1.  Would you like anything from Paintbox Soapworks Halloween line? https://paintboxsoapworks.com/new-limited-edition/2022-weenie-collection/

 I looked a PBSW and unfortunately most of their halloween stuff has at least one death note in each offering.   (I don't love coffee scented things or most floral, fruit, or dirt.)  I totally have a wishlist of their other offerings though!

 

2.  Do you have any interest in Halloween or spooky squishmallows?

I love all spooky/halloween squishable things.  Cthulhu, bats, plague doctor, baphomet, black philip... 

 

3.  Anything from Bath & Bodyworks Halloween Line? 

I really wanted their bat wallflower night light!  (I have a haunted house one from them.)   BUT I went into the store and my store had a really cool Raven (on a blue/gray pumpkin) wallflower night light!!!   I want it!!  I also sniffed all the things and added what I like to my amazon fragrance wishlist.  I was really happy to see that all of the aromatherapy body care is now made without sulfates, parabens, or artificial dyes.  I also saw a sign that their soaps are there too.  I hope the rest of their body care gets there.

 

So anyway, I would gratefully accept car scent refills (and I love the crescent moon car scent holder), wall flower refills (and the raven wallflower), pillow mists (the aromatherapy line), candles, and fragrance mists or spray perfume.  And antibac.  

 

So here is my scent list: 

Dark Amber & Oud (candle)

Vanilla bean (candle)

Pumpkin Bonfire (this totally smells like CLOVE.  which is hilarious because their "pumpkin clove" scent smells like cinnamon.)  (candle or wall flower)

Warm Vanilla Sugar (wall flower)

Vanilla Birch (wall flower)

Enchanted Candy Potion (spray, wall flower, anti bac)

Vampire Blood (car scent, anti bac)

Into the Night (soap, mist, or spray perfume)

Eucalyptus Sage (aromatherapy line - pillow mist)

Cedar Ylang Ylang  (aromatherapy line - pillow mist)

Lavender Vanilla  (aromatherapy line - pillow mist)

 

4.  Autumn/Fall scents I love:   Resins, woods, cloves, roses, vanillas.

Ones I dislike:  dirt, leaves, apples, most fruits, most florals

Are they different for home vs body & bath??  I'm more forgiving for bath scents but still have pretty much the same preferences.   Pickier on home because of my respiratory issues.

 

5:  If I were to make you a set of arm warmers/ fingerless mitts, what color(s) & style would you like?  Gothy.  Black/Purple or Black/White stripes

Long or short?  Medium

 

6.  I'm going to Disneyworld in late September! I'll be going to all four parks and attending both the Not-So-Scary Halloween Bash and Epcot's Food and Wine Festival. Is there ANYTHING from Disney that you would like? Is there something you collect that perhaps you'd enjoy a Disney version of (tea, socks, enamel pins, plushies etc etc etc)???

Take me with you!    Anything and everything NMBC (not socks though since I have huge feet.)  

 

7.  I make lightweight hairfalls- would you be interested in some? Either to incorporate into a costume or just for your own year-round use? If so, name your colors and preferred length, and if you have any fiber allergies you want me to take note of!

I have some hairfalls and never ever wear them (nor do I even leave the house most of the time) so would be wasted on me right now.  

 

8.  I am going to Dragon Con for the first time! Which of these BPALs do you want?

If they have Snake Milk or anything else on my BPAL wish list, I'm game but no peaches please.

 

9-16 are my questions

 

17.  How do you feel about raisin in baked goods? 

It kind of depends on the baked good?  Oatmeal raisin cookies - yes.  Those bread rolls that are shaped like muffins from sbux?  yes.  Other things, not so sure.

 

18.  Lego? If so, what types, minifigures?

Not really my thing.

 

19.  Favorite spooky fictional characters?

Jack and Zero?   Demogorgon?   Hot vampires?   Goblin King?   Ringwraiths?  (Is Bad Horse spooky?)  

 

20.  Luvmilks seasonal goodies are out! What scents and formats appeal to you, my little pumpkin?   https://www.luvmilk.com/mm2022.html#/

Dusting Powder:  Scarecrow with Girlfriend or Lover

Bath Milk or Salts, Sugar Scrub, :  Clown with Girlfriend, Pegasus with Girlfriend, Scarecrow with Girlfriend or Lover

 

And I always adore their lip balm in Baby Bat and Aphrodite's Altar.

 

21.  Would you like a Pyrex 4-cup Nightmare Before Christmas bowl with lid?   (Can also get Star Wars and various Disney ones.)

I have enough of the 4 cup and 7 cup but I'd love one of the rectangular ones if you can find it!  (and I love pyrex 4 cup with bats!!)

 

22.  August Tea's fall sale starts tomorrow, 20% off everything on the site with code FALL20.  Is there anything you would like to try, my Pumpkin?  https://august.la/

OMG YES.  I have all kinds of wishes from here under my amazon beverage list.  And I have a "permanent" 20% off in the Summer Swap spreadsheet under offerings, you have to sign up with their email and they'll send you a coupon.

 

23.  I grow lots of different herbs and I'm dehydrating loads of them right now, are you possibly interested in: catnip, sage (culinary and/or purple), oregano (Greek and/or purple), rosemary, plantain herb, chives, celery, licorice mint, lovage leaf, mugwort, mint, spearmint, chives, borage leaf, blackberry leaf, raspberry leaf, comfrey, lemon balm, or others? 

 I would love everything except catnip, mugwort, and lemon balm.

 

24.  My peacock is molting his tail feathers, would you like some?

I have a ton from you but will always take more!

 

25.  I'm learning embroidery. Is there a simple motif or symbol (like a pumpkin, a black cat, flowers, spider web…) you might like hand embroidered?

BAT... or pibble.

 

26.  Would you like either a basket or a tablemat (that works as a place to put hot dishes as well as being decorative).

I make both from fabric wrapped rope that is sewn together.  Could be a bread/rolls basket, a yarn bowl for knitting or crochet, or a big flat mat.

Yes!!!  Either or both.  Preference to basket if just one.

 

27.  I'm taking a trip to New Orleans, anything you'd like food or souvenir-wise? 

Allll of the food.  I love me some crawfish etouffee or crawfish po boys from N'awlins.  Everything from Cafe du Monde (beignets probably don't ship well tho.)   I would totally want a Cafe du Monde mug if they were at least 18oz but I only see 11oz on their website.  Oh wait!  They have a "Colossal Mug" that is 24oz!  (I would use it for soup!)   Cafe du Monde coffee & chicory coffee PODS!!!  YES!!!  Also  I like the "coffee and beignet" magnet, patio and awning magnet, or the Fleur de Lis magnet.   Creamy or chewy pralines, cuccia chocolates... !   Also would totally take some Mam Papaul's red bean seasoning mix, king cake mix, gumbo mix, jambalaya mix...  Some kind of fun green hot sauce!   Voodoo doll, gris gris bag, candles, etouffee or fun cajun spices, local artwork or jewelry, post cards... 

 

28.  Are your booklists linked somewhere, and up to date? 

Link to my amazon book wish list is in my signature under wish list / SW help.  Books aren't really a priority unless I have them listed as "highest priority".
 

29.  Do you have fur kids and would they like treats as well?? 

My spoiled dogs always love treats.  Prefer USA made / grain free.   If you're in the Seattle area, I am almost out of my Mud Bay bulk cookies (grain free, all kinds!) and would love more.  Or a GC to Mud Bay.

 

30.  Do you have any interest in trying my infused moonshine whiskey? I've been thinking of experimenting with autumn spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove) and maybe a chocolate chai. 

Of course!!  Nom!

 

31.  Any interest in spooky shape wax melts in your favorite candle scents? (What are your favorite candle scents?)

Sure!  Probably vanillas, marshmallow, patchouli, clove... same as perfume scents too.  I used to have a spiced plum candle I adored.  I like men's/unisex fragrances in candles as well, like Drakkar Noir, CK1, CKB.  Nostalgic.   Witches Brew from Yankee is one of my favorite scents!    I probably have candle and melt scents on my wishlist (under PBSW), etsy lists, maybe amazon fragrance list, and up above under the Bath & Bodyworks question since I liked some of their candle scents this year.

 

32.  How about lotion bars?

I like the concept but I never use them and they end up going bad.   

 

33.  Bird and Blend Tea Co. just came out with their Autumnal tea drop! Anything look good to you? (Also, if you're not a pumpkin-y person I invite you to explore their other offerings, cause everything they do is magical) Check 'em out: https://www.birdandblendtea.us

I already have ALL the Bird & Blend on my amazon beverages wishlist.     Love love love!  (For the autumn season, maybe the sticky pumpkin chai, campfires & vampires?)

 

34.  Do you need any BPAL storage?  Bottles?  Imps?

Nope.  I have extra now because of all of my destashing.

 

35.  Does anything catch your eye from my local tea purveyors? https://www.fridaytea.com/ (I hope they make more Womb of Doom soon!) or https://perennialtearoom.com/

I think I have everything I want from Friday Tea.  I'd take things from Perennial Tearoom!  Smoky Russian Caravan, Almond Sugar Cookie, Vanilla Cream, Hot Cinnamon Spice (although really, could it be better than Harney & Son's??  I would have to pit them against each other), Ginger Peach, Northwest Blackberry, Seattle Chai, Lapsang Souchong, maybe the Turkish Blend?   

 

36.  Can you use a mug?  What kind/size do you like?

I prefer mugs with a lid (to keep out dog hair and small flying things) or soup bowl sized ones (for soup.)  I have some on my amazon wishlists.  I also collect the Starbucks City Mugs (demitasse size or full size.)   If a mug isn't at least 18 oz, I'm not really interested, lol.  (but the demitasse size take up less room and are easier to display.)

 

37.  One of my favorite Etsy chandlers is having a sale, anything catch your feathery fancy?  https://www.etsy.com/shop/TeresaLynnsSimpleLux

I still love super highly scented candles that absolutely REEK and waft fragrance while they're burning and also wax melts.    I have a couple of electric wax burners.  

*  Clove Cigarettes

*  Dragon's Blood

*  Saffron Perique

*  Sisters of the Moon

*  Headache

--- I just don't have the energy to go through each of their candle scents individually and they didn't think to put them all in the photos or anything.

 

38.  Does anything appeal from the Nocturne Alchemy Halloween Update? I just placed my order, so I can add-on a treat or two for you until Monday night, September 12th! https://nocturnealchemy.com/collections/limited-collection 

I am ordering Googly Bat, Vintage Werewolf, and the Sommeil but I added others to my Wishlist / SW Help.  I would love Neon Wolf,and/or Neon Vampiress and lots of decants!

 

39.  Quick question - If I were ordering some marmalade or other jammy things, would you be interested in any of the following?  Orange Marmalade, Blood Orange Marmalade, or whole fruit jams in strawberry, peach, current, or triple berry?

I have peach and strawberry so maybe triple berry, currant, or blood orange marmalade?

 

40.  For decor what general Halloween style is preferred? Traditional, cute spooky, dark and gothic, horror, etc? More descriptive the better!!

I don't actually decorate for Halloween, I just have kind of the same decor all year round that includes skeletal creatures, skeletal/NMBC themed kitchen set (when I don't live with other people anyway like right now I am living with family), bats everywhere, black and white Brian Serway artwork on the walls, Gideon/Harrow/Nona large prints (that need frames, lol!), Black/Grey/White marble (and wood painted to look like marble in those colors), granite grey desk, gargoyles/grotesques, cthulhu (I have the cutest little purple Cthulhu amigurumi from a Switch Witch!)   I also have things like Krampus, Labyrinth, NMBC, etc. Funko Pops, would love Demogorgon things, Black Philip, etc.  Also Unicorns and Equines (Friesians!) but spooky dark versions, so Kelpies and things too.  Like Abigail Larson / Iren Horrors artwork vibe with rich darker jewel tones (I have a Iren Horror's Hecate print as a phone case (from society6.) or Brian Serway's bats/equines/crows vibe.)   (Of the ones he has available right now, I have Dusk Mother, Nightbringer, No Nightmares, The Fox & the Crow.)    https://www.etsy.com/shop/BrianSerwayArt?  or https://bserway.com  so ... yeah.   I like jewel toned blues and purples (cool leaning) or rich cool leaning blackened reds or burgundys/wines as well for color pops.   Zero warm leaning colors like beige, orange, yellow, brown, etc.  (shudder)  I don't even really love orange pumpkins although I tolerate them for outside fall decor.    No inside though!!!

 

So kind of a goth/dark/but also some cute?   

 

   I love coffin shaped frames and shelves/trays, bat shaped bowls/tray/shelves/key hooks (I'd LOVE an iron/metal bat with spread wings and little dips from his wings as hooks if that makes sense!  I have an octopus one right now that I hang necklaces and other things on.)  I have an altar for Hecate with a bone colored statue, iron cauldron, chalice, etc.  I'd love to have more altar space someday, I kind of took over St. Expedite's spot in the main house (sorry Expedite!)  

 

Someday I hope to have a "map room" where I have large posters of maps from all of my favorite fantasies, like Middle Earth, Narnia, Four Corners of Civilization, Tamriel, Hyrule, Randland, etc.  But not anytime soon unfortunately.  It would probably also be the gaming room for tabletop and RPG.

 

41.  (please read in thread as it's rather long)  Are you interested in anything from Solstice Scents? https://www.solsticescents.com

I would love to try a sample of the Estate Amber!  I wouldn't say no to the Lavender Vanilla Glissade.  

 

42.  Do you have a strong preference for whether packages are numbered 1-13, thus curating your experience somewhat, or do you prefer the random draw method where you can follow your whims and open in whatever order you choose?

Whatever is easier for my sender!
