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?? 

No, thank you -- my mother is an avid knitter and I have more knitted things than I can use.

 

Would you like any of Cat Coven's Halloween goods? It's her original artwork based on medieval art. (It's a limited edition of everything, so hopefully things aren't sold out yet.)

The fairy folk pillowcase if Cat Coven makes more.

 

 Look at The Green Salmon's webpage The Green Salmon - do you fancy any of the teas, coffees etc? It's a favorite place for me to stop on the coast, and I'll take any excuse to drive to the ocean.

The Papua New Guinea A/X Organic Morobe sounds wonderful. 

 

 

What are your favorite halloween/samhain treats to eat? Please be specific. I have access to various candy stores, including healthy candy lol.

 

Candy: Black licorice! I like Amarelli licorice, especially Spezzatini, Senatori alla Violetta, and Rombetti. A really good piece of dark chocolate. Small quantities, please! 

 

4) Would you like any of these Snag Halloween tights? And if so, which of their sizes?

https://snagtights.com/pages/halloween

Toadstool, Spideysense, size C.

 

Also is there anything you would particularly like from the UK?

Last time I was in England, I bought some stretchy bamboo socks at, I think, a Boots near Heathrow. I haven't been able to find anything like them in the USA. 

 

What Halloween things off RedBubble do you like? Share link if possible.

Is there anything you might want from Japan? Snacks (autumn flavors are out~), nerdy stuff, cute stuff anything!

I'd love some Japanese persimmons if you can send them to the US! A few autumn-flavored snacks would be nice, too - maybe something in chestnut flavor? Or a cute fashion accessory. I don't know a lot about Japan -- I'm open to surprises!

 

Moonalisa?

Spectral Moon looks nice.

 

Australia? Tim Tams?

Again, I don't know if you can send fruit to the USA, but if you can I'd love some finger limes, lemon aspen, or similar. 

 

-Do you enjoy fanfic? I would be happy to write something for you, and/or read/comment upon/gush over thing(s) you've written, if that's something you'd enjoy...

It's not a genre I'm all that familiar with.

 

-Would you appreciate rare TAL decant(s) in 1 mL amber roll-on bottle(s)?

Definitely! There should be some on my wish list already, and I'll see if it needs updating. 

 

Enamel pens?

I'm unfamiliar.

 

- I make lightweight hairfalls, the kind that can be attached to a pony  tail or to pig tails. They are good for those of us that are more tender-headed. I use a variety of materials like shibori ribbon, and puffy yarns and pieces of lace and silk. You can use them for every day or as part of your Weenie costume. Is this of interest to you? If so tell me what length, what color(s) and if you want one for a pony tail or two for pig tails.

I'd be game for one. Waist length, silver/white, for one pony tail.

-During my recent travels I got to experience the incredible delight of Serge Luten perfumers here in Paris (imagine if the Lab and Anna Sui made babies inside a Cadbury Cream Egg decorated with stained glass windows and...you've come close to the experience of being in that shop). Anyway, after spending gobs of monies, they loaded me up with delectable samples of their insanely expensive wares- do you want some???

Yes please!!!

-Haus Of Gloi just had their Halloween update! Anything appeal to you? https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1 

The Little Hedgehog hair oil sounds good.

 

While thinking of stuff I might want from UK I was reminded of Future Primitive Soaps which has released it's fall stuff.  Would you like anything from there dearest witchee? https://futureprimitivesoap.co.uk

The High Priestess Anointing Oil

 

I harvested some elderberries yesterday and I have a lot more out there, so I made a batch of elderberry syrup. Would you appreciate a 4oz bottle of it?

(Based on the recipe at https://www.thespruceeats.com/elderberry-syrup-4845433 but I did not have any cloves, and I added a half cup of sugar to reduce tartness and increase syrupyness - it's still fairly thin.)

I would definitely appreciate that!

 

- Do you want anything from Sea Witch Botanicals (I can buy it locally from shops)?

A Rider-Waite tarot deck.

 

 I discovered Hirons Drug Store - which is basically an Unbelievable place to browse for every kind of eclectic, fun, spooky, weird, and even useful thing you could want - so tell me some Odds And Ends of things you like or want, I know this is open ended, sorry - - gadgetry, stickers, toys, pens, costumery, snacks, decoration, kitchen stuff, etc

Kitchen stuff! Gadgets for a small kitchen. I'll try to list some specific ones later. Pens and college-rule notebooks.

 

 Gift Certificates you'd like to places that are local to you?

Just Coffee here in Madison. May list others later.

 

- How do you feel about ILNP nail polish and what are your favs from the new Cosmos collection and any others on their site??

t others

I rarely wear nail polish, but a small bottle of a fun color would not go amiss! From the Cosmos collection I like Deep Space. Other favorites on the site are Hi-Score, Retro Teal, Bottoms Up, Amber, and Sunny Days.

 

I live in Japan, so are there any more “traditional” Japanese souvenirs you’d like to have (think chopsticks, tenugui, washi paper, etc.)?

Tenugui would be lovely.

 

Brujitas

The cucumber watermelon hydrosol sounds nice.

 

Tiny Bones

Not for me, thanks.

 

Witchie! BloomChic - just discovered them - Take a look at the Halloween stuff (Plus Sizes too), and tell me the link and the size of whatever thing you like!

Im placing an order soon!.....

https://bloomchic.com/collections/halloween/products/halloween-ghost-print-pajama-set size 12

 

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?

I like armwarmers, and my preferences are long, solid color, cashmere, no buttons. Favorite colors to wear: peach, mustard, rust, golden brown, violet, teal.

 

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?

That sounds beautiful, and I am in need of trivets/coasters. Whimsical Halloween-adjacent fabric would be nice. I like the idea of mushrooms. I'm not super-gothy, but I do like velvet a lot.

 

Would you like anything from Trader Joe's? (Pumpkin products are, sadly, not in stores yet, but they will be during this round!)   

Sure! I don't know what's on offer yet, so I'll update this question later.

 

Do you have any Halloween traditions?

Lately it's been staying home and cooking all the autumn goodies. 

 

What about Halloween-related fandoms? (ie. The Nightmare Before Christmas)

Nope.

 

How do you feel about cherry things? Check out Cherry Republic and let me know if anything catches your eye!

I love cherry things! Montmorency Nouveau Preserves looks amazing. 

 

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

I am into both! I like robust olive oils, sherry vinegar, dark balsamic vinegar, and truffle flavors.

 

We also have an awesome store for jams and sauce, American Spoon which you should totally check out!

Sour cherry spoon fruit, quince conserve, wild thimbleberry jam!

 

Would you like some locally sourced maple syrup?

That would be lovely.

 

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.

Not for me.

 

Anything from the IKEA Halloween store catch your witchy eye? https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/campaigns/halloween/

I don't really decorate for Halloween.

 

https://wildsoulriver.com I own the Magical Nature Tarot and love the feel of the cards.  They have candles and teas and tinctures and books of the activist or witchy sort.  Anything you see that you'd like?

Journal of Radical Permission, breath steam, essential oils to destroy the patriarchy, mushroom coffee.

 

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?  For example egads I am asking lots of Qs Curio Spice Co, Diaspora etc do ethically sourced spices.

-  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 cook a LOT! Fancy schmancy spice-wise, I'm always in search of good saffron.  I don't have an alternative source, but Curio Spice has lots of things I'm interested such as yuzu peel, mastic, rose buds, curry leaf, makrut lime leaf, and korerima.

I'm interested in learning more about Persian cuisine. I already have Persian limes and mahleb, and would welcome the rest of the starter pack.

 

Colourpop's Haunted Mansion collection dropped today.  

If you're interested in makeup or skin care, are you interested in anything from Colourpop?  

https://colourpop.com/

I am a sucker for unusual mascara colors like the bff ones on their site.

 

Anything of interest from Cellar Door? (They have candles and soaps.)

The Michigan Moonglow soap looks cool!

 

Are you into wax melts, candles, incense, room sprays, or none of the above?

I will do the occasional room spray. 

 

Would you like anything from Luvmilk's Monster Mash?

I'd try the dusting powder.

 

I dye yarn.  Are you a person who crafts with such?  What fiber, weights, and colors would tickle your fancy?  Would you rather have two different 100g skeins or enough of the same something for a bigger project?

I don't craft with yarn.

 

Provided my experiments work, would you be interested in a bar of homemade tallow soap?  I promise I will not send you anything particularly suspect, so this is entirely contingent upon my competence.

No, thanks.

 

Do homemade caramels or shortbread tickle your fancy?

Either/both! in small quantities, though :-)

 

What are your chocolate preferences? White, milk, dark? What inclusions (fruit, nuts, none, etc.)?

Dark! I like it plain and with fruit and/or nuts. I especially like trying new and unusual inclusions.

 

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?

That sounds like fun! Bonus points if the art doubles as a functional piece (altoids tin that I can use for storage, etc.)

 

What music platform do you use (Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, etc.)? Do you like receiving music recommendations? 

Bandcamp, CDs, mp3s, cassettes, terrestrial radio -- quirks due to my generation and being a musician myself. I'm happy to receive music recommendations.

 

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? 

Yes, I would. I live in alpaca fiber socks for six months out of the year here! A turquoise color would be especially fun, but really any color is welcome!

 

What type of spooky season imagery do you like? (Ie. bats, ghosts, vintage Halloween, etc.)

Vintage Halloween, spiderwebs, skulls, dark colors, draped fabrics, veils.

 

Astrid's Autumn Line and Anniversary Tea Party just dropped.  Anything you want?  

Nothing's catching my eye at the moment.

 

Homemade and preserved food goodies - Which of these things would you like my dear witchie? All are organic and grown or made by me.

• sun-dried heirloom tomatoes
• dried ancho chile peppers - can be whole halves or ground into a delicious powder
• sugar-free candied pecans and walnuts or almonds
• gourmet quality fudge in many flavors (formerly from my ETSY shop which I had to close until I have my own home again) please give me an idea the kinds of flavors you like. My more popular ones are Penuche, Choc & PB, Pumpkin pie, Forest fruit (with cherries, blueberries and cranberries), Vegan chocolate
• dried italian plums (pitted)
• sugar-free canned plum or logan berry jam
• freshly dried rosemary, thyme, basil, parsley individually or in combo
• almond flour baked goods (low carb, sugar free, and gluten free) - give me examples of savory and sweet things you'd like

I'd love some dried ancho chile peppers ground into a delicious powder. The plum or loganberry jam also sound good, depending on what they're sweetened with -- I'm good with unsweetened, or sweetened with honey.

 

Might you like a witch hat?  Later this month I'm  taking a class at an area museum where I'm  supposed to decorate 2 hats.  Also I crochet wicked cute witchy hats.

A crocheted wicked cute one appeals to me.

 

Do you see anything here that interests you?  They have dry shampoos, whipped soaps, awesome hand cream, linen spray, sugar scrubs and perfume. https://www.etsy.com/shop/faefragrance/?etsrc=sdt

I could definitely go for the heavy hand cream. The Porcelain Dolly scent looks good.

 

Anything you want from my favorite local tea shop? www.fridaytea.com

I'm more of a coffee person.

How about from my skincare person? drjensbeautylab.com/

This person sounds amazing! I could definitely use her zit zapper and anti-aging eye cream and sunscreen (the fragrance sounds lovely) and basically anything for my skin type!

 

How about from my witchy Chandler? https://www.etsy.com/shop/TeresaLynnsSimpleLux

A sniffie in Breathe scent.

 

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?

Interested in an anointed/dressed candle.

 

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.

I'd love some dried 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.

The go-to one sounds great.

 

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

Nothing in particular.

Masquerade Tefnut intrigues me! Also Haunted Tree, Haunted Castle, Conjuring with the Enchantress from the returning LEs.

 

Is there anything you would like from the Weenie update?

Grave Moss & Bone Splinters, Bringer of Evil, Make a Face

Any of the non-foodie hair glosses.

 

How do you feel about stickers?  If positively, are there any themes you'd rather not have stickers of?

Selectively positive. I've collected them for awhile so they need to be pretty unusual! No other restrictions.

 

What about crystals, cool rocks, and gemstones?

Sure, something pretty and unusual would be nice.

 

How do you feel about Squishmallows and Squishables? (They have mini and micro sizes for those who like cute plushies but don't have a lot of space.)

I'd be open to a mini one as a cat toy / buddy.

 

Would you wear enamel pins with chains that are meant to be put on lapels? (Something like this.)

I would not.

 

Speaking of enamel pins... The Pickety Witch's Autumn and Halloween collection just dropped. Has anything caught your eye?

Nope.

 

I used to make mobiles out of paper cranes, would you appreciate something like this? if so, what size restrictions do you have, if any? ie., should it take up less space vertically or horizontally? color palette preference? 

So pretty! But I'm afraid it would get destroyed in my household.

 

ordering bulbs from https://oldhousegardens.com and was wondering if my witchee would like some.   

I'd be interested in cat-safe plants I could grow indoors, or outdoor beginner plants for Zone 4b.

 

Would you like something like "sock arms" if I find time to craft?  (Sometimes I make a pattern called Toast or Toasty {one has a thumb the other is just a tube} http://www.afriendtoknitwith.com/2008/09/toasttoasty.html.   here are other photos from my blog:  https://www.elkaknits.com/?p=845 )

 -- If so what sort of colors?  

Yes, in warm neutrals, olive or teal.

 

Witchee, what's your take on seasonal-themed Washi tape?

I don't find myself using it.

What about seasonal treats from Trader Joe's?

Yes, I like sampling bits of all the different stuff!

I make gluten-free biscotti this time of year, lemon and also cocoa varieties: does this sound good to you?

Lemon sounds awesome!

Would you like me to make a music mix for you? I kick it old school with a burned CD. If you're into this, name at least 3 to 5 genres of music you already love, or are interested to explore more of!

Sure! I still have a CD player in my car, and like jazz, funk, singer-songwriter, Americana, Afrobeat.

 

Anything you'd like from my Ren Fest?  There is an outstanding garlic based shop I'll  be going to next weekend, for my annual stock up of their spice blends & garlic oil blends.  Any other Renny stuff that you like?

From the garlic shop, that garlic and olive tapenade sounds amazing!!! 

 

if you are a person who appreciates tarot and oracle decks, do you have a strong preference about receiving new ones vs gently/barely used?

No strong preference.

 

So I have another question. 
Are you a Studio Ghibli fan, and if so, what are your feelings about fan made art featuring characters?

 

I also think I asked another question about people’s feelings on hand knitted socks too. 

I like Studio Ghibli, and am particularly a fan of the soundtracks. Fan art sounds intriguing.

Totally down for hand-knitted socks!

 

Want anything from LUSH? Here's the link specifically to their Halloween drop (https://www.lush.com/us/en_us/c/halloween) BUT, feel free to peruse all of it. (And Witch, even though this is my question, yes, I WILL be answering it in my bloggy-thing just the same (autocorrect changed "bloggy" to "bloody", which I find just about perfect, all things considered  )

I find the site overwhelming to navigate, but I'd be happy to be surprised with some LUSH you think I'd like.

 

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 Spider Silk scent sounds right up my alley. 

 

 If you are so inclined, do you want or need any natural items or ingredients for spellwork that could be collected from forests, ocean, fields or stream?  I also have access to oak gall ink and various other esoteric substances.

Anything that calls to you for me, especially from the ocean.

 

Are you a fan of the show Cobra Kai?

Nope, never heard of it!

 

Do you enjoy any of the scented items from Victoria's Secret?

I liked Dream Angels Heavenly once upon a time. 

 

Would you be interested in receiving a silver locket with papyrus and herbs inside, as a protective amulet?

Yes.

 

So Witchee mine, are you a spellworker? - any interest  in acorns from a tree known as The Mother Oak at my Ren Fest grounds.  It is the biggest tree I've ever seen in MI.  It is cared for by tree scientists  from MSU.  It is the mom to every other oak on the grounds.   Saturday is Mabon & I will go & gather acorns before the park opens to patrons as I do each year.  But this time it's  actual Mabon.  So Witchee dearest, would you like some?  

Yes please!

 

Witchee, do you like anything from Lenny Mud?   

The porcupine pen holder looks nice.

 

From previous questions you've answered, I know a lot about the teas you'd like from specific places, but I want to know your more general tea preferences.   Black, green, white, rooibos, oolong, herbal?

No caffeinated tea, as I'm a devoted coffee drinker, but I'd be happy to take some rooibos, and herbal tea in bags. (I especially like Algonquin Tea Co's Lucid Dream tea.)

 

Torrid?

I don't see anything there for me.

   

How do you feel about nail wraps, like from Espionage Cosmetics?  They are having a tempting fall sale.  Anything catch your eye?  https://espionagecosmetics.com/collections/itsfallyall23

So much cuteness, but these working hands need unadorned nails.

 

Is anyone into colouring in?

Every now and then, yes.
