I just have to start this ....Cellar Door just posted their Halloween goodies - I love their scents, soaps and candles - which of these might you fancy?

https://cellardoorbathsupply.com/collections/halloween-fall-collection?_kx=wJHWHTN2OASY0k5c5ZR301X0_-q-0iaglCjL2XDqO-E%3D.SE8AhX

 

no thank you. I do not use soaps and prefer wax melts to candles.

 

If you'd like handmade knit items, are you good with soft wools or do you prefer acrylic only

 

Whatever is used for nice tight socks

 

Are there any items you'd love for fall/halloweenie? (Ie mittens, hat, fingerless mitts, cowl, legwarmers)

 

socks, shawls. 

 

Anyone fancying the new Paintbox Soapworks or Witch Baby Soap Halloween launches?


no. But hoping luvmilk has some seasonal offerings in their bath salts. And actually coming back to this, Witch Baby salts if she leaves out the flowers and stuff. They clog my bathtub. 😬

 

What about Bath and Body Works?

 

A thousand times NO. Friends, I have very weird texture issues with bath products. I am on the spectrum and have sensory issues. Soaps, or bath gels with Shampoo textures (bath and bodyworks) give me heebie jeebies and make me gag. I usually use scrubs or Astrids Shower Cremes which are long gone and I miss so much

 

Would you be interested in an adult Halloween coloring book? I recently backed on kickstarter for one by a local gothic art market near me and it's due in during the swap period
 
no. I never color. 

 

What are some OCYL brands you've been wanting to dabble in? 


None. But older Arcana OOS is nice . Theres alot of older Arcana I never tried and you can not disappoint me there, even with your ratty tatty Arcana half used imps.
 
 I know a lot of us are witchy and have deeply held beliefs about the materials we use as part of our practice. If you're one of those individuals, are there certain herbs, crystals, etc that you do not want to receive
 
Not witchy
 

When you have a distinct preference for one holiday over another, What are some cross over items that actually work for both?

 

I will start. I associate Black cats with Halloween AND fall. I associate Pumpkins with both. Candles for both but incense only halloween. Witches for only halloween, but carnivals and fairs and all their yummy goodies (funnel cakes, caramel apples, popcorn balls) for autumn AND Halloween both. Nightmare Before Christmas is a genre I like All season and halfway through winter. LOL. We have both Jack for Halloween, then a Santa Jack for fall. :)  The Ghost and Mrs Muir is an old movie that for me is also fall and halloween both. PSL is both! Hot chocolate is both

 

One question (that is actually several questions) -- Local honey? Infused/flavored honey? Local infused/flavored honey with Southwest notes (jalapeno, other pepper, mesquite, acacia)?
 
JALAPEÑO HONEY YES PLEASE. Not CBD infused tho, Georgia is strict. 
 
Would you enjoy spooky stationary?
 
Yes! 
 
Do you have any interest in spooky squishmallows?
 
No. My cats would kill them. 😽
 
Does anything from JiJi Knight spark your interest?
 
No
 
Any spooky/weenie DVDs you're missing and would like in your collection? NMBC? the Crow? An old Hammer film? Dark Shadows? The Omen? Sleepy Hallow
 
I do not watch tv.
 
I just got the email that the Ectogasm Halloween Collection is live. Does anything interest you? https://www.ectogasm.net/collections/halloween
 
That cat with the pinnacle butt!
 
On a scale from Paprika Is a Heatwave to Let Me Eat a Peck of Pickled Ghost Chiles, how spicy is too spicy, and how spicy is just right?
 
Pretty spicey! 
 
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!
 
No, thank you
 
I love making stickers!! If I could design you some stickers, what would you love to have? It could be halloween themed or not!
 
Witchy cats!
 
Homemade canned and baked and concocted goodies? Any aversions?  
 
Love, love, love (especially since I am fully vaxxed now)
 
If I could make you some of my fudge, what would you prefer?
 
Maple, pumpkin, dark chocolate, cookies and cream
 
Are you open to trying different indie perfume houses if I find a scent that I think you'd enjoy?

No
 
 

Would you be interested in a bag like we sell in our etsy shop?    https://twinklentwilight.etsy.com

- if so, but you don't see fabric you like maybe link to some photos of fabric you like?

- we can do small box bags or pencil / cosmetic / notions type bags too.  or with a drawstring on top instead of a zipper.

- you don't HAVE to use them just for knitting/crochet, you can use them for cross stitch or even not as project bags.

 

OH THEY ARE ALL LOVELY BUT FAT BLACK CATS ARE BESTEST EVER. 

 

If you are a yarnie, are you interested in a ceramic yarn bowl?  I have an extra Harry Potter (I know, I know) one from Lennymud that I bought before the whole JKR debacle and it didn't profit her in any form anyway.  I believe it's Gryffindor themed.

 

I had to look up yarn bowls! Its super cute, but, I need to read up on how to use one. 😳

 

If you are a yarnie, I'd love to gift some yarn from my stash so give me an idea of colors / weight / material / yardage you'd like.  

 

Fingering weight, pumpkin colored, purples, blues, grays. Currently making shawlettes that use 400 yards. 

 

Are you interested in trying some of our "thunder butter"?  It's like tiger balm or icy hot, but with herbs, beeswax, cayenne or ghost pepper, menthol, wintergreen. 

cbd version or no?

 

No thank you (my skins reactive)

 

I need to inventory our canned goods but do you like things like peach jam, cardamom plum jam, peach butter, plum butter, pickles, applesauce with nothing added, applesauce with red hots, dried apples or pears, bread and butter pickles, dill pickles, blackberry jam, huckleberry jam, candied jalapenos?  

 

candied jalapenos

huckleberry jam

cardamom plum jam

 

Any interest in things from our garden like dried mint, catnip, lavender, rose petals, dill weed or dill seeds, sage, rue, mugwort, rosemary?

 

lavender and rose petals

 

How about alcoholic things like rose petal liqueur, lavender vanilla bean liqueur, various flavors of mead (chocolate orange, strawberry mango, whatever my son is making)?

 

No mead but Any flower liquors! 

 

 Pumpkin bread or zucchini bread?  How about blueberry zucchini bread with a lemon glaze?  

 

Yes. ❤️blueberry zucchini bread with a lemon glaze

.
 Any interest in the August releases that got announced today? https://blackphoenixalchemylab.com/product-tag/august-2022/
 
Oh! how fun! I ordered half bottles in. decant circle of the ones I was most interested in which were Lav Buttercream, Ceres, The pistachio trio and the Butternut Squash trio and Choc Doob. ❤️
 

I have a new question! Do you wear nail polish, and if so, would you like some? What colors or finishes?

 

I do not.


Would you be interested in a tumbler like these? If so, what theme would you like it to be? Glitter or no glitter? What color do you want the liquid to be or would you prefer the blood drip look?

 

No Thank you.


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

 

No thank you.


How do you feel about ribbons?  Is there anything in particular you are looking for if you'd want some?  What about ribbon remnants?  Colors/textures?

 

Silk ribbons in vintage hues.


Would you be interested in any skincare items?  Anything you would not want? 

 

I work part time for a skin care youtuber. I am good, thank you. 

 

New question: Is anyone else interested in the latest Sphere & Sundry release? https://sphereandsundry.com/offerings/bpals-of-exalted-venus-ii/

Or other S&S offerings?

 

No thank you

 

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

 

Infused liqueur is always good here, I love artisan and cottage crafting! Yes, yes, yes. The chocolate chai sounds amazing! 

 

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

 

I have a TON of wax, shameful amounts, really! But… ok, what about pistachio pumpkin cupcake, or blueberry zuchinni waffle cone? Thats my jam. 

 

How about lotion bars?f

 

No thank you.

 

Bird and Blend tea just did their Autumn drop! Anything look good to you? https://www.birdandblendtea.us  (Also, if you're not a pumpkin person, I invite you to check out the rest of their offerings, which are always exceptional!)    

 

 

Arcana Craves halloween drop! Anything catching your eye? https://arcanacraves.com/

 

I think I bought the obes I am most interested in, but you could make ne a decant of the new strawberry and new pumpkin one. ❤️

 

I feel like with some of the witchy/seasonal stuff it might be helpful to know everyone's signs.  If you're interested in that kind of thing, what's your sign? 

 

Nah. 

 

Would you like anything from The Pickety Witch? (I'm going to the Vegas Oddities and Curiosities Expo next weekend, and she's vending there, so it may not matter if an item is in stock or not on the website!) https://www.thepicketywitch.com/

 

https://www.thepicketywitch.com/products/pumpkin-cauldron-halloween-enamel-pin-collection-packaged-with-lavender

https://www.thepicketywitch.com/products/pumpkin-kitten-halloween-enamel-pin-collection-packaged-with-lavender

 

 

so these nail polishes keep showing up on my instagram and they are kinda vampy--do you wear polish and do any of these float your boat?  NOTE I have never worn Holo Taco stuff so cannot vouch for quality just the vibes are super witchy 🙂

https://www.holotaco.com/collections/dark-rainbow-collection

 

No polish please

 

I have another new question! Favorite bands/artists? Perhaps you'd be interested in a DIY patch to sew onto your jacket/pants/bag or maybe pins or a sticker or anything DIY-ish?

 

No patch or stickers I think. I am a cycle instructor so my interests are all over the place based on what I can make a class profile to. I currently am using in my playlists:  The Prodigy, Nothing but Thieves, David Guetta, Elderbrook, Rufus Du Sol, Armin Van Buuren, Rez, Swedish House Maffia, Grabbitz, Two Feet, Deadmaus, Jackson Wang, T Pain, Bob Moses, Cardi B, Little Sis Nora, Yellow Claw… get the idea? 

 

I actually do not listen to music outside of the gym as I teach ten classes a week. 

 

oooh I am reviewing my switch witch help answers from 2017 and was reminded of Lush--there used to be a big Lushie/BPALista crossover at one point.  Is that still the case?  If so dearest pumpkin are you a Lushie?  Is there anything from Lush you are coveting?  Their halloweenie stuff is out here: https://www.lushusa.com/halloween/?cgid=halloween&pmid=604&start=0&sz=28

 

I do not like Lush because I do not use soap bars and have never tried their other products.
