would you like a scarf?  If so, colors, length, iwide or skinny?  Bulky yarn or thin and slinky??   My question, and I love knits from other people!  I'd love a thick, soft, chunky scarf or a thin slinky shawl.  I wear a lot of black, grey and autumn leaf colors 
 

How about some dishcloths, for the kitchen?  Or spa cloths for the bathroom?  If so, which?  Any particular colors??   Either is good, sea colors for the bathroom, black and white and greys for the kitchen 

 

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 arent sold out yet.)    Hey, she's like local to me!  Like, 15 minutes or so from my house!  Having said that, nothing grabs me today.  This may change, but not right now. 

 

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.

Um, yum!  Aztec Spice, Bathory Blend, Persephones Pomegranite.  Please confirm there are NO MUSHROOMS in the blends! 

 

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

I love lollipops, esp low sugar ones.  Mini candy bars are my jam, I can freeze them and have access to small treats.  Snickers and Peppermint Patties are my top longings right now! 

 

Would you like any of these Snag Halloween tights? And if so, which of their sizes?  Would you believe I haven't yet worn the ones I bought last year?  I wear a size D.  In their Second Chance, they have Glitter in the Grey; I would love Stay Cool Chub Rub shorts in Builders Tea; Opaque Skull Tights in grey; ACOTAR opaque tights in Frost and Starlight;

Also is there anything you would particularly like from the UK?   We are planning a trip there in the next couple of years.  I'd love some non-touristy places to visit!  I also adore Liberty of London fabric, and Thorton's Alpine bars!

Is there anything you might want from Japan? Snacks (autumn flavors are out~), nerdy stuff, cute stuff anything!  Yes!  I love carrying cool fans around, so that would be neat to have, as well as cell phone charms, a blinged out Iring for my phone, fun kawaii stickers, small cool snacks, and coins!  My daughter and I collect coins from around the world!  I also really adore the Starbucks stuff from over there!!

I was wondering whether Tim Tams in any incarnation would tempt my witchee?   Oh yes!  Just one bag though, maybe milk chocolate/caramel? 

 

On the less sweet side, are there any other Australian things you might be tempted by?  I once got a bag of salt from (I think) the Murray River?  It was pink salt from one of the rivers and it was amazing.  I also enjoy non spicy or very mild spicy seasonings from other countries so that would be awesome! And stickers!

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.

My hair isn't grown out enough yet.  Maybe next year.......

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???

Any vanilla heavy scents, but just testers.

I have one now!  They just came out with Double Vanilla.  I don't really like pumpkin stuff.....sorry!  If you can find the chocolate covered nutty bites?  I can't, maybe they are discontinued?  A gift card to here is always most welcome!! And the salmon and sweet potato dog treats from here are one of the very few that Bailey will actually eat......

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?

 

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 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.
