Soo... like I said in-thread, I don't have a public etsy wishlist. But I thought it might be nice to link to some stuff that I like on etsy, in case that would be helpful to my Dear Witch. I'll update this list if I come across additional pertinent things during the round.

• Midnight titanium earrings
• Blue Glitter Bracelet
• Tea & Books pin
• Smile patch
• Wooden necklace
• Zeppelin switch plate
• Nail Polish earrings
• Blue nail polish
  

The questionnaire asked about gold & silver jewelry, but how do you feel about copper jewelry? Do you like colorful jewelry, or do you prefer to keep it neutral?
I'd consider copper jewelry (not rings, but earrings and possibly necklaces), but as I mentioned originally, I do wear silver much more often. As for colorful jewelry, sure. But I know I don't need any more earrings or necklaces that pair blue with gold (or copper), because I have quite a few of those already and have a hard time incorporating them into my wardrobe as it is. Hope that helps!

Office supplies hound? Pens, pencils, journals, any preference, or favorites?
I don't need any of the specific things listed. I do use stationery pretty often (stuff like this, not like cards that are blank inside) though. As usual, if I think of something else, I'll update in my blog.

How do you feel about animal products? Not so much animal toys or food, but more like furs, paws, bones, etc.
Not especially interested.

Are you interested in receiving any restaurant.com gift certificates for your area?
I looked, and in the town where I live there is only one restaurant I'm interested in, Underground Pizza.

How do you feel about "toys" - stuffed animals and the like?
They're okay? I have a handful of stuffed animals (prefer small ones to large ones). I wouldn't mind one more if you found something cool you think I'd really like. Same with little plastic figurines or whatever.


Did you see the eclipse last night? How do you feel about astrological events, like eclipses? Any interest in the Blood Moon Eclipse scent from BPAL?
I sortof saw it; it was a bit cloudy where I live. The moon was gorgeous this morning though. Astrological events are nice. I wouldn't mind a decant of the Blood Moon Eclipse scent.



Witchees, how tall are you? And perhaps, what's your arm span (from wrist to wrist)?
5'4" and no idea of arm span.

How do you feel about the 4 elements? Or are you more of an Asian 5 elements person? Do you feel strongly about any of the elements, like a connection or a preference?
Neither conceptualization particularly resonates with me, to be honest. I'm much more into my zodiac sign of Leo than I am into any element (yes, I do know Leo is a fire sign).

Bento boxes:
Cool, but I probably wouldn't use them

Online classes:
I had been doing duolingo for Spanish, not sure if that counts... but I've been neglecting it for probably like a month. Anyhow, not really interested in online classes since I apparently don't even have time for duolingo right now!

What do we want from Paintbox Soapworks?
I'd love to try any of the hot process soaps other than Fusilier or The Nihilist. I am also interested in the Bookkeeper's Butter.

This place is amazing. http://www.viveltre.com/ How do you feel about gourmet marshmallows?

Normally I'd say "no," but the ones from that place actually look good/interesting. Though I admit the macarons on the same site look even better...

Mwahahahaha!

I was looking up some stuff & came across this book: http://www.amazon.com/Cats-Hats-Crochet-Patterns-Kitty-ebook/dp/B00R3KLHNY/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1443575065&sr=1-1&keywords=cats+in+hats

Anyone interested in a hat for their cat?

Sure!


slatherer or dabber?
Much more often a dabber.

nitty-gritty about tea preferences/needs?
I really feel like I've already answered all of the specific stuff mentioned. But... I did forget about one particular kind of tea that I really liked. Sorry, it was because I only had it one time like 2 years ago... but I just remembered about it. I'd love to have some of this particular Cream Earl Grey Black Tea (*EDIT* in sachets, please... like I said earlier, I won't drink loose tea often enough). It's from a fairly local place too so that is nice. I definitely do not want to try the Teavana version of the same, for example, because apparently the ingredients have been changed so it probably isn't all that similar.


Think Geek wishes:

• Dr. Who beach towel (like the 4th doctor one best, of course, but the other two are cool as well)
• Dr. Who ice cube tray
• Pi fleece blanket
  

Villainess update:
Gingerleaf and Honeyleaf soaps sound nice.

Are there any flowers you especially like?
I feel like saying "why?" to this, I guess because I'm not especially flower-oriented. I have good memories associated with dogwoods....

Would you be interested in any cozies or cases (yarn o fabric, not hard cases) for tech stuff (phone, laptop' etc) or for cups/mugs/bottles or anything else similar.
Maybe for laptop (it appears to be almost-10 inches by almost-15 inches)... mug/cup ones sound nice but I'm not sure I'd actually use them.

Would you like Halloween or Day of the Dead themed ornaments or a "bunting" ?
sure to any of these

How does everyone feel about duct tape crafts? Any favorite patterns?
I... honestly don't know enough about such things to give an informed answer. I think I have only seen the duct tape wallets and duct tape prom dresses, and don't need either one of those. But if you think I'd really like something that you can make, have at it!

Are there witchees who would like book related gifts like a booklight, bookmark, bookseat or something for your reading gadget, like a cover or a light for example?
I don't think I'd use any of these things except for a bookmark.


I make handmade journals, mini albums and similar items. Would my witchee be interested in something like that?
I probably wouldn't use something like that unless it had plain lined paper inside (and was around/at least half the size of a normal sheet of US notebook paper), and I guess that kind of defeats the point?

What songs/music/artists/CD's do you like to listen to around Halloween?
Nothing particularly comes to mind.

Are you interested in leg warmers at all?
Now this is an interesting one. I might be interested in them if they were some sort of neutral color (I guess black is safest, but who knows) and could cover up the rather large tattoo I have on one of my calves... I currently don't wear skirts/dresses to work unless they are ankle-length because that's too much body art to be showing off in such a setting. But I guess this would again call for measurements, because my calves are pretty big. Hopefully I'll get it together enough to measure stuff sometime soon. *EDIT* calf measurement appears to be around 18 inches.

Is your Halloween style scary, cutesy, folksy, grotesque . . .?
Definitely not scary (and I'm not sure of the differential between scary and grotesque... I mean, grotesque stuff is scary, right?), maybe cutesy or folksy...

Have you read The Martian? Or do you plan on watching the movie?
Haven't read it... someone I know said it was really boring (the book, not the movie... this was before the movie came out)? Probably going to see it with my husband on Saturday.


Honey or beeswax products? Discuss.
Yes please! I'd love some honey, especially if it was local to you. I probably wouldn't know what to do with plain beeswax though, but I like beeswax products.

How do you feel about bumper stickers and car magnets? What do you like--cute, pretty, snarky, geeky/fandomy?
I... might like them depending on what they are? I'm not really into decorating my car with fairies or butterflies or stuff like that though. For example, right now on my car I have a vaguely political sticker from back in 2008, a sugar skull sticker that my best friend sent to me (more due to sentimental value than being a fan of such things... it's the only thing I have left from the birthday presents she sent in 2011 because that was right before the second time my house burned down), and a relatively discreet sticker for my favorite roller derby team (Las Putas del Fuego). Hope that helps....

Trading Post Weenies are live! Anything calling to you?
Already bought a bottle of Dr. Janice. I'm actually pretty safe otherwise, though I wouldn't say no to certain hair gloss decants, namely MPF13 or Dead Leaves, Red Musk, & Neroli.


Looks like I missed questions about phobias and NaNoWriMo stuff somewhere...

• Pictures of some underwater things like the Vampire Squid and Gulper Eel freak me out. I also do not like walking sticks (the insect, not the assistive device or whatever). Probably you weren't going to send me stuff that has to do with those creatures anyway though....
• I am not a NaNoWriMo person so I am not interested in any related items, sorry!
  

Of course one can answer a question however one likes, and I get that it can sometimes be good to broaden the in-thread questions so they fit for more people/situations, but I did want to mention that initially I was asking about current BPTP nail polish that had been used for one manicure, not about used cosmetics other than nail polish. Since some folks are adding cosmetics to the question and that's not how I answered it, I guess I should specify that I'm not interested in used cosmetics other than nail polish.

Are there any DISCONTINUED (not LE) BPAL oils that you wish you had, or had a little more of?
Well, I have some Salons on my wishlist and I guess they'd fit. Glancing at my wishlist quickly, I see Orpheus, Melancholia, and Resurrection of the Flesh.

Is there anything fairly basic that you're always running out of and need to buy more of?
You know, I'm sure there is, but I might not be able to figure it out since obviously it'd be something I often forget. If I do remember I'll answer this in my blog. *EDIT* all I can think of is Chinese cooking wine. That probably isn't easily ship-able though....


Blooddrop update:
Bath truffles in Cafe Mocha or Late Summer, Jord bath oil (hey, maybe her fig will work for me when BPAL's doesn't?), Softly Falling/Nighty/Quaint bubble bars, Candy Bats soap, maybe I Love Paris in the Fall perfume (but I very rarely wear non-BPAL perfumes... like once a year or so, so I might not use the perfume that much even if it's awesome)

How to you feel about foreign spices/flavorings? I'm going to be looking for kitchen oddities while I'm traveling - should I keep an eye out for you, too? I don't even know what I might find, so it's hard to list specifics, but like I had an international friend send me sakura sugar a couple of years ago to play with in the kitchen, that was fun... so maybe stuff like that?
Sure, sounds cool. I know I've wanted ras al hanout and harissa and stuff like that for quite awhile, but I'm open to whatever really.

Dearest Witchee, can I get you anything from Shiro Cosmetics? I'm going to place an order soon and perhaps you are interested in some of their goodies? https://shirocosmetics.com
If you see an eyeshadow or lip balm (just one of either) that you think I'd like, go ahead!
