How do you feel about knitted stuff? Fancy? Plain? What types of things do you like to wear?
Love it! It gets cold and nasty here in the PNW in the winter. A lovely previous Witch made me an earmuff/headband thing that I still use. Scarves and fingerless gloves are also awesome. Because it's cold in my office but I still need to type. Prefer plain because it's going to get worn to the barn, and my horse likes to nibble on whatever I'm wearing. So yeah, sturdy is best.

I'm into beer. How 'bout you? Styles? And booze?
I prefer cider to beer, and the dryer the better. Booze is my friend, and bourbon is my favorite.

How do you feel about caramel? Salt or no? With chocolate or without?
Love all kinds of caramel!

Would you be interested in home made food items?
- garlic dill pickles
- blackberry jam
- dried honey crisp apples
- applesauce (with or without red hots)
- elderberry syrup (with honey and apple cider vinegar - great for immune boosting)
- honey from our bees
- rose petal liquor (made with our own rose petals and everclear but diluted down a bit so it doesn't knock you over)
- baked goods of your choice, what do you like or dislike?
Wow, Those all sound amazing. I am especially intrigued by the red hots applesauce and rose petal liquor.

Would you be interested in project bags/pouches? I usually make flat bottom round pouches with a pocket inside and a drawstring. Possibility of embroidery if we still have the huge commercial machine.
Those sound lovely!

Are you allergic to any fiber or do you know what kind of yarn you prefer? (merino, merino cashmere, merino cashmere silk, 100% silk, 100% cashmere, merino nylon, BFL, BFL silk, etc. Or do you like acrylic?)
I am allergic to rabbits, so angora is problematic. (I forgot to mention this in my questionnaire, so I am glad this question came up. Bad Wench!) Mohair also, because of the tickly bits. I tend to prefer natural fibers.


Would you want a quilted pot holder?
Yes please! This is especially good timing, since my potholders have all died simultaneously and I am reduced to using side towels.

Do you have any preferred flavour of shortbread?
All of them.

Is there anything you'd particularly like to get from the UK?
My son loves malteasers, but then I wouldn't get any, lol! Real English Breakfast tea is always appreciated, since it can be hard to find here. Really, anything that is special to where you live is always fun to try!

Anything from Japan?
Yes, please! Aaaaaal the things from Japan!

Reuse shipping materials?
As long as they are in good shape and get the job done, go for it!

Harry Potter?
Slytherins, represent!

Hibiscus Seeds?
They would have to be moved indoors during the winter here. Ain't nobody got time for that! At least, nobody in my house.

Does anyone like fleece character hats? Like these: http://wonderlandonl...like-fleece-hat? What kinda characters would you like to see?
Adorable, but not something that would get used much around here.

Do you like things with Pumpkin (or Pumpkin Spice?)
The only thing I like with Pumpkin Spice is pumpkin pie. I had one sip of a Pumpkin Spice Latte once and had to throw the rest away. :gag:

Socks/sockdreams/etc:
I have to wear boring slacks and jackets at work. I love to wear vaguely subversive socks. Like a secret rebellion!

Anyone a nail polish fan? What colors interest you?
Please no more nail polish! I already have too much, plus I usually get shellacs at the salon these days, so they get used even less than before.

Do you have an Etsy wish list, and if so, what's your user name there?
Yes, but it is pretty outdated. You can at least get a feel for my taste. I am Wench457 there also.

Candles, wax melts/tarts?
No wax melts or tarts please, I like my BPTP atmosphere sprays. I could really use some floating candles though. I have two sconces in my entryway that are designed to be filled with water and floating candles, but I have trouble finding the candles. Or remembering to get them…

New BPAL:
I ordered bottles of A Little More Tea, My Little Grotesque and Coconut Meat, as well as decants of some of the other Lilliths. I’m kind of regretting not getting a decant of Waiting, because initial reviews are making that sound right up my alley. I will also definitely need a backup of De Vos’ Unicorn, because it’s stunning and light enough I can wear it at work.

Tokyo Milk? Yea or Nay?
I have never tried it. I have enough of a problem with my BPAL habit lol!

Oh witchee, if you're a writer type, would you like notebooks or journals? Utilitarian or fancy? Lined or blank? Tell me of your stationery lustings.
Not a writer type, although I wouldn’t mind a cute notepad for writing notes to put in swaps packages. The one I usually use now is intended to be used to help diagnose dementia, which makes me laugh, but I’m not sure how it is received by my swapees.

If you are ok with knitted things, what colors do you like?
I would love to get something in Slytherin colors, since I don’t have anything like that now. Also I tend to wear a lot of black and gray, so I am trying to branch out into actual colors more. Teal and green and purple are faves.

If striping, what two (or more) colors together?
Green and grey for Slytherin!

If you want yarn, what colors do you want?
No yarn please. I would like to use it, but I already have a bag full that hasn't been touched.
--- A color palette would be lovely if you use Pinterest. Or just want to post palette photos in your blog.
I do not Pinterest. If this is important to you, dear Witch, please let me know and I will put something together.

Are you interested in fabric? Again, what colors, what themes, etc.
No, please, no! As a costumer I have enormous stashes of fabric in my house, in my garage, in my car, at the office, at the theatre...

Unless you have something particularly amazing. Then I will find the room...

Yes, I am aware I have a problem.
If you could receive one handmade item - everything from knitted or crocheted gloves and scarves to sewn bags to fanart or original art, what would you prefer?
I would love to get a pair of those crocodile stitch fingerless mitts. I would wear them at the office and make my co-workers hella jelly.

What are your tea and/or coffee preferences? Loose leaf / whole bean or bagged / ground? Do you have a favorite type? Flavor? Retailer?
Tea – either loose leaf or bagged is fine. I prefer loose leaf, but sometimes don’t have the time to mess with it – like at work.
I’m a bit of a coffee snob, so I always use whole bean and grind it fresh right before brewing. Unflavored and never Starbucks. They over-roast (aka – burn) their beans, to my taste.

What are your favorite fandoms, if any?
Doctor Who! Firefly! Just about anything anime will find a home in my house also.

BPTP products? Pre-owned okay?
Yes, and absolutely!

Essential oils and aromatherapy oils- yay, or nay?
I have an essential oil diffuser in my car instead of an air freshener. I usually use a combination of grapefruit and rosemary EOs.

Favorite animal?
Cats and horses. I am also quite fond of ferrets, although hubby won’t let me have one. The meanie.

Twilight Alchemy Lab oils?
I have several, although it has been a while since I used any of them. I do keep a decant of Clarity in my purse for emergencies.

Authors - Jennifer Estep, Faith Hunter. Heard of them? Love them, hate them, or eh?
Faith Hunter – Love her books! I devour anything Jane Yellowrock the instant it appears.
Jennifer Estep – I have tried her books, but I just can’t seem to get into them for some reason.

Hair Falls?
They are awesome, and I love seeing people wearing them, but honestly would never wear them myself.

Would you be interested in any of the following: jigsaw puzzles; puzzle books (like word searches or crossword puzzles or suduko); coloring books; card games; board games? Feel free to elaborate on preferences for any of the above!
I do like sudoku and crossword puzzles. I asked for (and got) Cards Against Humanity for Mother's Day this year, so an expansion pack would be awesome. And yes, I do play it with my kids. (<-- worst mother ever lol!)

Yewberry's watermelon rhubarb spritzer looks delicious!

Do you celebrate Mabon? Would you like "witchy" or pagan decorations and objects? For example, pentacle wall hangings, mabon poppets, corn dollies, ritual candles, etc?
Yes to the yes on this.

Kings Game by Lisa Millraney?
Looks like a fun read!

Honey?
I love all things honey, especially Sourwood Honey, but I think it's too late to get any of that this year.

Tarot cards/oracle decks - yay or nay? If yay, do you already have any? Which ones?
I have two decks. The Aquarian Tarot and a Ryder-Waite deck I am afraid to use. This is enough decks for me.

Cryptozoology/cryptids (Big Foot, lake monsters, chupacabra, etc.) - yay or nay? If yay, any favourites?
Not particularly, although I do have a fondness for Nessie.
