Would you, my dear Witchee, like anything from April Gloom? https://www.etsy.com/shop/AprilGloom  (this is our @spookygrrrly - switch witch code coming soon to a spreadsheet near you.)

It's in my wishlist if so

How about from https://twinklentwilight.etsy.com ?  (This shop belongs to @twilighteyes - we can maybe crochet some of the unicorns that are sold out...)

It's in my wishlist if so

Would you enjoy anything from my friend Brian's Etsy shop? https://www.etsy.com/shop/BrianSerwayArt?

It's in my wishlist if so
Are you a sock person?  If so what are your favourite kinds to wear?  Do you have a sockdreams wishlist?

I mostly wear white cotton athletic socks.  I try to get into fun, cute ones, but then eventually one gets lost.  That said!  I love the fun ones so much.

If you're not near one, is there anything from Trader Joe's you'd like?

I'm near one, but my favorite things are the gingersnaps in the plastic tub, cookie butter stuff, and the elote corn chips.

How do you feel about local items from my city, like spicy (think chili) things or local coffee? The coffee is not spicy lol.

Not sure where your city is, but I love local stuff that I don't have here.

do you have good feelings about Funko Pop? 

Not obsessive, but there are a few I'd like - mostly 80s/90s based. Golden Girls, Fraggles, Rainbow Brite, etc.

Candles! Anything from these places catch your fancy?

No thanks, candles bother my asthmatic housemates.

I have a friend who does pet caricatures. He's done ones for all of my pets. Is this something you would be interested of for your pet(s)?

No thanks!

Do you decorate seasonally/for holidays?  Is there anything in particular you would like to that end?
Some, but I would a lot more if I had the space for it.  Not at this time, alas.

Would you like anything from House of Gloi, especially from their Autumn Update? (https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1)

Do you have a favorite art style/movement/artist? 

Can't say I do.

Who is your fashion icon(s)? 

Fashion . . . I don't really do that.  I'm a suburban mom.

What is your favorite mythological creature? 

Dragon, or griffin.
is there anything you want from Lush?

Meh, not particularly.

Do you need any astrological work done, since thats one of my professions? Any particular areas you could utilize a consultation?

I woudn't know where to start.

How do you feel about the homemade fudge I sell in my etsy shop?  https://www.etsy.com/shop/HollysRainbow -particular preferences, flavors (consider I take special flavor requests all the time!)?

If so, it's in my wishlist there.

How do you feel about keto or sugar-free, low carb baked goods or treats??

Fine, I suppose?  But no artificial sweeteners, please, because they give me migraines.

9/12/20

Does anyone like the prints or items from www.ElissaMarieCreative.com ? I have a few of her prints and the notebooks and they are quality!

If so, it's in my universal list on amazon.

What about www.drawingsbynicole.com? Anything specific?

If so, it's in my universal list on amazon.

Does anything from www.vapidlacquer.com stick out to you?

If so, it's in my universal list on amazon.

I do pour painting/acrylic fluid art (with varying degrees of success, haha). Would you like a custom piece in colors of your choice (takes 3-4 weeks with curing, longer if you want it sealed, so it would arrive post-round if custom) or a piece already finished in my collection? I have mostly 12 x 12 and 10 x 10s  right now. Pics available upon request! 

I wish I had more space for things!  But ... I could use a pencil/paintbrush holder or three.

After enjoying looking at the links several others have put in the questions, I decided to add some of my own favorite independent artists who I enjoy supporting - so, what do you think of the goodies from these people? And specific items you love? Enjoy!

Anything I found interesting at any of these, I added to my universal wishlist on amazon.

One of the things I do is make nifty things from sweaters that I cut up & upcycle into things like super warm mittens, arm warmers, striped arm warmers, cowls, teapot cozies, & French press cozies.  I don't have a slipper I love yet, but I'm working on it.   So, which of these things might you like?  Give me some thoughts on colors you like & if for a teapot or press, I need to know a size.

Yes!  I would love elbow-length arm warmers with the thumb hole, or a scarf/cowl.

I enjoy historical reproductions and am a fan of LBCC Historical Apothecary. Is there something in her store you might be interested in?

Anything I found interesting was added to my etsy list

9/11/20

Is there anything you'd like from the UK? 

Aldi HP stuff, um ... IDK what else.

Do you have a particular fandom you'd like stuff from?

I like a lot of fandoms, but don't really collect things from them.

How do you feel about tea?  Preferences?  Would you want anything from David's Tea (https://www.davidstea.com/us_en/home/), Steepologie (https://www.steepologie.com/), Bird & Blend (https://birdandblendtea.com/us_en/), or do you have a favorite tea maker to suggest?  What about tea tools or cups?  

I add these things to my universal wish list on amazon as they come up if I find hem interesting - will do that with these sites, too!

How do you feel about fragrant things for the home like incense, candles, atmosphere spray?  

Incense and atmosphere spray, sure, but for some reason candles bother the two asthmatics in my house.  Also, diffuser oils.

Do you share your home with any loved ones (human, feline, canine, etc.) who might enjoy a tiny treat too?  

Yes - a husband and three kids (18, 15, 11, all girls)

9/9/20

would anybody like a small cross stitch thing, like a patch or pin? or cross stitching notions like handmade needle minders?

Sure!  A local friend started making little embroidered cameo things (very Victorian looking flowers, etc) and I think they're super cool.  I'd love a cameo skeleton on black.

 

9/8/20

Art and artists - anyone dig any of this? https://www.studiodesade.com/  (They also do masks, see here.)  

Sure!  But mostly masks as my living space is small and I have nowhere to put prints.

If you knit/crochet/weave, would you like custom dyed yarn?  And if so do you have preference on weight, fiber, colors?  

Yes!  I prefer medium weight, for the most part - big fan of cotton and bamboo, but as I'm ballin' on a budget I mostly only buy acryllics unless I'm making dishcloths.

what is one fun/frivolous thing for $20 or less that you’d enjoy? 

Books?  IDK, I'm usually looking at fun, frivolous things for my husband or kids.

If I sent you to a dollar store with $20, what would you walk out with? 

Posterboard (we always need those here), containers, gift packaging

 

9/5/20

what are your feelings on home made/ home canned jams & pickles or syrups?  I even make things with berries I grow in my garden.  I make both brandied & bourbon cherries. Syrups good for cocktails, in lemonade or tea, flavors include Lavender, Lavender + Lemon, & Lavender + Vanilla. Interested?

Yes please!  In all but the bourbon cherries.

Is there something that you're especially hoping to receive for this round?  For example, a brand you've heard of that you're especially wanting to try, or a certain "thing" that you really want but just cant bring yourself to buy for yourself??

Not particularly, no.

Would you rather receive supplies/tools for your own craft/hobby or receive something you can't make yourself?

Either/both!  I’ve started a collection of Lykke knitting needles ...

Is there anything you'd like from Penzeys (https://www.penzeys.com/)?

I added a few gift sets to my universal wish list via Amazon.

 

9/3/20

Would you like anything from here? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TaterRoundsBeauty

I’ll poke around and add some things to my etsy list if so, but while I would enjoy it I didn’t see anything that particularly called to me.

 

9/2/20

Would you like a face mask from one of my favorite artists? https://akumuink.com/collections/facemasks

I added it to my amazon universal list, but I ADORE the plague doctor one.

one of our fellow BPAL friends makes custom masks, Hakutaku Custom Masks on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/HakutakuMasks/ ). Would anyone be interested in one of her masks?

So many pretty fabrics!  Yes, please.

Any of the lotion sticks or lip balms

Is there anything you want from Japan? Current kit kat flavors are... Salty Lemon, Salty Lychee, Sweet Potato, Chestnut and possibly still some Cookies and Cream Ice Cream or Strawberry Ice Cream from summer. Other than that, anime goods, cute stationery, other Japanese snacks, lay it on me!

Yes to all the Japanese kitkats and potato chip flavors!  Also, all the cute stationary and stickers.

What are your favorite self-care items or activities? I'm especially curious about things that you hesitate to do/get because they feel like frivolous luxuries.

I don’t really do self care.

Does anything from Paintbox Soapworks catch your eye (http://paintboxsoapworks.com/)?

I’m intrigued by the facial products, and the Buttercup scent sounds amazing.  All of the Weenie hair/perfume oils sound amazing, and also Kattegat, Halcyon, and GTFO ... some of the summer LEs ...

Does anything from the Trading Post's etsy page catch your eye (https://www.etsy.com/shop/bptradingpost)?

Will check and add it to the etsy list if so!
