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

Similarly, are you into fancy flavors of olive oil or vinegar? Check out Fustini's and let me know if anything appeals! I love their Cinnamon  Pear- drizzled on baked pears.  Would love to try the Cranberry pear (I didn't know rose balsamic existed).

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

Would you like some locally sourced maple syrup? I just opened a bottle if grade B amber that will last  at least  6-8 months.

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 love fudge, but I'm  diabetic so it does not represent "good choices".  This said, dark chocolate with walnuts, or maple walnut.

Anything from the IKEA Halloween store catch your witchy eye? https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/campaigns/halloween/ the led wreath or little  black tree.  I love bare trees & branches. Also purple fairy lights.

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?  Conk out tea sounds wonderful as I have a hard time falling asleep.  The murder of crows tarot looks interesting, but I probably don't  need another deck.

I live near a Penzey's Spice https://www.penzeys.com 

- do you cook?  Yes

- Do you want fancy schmancy spices or spice blends?  Always

- Do you have a favorite alternative source that you prefer and or recommend?  I have a penzeys nearby, so I'm  very familiar.  For example egads I am asking lots of Qs Curio Spice Co, Diaspora etc do ethically sourced spices.  If you have a line on spices & recipes for vegetarian Indian cooking ( beyond penzeys curry powder) that would be fun.  I've also become fascinated by flavored salts.  I have a red wine salt that is interesting.  Is there a flavored salt you like to use?

-  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'm interested in learning vegetarian  Indian cooking

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'm  not really into fancy makeup

Anything of interest from Cellar Door? (They have candles and soaps.) I love their Lavender Pumpkin soap, but have never tried the candle.  Their apple scents are nice too.

Are you into wax melts, candles, incense, room sprays, or none of the above?  Candles yes, wax melts no. Incense rarely, room sprays like bpal linen sprays ( omg TKO linen spray)

Would you like anything from Luvmilk's Monster Mash?  Did not see anything that grabbed me.

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?  Yes I am a yarn hoar.  Knitting & crochet both.  Hmm, what about 2 related skeins that play together?  Perhaps fae foresty autumn vibes where one is mostly greens with bits of leaf colors and the other has only a little green? As to fiber- wools,  superwash wool blends, a touch of something else?  Choose a yarn that you love how it takes the dye.

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.  Sorry, Veggie girl has a squick reaction to tallow soap.

Do homemade caramels or shortbread tickle your fancy?  I do love shortbread.

9/8

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? Purples, greens. Shie size is 9.5.

What type of spooky season imagery do you like? (Ie. bats, ghosts, vintage Halloween, etc.) Ravens, Owls, bats, cats, Witches.  Vintage is cool.  Bare Trees in silhouette with a full moon.  Not into cutsey motifs.
