Would you like any of the following?   (Maybe just remove the things you aren't interested in?): Anything that doesn't have peaches in it! I probably wouldn't use the mugwort smudge stick but I'm not opposed. 

• Catnip (organic, from our property.  Dried in our dehydrator.)
• Canned food items
  • Thick Huckleberry Syrup (or thin huckleberry jam -- it was kind of a fail for how thick/thin it is, but still tasty.  Has sugar.)
  • Bluebarb jam (blueberry/rhubarb)  (has sugar.)
  • Blackberry, Raspberry, or Strawberry Jam  (they have sugar)
  • Possibly plum jam or butter (we can probably make it without ingredients you can't have -  if allergies)
• Apple Crips (dried apples with nothing added, not sure what kind of apples we'll do this year.  Usually honeycrisp.)
• Dried lavender I can do sachets or just some in a mesh baggie.  Sadly our lavender is too dry right now to do wands.
• Rose petal beads (if I manage to make enough, I'm gathering rose petals right now.)  I'll probably put them on a string unless I have time/energy for more.
• Rose Petal liqueur sample (has sugar.)
• Lavender Vanilla Bean liqueur sample (has sugar.)
• Mead sample (flavor depends on what kind of mead my son has made lately.  Can make it dry, semi-sweet, or sweet to your preference.)

 

Would you like me to knit you a hat, shawlette, cowl, or fingerless mitts?  No thanks! I have so much and am moving to somewhere much colder so in the process of evaluating my winter clothing stock. 🙂

 

How about a soap bag (knitted), washcloths, or tarot card bag? Soap bags, absolutely 

 

Or maybe a gknitted Gnome?  Or bat?  Ghost?  Black Cat?  Voodoo doll?  Monster?  Or something else spooky?  I have lots of patterns.  Here is an example I did for the Gnome swap. Any of those things obviously! 

 

If you want any knitted things -- color preferences?   Not particularly, although I'm not a huge fan of neons or pastels. 

 

My mom has an etsy shop with project bags for knitting/crochet or what ever you want to use them for.  We could also make tote type bags, flat zipper cosmetic type bags, or boxy bags/dice bags.  Are you interested in this type of item?  I have all kinds of spooky fabric that isn't currently up on the shop if you look through the sold items.  https://twinklentwilight.etsy.com I think I'm all set for bags right now!

LUSH's Halloween collection drops 8/31.  I will be making an order.  Can I pick up something for you? I like their body and lip scrubs. 

 

Which Surprise Items that will be at Dragoncon might you be interested in? Too late!

 

Would you be interested in dangle earrings or pendants made of dried roses (and other beads)? Oooh yes I'm intrigued. 

 

How do you feel about stuffies that are sewn? Form or fabric preference? Love them. I love all the stuffies.

 

Teeturtle, anything look fun? No t-shirts please, but I am always fond of a ridiculous plush animal. 

 

Haus of Gloi's first fall collection has dropped - anything you like? Anything in Persephone's Descent!

 

8/29/23

 

What about Paintbox Soapworks Fall scents? Nothing's jumping out at me this year. 

 

How do you feel about CBD as an ingredient in something? Like a pain relief lotion or lip balm? I'm not opposed but I also find it doesn't do anything for me.

 

 

I'm getting into bookbinding! Is there a fanfic/book (I can try to get the text block in paperback and rebind it)/out-of-copyright book that you want hardbound all fancy? I'm fascinated by this idea. I feel like Macbeth would be a good seasonal choice! 

 

 

8/30/23

 

Cellar Door's seasonal items are out.  Anything you need? Nothing's jumping but I do love candles. 

 

Are you interested in anything from Grounds and Hounds?   They give back to rescue dogs and they have more items than just coffee.   Hot chocolate, apparel, stickers, mugs, dog toys and blankets, caramels, brewers, etc.  Listen I love anything that supports rescue dogs.

 

Anything from here?  The Halloween Collection is adorable.  Clothes That Fit - Snag US (snagtights.us) I love them all. I'm an F!

 

 

9/1/23

 

Moonalisa drops Halloween tonight. Huge list of scents.  What appeals to you?   (www.mooscents.com) I'm interested in Harvest Cake, Hocus Pocus, Seer, 

 

Anything from here?   Halloween 2023 – Witch Baby Soap Nothing's jumping out at me 

 

are there any particularly spooky reads you are interested in? Favorite horror author's with books you haven't read/don't own yet? Comic books included? I love spooky/gothic haunted house stories. My Goodreads account is up-to-date with everything I've read in the last several years. 

 

 I'm going to the MD ren faire this weekend - anything you like from faires? It's a large one with very strictly juried vending so  think higher quality goods ‐ teas, soaps, scents, arts, prints, etc. All the stuff honestly. 

 

Favorite medieval or renaissance or fantasy creatures or imagery or legends? Mermaids! Snail cats! Other weird illustrated manuscript stuff. 

 

Hey Swapee, you said you like gummy candy.  Have you ever had  the real deal Middle Eastern candy that " invented" gummy candy?  Made with real fruits & nuts & sooooo good.  I have a fabulous Middle Eastern grocery near where I work that has more than 20 flavors. 

Would you like a box?

If so, what kinds of fruits or berries do you like?

Yes! Citrus and all the berries.

Are you a fan of vivziepop/helluvaboss? Anything from their merch store? No thanks!

 

Also, stickers? I have found lots of smaller local stores (including natural food stores) have been selling good quality stickers. And Halloween sticker packs in various craft stores. Preferred styles or general images (cats/flowers/celestial, etc). I love animal stickers (especially weirder animals) and plants. 

 

Since it is Pumpkin Spice Season (during this swap), what is your Pumpkin Spice oppinion? Or just pumpkin? Or apple anything? Give me all the fall flavors. 

 

How do you feel about taxidermy/bones/pinned bugs? Love but ethically sourced obvs! 

 

 

9/7

 

Colourpop's Haunted Mansion collection dropped today.  

If you're interested in makeup or skin care, are you interested in anything from Colourpop?  I don't really wear much makeup but I'm intrigued by the lip colors Hitch a Ride and Summoned Spirits.
