Would you be interested in beer, wine, or other specialty beverages from your Witch's area?

 

Sure. I don’t do beer usually, other than lambics (I don’t like bitter stuff at *all*), but I’m a huge fan of hard cider, *sweet* red and white wines – I can’t do dry ones. I’m not big on syrupy sweet stuff, but fruity is good. And I *love* mead, especially cherry mead.

---

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?

 

Yus! I can knit, but I want to learn how to crochet, spin, weave, brew (cider, mead, and wine), make cheese, and do naalbinding.

Who here would be happy to get a lil' sumthin sumthin from Adagio Teas? -->

 

Never tried their stuff, but I’d love to. I’m currently on the hunt for *real* peach and blackberry teas. Not the ‘peach pleasure’ or wtf ever peach *flavored* crap I keep finding around here. Also, the Thai Chai, white peach, jasmine silver needle, garden sampler, foxtrot, blood orange and white pear sound very interesting. Also, I’m one of the dorks who would *love* a clear teapot and some of the blooming teas.

Stuff From Retro Dry Goods?

 

classic cherry towels in yellow, nana’s half apron, candy cigarettes, neapolitan coconut sundaes, teaberry gum (ALL OF IT), Anne Taintor coin purse – Walk Faster, Anne Taintor kitchen towels – ANY, pillbox hat – black or leopard

What does your kitchen look like? Colors/style?

Witchee, what are your favorite quotes?

 

Look, if you’re going to torture me, spank me, lick me… do it. But if this poetry shit continues, just shoot me now. Please?! –Tank Girl (not my view on poetry, but I still think it’s funny)

Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read. –Groucho Marx

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. –Confucius

That there are such devices as firearms, as easy to operate as cigarette lighters and as cheap as toasters, capable at anybody's whim of killing Father or Fats or Abraham Lincoln or John Lennon or Martin Luther King, Jr., or a woman pushing a baby carriage, should be proof enough for anybody that being alive is a crock of shit. – Kurt Vonnegut, Timequake

Herbs, dried stuff, witchy stuff?

---

I know it is totally the wrong season (for most of us), but do you like/have space to garden? If so, what do you like to grow?

Do you have any Fall or Halloween traditions? – other than baking, not so much.

a) Are you OK with "special deliveries"?

 

definitely

 

b)Is the address in your questionnaire the best place to reach you for said deliveries?

 

Nope. Work would be best. Have a co-conspirator or ringleader ask and I’ll be happy to provide the address.

 

c) If the delivery requires a phone number (as say, some florists do) would you be OK with that information being tracked down by your Witch or asked of you anonymously?

 

Certainly.

Any Bath, Body or nutritional type items you would love to try from a Natural and Organic food store (similar to Whole Foods) that you don't buy because they are a bit too pricey?

 

Not per se. I’m not huge on the whole organic thing. Although, unusual things from places like that are cool – like candied hibiscus flowers or pickled lotus root.
