Here's where all my answers and misc helpful info will go for my dear Witch.

 

1) would you like a scarf?  If so, colors, length, iwide or skinny?  Bulky yarn or thin and slinky?? 
How about some dishcloths, for the kitchen?  Or spa cloths for the bathroom?  If so, which?  Any particular colors?? 

 

I honestly do not need anything like this, I have so many scarves already. As for dishcloths, I prefer something without a knitted texture because they get stuff stuck in the weave. I'd take a knitted hood though I know thats a lot more work, so it's not really necessary - if someone does want to knit a hood for me, I'd like it roomy, and a darker green or darker grey

 

2) Cat Coven - this was my question - I love her stuff, not much I wouldn't take.

 

3) Green Salmon - this was my question - Again, almost anything except green tea and matcha, and none of their sugar-filled drink mixes unfortunately.

 

4) Favorite treats - sugar free only(no maltitol) milk chocolate (these brands dont have maltitol which makes me sick: The Good Chocolate, ChocZero, High Key, Lilys), gummies, truffles, filled milk chocolate, homemade gluten free and sugar free goodies, love chocolate covered jellies and truffles, choc and PB, chocolate covered things, etc...if its Milk chocolate and white chocolate Im good with it. 

 

5) Snag Tights: Gully in size F is my first choice, Caught in my Web in size F 2nd choice ;)

 

6) Anything from the UK

 

7) What Halloween things off RedBubble do you like? Share link if possible. - this was my question - i have a LOT of things I like on there but not necessarily spooky

 

8 ) Enamel pins - I have a collection, but I dont do anything with them right now. Someday I may. I prefer pins having to do with esoteric occult pirates sarcastic cats green man hedge witch runes norse and celtic culture and not in that order. lol

 

9) Hairfalls - if they look like a forest witch would wear them, so, natural greens, grey, silver, metallics, no pastels.

 

10) Serge Luten perfumers - would love to try  not into sweet heavy florals, so...

 

11) Haus of Gloi Halloween update: I havent experienced this company much. but these sound delightful: pumpkin butter in Olde Cider Haus, Samhain, Spider Silk; Candles in Apple Milk, Kitchen Witch, Red Roan

 

12)The Grey Muse Etsy shop enamel pins - pretty, but no thank you

 

13)   Future Primitive Soaps has released it's fall stuff.  Would you like anything from there dearest witchee?  https://futureprimitivesoap.co.uk  YES PLEASE!!! Rook & Raven shampoo bar, Money Magic soap,  No. 11 body cream, Four & Twenty Blackbirds Cream or soap, Owlett's End soap, 

 

14) Elderberry syrup - only if it's made with non-sugar sweetener

 

15) Do you want anything from Sea Witch Botanicals? I'd love ince3nse in Samhain, scented veil in Mabon,  Herbal Remedy  and any incense https://seawitchbotanicals.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIp8ew09yPgQMVCw-tBh2g1Q5NEAAYASAAEgJIhPD_BwE

- I discovered Hirons Drug Store  - this was my question - I honestly need a new nice-sized unlined magnetic fridge notepad for my weekly grocery lists. I make big lists.

 

- Gift Certificates you'd like to places that are local to you? Torrid, food places, Regal or Cinemark theatres, Boudica beauty salon in Junction City, OR

 

 - ILNP nail polish - I only use this brand of polish - of their new ones, I'd love Dark Matter, Deep Space, Enchantment, and Lured or Hex from Halloween 2022

 

16) Alobudra - I dont really need anything from this, but the mists sounds nice and usable.

 

17) Japanese things: I have a particular fondness for maneki-neko dishes to feed my kitties on, and I also am in need of an Omamori for hanging in my vehicle for safe travels of all kinds.

 

18)  Brujita Skincare - If theres something that sounds like it would be a good fit for me, sure. 

 

19) Bird & Blend Tea:   Chocolate Digestives sounds DELICIOUS. Bonfire Toffee sounds Fabulous too. Violet Cream, Love Potion, and Devon Cream all sounds SOOOO DAMN GOOD. 

 

20) BloomChic - this was my question - I love a lot of stuff on there, and if my Witch is interested to know more, just HMU

 

21) Poesie Tea - this was my question  - S'More Tea, Pink Moon, Tudor Rose and I've never tried Olympus but would love to since it has my favorite, Mate', in it.

 

22) 

Would you like anything from Trader Joe's? (Pumpkin products are, sadly, not in stores yet, but they will be during this round!) Only if it's sugar free. Or savory. 

 

Do you have any Halloween traditions? Carving pumpkins. Harvest fests. Lots of things I LIKE to do I havent been able to. When I have my own home, I always decorate spookily outside for the kids. 

 

What about Halloween-related fandoms? (ie. The Nightmare Before Christmas) No not really. 

 

23)  

1.  I make things from thrifted sweaters that I cut up & make things from.  Do you like armwarmers?  Long or short? Solid color ( elegant) or funky stripes made from multiple sweaters? Fave colors?  Is cashmere okay?  Wool & related blends? ( I never use scratchy wool for arm warmers.) Do you like buttons used decoratively? Would love some Fav colors are darker and natural greens, darker and oceanic blues, metallic, greys, black, dark blood red and similar, peacock colors - merino wool and similar are great - just no itchy wool.  Im up for any creative flair you wish to add :)

 

2.  I also do coiled & sewn rope work- it's functional art I wrap the rope in fabric & add appliques.  I just had my first art show with these- bowls, trivets ( that can hang on the wall when not in use), coasters.

Is this something you'd  like ?  What sort of Halloween fabric?  Whimsical? Witchy, bats, mushrooms, moths?  How gothy do you like? I have velvets & sparkly stuff to work with too.  What is your preference witchee?  I could certainly use some hardy trivets or coasters! Nothing bright orange please. LOVE darker colors, nature, velvets, metallics, etc

 

24) 

How do you feel about cherry things? Check out Cherry Republic and let me know if anything catches your eye! I LOVE Cherries so damn much, but theyre so damn high in sugar.  If anything, the meats or salsas.

Similarly, are you into fancy flavors of olive oil or vinegar? Check out Fustini's and let me know if anything appeals! Oh gosh almost any of these!

We also have an awesome store for jams and sauce, American Spoon which you should totally check out! The sour cherry spoon fruit is the only thing I could eat from there, and it still has a lot of sugar.

Would you like some locally sourced maple syrup? I wish, but no.

Finally, I live in a place known for fudge. Do you like it and/or are their flavors you particularly like? My favorite shop is Murdick's if you need to see a flavor list. I'm a gourmet fudge maker, and I cannot eat it, but I make it for others and sell it too. So, sorry, but no.

 

25) Anything from the IKEA Halloween store catch your witchy eye? https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/campaigns/halloween/ Not so much

 

26) 

https://wildsoulriver.com I own the Magical Nature Tarot and love the feel of the cards.   Not so much, no

 I live near a Penzey's Spice https://www.penzeys.com do you cook?  Do you want fancy schmancy spices or spice blends?  Do you have a favorite alternative source that you prefer and or recommend?  If you cook is there a type of cuisine you are interested in learning more about and would appreciate a starter pack of spices for that type of cooking?  I love the Savory Spice Shoppe and have many favorites from them, I miss them since I had to move away from CO. I'm not too much into Penzeys because of the other shop I used all the time. I would get various blends from the Savory Spice Shoppe - so many good ones. 

 

27) ColourPop - Lip Stain or Lip Tint in one of the less dark berry colors. Chrome Liquid Shadow in Beetle and any of the others. bff Liquid Liner in crzy. Glitter Gel in any color.

 

28) 

Anything of interest from Cellar Door? (They have candles and soaps.) Yes, I love their stuff candles and soap. Basic Witch, Haunted Woods, Holland Hard Cider, Zombie repellent

 

Are you into wax melts, candles, incense, room sprays, or none of the above? candles - Im very picky on incense - I only get Fred Soll or SeaWitch

 

Would you like anything from Luvmilk's Monster Mash? Werewolf #1 Ghost #2 - bubble bath

 

29)  

  • What are your chocolate preferences? White, milk, dark? What inclusions (fruit, nuts, none, etc.)? Gimme as many details as possible. Sugar free Milk Chocolate is my favorite, white chocolate 2nd, and I love all kinds of stuff in them. But the extras have to be gluten free.
  • I make mixed media art (like collaging kinda). Is a mixed media art piece (small like an altoids tin or small canvas) something you'd be interested in? A tin would be lovely.
  • What music platform do you use (Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, etc.)? Do you like receiving music recommendations? Spotify, I put this in the Warehouse Qs - Im very much stuck on Wardruna, Prima Nocta, and similar. 

 

30) New Question: because I’m a knitting kind of witch, would you appreciate a pair of hand knit socks. If yes, would you like them in a particular colour? I would adore this. with socks, surprise me, Im not picky on colors, just not into pastels or neons.

 

31)ASTRID updates -  I dont think so, Im honestly not wearing much perfume right now so getting a whole bottle of something new which may not even work for me, is probably a bad idea.

 

32)  Fae Fragrance - I'm curious about some of the scents in the perfume list - I just wish the heavy hand cream had less foody scents - so if my witch is getting anything from this company, the heavy hand cream in Sea Witch or Lilith, and perfume samples in Alrighty Aphrodite, Seaweed Brain, Pits Tits & Naughty Bits, Feel Good Hit of the Summer, or Diabolique

 

33) 

Anything you want from my favorite local tea shop? www.fridaytea.com - yes, I like their themes - right off hand I'd love to try these, For Salvation, For the Shield, Underworld, For Fidelity, 

 

How about from my skincare person? drjensbeautylab.com/ I dont see anything that jumps out but if something seems appropriate, sure.

 

How about from my witchy Chandler? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TeresaLynnsSimpleLux SURE! The Ghoul candle

 

It's also that time of year where I make handmade soap (usually with calendula infused olive oil, tallow, oatmeal and honey) and candles (feel free to specify color and size, I don't usually scent them, but I do have a clover and apple scent I've been wanting to play with). I can also annoint and dress candles with TALs and herbs. Any interest? ----Sure!

 

I also grow herbs which can be culinary or magical. I'd be happy to prepare a smudge or dry some herbs for your enjoyment. I currently have oregano (yellow and standard), mugwort, thyme, sage (purple or garden), tea peppermint, chives, lovage, plantain, comfrey, raspberry leaf, and yarrow. I'm probably forgetting something. ------raspberry leaf :)

 

I also make salves! My go to in an arnica, calendula and comfrey mix for healing wounds or chapped skin. This can also be used on pet paws. We do have barely enough time that I could do a custom infusion. ----sounds very nice 

 

34) Anything in the Paintbox Soapworks Halloween update looking good to you? https://paintboxsoapworks.com/new-limited-edition/2023-weenie-collection/ - 

I've never tried the bath streusel - I'd like it in Demeter or Putney Road, Let Me in Your Window oil, and Let Me In Your Window hot process soap, Nightwalker oil.

 

35) If you have a furry friend living with you, what sort of treats do they like?  I have felines and their favorite treats are the Greenies Healthy Indoor/ Skin & Coat (filled) treats in Tuna or Salmon - they also love the large catnip filled rainbows or similar shapes made by Yeowww! brand I think. 

 

36)  Seasonal mugs - no thank you I dont even have my own place to live currently.

Wishlists are not up to date, honestly, but I do not have time to do much, especially with the BPAL w/l - Im so far behind in BPAL offerings, and my BPAL is in two big boxes right now too. 😥 honestly so sick of living like this.

 

37) 

- Do you have anything you use every day that you wouldnt mind getting more of? Sure, collagen powder, Monkfruit sweetener, OWYN 32gr protein meal replacement drinks, Belif Moisture Bomb face cream, goat or sheep milk cheeses/A2 milk items since I can digest these, Jane's Krazy mixed up seasoning

 - Anything you love or need to have from Adagio or Rishi teas? Adagio has lots of wonderful roasted Mate' blends  - I listed one in my Qs - Mate' has a kind of caffeine that doesn't make me feel like death. Rishi is one of my favorites for pure, clean tea - Iron Goddess of Mercy oolong and Turmeric Chai (the font wont format correctly - pardon this BS)

- List here things you wish you would've added to your questionnaire - did I say no Rooibos or Honey bush? Cant stand them. 

 

38) Nocturne Alchemy just dropped their Halloween update! You like the looks of anything? https://nocturnealchemy.com/collections/limited-collection  I dont have a lot of experience with NA - have sampled very few - if you think it's something I would love, yes please. But if not, please don't spend the money.

 

39) BPAL WEENIE UPDATE:  I havent been in a position to even drool over Weenies in a few years, so it was fun to make this list!  I may be unable to stop myself from ordering decants, BUT, these are ones I DIDNT order, AND - so, witch, if you feel so inclined, the hair gloss is a sure thing for me.

The Witches Have a Fire Again
A Little Silver Scimitar
Maple Leaves, Golden Moss, and Amber Hair Gloss
Samhain Hair Gloss
Witch Milk 
Wolf Milk

 

40) 

How do you feel about Squishmallows and Squishables? Absolutely NO

 

We've had some questions about specific enamel pins, but how do you feel about enamel pins in general? And would you wear ones meant to be put on lapels?  Honestly, I'm very picky about the pins I collect at this point. There are particular artists I prefer. See next question....

 

Speaking of enamel pins... The Pickety Witch's Autumn and Halloween collection just dropped. Has anything caught your eye? Oh, LOTS, this is one of my favorite pin artists - I'll use abbreviations - Jiji's, Baba, Witch or Pumpkin Kitten, Mabon Raven

 

41) Tarot or oracle decks - no thank you - have too many I dont use enough, plus packed away still

 

Studio Ghibli - no thanks

 

LUSH Halloween update - YES Please, I need good bath tub supplies for my frequent required epsom salt baths - they get very boring and I have no bubbles - Pumpkin Crumble bubble bar, Screaming Banshee bath bomb, Bubble Lugosi bath bomb, Toil & Trouble body scrub, Lord of Misrule anything

42)  Part 2 of the Autumnal/Halloween drop from Haus of Gloi is coming this weekend- take a look and see if anything is compelling! https://www.hausofgloi.com - The pumpkin butters sound wonderful - wish the whipped soap was available. As I said earlier, I dont have much experience with Haus of Gloi. My scent preferences are in the previous Haus of gloi question above.

Also, I live in Philly and will use ANY reason to spend time at the Mütter Museum- anything of interest (including, but not limited to, the well-loved BPAL exclusive for the museum, Ü?) https://www.muttermuseumstore.org  Only Umlaut, not necessary though.

 

43) 

*Are you a fan of the show Cobra Kai? NO

*Do you enjoy any of the scented items from Victoria's Secret? No thank you

*Would you be interested in receiving a silver locket with papyrus and herbs inside, as a protective amulet?  No thank you

 

44) Lenny Mud - no thank you

Tea preferences: Black, green, white, rooibos, oolong, herbal?  My number one choice is Mate. The caffeine is different and easier on my body. Black tea and oolong come after. I am not interested in green or white and I honestly cant stand rooibos or honeybush. Herbals are good as long as they are actual herbals and not filled with fruit and other junk. My herbals I use specifically for anxiety and relaxtion modes.

 

TORRID - yes please. Any of these would wonderful - FYI I REALLY need good knit nightgowns.

 - Crinkle Chiffon Raglan Tie Front Blouse in Green Floral and 2x

 - Mini Lurex Chiffon Tiered Dress in Floral Black and 2X

 - Super Soft Lace Trim Sleep Babydoll Gown in Black and 2x

 

Coloring Books - No thank you, I have several I just dont use.

 

Nail Wraps - No thank you, as said previously, I am strictly ILNP at this point.
