Switch Witch Fall 2020

Etsy Wishlist (not expecting anything from here, but sharing so you know my aesthetic)

 

9/19/20

 

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 not opposed to anything on this list if you think I might like it.

 

9/18/20

 

Aaaaaah Lilith are up! Is there anything from the release that you want? Decant or full bottles?

So, no one needs to feel compelled to buy me BPAL. I know this is a pricey addiction. Below is just stuff I'm interested in:

Decants: #2 Pencil; Etienne De Boray Oak; A little Piece of Eternity; Sentence First, Verdict Afterwards; Shadows and Light; Thunk

Bottles: Artist's Entrance; Booboo Eyes; Cannibal Lady Macbeth; Loaf; Peanut; You Are Not Alone

 

New question: Would you be interested in anything from Cellar Door Bath Supply Co.?

Yes, these are gorgeous and I've never tried them. The only thing is that hay is a scent that doesn't play well with me, and I'd probably prefer bar soaps over the other kinds items they sell.

 

9/16/20

 

Candles! Anything from these places catch your fancy?

https://cantripcandles.com/collections (restocks Friday 9/18 at 9:00 PST)

Those matchbooks are amazing. The library candle sounds really intriguing. 

https://miruscandles.com/collections

This is a huge catalog and I'm not sure if I have the endurance to go through it. I wouldn't mind an interesting/unique blend.

https://briarwickcandles.com/collections

Same answer as above. :)

 

Anything you'd like from Future Primitive: https://futureprimitivesoap.co.uk 

I don't think I've had the pleasure of trying this company, but have heard of it. I'd be happy to receive anything from here! It all sounds lovely.

 

 

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.)

Adorable, but I think I'm okay without.

 

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

I'm not in need of items like those.

 

Are you a sock person?  If so what are your favourite kinds to wear?  Do you have a sockdreams wishlist?

I like tall, cozy socks, usually knee or thigh high. I've definitely got the thunder variety of thighs, so they would need to accommodate that lol.

 

Would you enjoy anything from my friend Brian's Etsy shop?

These are awesome! Heresy, Facesucker Deux, The Dread King, Matriarch, and Exhumed are giving me feels. Idk why but I can't unbold these sentences.

 

9/15/20

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 thank you.

 

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

Maybe a scrub, butter bomb, or pumpkin butter. Ghost Puffs sounds good. I try to avoid hay scents, and unfortunately their soap dries my skin out.

2- I know the tea question has been asked, but what, specifically, about Adagio teas? I really like their sample packs, and they've got some *very* compelling new varieties up for Autumn! (https://www.adagio.com
Kentucky Bourbon and Bonfire sound delicious.


3- What about anything tempting from Dandelion Chocolate? (https://store.dandelionchocolate.com/pages/home)

I am fan of nougat, but otherwise I'm ok.

 

9/14/20

Nui Cobalt Designs perfumes...(just got her latest email): How about the scents being discontinued? The Critters? 

I don't think I can afford to get into another perfume house haha.

 

Do you decorate seasonally/for holidays?  Is there anything in particular you would like to that end?

I do for Christmas, but not so much for Halloween, even though I love Halloween more. I don't have any particulars for this question right now.

 

9/13/20

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

I adore Art Deco and Baroque. I'm here for the drama hahaha. I also like folk art in the very witch-y, hag-y vein. Pulp art is great too!

Who is your fashion icon(s)? 

Siouxsie and Wednesday Addams. In general I also like grunge, kinderwhore, and just looking like a low-level dungeon acolyte. 

What is your favorite mythological creature? 

Probably the Bannik. I like the liminal kind of things. Fond of gorgons and tsukumogami as well. It's hard to pick a favorite!

 

 is there anything you want from Lush (yes, I know they are always breaking people's hearts these days by discontinuing beloved items, but I for one still rely on their skincare, and haven't found other bubble bars that are anywhere near as good)?

Any of the Halloween bath bombs or bubble bars (or bath bombs in general). Rose Jam is always a good pick, and Vanillary is one of the only vanillas I really like (the other is NAVA Crystalline). 

 

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

I don't have a particular area because generally all facets of my life are some kind of wreck lol. Really it's a have-at situation from any angle. :P 

2)  How do you feel about the homemade fudge I sell in my etsy shop? (See link to my shop in my signature) -particular preferences, flavors (consider I take special flavor requests all the time!)?

The Forest Fruit sounds lovely.

3) How do you feel about keto or sugar-free, low carb baked goods or treats?? Its how I live, so Im pretty damn good at it.

I don't usually partake but am open-minded.

 

9/12/20

 

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. 

I think arm warmers would the best for me out of this list. I usually like earthy and dark colors. 

 

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/ Wow, what a great site! Patches: death and wine, memento mori, All Seeing Death's Head. Pins: Medieval Monsters: Man-Eater Pin, Medieval Monsters: Fire Dragon.

2)  https://www.mineralgypsy.com Not my jam right now.

3) https://www.redbubble.com/people/thelatestkate/shop Not my thing.

4) https://www.marikapaz.com/shop/ Wolf Beastie and Badger Faerie Pins are so stinking cute.

5) https://www.faunwood.com This art is so awesome. I love the prints that are mostly black and white with a little bit of red or aqua in them. Reminds me of Princess Mononoke a bit. ❤️ 

6) https://www.shannatrumbly.com/ Not my style.

7) https://fiddlersgreenzine.com Not my jam.

8 ) https://www.hedgespokenpress.com Not so much for me.

 

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! 

I'm ok.

 

What about www.drawingsbynicole.com? Anything specific? 

These are lovely, but not quite my style.

 

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

In general I like cold process and hot process soaps. 

 

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!

You should definitely post some pics! :D 

 

9/11/20

 

Is there anything you'd like from the UK? 

I generally appreciate things that are regional. So if your area has some kind of specialty it's known for, that'd be great to try. 

 

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

I don't usually collect items like that, but most Ghibli stuff is adorable.

 

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 do really love tea and tea cups! I don't think there's a tea I'm not fond of. I think my favorites are Earl Grey and jasmine, but I like many blends too.

 

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

My favorite atmosphere spray ever is Exotic Bazaar. I got a sample from the Post a long time ago and have always wanted a bottle. I also really like bread-scented candles. I think it was Bath & Body Works that had a french bread one that I adored. Incense is also good too!  

 

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

I have a young son and two cats. All are pretty spoiled, haha! 

 

9/9/20

 

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

A patch sounds pretty cool!

 

 

9/8/20

 

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

Nice art, but not my style.

 

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

I do like custom dyed yarn, and typically favor blues, grays, and greens. I don't have a preference on weight or fiber. I am just not a fan of really bright colors. 

 

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

I am a big fan of Korean skincare. I use sheet masks often and will always use a serum or ampoule. I am a sucker for the cute packaging lol. I also like Japanese tea cups and stationary accessories. 

 

 

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

I usually go to the dollar store with a particular mission in mind, like shopping for birthday party things or looking for some kind of thing to help with organization. Sometimes I go there looking for cheap glass items, like vases. I’m not there often to be honest, but it is fun to look around.

 

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?

Those cherries sound fantastic! I also love spicy pickles. The syrups sound fun, but other than sakura I tend to not like floral flavors. I’m a big fan of lemon, though!

 

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??

I am just happy to participate in this. It’s so nice to think of someone you don’t know and do something kind for them. I appreciate the thought and energy of curating something for someone else.

 

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

I like knitting, so pretty yarn is always nice. I also like miniature dollhouses. Otherwise, having something that someone else made sounds great! I love the craft of other people. Whenever I'm at a fair (and have the funds) I always try to buy local pottery (usually mugs or bowls).

 

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

Fox Point is probably my favorite seasoning ever, so I’d never say no to that. I do fortunately live just 10 minutes away from one of their stores, so if I don’t receive that I won’t be heartbroken.

 

9/3/20

 

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

Sure! I don’t wear a lot of eyeshadow (mostly liquid eyeliner), but I always love soap. When I wear lipstick I usually wear reds or browns, but also haven’t been wearing lipstick much at all lately.

 

 

9/2/20

 

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

I like the cheshire and jack-o-lantern smiles, though I have a lot of face masks right now.

 

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?

All of those are beautiful! 

 

9/1/20

 

are you familiar with https://www.a-natural-alternative.com/ ?  Take a peak & let me know if you might like to try something.

All of those sound nice! I have really dry skin because of the climate where I live. Well, except for my face lol. I definitely got the oily genes there, unfortunately.

 

8/30/20

 

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!

I would love items from Japan! I’ve always wanted to get gashapon--they just seem so fun. I love the horror art and all of the super cute stuff too. I wish I lived near a Daiso, haha. I’ve always wanted to try sea grapes! I also love the scent of yuzu. Oh, and anything flavored sakura is awesome. The sweet potato and chestnut flavors for Kit Kats sound delicious. I’ve also always wanted Japanese Starbucks items, like the tumblers and mugs with sakura and Mt. Fuji on them. 

 

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. For self-care I like sheet masks and body scrubs. I also never seem to buy a pair of comfy slippers, even though I need some.

 

 

8/29/20

 

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

I love their bath streusel and hot/cold process soaps. I have wanted to try their Bookkeeper’s Butter, but never seem to budget for it. 

 

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

Luna Negra sounds interesting.
