BPAL wishlist (I love decants and imps!) (and this is going behind a spoiler due to length):

 

10/4/19

 

How would you describe your crafting style? Whimsical & Cute?  Elegantly modern?  Totally Traditional?

This is a super interesting question!  Quirky, maybe? 

 

10/3/19

 

I am infamous for baking (shortbreads savory and sweet, poundcake, various cookies and bars), butter caramels (flavored or plain), and catnip.  Are any of these relevant to you or your household?

Catnip treats for the monsters would be lovely! 

 

Do you like to cook and do you need/want any spices for such pursuits?

Yes!  I tend to get really into cooking during cooler months, and I'm always interested in trying new spice/herb blends, especially if they're Instant Pot-friendly.   

 

Would you wear any of these? 

Fern , Nuada, Manannan, Duleek Abbey  or an infinity scarf or tube cowl tall enough for a hood (like this scarf or this cowl for shape example)?

 

Do you have any utilitarian needs for everyday life? Things that would help or that you've been needing or wanting for work or whatever?

 

What kind of vegan snacks do you like? And vegan chocolate...favorites?

The snack section of my local vegan grocery stores is my food danger zone!  Gummies, basic chips (corn or potato doesn't matter.  I'm just not super into flavored chips), chocolate, caramel, crackers...  Yeesh, what don't I like?  Seaweed, edamame, and fake meats.  That's what I steer away from!

 

10/2/19

 

Nail Polish: Do you need or want some?  If so, what colors and brands are you interested in? 

Indie nail polish is my current obsession!  I'm particularly drawn to flakies right now, but I also love multichromes and holos.  Oh!  And magnetics.  Thermals are neat, too, although I'm trying to limit my acquisition of those to one a month since they will stop transitioning after a certain too-short amount of time.  Color-wise, I wear just about anything other than pinks and nudes, and I'm especially drawn to non-traditional colors, like olive and mustard.  Think '70s Tupperware or grunge.  As far as specific brands/shades, I'm coveting anything from the Bee's Knees or Don Deeva AHS collections, anything form the Lemming Lacquer Chilling Adventures of Sabrina collection, the Night Owl Marauder's Map duo, or Nine Zero's Singer Auto Salvage.

 

Does anyone else do nail wraps?

I have *cough* dozen wraps from Espionage Cosmetics.  I'm set for a good long while!

 

What about postcards?

 

 Is anyone interested in anything from the Nocturne Alchemy Halloween release (or, presumably, anything else from the site)?

 

How do you feel about salt? I don’t mean, like, salted nuts or potato chips. I mean straight-up salt, like alder-smoked finishing salt or Hana Flake sea salt. 

I like salt a little too much!  One of my favorite swap goodies was salt from the salt mine on Avery Island, aka the place where they make Tabasco.  Finally, a Tabasco-related product that isn't too spicy for me!

 

10/1/19

 

A few questions have been asked about knitted items--are crocheted equivalents acceptable?  (crocheted fingerless gloves, shawls, etc.)  

Any fiber issues?

Just that it needs to be soft and not itchy against my skin.

 

About the Weenies: please list what you've bought or are definitely purchasing for yourself *as well as* what you would like to possibly receive from someone else! 

Answered in the BPAL spoiler section above.

 

Dear Witchee, are you at all boozy?  Anywhere between hard cider to straight whisk(e)y?  And any interest in the "unusual" stuff? (unusual as in non-mainstream, local craft ciders or meads, regional fruit wines, experiments from local distilleries, etc)

I'm not super boozy, but when I do go in that direction, it's hard cider or something that involves rum!  I don't drink beer, and I'm not into wine aside from this one particular pasta sauce I make.  Local/indie stuff is always my jam whether we're talking about yarn, makeup, beverages, or pretty much anything else.

 

9/30/19

 

do you have a favourite saying or quote?

If you're going through hell, keep going. (Winston Churchill)

Measure once, cut twice. (My grandfather was a carpenter, and that was his motto.)

 

How do you feel about spicy foods, and where on the Scoville scale do you hit your limit?

Uh, can we go negative?  I'm *not* a spice person.  At all.  I love savory, but spicy is a whole different story.

 

How do you feel about coloring books, especially those pertaining to a personal interest or fandom?

I like the idea of them, and then I get one, and it just sits on my shelf untouched. 

 

9/29/19

 

Rituel de Fille archive sale?

Missed this question earlier, but it would have been a pass anyway.

 

Tarot or oracle decks?

I collect tarot decks!  I've never had a used one, but either would be okay.  (I've preordered the Golden Art Nouveau deck set to be released on Amazon in early October, but that will be the last one I will be buying for a while.)  I don't have any experience with oracle decks, but I would be interested in them.

 

Pigment samples

I really, really don't need any.  But I *want* them!  I collect Notoriously Morbid multichromes and am currently in gimme mode for mini sizes of Autumnal, Unshriven Dead, Yesferatu, Harbinger of Doom, Heralds of Death, Death (from the Endless collection), Delirium, Dream, and Despair.

 

9/28/19

 

Do you have an Etsy/Goodreads/Amazon or anything else wishlist you’d like to share?

Listed above.

 

And what’s your preferred wrist/necklace size?

Wrist:  I don't wear bracelets.  Necklace:  I love long dangly stuff!  Not navel-long, though.  Bosom-long, I guess.

 

Does anything from Bird & Blend take your fancy?

Earl's Paradise, Vicky's Sponge Cake, Peach Cobbler

 

Knitting questions have have been asked, but how about wash cloths, anyone need any?  What colors??  

I think I'm set right now!

 

 is there anything from World Market that tickles your fancy?

Dancing Skeleton travel mug, Halloween pasta

 

 

9/26/19

 

Is there anything kind of weird and niche about which you feel this way, fellow witchees? 

 

Kickstarter (and similar):  Any thoughts, witches? 

 

9/23/19

 

Did anything catch your eye from the Liliths?

Social Justice Paladin, Storge.

 

Would you like anything from Lush?

Comfort Zone shower bomb, Happy Hippy or Olive Branch shower gel, Glow Worm Fun.

 

9/22/19

 

 

Thinking about really good natural food stores like Natural Grocers or Whole Foods, if you could have ANY bath and beauty or body care items, what would you love?

If I'm wandering through the aisles just browsing, my eye is immediately drawn to shower gel.

 

Also what kind of treats, snacks, foods, condiments, bulk items, teas, housewares from the same natural food stores would you love?

Incense!  And local honey.

 

Also, are there any particular sustainable kitchen or household items you would love to receive?

 

9/20/19

 

I may have bought several full size Rituel de Fille makeup items in a frenzy over their whole vibe. If I tested something once or twice (and it can be sanitized), would you be interested? 

Sure!  I'm really curious about them, but I can't bring myself to spend that much money on something I haven't tried before.

 

Are you interested in trying different skincare products from higher end, clean brands?

Sure!  But nothing with non-physical exfoliants.  I had a Bad Experience with glycolic acid a few years ago and am now very, very afraid.

 

Any interest in anything from Torrid, noting their "fangirl" and Halloween collections are updated? 

I *love* their leggings!  They're my default option when I'm just hanging out at home.  Anything not-slashed and not-cropped involving skulls or bats in a size 2 are my particular jam.  If they were to add new Harry Potter, Marvel, or Doctor Who options, those would be great, too. 

 

What on the following list would you like to receive something related to (or have something donated to in your and Joni's honor?)

·         animal rescue

·         pie

·         dogs

·         bears

·         turtles

·         inappropriate candies (either in shape or in contents—ex., boozy candies, creatively shaped peanut brittle…)

This is quite possibly the hardest question on here!  These are all awesome. 

 

I'll be going to Seattle, London and Paris during this round- anything you'd love to have from any of these locations?

I'm set for Seattle.  London or Paris:  Nothing in particular, although that's mainly because I just don't know what awesome goodies they have that I might covet if I knew about them.

 

Is there anything you would particularly like from Japan? Stationary, bento supplies, a particular snack, etc. The fall flavors for kitkats this year are Chestnut, Sweet Potato and Apple Pie.

 

 

9/18/19
 
Would you like anything from Future Primitive? (It's fine to mention OOS things) https://futureprimitivesoap.co.uk/

I would love to try their whipped soap, bubbling sugar scrub, or body cream!  Scent-wise:  Four & Twenty Blackbirds, Bell Book & Candle, Clotted Peach Cream, Dust Witch, or Shadow Show.

 

Does anyone have a favorite horror movie that they love? Need a copy/DVD of?

Not really.  I get my fill from streaming sources nowadays.

 

Do you like smallish knitted stuff (hats, fingerless mittens, scarves, toys, etc. -- be specific!)?

I crochet, so I'm set for scarves and hats, but little bitty kitty toys seem to be out of my skill set!

 

Do any of these knitted items appeal to you?

Easy Fingerless Mittens

 

How do you feel about thrift store finds (assuming they're in good condition and have been thoroughly cleaned before shipping)?

Very positive.
