Does anything from Paintbox Soapworks catch your eye (http://paintboxsoapworks.com/)? no scrubs, I think I noted in my questionnaire i can't use them. Would like to try Cathedral of Pumpkins, Putney Rd or GOAT in soap or lotion! 

 

Does anything from the Trading Post's etsy page catch your eye (https://www.etsy.com/shop/bptradingpost)? nothing atm

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! wouldn't mind trying any kit kats! also like kawaii things, stationary, fountain pens and ink, stuffies. Would love an omamori or daruma doll--I've seen them and tried to make my own, but not the same obv. lol.

 

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. can't think of any. I try to do a little yoga daily

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. the soaps all look nice! i do have to be careful about soaps with herbs, flower petals and leaves and such in them, because they make a mess to clean out of my tub.

9/2/20

 

Would you like a face mask from one of my favorite artists? https://akumuink.com/collections/facemasks Not unless they make them with ties instead of ear loops. The loops don't play nicely with my ears, glasses etc. lol

 

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? they are gorgeous! i can't tell if they tie or use ear loops though.

 

 

9/3/20

 

Would you like anything from here? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TaterRoundsBeauty Since I'm not going out much, I'm not wearing much makeup! the caramel apple lip balm sounds lovely though.

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!

 

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 really want some crumpet rings. lol

 

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

 

Is there anything you'd like from Penzeys (https://www.penzeys.com/)? omg my cabinet is stuffed with Penzeys. I love them. a gift card would be appreciated though!

 

9/8/20

 

Art and artists - anyone dig any of this? https://www.studiodesade.com/  (They also do masks, see here.)  As I said in the SW chat, I liked what they posted at Dragon Con especially the lovely Iron Man print.

 

If you knit/crochet/weave, would you like custom dyed yarn?  And if so do you have preference on weight, fiber, colors? absolutely! no real preferences, i can work with anything. 

 

what is one fun/frivolous thing for $20 or less that you’d enjoy? gosh, i don't know. I've been really good about either talking myself out of things or making my own/substituting what I have, so I honestly can't think of anything.

 

If I sent you to a dollar store with $20, what would you walk out with? been so long since I was in one I can't recall. lol. If I'm honest, if somebody handed me $20 I'd probably say 'thank you, you just paid my water bill for next month' 😆

 

(omitting the 9/9 question because i asked it. hehe)

 

9/11/20

 

Is there anything you'd like from the UK? Cadbury Roses if they still make them; teas, especially Bewley's (well that's Irish, but you know what I mean); and jelly babies!!

 

Do you have a particular fandom you'd like stuff from? hm. Marvel, specifically Iron Man/Tony Stark, is the only thing that comes to mind right off.

 

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 love tea. I do however have a pretty good stash of it right now, but would love to try samples of new things

 

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

 

Do you share your home with any loved ones (human, feline, canine, etc.) who might enjoy a tiny treat too?  the cats are well provided for, thanks. lol

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! the notebooks and stickers are great!

 

What about www.drawingsbynicole.com? Anything specific? cute stuff, but most of it looks like mom things, which do not apply to me. lol

 

Does anything from www.vapidlacquer.com stick out to you? they are neat, but as of right now it looks like most of their stuff is 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!  Pix would be neat to see

 

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/ The cat butt pin is hilarious, and the dragon pin is cute!

2) https://www.mineralgypsy.com pretty jewelry, though I'm not wearing what I have that much of late since I'm not leaving the house much.

3) https://www.redbubble.com/people/thelatestkate/shop Ooh, their phoenix design is so pretty

4) https://www.marikapaz.com/shop/ I like the stickers and bookmarks!

(note to my witch, i left off the other 4 sites that were on this list because while neat they were not exactly my thing. just fyi)

 

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. OMG those would be great! especially arm warmers. I like most all colors, particularly purples, blues, teals, greys

 

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

 

9/13/20

 

Do you have a favorite art style/movement/artist?  art deco, maybe? 

 

Who is your fashion icon(s)?

 

What is your favorite mythological creature? I've always liked dragons, but I'm feeling drawn to phoenixes much more lately.

is there anything you want from Lush? omg, my last SW loaded me up with Lush! I love it but I'm still working my way through my stash.

 

Do you need any astrological work done, since thats one of my professions? Any particular areas you could utilize a consultation? just a general hint about a way forward, particularly in the fields of writing, work in general, maybe whether my dream of running a food truck would ever be feasible, and whether the world is going to survive the current multiple conflagrations literal and not.

 

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!)? FUDGE. 💖 anything chocolate, and not vegan.

 

How do you feel about keto or sugar-free, low carb baked goods or treats?? no thanks

 

9/14/20

 

Anything you'd like from Future Primitive: https://futureprimitivesoap.co.uk All the soaps sound wonderful!

Do you have an Etsy wishlist? yes, I think this is it; https://www.etsy.com/people/hellcatblue?ref=hdr-fav&tab=items Note to my witch, not everything favorited on here is something I want! some of it is for reference. Like, the utility belts made from upcycled jeans are marked because I am making myself one; and the tiny Iron Man kitty pewter is marked to support the maker because I just bought him from her at Dragon Con. lol

 

(omitting question about Herb N Eden soaps because I posted it. lol)

 

Nui Cobalt Designs perfumes...(just got her latest email): How about the scents being discontinued? The Critters? https://nuicobaltdesigns.com/collections/critters-2020?page=1

or other ones? I'd like to try the Tiki Bar, as I have become fond of tiki things recently.

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

 

Do you decorate seasonally/for holidays?  Is there anything in particular you would like to that end? i decorate some, but I think I'm good as far as those go!

I know the tea question has been asked, but what, specifically, about Adagio teas? I love Adagio but I am totally set on teas for now. A gift card would not go amiss though.

 

What about anything tempting from Dandelion Chocolate? (https://store.dandelionchocolate.com/pages/home) mmm, all the bars sound good, but then, i won't turn any chocolate down, expensive or cheap.

 

9/16/20

 

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.) eh, they are okay

 

How about from https://twinklentwilight.etsy.com ?  (This shop belongs to @twilighteyes - we can maybe crochet some of the unicorns that are sold out...) i'm actually good on project bags right now!

 

Would you enjoy anything from my friend Brian's Etsy shop? https://www.etsy.com/shop/BrianSerwayArt? they are neat but i don't really have a place for them right now

Are you a sock person?  If so what are your favourite kinds to wear?  Do you have a sockdreams wishlist? i do like socks! crew generally, cotton, not overly tight; something that works well with high top tennies. I don't have a wishlist.

 

If you're not near one, is there anything from Trader Joe's you'd like? TJ's is across town and i rarely go anyway. I think I'm ok thanks.

Candles! Anything from these places catch your fancy?

https://cantripcandles.com/collections (restocks Friday 9/18 at 9:00 PST) looks like they sold right out! shame, the fig sounded nice.

https://miruscandles.com/collections nothing calling my name there

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? i can't think of anything right off

 

Would you be interested in some boozy chocolates (or anything else) from https://www.chocolatemoonshine.com/ ? oh, anything chocolate, as previously noted. lol. All those truffle bars sound amazing!

 

9/18/20

 

Witchee, assuming you like home made/home canned condiment goodies, what is your spice level preference?  medium, probably, I like spice, but I don't like hot for hot's sake, i like flavor.
 

Would you be interested in anything from Cellar Door Bath Supply Co.?  oh they are good! I like Blood Magick, October Road and Twice Bitten, but really I'd try most anything of theirs.

 

 

9/19/20

 

Lilith are up! Is there anything from the release that you want? Decant or full bottles? I posted in the SW thread several I'd like as decants (opens another window to get list): I would love to sniff any of the following: Aoede, Melete, Mneme;  Boop; Cannibal Lady Macbeth; Faster Kittycat;  Life, the Sculptor, Moulds Unceasingly; Shadows and Light, and Velut Luna Statu Variabilis (and maybe Solved Mysteries--the lab's red musk doesn't often work on me but the other notes sound lovely); and from Fatherhood, A Night in the French Quarter and Walking My Daughter to Class.

 

How would you feel about recipes?  yes please.

 

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.  it looks like the Stuckeys stores my fam used to stop at when we traveled when i was a kid! as such, I suspect anything they have would be wonderful.

 

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.  don't look at me, I'm a confused mess.

 

9/21/20

 

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 knit too! but i love other people's knitting. Washcloths'dishcloths would be welcome. I would always love another scarf--thin or thick, doesn't matter. I prefer not-fringed, it gets in my way. Fave colors are blues and purples, jewel tones in general--if you know the season-color thing, I'm more of a summer than anything, and least an autumn. Not allergic to any fibers, though alpaca is the BEST. ❤️

 

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? anything Disney is great! I like pins, particularly any park-specific ones, Pooh, Marvel, Galaxys Edge (I know its not in those 2 parks, just throwing it out there in case you got near something, lol) If Epcot still has anything Figment (the little purple dragon who used to be their mascot) would love that too. Or a pair of unusual mouse ears, unless they are crazy expensive! lol

 

9/22/20

 

Would you like any of Snag Tights’ Halloween offerings and if so, what size? I dont wear tights much.

 

Do you prefer getting one or two really nice/more expensive things or several smaller/less expensive little things? Or do you have no preferance? matters not to me. Whate4ver my witch chooses for me is appreciated!

 

Witchee, do you like tea? If so, what kind? yes. I think I noted on my questionaire, but in case not, i love rooibois and chais, English/Irish breakfast, interesting herbal blends, really most anything. I do have a good stash right now though.

 

Witchee, do you want anything?  Shirts, mugs, postcards from Anarchist Seattle, Portland, or New York.... https://www.redbubble.com/people/litlnemo/shop?artistUserName=litlnemo Anarchist postcards would be great1

 

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! omg yes! most anything!

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 like jazz, classical, world music, EDM/house/lofi/chill

 

Do you have an Amazon wishlist?  If you do and you're ok with getting stuff from it, please share the link! I think I posted it already but just in case not: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2G7YQ7D8KWZIU/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_1?_encoding=UTF8&type=wishlist

 

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 perfume, because for some reason it turns into buttered popcorn on my skin! but in bath and body products, and in food and drink, definitely

 

Candy corn – love it or loathe it?  Or just don’t care much one way or another? eh, don't loathe, but def don't like

 

9/23/20

 

https://www.poesieperfume.com/loose-leaf-tea  <---- would you be interested in receiving tea and / or scents from Poesie? ooh, the teas sound nice, particularly Olympus, Fancy a Cuppa, and Union. Of the scents, I'd love to sniff Cardigan, Ida B Wells, Athena, Cybele and Aphrodite

 

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. I will not turn food stuff down. lol
