I happen to live near this amazing place.  Do you have any interest is anything that I could pick up there?  The have hand made pottery, cookie molds, cookbooks with historical recipes all sorts of good stuff.  https://www.gcv.org/shop/  The goat's milk soap bar looks interesting as do the pioneer cooking books.

 

9/23/20

 

https://www.poesieperfume.com/loose-leaf-tea  <---- would you be interested in receiving tea and / or scents from Poesie?  All the teas! Tudor Rose sounds exceptionally nice.

 

I have been remiss--witchee (or anyone needing a minion), I am notorious for homemade caramels, shortbreads both savory and sweet, and catnip/catnip laced toys.  I've also started playing with homemade marshmallows and fruit candies.  Any interest?  Yes, sweet, savory, and cat nips most welcome.

 

9/22/20

 

Would you like any of Snag Tights’ Halloween offerings and if so, what size? E in Disco Spider or Red Mock Garter.  The woolies would also be nice for cold PNW winters.

 

Do you prefer getting one or two really nice/more expensive things or several smaller/less expensive little things? Or do you have no preference?  I'm open to whatever my Witch desires to do.  

 

Witchee, do you like tea? If so, what kind?  Yes, I adore tea.  I love it all, but I just can't have anything with kiwi or raisins.  Otherwise, any tea you send will be most happily used. 

 

Witchee, do you want anything?  Shirts, mugs, postcards from Anarchist Seattle, Portland, or New York.... https://www.redbubble.com/people/litlnemo/shop?artistUserName=litlnemo No thank you.  

 

Would you be interested in a gently-used tarot deck (or other oracle)? If so, toss out some styles you gravitate towards, cause I have SO MANY DECKS and I'd love to send one or more along! Yes!  I love intuitive decks, ones with interesting or beautiful art like Tarot of the Moon Garden or the  Ethereal Visions Tarot Deck but I'm also drawn to minimalistic ones along the lines of the Wild Moon Oracle deck or the Anima Mundi deck.  I went ahead and added a few decks to my Etsy wishlist along my preference lines. 

Are you interested in receiving a burned CD of music? If so, name of genres, artists, styles that you are into or would like more of to explore.  Sure!  I'm into darkwave, synthpop, goth, industrial, post-punk, horror punk, deathrock, dark wave, dark cabaret, new wave, synthwave, K-rap, J-rock (post 2008) and would love to explore more bands along those lines. Mind you, I am also open to bands along the lines of The Hu, Aurora, Eivør, A Tribe Called Red, Alestorm, Glory Hammer, T.O.P., Loreena McKennit, Tori Amos, Garbage, Metric, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Boy Harsher, and O.Children.

 

Do you have an Amazon wishlist?  If you do and you're ok with getting stuff from it, please share the link!  I do.  It's linked in my signature. You can get goodies from there if you like, but if there's another alternative selling the same item that supports local, women or POC-owned businesses, I would prefer that.

 

Pumpkin/pumpkin spice – yay or nay?  Yay in food/drinks but nay in other products (soaps, perfumes, etc.) or vice versa?  What are your thoughts? Not in my perfumes or on my body.  I like the spices just fine, just not with the pumpkin.  To eat, sure, pumpkin spice away. 

 

Candy corn – love it or loathe it?  Or just don’t care much one way or another? Adore!!!!

I'm a knitter.  I have some knitted washcloths done, and can knit up more.  Would you like some?  Also, if answered soon enough, I can maybe get a scarf done.  Would you like one?  What colors would you like?  Thin or thick?  With or without fringe?  Are you allergic to any fibers - wool, cashmere, angora, alpaca?  I would love  washcloth or a scarf in black and jewel tones.  Thin Ursula. Thick or thin works and I don't mind fringe.  However, I can't do angora as I'm allergic to rabbits.

 

Witchee, darling, there's a *slight* chance I might be going on a trip next week and *might*, in the course of this trip, have access to Disneyworld goodies from Epcot and Magic Kingdom - any stuff you might desire?   Ooh, villain enamel pins, yes!  And anything from Haunted Mansion because that's my dream home right there. 

 

9/20/20

 

How do you guys store your decants so they are not a confused mess?  If you've got a system, please share it. I have them in 99 vial boxes from some science supply company for my imps.  I organize them by the order I test them, and once I finish reviewing on my blog, I then organize by collection.  For my bottles, I use those 9x12/medium or so boxes that look like books by Ashalnd (from Michaels).  I store those bottles by collection type (LE, GC, Event Exclusive, Lunacies, Retail Exclusives).  I don't organize by name within those boxes, though.

 

9/19/20

 

Lilith are up! Is there anything from the release that you want? Decant or full bottles? Eee, Liliths!  I'm getting my must haves, but I'm really interested in trying (even testers or sniffies) Etienne, #2 pencil, A Little Piece of Eternity, Booboo Eyes, Faster Pussycat?, Life the Sculptor, Our Little Crypt Ghoul, Thunk, and You Are Not Alone.  

 

How would you feel about recipes?  I would adore them.  I love trying out different family and individual recipes. 

 

Would anyone be interested in anything from Bucees?! It’s a magical giant beaver gas station/shop! It has spices, fudge,  Knick knacks, all things Texas, candy, beef jerky, roasted nuts, and of course beavers! Most things like the fudge and nuts are made in house.   I'm sure there's beave hot sauce, so that and spices.  Fudge would be interesting and I'm totally down for beef jerky, beaver nuggets, roasted or candied nuts, and especially jalapeno brittle!

 

 

9/18/20

 

Witchee, assuming you like home made/home canned condiment goodies, what is your spice level preference?  Danger, danger Will Robinson levels.  I have been known to eat a dried ghost pepper right before a lecture and continue to teach with only minor impact.  

 

As far as CellarDoor, I'd be interested in any of the wood soaps along with Dapper Dan, Rosemary Mint, Sanderson Spice, Satsuma Guava (yum!), and Zombie Repellant.

 

9/17/20

 

Is there something from your fandom that popped up in another country you'd be particularly interested in?  What, and what store?  Yes!  I don't know what stores would carry my fandom items specially, but I'm very open to anything from abroad.  Even those Japanese turn things that are similar to gumball machines (gashapon) or the special promotional items that come on Ito-en or other drinks from Japanese deli stores similar to 7-11. 

 

Would you be interested in some boozy chocolates (or anything else) from https://www.chocolatemoonshine.com/ ? Yes, especially the moonshine ones.

If you're not near one, is there anything from Trader Joe's you'd like?  Those peanut butter chocolates, their mints, and any of those Dia planters. 

 

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

 

do you have good feelings about Funko Pop?  /yes!  Think anything spooky, campy horror like Elvira or Vampira, anything Burton, or any evil Disney characters. 

 

Candles! Anything from these places catch your fancy?  No thank you.  I prefer Volupsa in the tins because my Maine Coon doesn't understand that solid bodies through glass means chaos.

What about www.drawingsbynicole.com? Anything specific? No thanks.

 

Does anything from www.vapidlacquer.com stick out to you? I like Polarize nail polish, but it's sold out.

 

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!   Sure, that would be really neat.  Jewel tones (purple, cobalt, turquoise, black, and gold or silver would be lovely).

 

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!

1) https://www.catcoven.com/  I like the Midgard slouchy XL, the bat with stars pin, the Nighttime reading book plate, the catnip pillow.

2) https://www.mineralgypsy.com  Ooh, I love the onyx kitties,  and the flourite window portals, smoky quartz palm stone, flourite vial necklace, spellbound suncatcher are interesting. 

3) https://www.redbubble.com/people/thelatestkate/shop I like their bloomskull leggings (xl), the Great Retro Wave shirt in xl, I ADORE the Arakis Surf shirt (huge Dune fan), a quiet spot tea block, Cartyatid tea block, neighbors tea block.

4) https://www.marikapaz.com/shop/

6) https://www.shannatrumbly.com/ I like the Poppy King. 

7) https://fiddlersgreenzine.com  Really interesting premise.  I'd take a look at any of their publications.

8 ) https://www.hedgespokenpress.com  No thanks.

 

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. Cowls in blacks and jewel tones would be nice.  

 

I enjoy historical reproductions and am a fan of LBCC Historical Apothecary. Is there something in her store you might be interested in? I added a bunch of items to my Etsy wishlist.  I would love to try her face creams or some of her vintage perfumes.

I adore teas.  You really can't go wrong aside from ones that are super, super sweet or include raisins or kiwi as ingredients (allergies).  From David's Tea, I would love the Salted Caramel Oolong, Maple Syrup Oolong, and Honey Lemon Drop.  From Steepologie, I would love any of their chai or Earl Grey teas, and their Milk Oolong.  From Bird & Blend, I would love to try AffogaTEA, Earl Grey Cream, and Coconut Milk Oolong.  As far as tea tools or cups, I would adore another matcha cup and could always use loose leaf filter bags. 

 

How do you feel about fragrant things for the home like incense, candles, atmosphere spray?   Atmo sprays would be nice.  I tend to like woods and resins.  Think Japanese temple smells. 

 

Do you share your home with any loved ones (human, feline, canine, etc.) who might enjoy a tiny treat too?  My 3 kitties would love a treat.  Twilighteyes grows some world class catnip that we have to hide because our kitties would binge it all if not.  They would go batty for more.

If I sent you to a dollar store with $20, what would you walk out with? If we are talking Daisho, those cool face masks, fake lashes, and some fake nails.  I haven't visited a regular dollar store in a bit, but probably craft supplies. 

 

 

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, absolutely!  All of that sounds delicious!

 

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?? Books.  I've been on a book diet due to finances and I really would like some more.

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!  All the snacks, please!  And stationary.  Anything JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Hello Kitty, Sailor Moon, washi paper, fine matcha, ume tea, ume anything, kimono fabric scraps, lacquered items, crafts like bowls from Japan would be a long shot but highly favored, too. 

 

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.  Putting on a nice of oolong or fine green or matcha tea in a fancy tea cup and reading or listening to a book.
