sock Dreams?
I love Sock Dreams! I wear primarily skirts and dresses and in the winter I just add a pair of thigh highs underneath to keep my legs warm. I want to love tights, but I have some belly fat and tights make an unsightly belly roll So I stick to thigh highs, and Sock Dreams has an excellent selection! My wish list is here!
Is there anything in the Miskatonic Valley Philharmonic update that you're interested in?
Surprisingly, no. Death notes abound in this update, so my wallet is safe for the (hopefully soon) upcoming Carnaval and Yules!
Is there anything my mom's etsy shop that you're interested in?
Super cute stuff, but none of it is really my taste
Hello Witch dear! I hope you had a marvelous day and that fall is coming to your area! It was chilly for most of the day here and I am loving it! Fall and winter are my favorite seasons, so I say bring it on Here are the questions from today.
Some of your favorite artists? Classic and modern?
I love Georgia O’Keefe. But other than that I don’t have a lot of art knowledge. I do know that I love paintings, sculptures, and photographs if that helps
If you could have an image or certain subject painted for you on any type of "canvas" (on a box, on paper, on a canvas, and so on) - could you point your witch to some of these images?
I would prefer something hang-able because I have a crazy amount of wall space in my new apartment. And if I could have any image painted for me, I love moonscapes. Full moons, “honey moons,” crescent moons, I love them all. Moons over the ocean, over a lake, over a city scape, peeking through a tree of forests, etc. Any kind of moonscape, basically. Or images of Athena or Nike (the goddess) or Bastet are awesome too!
Is there a GC scent that's been on your list for ages but keeps falling off the bottom of your order because of the LEs?
Bastet or Chimera! I always wear the imps I have and go “I really need to order a bottle of that!” and then never do
I've been getting into indie nail polish brands recently. What's your favorite indie brand of nail polish? Or what's your favorite mainstream brand of nail polish? Or are you not big on polish?
I’m not very big on indie nail polish. I feel that for the most part, it’s just a mix of these huge pieces of glitter and that’s not my bag baby I do love nail polish though, particularly China Glaze, OPI, Deborah Lippman, and Revlon. I’m very partial to pinks, reds, purples, and greys and prefer crème or shimmer to full on glitterbombs.
Mix-in-a-jar? How to you feel about cookie or cake or soup mixes that come in jars and you just add, like, an egg or water or what have you?
I never wind up using things like this.
Stuffed things: yea or nay?
Not so much. I have a few stuffed animals, but most of them are the special ones from childhood. So I’m going to say no to this one.
Would you be interested in beer, wine, or other specialty beverages from your Witch's area?
I’m not a drinker at all, so alcoholic beverages would be wasted on me. However, things like apple cider or hot chocolate mixes would be greatly appreciated!
Are there any crafts/skills you've wanted to learn but haven't gotten around to? And if so, would you be interested in supplies and tutorials?
I’ve always wanted to learn how to knit, so I would love something like this!
Who here would be happy to get a lil' sumthin sumthin from Adagio Teas?
I’m not a tea drinker (or coffee drinker for that matter).
Do you Ravelry? And if so, what's your handle over there? Would you be interested in gift patterns from your queue?
Sadly Witch, I am not a knitter. However, if you are and decide to send me tutorials I would love some of your favorite beginner patterns!
I live near this very cool Retro store (you can order online too) - are there things from it that would make you squee if your witch sent them?
A fun apron! I don’t have one and could use a cute one.
Who likes Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses?
I would love to try them!
What does your kitchen look like? Colors/style?
I think I used this answer before, but poor grad student is how my whole apartment is decorated
Witchee, what are your favorite quotes?
“The virtue of courage is a prerequisite for the practice of all other virtues; otherwise one is virtuous only when virtue has no cost.” – C.S. Lewis

What's one random thing you really like and one random thing you really dislike?
I love poodles. Seriously. They’re my favorite dog in the whole world. And I loathe reality television.
Are there any herbs that you haven't been able to lay hands on that I could send you? There's an herbal shop I really like here in NYC called Flower Power that has quite a wide selection.
I will gladly take all your herbs! I don’t have anywhere near enough and so whatever you send me will be gratefully used!
If there are no "witchy" shops near you, is there anything I can pick up for you from Enchantments?
I do a lot of work with the TALs, and I feel most comfortable sticking with them.
Hello Witch Dear! This is the beginning of the ketchup for the summer round! I'll be putting all the daily questions here so that I don't clutter up the thread with my ramblings And as always, if you need more specific answers or more information, please feel free to email me!
Monday June 17
Dr Who? I Dr. Who! I'm only halfway through the season with the ninth doctor, so I'm a total noob but I love it so much already!
How much do you like lipbalm? Flavored or unflavored? What are your favorite brands and flavors? Yes to lip balm! I prefer flavored (any flavor except for berries) to unflavored, but I live in the desert so any type of lip balm is greatly appreciated. If you could double check the ingredients list for nut products (since my mother is deathly allergic to nuts, I won't keep things with nut products in the house just to be safe), I would appreciate it!
Do you like and wear lipgloss? If yes, what colours? I'm much more of a lipstick girl. My hair is so long and it's so windy here that if I wear lipgloss, my hair gets stuck to my lips and then I wind up with lipgloss trails everywhere
For those of you whose wishlists contain only BPALs, are there any other perfume companies you like or would like to try out? I've recently discovered Conjure Oils and am smitten with them! I've only tried Marie LaVeau, Radio Bastet, and a handful of their single notes. Once I can set aside the money, I'll be getting a bottle of the Madagascan Vanilla single note for sure. I'm open to trying anything from them or Nocturne Alchemy and if you have a favorite non-BPAL company, I'd love to hear your favorites!
Your feelings on Adagio teas: If you've never had anything from them, would you be open to trying them? If you HAVE had them and like them, name some favorites blends. And if you had them and dislike them, can you name a few *other* tea companies you're into? I'm not a big tea drinker, honestly. I love Twining's Irish Breakfast, but I also love to douse it in cream and sugar or lemon and sugar, neither of which is compatible with trying to lose weight So tea is probably wasted on me, unfortunately.
What about coffee? Would you like to get coffee send to you? Whole bean or ground? What are some varieties and/or flavors you enjoy? I cannot stand the taste of coffee, so no thank you.
Who is your favourite female of all time? Historical, literary, ANYTHING, and why? Honestly? My mom (Stella Luna)! She's such an amazing woman who's had to overcome an inhuman amount of obstacles, and she is my hero and role model. She accepts and loves people for exactly who they are, faults and all; she's patient and kind and giving; she's supportive no matter what. I'm proud to call her my mother, and even prouder to call her my friend. And now I'm tearing up, so I'll just live it at that.
If you were a Disney princess you would be? Belle! I love to read, and I love big burly men
Would you like a seashell from Florida? Yes! I have an insane love for the beach and collect seashells.
What craft project do you currently have on your docket or that you want to start? And that craft goodies would be welcome? I learned to crochet this winter, and I'm working on blankets for family members and a few for the local homeless shelter. All crochet goodies (hooks, yarn, patterns, etc) are welcome!
Are you interested in anything from the Haus of Gloi yule update on November 3rd? Which products and which scents?
No thank you. I'm really trying to limit my perfume buying and I can't have another perfume company to be obsessed with
How do you feel about nail polish? If you like it, are there any brands or colors in which you are interested?
LOVE. My nails are always painted (although I kept them bare for my interviews last week, which was bizarre looking to me). I love OPI the best, as I can get up to a week of wear with their polishes. I also love Essie, China Glaze and Revlon. I tend to stick to mostly reds, pinks, corals, taupes, nudes, and purples for colors. I love the way blues and greens look on other people, but I feel so weird wearing them.
What about makeup? What brands do you prefer and which products would you most enjoy receiving?
Yes to makeup! Within the last year I've started wearing more makeup in an effort to look a little more put-together and professional. My daily routine is foundation (Revlon's Colorstay Whipped is the best I've found so far), concealer (Bobbi Brown's corrector is a lifesaver for my dark purple circles), eyeshadow primer, 1-2 eyeshadows (I've fallen in love with MAC's neutral eyeshadows), mascara (Maybelline The Falsies), matte black eyeshadow as liner (MAC again), eyebrow powder (Bobbi Brown again), blush (I've been using MAC, but also really love the Nyx blushes) and lipstick (usually either MAC or Revlon).
As far as brands, I love MAC, Bobbi Brown, Revlon, and Laura Mercier (she's out of my price range for the most part though), and would love to get eyeshadows (mattes or neutrals) or lipstick (pinks, "my lips but better" shades, and reds).
Your feelings on Adagio teas: If you've never had anything from them, would you be open to trying them? If you HAVE had them and like them, name some favorites blends.
I'm not a tea drinker, sorry!
Do you like video games? Are there any you want to play? Do you have a large library?
I'm also not a gamer
Name three BPAL scents you have tried, but are dying to get more of.
Black Lace (non-apple), Lyonesse, and Le Lethe.
Have you ever tried anything from Paintbox Soapworks? Which products or scents would you prefer?
I have, and to be honest I really don't like her products. Her soaps dry me out big time, and her scents aren't to my taste.
Do you like/have space to garden? If so, what do you grow?
I do, and I'm starting this spring! I hope to grow tomatoes, herbs, lettuce, and a metric ton of flowers
Gift cards/vouchers - yay or nay? If you like them - which stores would you like one for?
Love gift cards! Amazon, Sephora, MAC, Barnes and Noble, Target, Nordstroms, and Bed Bath and Beyond would be great!
Seen anything lately that makes you go OH HOLY FUCK THAT'S AWESOME!!?
I'm still madly in love with my Nook. For as long as I can remember, I've taken books with me when I go places and it was always so hard to decide which to take and what if I finished it while I was out?! The horror! So being able to take hundreds of books with me everywhere is absolutely mind-blowing to me.
Name five small things you could use, but might not think to get for yourself?
A cuticle oil pen, more round labels for my BPAL bottles, fridge magnets, an eyeglasses case, stickers for my laptop.
Is there anything from a farmer's market you might like?
I love canned goods, but those might be prohibitively expensive to ship.
Do you have any upcoming away time I should be aware of, for shipping purposes?
Nope! I'll be here the whole round!
Would you like anything from Sock Dreams?
Here is my wish list! I love Sock Dreams!
