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? -A Daum or Galle vase, something in Royal Winton's Sweet Pea pattern, an Arthur Rackham print or book

Do you like salted caramels? Oh, yeah!

Imagine that someone hands you their wallet and sends you into a really good bakery. They have everything, from breads to brownies, cookies to croissants, anything you could imagine, and you're allowed to pick out five things for yourself. What do you pick? - Rosemary olive oil bread, Apple, caramel & thyme foccacia, chocolate florentines, raspberry mousse torte & a cranberry pear galette (I'm pretending my two favorite bakeries are one)

It gets asked every round but sockdreams? - Of course!

Do you like alcoholic beverages? If so, what is your preference (beer, wine, liquor...)? - Pale ale, red wine, cider, Grand Marnier & Frangelico would just about cover it

Are you into steampunk? - Sure
