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

I love Paintbox!  The Nihilist Cream and Buttercup scrub are two of my favorites, and I like the soaps and body scrubs as well.

Favorite scents include Blackbird, GTFO, The Englishman, Yuletide Mariner (winter LE), Gooseberry Beach, Sleepy Lagoon, Gardensong (summer scents)

I lean toward the fresher or woodsier scents generally. I am curious about Demeter Forsaken and Hex on the Beach from the weenies.

 

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

Nothing currently but I'll update this if anything new goes up.

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! 

Chestnut kit kats sound interesting.  I love pretty stationery, fruity candies, black sesame, the glazed rice cracker mixes, stuff like that.

 

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.

Most of my self-care stuff is more limited by time than anything.  Like I love painting my nails but can't stay put long enough to let them dry properly, I have henna'd my hair I think once this year and I love my colored hair.  I should take the time to take better care of my feet, they're usually cracked, and my arms are rough/bumpy but it's like they work just fine and don't hurt or anything so I don't take the time/expense to find something to fix it.

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

The wool wash sounds interesting, and I use liquid handsoap in the kitchen all the time. The Cherry, or Oatmeal scents might be nice

9/2/20

 

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

good on masks since my mom sews them

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? 

good on masks here

 

9/3/20

 

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

Oh good grief, I totally don't *need* anything, but I am still going to go nuts looking at the shadow pigments and come back to this...

Blood Moon, Lucia or Redrum, Grape Soda, mashed banana, vintage peach   Enchantress lipcolor

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?

Brandied cherries, jams, pickles, all wonderful.  I'm a huge fan of lavender in like everything but food 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?? 

 

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

I love artsy things made for me, I love seeing people's talent.  But I also do a lot of fiddling with crafts, so anything would be loved, really.  (I should probalby say minimal yarn though, like if you handspin or dye I would be all over that, but I have totes of yarn waiting to be used.

 

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

bwahahahahahaha....half my spice cabinet is Penzeys at this point.

 

9/8/20

 

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

 

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

Colors probably no neons, otherwise I'm open, and as long as it's pleasant to the touch I'm not partial on fiber.  I do prefer plied yarn to singles and don't work a whole lot with the super bulky side, but anything bulky to lace is wonderful.

 

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

Don't laugh, but just a stupid cheap jar of bubble stuff., just the plain old stuff we had growing up, no fancy wands, no scents, just the old plastic round wand and bubble liquid.

 

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

Candy, small hair scrunchies, probably cheap kitchen tools for yarn dyeing, mailing supplies, maybe garden stuff

 

9/9/20

 

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

notions would be lost on me, the cross stitch would be cool

 

9/11/20

 

Is there anything you'd like from the UK? 

 

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

 

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'd have to look at their stuff.  My favorite tea shop is Happy Lucky's Tea Shop (happyluckys.com) which is local to me, and my favorites are the Russian Caravan, Black Currant, and their oolongs.  I'm really up for trying anything except rooibos or anything with licorice root since I don't care for that weird sweet aftertaste.   I'm pretty full up on mugs and accessories.

 

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

Don't use much since my housemates are very smell-sensitive.

 

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

Live with 2 peoples, and we tend to share the snack goodies, and a crazy macaw who likes tearing up bottle corks as a treat.

9/12/20

 

Does anyone like the prints or items from www.ElissaMarieCreative.com ?

Cute but not really my style

 

What about www.drawingsbynicole.com? Anything specific?

nothing here thanks

 

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

trying to pare down my nail polish since I don't use it very often

 

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! 

That would be cool, I love other people's art

 

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!    all cool and talented, but nothing I can think to want besides maybe from thelatestkate

1) https://www.catcoven.com/

2) https://www.mineralgypsy.com

3) https://www.redbubble.com/people/thelatestkate/shop

 I adore her stuff!  Could do a notebook or sticker/magnet

The otter 'you can be a mess today', The platypus 'my own kind of beautiful', the bat 'I don't care if my best sucks', sloth 'hold on to your weird'  baby crow 'you will handle this' owl 'fucking delight',  pegasus 'mostly fabulous', puppy 'it's ok to be a work in progress' puppy 'no one knows what they're doing',  fox 'you're still nice to have around'

6) https://www.shannatrumbly.com/

7) https://fiddlersgreenzine.com

8 ) https://www.hedgespokenpress.com

 

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.  arm warmers or mittens, I do have like a men's m/l hand/arm size

 

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

the liquid lip stain type stuff, I already use cake mascara but still have plenty left.

 

9/13/20

 

Do you have a favorite art style/movement/artist?  not really any favorites, I like impressionist art, modern fantasy artists like Aria Fawn, to give you an idea art around here involves Van Gogh prints, Jerry Uelsmann, AB Word, a print that looks like a petroglyph of running deer...it's a bit all over the place. 

 

Who is your fashion icon(s)?   not applicable

 

What is your favorite mythological creature?  can't pick

is there anything you want from Lush?  not in particular

 

Do you need any astrological work done, since thats one of my professions? Any particular areas you could utilize a consultation? I feel like right now I'm too scattered to make use of it

 

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!)?  Holly makes awesome fudge (presuming she's not my witch since we've swapped a ton over the years).

 

How do you feel about keto or sugar-free, low carb baked goods or treats?? not dietarily necessary for any of us, but definitely would not be shunned.  I am trying to get us to cut back on sugar around here

 

9/14/20

 

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

they sound nice but nothing specific

Do you have an Etsy wishlist?

I have a ton of favorites under skyelyric over there

 

I wanted to share this link to a soapmaker I love and ask if y'all see anything you would like from them! https://www.herbneden.com/

the soaps sound interesting and not too heavily perfumed

 

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?

Missed the critters, need to look at the rest

 

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)? Bandit is her own caricature

 

Do you decorate seasonally/for holidays?  Is there anything in particular you would like to that end? I decorate for the seasons more than holidays, like I have a little bit of christmas and halloween stuff, but it's more generic winter or fall kind of things that I can just leave up. 
 

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

The old cider haus sounds good, but a lot of the other stuff is a bit foody for me.

 

I know the tea question has been asked, but what, specifically, about Adagio teas? 

I've ordered from them before and enjoy their teas, so I'm happy to get from them within my preferences (no rooibos, no licorice root)

 

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

I love chocolate but I'd be afraid the nuances of fancy chocolate would be lost on me.

 

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.)

the skull in the jar pin is adorable

 

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 actually have a couple of her bags and I love them.

 

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

He reminds me of another of my favorite artists, Aria Fawn.  I love the Petalbearer, Slimeglow, Honeyminer, Loner, Trance Crescent, and I have a soft spot for the Mail Kupo and Black Mage, because gaming nerd.

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

I am quite honestly a barefoot all the time person.  I like nice soft boot socks in the winter with my big clunky shoes and snowboots so my feet don't freeze, but I am not a socks for the sake of socks person. Also I have huge calves so cute socks are generally a no-go

 

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

I live near one 😃

 

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

I love local stuff!  It's fun to learn about my witch through stuff from their place in the world

 

do you have good feelings about Funko Pop? 

I think they're adorable but don't have a ton of room to display stuff

 

Candles! Anything from these places catch your fancy?

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

https://miruscandles.com/collections

https://briarwickcandles.com/collections

 

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 wouldn't know what, honestly.

 

Would you be interested in some boozy chocolates (or anything else) from https://www.chocolatemoonshine.com/ ?

generally interested in things like fudge, but nothing specifically from there, though their truffle bars are really pretty

 

9/18/20

 

Witchee, assuming you like home made/home canned condiment goodies, what is your spice level preference?  
If you mean heat-spicy, medium or lower is great. The milder it is, the more I can share it with the rest of the house.  I like hot food, but since my household is really sensitive, I've learned to do flavorful without heat for the most part, alas.

 

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

Soaps like Cannon Beach Daisy or Ginger Fizz

 

9/19/20

 

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

The Liliths are my favorite update, so I already jumped on a few decants and a blind bottle of Boop because I get the Lilith and puppydog every year.

 

How would you feel about recipes?  

Love them!  Send me your favorite recipes, chat about cooking with me, I love cooking/baking/candy witchery, you name it.

 

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. 

This is hilarious.  I collect pins to stick on my knapsack, so something like that would be fun, snacky stuff.

 

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. 

still working on this myself.  My sale box is categorized in a bead box with each compartment for a different thing, like GCs A-C or whatever.  My personal stuff is less organized, but all my bottles are in a wood box with labels on the tops.

 

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 have no allergies, and I love using and wearing other people's handywork. 

 

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? 

the aforementioned pin, either a generic park one (Epcot was always my favorite) or if characters,  anything Winnie-the-Pooh family, or Wall-E, Stitch, etc.

 

9/22/20

 

Would you like any of Snag Tights’ Halloween offerings and if so, what size?

since I'm not doing anything for halloween, probably not. 

 

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?

No preference.  You're doing something thoughtful for me, so that is awesome no matter what form you choose.

 

Witchee, do you like tea? If so, what kind?

Love tea, black, green, oolong, herbal, loose or bagged.    I don't care for rooibos or anything with licorice root but otherwise pretty much anything is fair game.

 

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

While I think it's hilarious, I can't think of anyting I'd have a use for.

 

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!

I wouldn't even know as far as styles, but I love the idea of this as it's something I've wanted to learn.

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.

I just love the idea of a CD of my witch's favorites--introduce me to what you love!  My only caveats would be no explicitly violent lyrics

 

Do you have an Amazon wishlist?  If you do and you're ok with getting stuff from it, please share the link!

 I do but it's a hot mess right now, will update if I go through it, mostly it's just miscellaneous art supplies and books, I'll try and make a list just of little things that would be helpful and then link it.

 

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?

I love the pumpkin food stuff, pumpkin bread, pie, etc, savory squash dishes...I'm not big on the pumpkin spice latte craze, I'd much rather do hot mulled cider or sweet chai for drinks.  Foodie perfumes tend not to play super well on me, so I avoid that kind of thing in body products and perfumes.

 

 

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

I like it during the appropriate season, but I think the other holiday themed candy corn is silly.

 

9/23/20

 

https://www.poesieperfume.com/loose-leaf-tea  <---- would you be interested in receiving tea and / or scents from Poesie?

things that sound interesting:

teas:Fancy a Cuppa and Albert+Victoria

scents: Charm of Making, Artemis, Cathy,  Pemberley, Oyster, Full Moon, Villa Diodati, Myself Invisible, Innocence

 

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?

This was my question, but if my witch is the kitchen crafty type, I would love whatever homemade goodies.  The catnip obviously is not relevant as I am the crazy catless lady.

 

9/25/20

 

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/

I love historical cookbooks and pottery

 

10/1/20

 

Would you be interested in anything from KBShimmer's new Fall nail polish collection or their Falloween collection?

The Creep It Together and Smashed are interesting, but I don't wear nail polish super often anymore.
