OLLA: The Diamond's Gong Old Moon 2022

If you identify with Jo March from Little Women, and you spend your free time eating apples in a dusty attic while voraciously reading old leatherbound books, this scent is for you.

10/25/18 Is anyone interested in the New update? I'm so lost with all these updates! I would love to try anything as long as it doesn't contain my death notes: leather, licorice and violet. 10/21/18 Are you interested in anything from this store? https://www.tafilu.com/stores/witches I love Salem!! I really like the black Salem Broom Co shirt 10/19/18 would you like a crocheted doll related to one of your interests? Nah, that's okay. Would you want me to put a collection of rocks/gems together for you? And if so, is there anything you'd want me to focus on? (health, peace, protection, creativity, love, etc...) I would love that! Health and/or courage would be wonderful. 10/16/18 Are you a board game nerd like me? Is there a game you want right now? My husband is. I play boardgames with him a lot. We love Bloodrage. I've been wanting to paint the monsters all fancy but I have no equipment. 10/15/18 There are some really awesome spice shops in NYC. Would you like/need any herbs or spices? Sure, I'd love some fresh ground cloves. Or a whole nutmeg and grater. Anything from this curiosity shop the type of thing that interests you? Dreadful Curiosities: https://www.facebook.com/pg/dreadfulcuriosities/photos/ No thanks, that's a bit too much for me! 10/14/18 For those of us Switch Witches who ARE witches....if you have a Book of Spells would you like a page for it from your witch? Sure! that would be cool! What house were you sorted into? Ravenclaw!! 10/13/18 Practical Magic or Hocus Pocus? I've never seen Practical Magic! I do love Hocus Pocus though. Does anything from either of these shops interest you? The Stitchety Witch stitch creations and patterns I think the Nope Cat is pretty cool. Black Abbey Studios art w/ a gothic tendency No thanks Is there something (either a specific item, or type of item, like bath/body, perfume, candy etc) you're really looking forward to or hoping to get? Bath bombs and other bath products. This is the first time I've ever had a bath tub all to myself! And some new BPAL LE's to try that I have missed in the past two years (becoming a mom really turns your life upside down!) What's something you want or look at, but always talk yourself out of buying (or for whatever reason never purchase)? Kate Spade office supplies! (I really don't need them!) Are there any subscription/subscription style boxes you have an interest in? (This could be a very specific sub like sihaya or lootcrate or an idea/concept you're interested in without a specific company in mind, like "book related candles"). There are so many that I get overwhelmed. I really liked Scentbird, Birchbox and Sephora play but I always ended up canceling due to financial reasons. If there is a subscription box you think I'd like that I've never heard of, I'm open to anything! Coffee or Tea? Both! I'm not a big black or green tea drinker though. I mostly like relaxing nighttime herbal teas. Anything from David's Tea(esp the new Halloween) that catches your eye? I really love apple type teas. What are your DISO BPAL dreams? I'd love to try Edith Cushing. 10/12/18 Spooky stuff! D'ya like... ghosts? Skeletons? Aliens? Bigfoot? Unsolved mysteries? I've always loved real ghost stories. Or horror novels about ghosts (Currently reading and loving HEX) Is there anything from the Lush christmas line that was just released that you're interested in? It's honestly really hard to choose! Bath bombs! I really love anything blackcurrant scented from there. Butterbear would be great too! Is there any scents from the more current releases you have been wanting to try (Weenies, Motherhood/Fatherhood)? Yes! Euterpe's Ukelele (Lilith) and Ghost Music (Weenies) How do you feel about buttons, pins, and badges? No thanks. 10/11/18 Are you witchy or like witchy things like incense, sage, palo santo, crystals, tarot, altar supplies, candles, etc.? Whatcha like/need? I love Crystal Journey candles. Or any candles that are to be used for magickal intent. Do you need decanting supplies? Sample vials? Pipettes? Standard labels? sure I could use some pipettes and labels. don't need vials though! Can you link to your non forum wishlists/goodreads if you haven't already done so? Goodreads http://https://www.goodreads.com/rachelmacgreg Etsy https://www.etsy.com/people/darkbird/favorites If you're a yarn user, what kinds of yarn do you like best? synthetic yarns, mostly due to my allergies. I like Red Heart Simply Soft and fancy yarns (see my etsy wishlist) 10/10/18 Let's get specific about this knitting thing! Do any of these items/styles appeal? I've numbered these so you can just reference numbers if you like! #3 I'd love in black, grey or a jewel tone. I'd prefer it extra large if possible. #7 Even though I'm an avid knitter/crocheter, I've never mastered hats! I would love one of these in a pretty jewel tone. The kindness monster is super cute, too, but unnecessary. If your witch was able to obtain digital media that you could not access (TV, movies, books, etc.), is there anything you have been in search of for quite a while? If yes, what devices do you use to play such (i.e. Windows, Mac, etc.)? No thanks Is there anything you want from Japan? Some kind of food, cute stationary, fandom merch, maybe you collect lucky cats, anything! I love Japan so much! I'm a sanrio fan. Little Twin Stars, Keroppi, Chococat are a few of my favorites. I'd love a lucky cat! 10/9/18 Are you interested in anything from Nerdlacquer? http://www.nerdlacquer.com/ Grootslang looks cool, but I hardly have time to paint my nails anymore. 10/8/18 Speaking of OOS/Discontinued - Are there any old favorites from no longer operating companies that you would like if either anyone had a stash OR could find a reasonable dupe? Booze, yea or nay? Favorite kinds? Knitted stuff? Need/want anything specific? Colors? Feelings re: Lewis Carroll/Alice in Wonderland? Love it, hate it, meh it? Are you thinking of participating in NaNoWriMo this year? Any merch or pre-Nano supplies you might want? I just recently discovered MoonMagic -jewelry with a focus on moonstones but also opals and labradorite. They currently have a sale. Anything that stands out to you? (moonmagic.com) Do you like quirky socks? Any preferred styles (ankle, thigh-high..)? 10/7/18 Would you like a postcard from the fancy schmantsy St Pancras Renaissance hotel that I'm about to stay in several times over the next month? (Witches, I'll happily send one to your witchee if they would like it) Does anything catch your eye from Future Primitive, including oos things?

Agape on me is a very sweet vanilla apple.

1. I wonder what a potential witchee would think about being bombarded with PUMPKINS in various formats. Because my current obsession just may last long enough to be of use in spoiling.....but I know wouldn't be appreciated by everyone. Would you appreciate it?!? I like pumpkin stuff! As for food though, please don't send too much, the hubby and I are trying to watch our eating. We would love small amounts of things though. I am one of those BPAL-ers that can't do much with BPAL's pumpkin note though (the fake buttery popcorn problem). However, I have had very good luck with Blue Pumpkin Floss (the prototype V3) and BPTP Marshmallow Pumpkin 2. I currently have a CSA and my significant other is perpetually out of town for work, so I've been doing a lot of canning and baking with my vegetables. How do people feel about canned good (pickles, salsa, etc) and vegetal baked goods (squash bread, zucchini bread). Not so much with pickled goods/breads, but I'd love some sugar free jams. 3. Trading Post wants? Implacable Beautiful Tyrant Hair Gloss! I tried a decant of it a while back and fell HARD for the scent. I haven't gotten a full size bottle yet! I'd also love to try decants/samples of other hair gloss scents, like Fig and White Sandalwood, Coconut, Vanilla Bean and Tiare, and Amber and Patchouli. 4. What direct sellers do you not like and would prefer not to get things from? And also feel free to list any retail brands you really don't like. Avon. I do like Mary Kay's skincare though. 5. How about y'alls coffee and tea preferences? I'm a medium roast kind of girl, though I do really like Starbucks blonde roast. Whole bean please! Since working at Sbux a few years ago I prefer grinding my own coffee I love all kinds of tea but especially fruity ones. my favorites are Earl Grey (esp the starbucks one, since it has lavender buds in it!) Tazo Passion (hot!) and really any brand of Raspberry black teas. 6. Do you cook? Would kitchen accessories make you happy? I would adore a mandoline slicer or lemon zester grater. 7. How do people feel about creative endeavours? Would you like to receive one? Or supplies to make your own? What do you like? Drawings, stories, poems? I would love supplies/kits for crafting things! I really love embroidery/cross stitch, knitting and crocheting 8. What culture or country (doesn’t have to be modern) do you feel an innate connection with? What about it makes it special to you? Japan. I want to live there. if I wasn't tied down right now I would seriously consider moving there to teach english or something. I love their food, culture, religions, social customs, art/anime etc. I wouldn't even know where to start if you asked me what my favorite things are, just assume I love everything! 9. Is there any sort of art commission you would like: cartoony, pin-up, fantasy, realistic, etc? If so, what subject would you like drawn (a picture of you, a character, a loved one or pet)? I guess not, thank you though 10. What do you find yourself doing for fun in your free time? What are your main hobbies and interests? Knitting tons, watching anime, cooking/baking, reading, sometimes writing, going for walks. 11. Table-top gaming? If yes, what kind, edition, etc? Gaming accessories you long for? My husband and I play Dungeons and Dragons. We would LOVE some RPG goblin squirts of atmo sprays. We already have Exotic Bazaar, but we need others! 12. DVD movies or games that you wish would magically appear in your hands? Can they be used, through Amazon? I've always wanted a DVD of Bjork's movie Dancer in the Dark. 13. What kind of snacks or candy from other countries/states would you like to try? EVERYTHING FROM JAPAN. I love seaweed snacks, rice crackers (esp. seaweed flavored and rice cracker peanuts) ANYTHING Lychee (seriously, I'm obsessed with lychee). One of my favorite Japanese candies are those Choco gummies, the fruit gummies covered in chocolate. Also, anything Japanese that is apple or peach flavored. (I have a Japanese food weakness!) 14. Do you have a favorite internet meme, character or pop culture fandom? not really. Fandom stuff really turns me off. I have friends that are so obsessed with Dr. Who that it has completely turned me off from ever watching it. To me it is not unique anymore when there are rabid fans that spend thousands of dollars they can't afford on a show's related paraphernalia, must quote Dr. Who daily, regardless if anyone around them gets the reference, and refuse to watch anything else. I'm sorry to those on here that are fans, I just hate those that get so obsessed with things that it interferes with normal life. For instance, I really loved watching Battlestar Gallactica, but I don't feel the need to plaster its logo all over me and quote it constantly. /rant 15. Do you have a Facebook profile (or other social media) that you are comfortable linking to aid your witch in stalking? Please note whether you are willing to add BPALers as friends. Yes and yes! Rachel Joslyn MacGregor. 16. Anybody interested in something from RCCC, whether it's con-exclusive merch or from a particularexhibitor or artist? That's okay, I'm more into Slave Labor Graphics type comics (dark, like Lenore, Nightmares and Fairytales, etc) 17. How important to you is regular contact / chatter with your witch? I'd like at least some contact. One time I got absolutely NO contact and it depressed me because I assumed I was going to get shafted. Once every two weeks or so, I think. That's what I do as a witch. 18. Do you like puzzles/riddles/treasure hunts and that sort of thing? Sure! 19. If you were to receive music, would you want a physical CD or digital versions? I'd love some. Digital would be easier I suppose, but either is fine 20. What’s a current problem/annoyance you have that could be remedied but you haven’t had time to address it? cleaning/ironing 21. How do you feel about having some sort of trinket to carry around for good luck/wishes? i.e. a small figurine, symbol, card, coin… I'd love that!! Good luck, home blessing, wishes - that would be so cool 22. Are you superstitious about anything? Any things you can't have in your house for that reason--bad associations? Nah. 23. For the vegetarians and vegans: How do you feel about things (say, marshmallows or gummy candy) made with vegan gelatin or other typically-animal-derived-but-not-in-this-instance products? not vegetarian. 24. Ok, so we've covered pumpkin. How do you feel about the other fall classic – apples? APPLE IS MY LIFE (drama). But no, really. Apple is my #1 favorite flavor of anything. Closely followed by peach and lychee. 25. Do you have any fabric or skin-contact aversions? I'm allergic to angora (lol not that I was expecting any!) 26. How do you feel about Christmas/Yule ornaments? Sure! We don't have many. 27. How do you feel about Hello Kitty, and Hello Kitty accessories (including mugs, cups, etc)? Yes!!! I like Hello Kitty but I love Choco Cat more. Also Keroppi, Little Twin Stars, Badtz Maru... 28. If you had a week free where you could learn anything, with no financial restrictions, what would you want to study? Japanese. Maybe sock knitting. 29. Do you enjoy poetry? Who are your favorite poets and what type of subject matter do you like? I adore confessional poetry. Sylvia Plath, Pablo Neruda, Anne Sexton... I also really like writing poetry but I don't usually have the urge to do it much anymore. 30. Would you enjoy receiving something related to a favorite Disney character? Nah. I'm not really a Disney fan. 31. How do you feel about cute things as decorations or accessories? (Example: Would you enjoy this stationery - or do you prefer elegant/creepy/neutral stuff?) I like both!! I love Japanese kawaii kinds of stationery, pens, accessories and things. I'd love a new cute cover for my iphone 4 (yes, I still have a 4!) 32. What is something you'd really like to recieve from your witch? Please be as specific as possible - no, "Oh whatever she thinks is fine!" I am just going to come right out and say that I would adore some BPAL (and maybe some socks...) 33. Go to your music source of choice - on random or shuffle setting if possible - & share with us the 10 most recent songs/artists. S.H.E. - IAMX <3 Jonathan - Fiona Apple Travel - The Gathering You Look So Fine - Garbage Dark February - Rasputina For You - H.I.M. Sunspots - Nine Inch Nails To Sheila - Smashing Pumpkins Bloodsport - Sneaker Pimps Liquid Diamonds - Tori Amos 34. Tarot cards, rune stones and/or other divination tools yay or nay? Yes! All!

Glitter? are you okay with it, or hate it like the plague? It's okay as long as it is subtle. I love fine glitter pigments to put over darker eyeshadows. 37. If there was another time period other than now that described your style/aesthetics, what would it be? Victorian! Also, Art Nouveau/Edwardian 38. If you had to pick one or two quotes to live by, what would it be and why? not sure. 39. Do you prefer physical books? CD books? eBooks? If eBooks do you have preferred format, kindle/nook/kobo/PDF/ePub/ect? eAudio? I do prefer physical books but I don't mind e-books.

Sure! 42. If you were to get a custom bottle from House of Gloi made for you what notes would create your perfect blend? Rose, amber and clove with a touch of patchouli (They don't have amber though ) I basically just want to recreate Moonalisa's Selene the Dreaming Fairy Queen! 43. If your witch were to take a photograph (or paint or whatever) of something just for you, what would it be? Landscape? Flower? Critter? Something to illustrate a favorite quote? Hmm I'm not sure. Maybe some scenery from Oahu (where I had my honeymoon). 44. What is your favorite Halloween animal or other symbol/decoration? black cats and bats! (moreso the cats though) 45. Makeup, especially of the indie variety. Nail polish, nail wraps, eyeshadow, lipstick/gloss, etc. Y/N? Specific preferences (color, finish, product, brand, etc.)? Sure! I'd love to try stuff. I've never tried nail wraps before. I'm not the biggest nail polish person and I don't like lip gloss. I'm mostly into eyeshadows, neutral matte (or matte-ish) lip colors and I love lip balm. 46. How do you feel about profanity and off-color humor? It's okay to an extent, as long as it has a purpose.

I am terrified of bugs. 50. This has kind of been covered, but, are you ok with receiving canned jam (from a veteran jammer!) and if so, what flavors would you like and not like? I would love some sugar free jam! Raspberry or strawberry would be great! 51. Let's talk nail polish. What colors do you love? Hate? Which brands are you dying to try? Have you ever used indies? Do you like glitter? Any textures to avoid (glitter, sand, etc)? I'm not REALLY into nail polish, though I like painting my toes once a month. I prefer dark rich colors. Glitter can work. 52. How do you feel about getting a special Halloween plushie? OMG I would love that... I don't know why but I always love getting stuffed animals lol. 53. I'm in Japan, anything specific you might want from the land of the rising sun? I would appreciate ANYTHING from Japan. Teas, snacks, incense, buddhas, paper art, kimono fabric, pens, pencils, stationery, phone cases (I have an iphone 4), omg anything cute or traditional really. 54. Are there any GC scents that you know you love, but for whatever reason, keep putting off buying bottles of? Eat Me, Imp, more Snake Oil! 55.

Is there anywhere (in the US) that you are dying to get away to? Also when would you be able to get away. Would this even be something you were interested in? If so, go look at the Southwest sale for routes and dates and times. I'd love to visit the Northwest coast, but won't have time for another year or so. 57. If you are ok with receiving t-shirts, what size are you, do you prefer tissue tees, normal crew tees, babydoll etc? Tissue tees, I love them. babydolls and crews never fit me right. 58. THINKGEEK!

Zombies, yes or no? Sure! No t-shirts though. 60. Would you like arm warmers/fingerless gloves? If so, what length? just beyond the wrist, almost to the elbow, full sleeves? I'd love some plain black, grey or dark purple ones. I normally don't like wearing them because I've only had tighter ones, but some looser ones would be great! 61. Do you feel a particular affinity for a specific animal/s? My favorite animal is the cougar/mountain lion. I have a mountain lion TY beanie baby that I keep as a mascot on my desk 62. Anyone have any Paintbox Soapworks loves? I know I liked Indian Summer when I tried it. I'd love to try more scents! 63. How would you feel if your witch or a minion of your witch showed up in person at your house with goodies? Thrilled? Annoyed? Completely creeped out? Honestly, I'd probably freak out, sorry. 64. Do you have a ravelry account? Tell me about your yarn obsessions. I do!! I'm darkbird on there. I love knitting because it helps me with my anxiety but I also really love creating practical things. I'm currently making baby blankets but I'd love to learn how to make socks! I like 'homespun' looking yarns, I'd love to try different kinds. my favorite colors are usually jewel tones. 65.

Favorite colors? I don't really like or use dishcloths. I have too many scarves, but I would LOVE a warm shawl that I can wear around the house. Nothing too fancy, something more practical. In a muted color like grey or dusty purple 67. Is your Amazon WL up-to-date? yes, but I'm always adding things... 68. If you were to receive handmade caramels, would it matter if they were made with raw cream (unpasteurized)? That would be awesome! 69. Would you enjoy getting a sampling of quality incense taken from various sources? Are there types of incense you know you don't like? Would you want a burner for loose incense and a few charcoals to get you started with that, or would you rather stick to simpler types? Sure I'd love to! I love nag champa and Japanese incenses. Stick incense though, I've tried charcoal and it is a bit too high maintenance for me. 70. I know we already had a question about needed kitchen accessories, but what about spices? Hmm, I'd love to try new quirky spice blends! 71. Would you like handmade stationary or cards? How about a quill pen? Sure! I don't know when I would use them though... 72. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being "gimme that ghost pepper!" and 1 being "oh, that's a bit too much black pepper for me" Where is your heat tolerance? Not very high lol. Maybe a 2 or 3. 73.

What gadgets do you use in your everyday life and would you like a cool case for them - with your favourite fandom or artwork or saying? I would actually love a knitted sleeve for my new macbook pro. it is 13". I am currently trying to knit one myself but I don't think I'll ever finish it due to the amount of new knitting projects I've been taking on! 77. Are there any beauty accessories you need or would like? For example make-up brushes, facial brushes or eyelash curlers. I would love a canister to hold my makeup brushes. i have so many and all i have to hold them is an old oatmeal box cut in half I could also use some decent eyelash curlers. 78. Would you be disappointed to get one big box, or would you prefer a bunch of little ones? And would you be disappointed if your witch actually had it together early and sent it to you sooner than later? I won't lie, I love a big box, but I won't be disappointed in whatever is easiest for my witch And it can be at any time! 79. Stores are putting out their halloween PJs and undies! Would you be happy to get any in a package? And if so, what size? For PJ pants, do you like cotton or flannel? I can never have enough PJ pants! I love them too big, so XL would be perfect I like both cotton and flannel, however I find that most flannel PJ's I've had run smaller and are more fitted (=LESS COMFY) than just cotton ones. 80.

Yay or nay? I have sensitive skin, so my holy grail skin cleanser is Olay sensitive skin face wash. I am looking for a cruelty free alternative though (there's got to be one out there!). I also use cetaphil moisturizer (not the facial one, the thinner body lotion) at night and Olay sensitive skin sunscreen lotion during the day. I am TOTALLY open to trying alternatives! 86. If you happen to be my witchee, would you be interested in any of the items in my etsy shop? You can favorite them on etsy or mention the specifics in your blog https://www.etsy.com...f=hdr_shop_menu Everything looks awesome but I already have too many scarves, hats, ipod socks, etc 88.

Jamberry nail wraps? nah, that's okay. I'm not huge on nail polish. 99. If you had to choose one currently available book (used-but-obtainable counts if you do used) costing $20 or under for your Witch to buy for you, what would it be? The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman (hardcover). I've been wanting to get it for a long time. 101. Do you want anything from the Fatherhood update at the Post?

(caramels, nuts, chocolate, etc.) I would prefer whole bean, because it helps it last longer and stay fresher since I have a little coffee grinder. I'd love some flavored coffee! Really anything would be good, but my favorite coffee flavors are cinnamon, coconut and chocolate 10/28/13: Are you interested in anything from the Haus of Gloi yule update on November 3rd? Which products and which scents? Wintervale and Three Treasures. Probably just perfume oil samples. The lip balms all sound amazing, it's hard to choose which one. I think the Gingerbread. 10/27/13: How do you feel about nail polish? If you like it, are there any brands or colors in which you are interested? I'd love any deep blood reds, dark blues, purples or greens. Metallic! What about makeup? What brands do you prefer and which products would you most enjoy receiving? I have way too much makeup, but I'd love to try samples of skincare products and foundations. Anything for sensitive skin would be great, and usually I'm the lightest color. 10/26/13: Your feelings on Adagio teas: If you've never had anything from them, would you be open to trying them? If you HAVE had them and like them, name some favorites blends. Sure! anything fruity please! I'm also starting to get into green teas that have a hint of fruity flavor. (I also LOVE raspberry earl grey, which is hard for me to find, unfortunately) Do you like video games? Are there any you want to play? Do you have a large library? No thanks. Name three BPAL scents you have tried, but are dying to get more of. Blue Snowballs, Blue Pumpkin Floss V3, Tanuki no Orai Have you ever tried anything from Paintbox Soapworks? Which products or scents would you prefer? I haven't, but I'd love to try anything! I think I'd be interested in Indian Summer, if they still have that scent. Do you like/have space to garden? If so, what do you grow? Unfortunately I go away to school in the summer, so I haven't been able to garden! Gift cards/vouchers - yay or nay? If you like them - which stores would you like one for? Sure! Target or Trader Joe's would be nice! Seen anything lately that makes you go OH HOLY FUCK THAT'S AWESOME!! ? I can't think of anything, sorry Name five small things you could use, but might not think to get for yourself? cute notepads, cheesecloth, pizza cutter, strong magnets, placemats in a sage green color. Is there anything from a farmer's market you might like? I can't really think of anything that would be okay to ship. Maybe some apple or pumpkin butter? 10/25/13: Do you have any upcoming away time I should be aware of, for shipping purposes? nope! Would you like anything from Sock Dreams? here is my wishlist. The slouch socks have been my staple for like 7 years! I usually get the dark red and plum ones, so I have enough of those. I'd love some grey ones. These are another favorite. I'd love some red and "denim" ones. 10/24/13: Is there anything in the Miskatonic Valley Philharmonic update that you're interested in? UMM YESS THE APPLE SCENT! Is there anything my mom's etsy shop that you're interested in? Love those knitting bags! I really like the bat one 10/24/13: Is there anything you'd like from Lush, witchee? I really love the Karma scent, so I'd love anything with that. I'd also like to try a lip balm or a lip stain if they had a plummy color. If I were your witch and were to paint you something, what would you absolutely love, what would you feel ambivalent toward, and what would you not like to see or receive? This might seem really lame, but I would ADORE a painting of a mountain lion, or African lion (or really any wild cat). Speak to me of jewelry! If you like earrings, what kind? Dangly earrings, hoops, studs - what kind do you like? How long do you like your necklaces? Or would you prefer to just get a pendent, so you can size the chain yourself? Details, they make me happy. I don't really wear anything in my ears but small silver studs with gemstones. I love necklaces though! I like wearing small dainty pendants on 18" silver chains, and I am obsessed with gemstones, especially amethyst, labradorite, garnet, moonstone and clear quartz (but I'd love ANYTHING). 10/23/13 Are you okay with semi-spicy foods right now? I'm thinking like curry or chipotle? If you were to choose a chili powder would you go Hot, Medium, or Mild? I like mild and sometimes medium, but my husband loves hot! We'd love to try some different currys and chipotles! If you were this mystery witch's witchee, would you be interested in Spoonfudge (http://www.spoonfudge.com/) or any other such "ordered online" sweet? No thank you, unless they have very small portions. Also - Double checking everyone's baked goods status. Home-made baked goods or other food stuffs OK? I'm really trying hard to eat healthy, and the truth is that I have a voracious sweet tooth. I would rather have just a few treats, for sanity's sake. 10/21/13 TRADER JOE'S: I have one near my parent's house, but don't get to it often enough. My favorite thing in the world are their coconut chips! hairsticks I used to use them, especially Ketylos, but since my hair has gotten so thin they just fall out. I do however love wooden hair forks, like this one https://www.etsy.com...=fb2_tnx_title. It holds my hair so well. I only have one, so I'd love more! Is there any craft project/s you are working on now that you need supplies for? Or rather, is there a craft project you've been wanting to do but need stuff to start? I will always take yarn in jewel tones! I also really REALLY need vintage or reproduction Victorian scraps, especially flowers and birds, for my wedding scrap book I am trying to put together. Background scrapbook paper in victorian/art nouveau type prints would be great too! (sorry I know this is a bit obscure.) 10/20/13: Table Games - do you play them? If so, which ones, and which versions, and are there any goodies you might like related to them? Dungeons and Dragons (my husband is OBSESSED and he is the DM of our campaign) We are playing 4.0. I am playing a Drow Assassin that is rebelling against Lolth, and instead worshipping the Raven Queen. Thus, I need MORE RAVEN MOON because it smells exactly like I'd imagine the Raven Queen smelling. I also need some flat black or silver glass marble pieces for my shrouds. Really anything related to my character would be AMAZING. Witchee, are you in need of any particular spices? Some quality cinnamon and vanilla bean pods would be great! I make my own vanilla extract and I am always needing more bean pods. 10/19/13: If you were my witchee, would you be interested in anything from my store or something similar? (Nut-made by LisaNut on etsy.) Those are all really cool! I have too much of that kind of thing though, unfortunately. Say your witch works at a used bookstore. what kinds of things might you like from there? cool old pulp fiction paperbacks? tarot cards? (we have those.) a dr who pen? books about haunted cemeteries in seattle? you may have all of these things:) oh, and also movies. and cds. I love tarot cards, I'd love to get an old rider waite set, as I don't have one of those. Anything celtic would be good too. I'd love any books about hauntings! Anything old and ancient (I've been obsessed with finding an old Godey's Lady's book from the late 1800's since I was a kid), especially homemaking books, ladies magazines or children's books from before the 1950's. Witchee, the Haunt Halloween update goes live tomorrow! When it does, please post right away and let me know your dreams and wishes! I'd be interested in trying the perfumes Burying Tree and Incantare. I've always wanted to try a Lip Lust, but never got around to it. I'd LOVE the caramel apple one and maybe the pumpkin cake. I've got some canned goods put up -- mostly jams/jellies, some apple butter, some applesauce. Want some? If so, what kind(s)? YES I'd love apple or pumpkin butter! Unsweetened applesauce would be great too! How feel you about lip balms, glosses, and lipsticks? Any particular favourite scents/flavours? Any favourite makers/sellers? If all I got was a ton of lip balm from my witch, I would be ecstatic! I am obsessed with lip balm. However I don't really like MyLipStuff balms, they are too greasy/oily! My favorites are Rosebud salve, and the strawberry version they have, or anything with a fruity/candy flavor that are on the waxy side (beeswax/petroleum jelly). The Nivea ones are great too. Not a fan of glosses though. I usually only wear lip balm and matte lipstick on the rare occasion. Since wishlist links never seem to work in forum mail, won't you please re-post your wishlist links here, so they're readable? amazon etsy 10/18/13: Are you a fan of anything that you would like a tshirt of? If so, what size would you wear? I need more band shirts and I NEED BPTP SHIRTS! I only have Sleepy Moon 2006 (which is falling apart!) and I have this years Black Butterfly Moon. My favorite is the baby Bella tee, and I am a medium in that. I am a fangirl of things like GoT, Batman, Battlestar, Firefly, but I don't really like plastering myself in memorabilia. I WOULD however, swoon over a literature tee. Like these: http://outofprintclo...-shirts/womens/ I'd love a Little Women, Moby Dick, The Raven, Alice in Wonderland, Jane Eyre or Sense and Sensibility tee Do you love, hate, or are indifferent to.....pumpkin flavored things? Love them! I'm not a huge fan of 'pumpkin spice' flavored chocolate though. I'd rather just have regular chocolate! Anything else pumpkin would be welcome! (teas, coffees, baked goods, etc ) Dear future Witchee, did you get anything from the Beaver Moon or Weenie updates that I need to know about, so I don't accidentally repeat anything? I got September Midnight and snakes in the pumpkin patch, and I have some weenie decants coming. I haven't gotten anything from Beaver Moon, but I'd love to try decants or sniffies! I also really wanted to get a new BPTP hair gloss, or at least try a new one, but I ran out of money. The werebeast one, definitely. I'm waiting and waiting for my beloved Implacable Beautiful Tyrant to come back. I only have a small decant, and didn't get a big bottle in time before they went out of stock Name some DVDs you wouldnt mind receiving, or are they on an Amazon list? I'll put them on my amazon wishlist! Do you want anything from Starbucks or Teavana? Tea, tea makers, rock sugar, tea tins, coffee, via, via refreshers, mugs, tazo tea...? YESS EVERYTHING! worked at starbucks for two years and I miss my weekly pound of coffee/tea tin. My favorites are Yukon and Guatemala (medium blends) I also like Gold Coast for dark blends. And I have had a long obsession with Passion tea, which I always seem to be running out of! I love the berry hibiscus refreshers but I'm more of a fan of the store made drink than the vias. I'd love to try any Teavana fruity tea blends! 10/17/13: Halloween Candy, Decorations, and Costume supplies - What kind are your idea of FUN and which ones would you thoroughly dislike? I love all types of halloween decorations, but I tend to lean toward macabre and cute things. WHAT traditions to you partake in for Halloween? Knowing what you do our how you decorate or how you celebrate? Not really anything yet, besides dressing up for parties, though we won't be doing that this year. 10/16/13: Hey, Witchee, it's getting cold. Socks, scarves, hats or arm warmers? Socks please!! I knit a lot myself, so instead of scarves, hats and armwarmers, I'd love new patterns and yummy yarn to make them with!

I just want to say first off that I am so excited to be playing this again! Thank you to my dear Witch for scoping me out. I always feel a bit weird asking for things, so I will just post things I really like! I absolutely love Yankee Candle's Sugared Apple! Bordering on obsession actually. The problem is that it has been 'discontinued' but whenever I ask about it in stores, there is always a small supply on the "throwback" shelf, and there is always a bunch at the factory in MA. I'm not sure why they say it's discontinued when they still technically produce it. Anyway I am down to my last jar, and there's less than half left so I would shriek with joy to be gifted with ANYTHING Sugared Apple. seriously. That was the only thing I could think of for now, but I am sure I will think of more later!

Unfortunately, all I can smell is Frankincense. Even after the dry-down, even as it fades from my skin. And the frankincense is overpowering. I have hope for this though because it seems like other people are experiencing the other notes. I'm going to let this sit for a few weeks, and hopefully update this!

My mom is obsessed with Antique Lace and is absolutely heartbroken that it has been discontinued. However I tried Celeste (Courtesans) last night and it seems pretty similar. I'm personally not a fan of Antique Lace, but I thought I'd pass it along. Anyone find anything else similar to Antique Lace?

Oh I didn't think of that one. My mom has a bottle, so I will try it this Thanksgiving. Thanks!

I'm getting married in 3 months and I still haven't decided what to wear! I know I want to wear BPAL now. I had a brief stint where I was going to wear Vera Wang, but after testing it a few times, it ended up smelling too much like my MIL to be's Estee Lauder Beautiful. uhhhh. so far here is what I've got for maybes: Snow White 2005 Katharina I'm thinking floral vanillas similar to Snow White, or peach, or white musk-ey scents. I do not want anything overly foody. I like Peach Moon but it isn't quite what I'm going for. Snow White might not be it, I feel like I have worn it too often. If I can't choose though, I will go with Snow White. I want to try: Unveiled The Girl (been wanting to try this for a while actually, it is quite hard to find)

possibles: Jacob's Ladder '05 (or the new one, if there is one for 2012) Villainess' Birthrite BPAL's Snow White 2005 Bewitched The Lion I want to try decants of: A Wonderful Light Belle Epoque* Beautiful and Adored* Cathedral Dreamland El Amor y la Muerte* Eternal Fallen The Girl* Helena Heavenly Love & Earthly Love Haunted Katrina Van Tassel Love's Philosophy* Lucy's Kiss Maiden Ophelia* Peony Moon Regan Silver Phoenix Succubus Swan Maiden* Szepasszony Titania* Two Five Seven* Unveiled* Vasakasajja*

I just like the pretties If your witch were to knit you a scarf/shawl/cowl, which would you prefer, and what features would you want? Would you prefer something light and drape-y or thick and warm? What kind of colors would you prefer? Do you have any fiber allergies or preferences? I would love a lacy knit/crocheted shawl to keep me warm!

May If your witch was the practical type and wanted to include one or more of your everyday essentials, what would those include?

Tazo Passion or Zen Tea, wasabi peas, Mary Kay Timewise products (especially the moisturizer), Clinique Dramatically different lotion. LUSH Karma soap (or anything scented in Karma. Jane Austen .. Yay or Nay? She's alright. Restoration-ish era literature kind of bores me though. I prefer the passionate mid to late Victorians.

Are you scientifically curious and/or process-oriented? Would you like a project-type gift that allowed you do do something like make soap from scratch, take and (nontoxic-ly) develop photographs using a pinhole camera, use plant dyes on yarn or fabric, etc.? I would love a project gift! I'm really into all crafts. Witchee, would you like a gently used BPAL tshirt? Of course! I don't have many BPAL shirts. Do you like homemade snack mixes? I know Puppy Chow was mentioned in a previous question, but what about healthier and more natural type snacks like granola or trail mix? You can put a lot of delicious and fun things into trail mix, yeah?

I really need a good foundation brush and a powder brush. Do you like Legos? Especially mini-fig key chains, Lego block keychains, small Lego sets, etc? No thanks. Since the previous question about "what would you buy from the Lab if you had unlimited funds, etc" left WAY too much to the imagination with no limitations (my answer was pretty much BUY ALL THE THINGS!), what would you do if you found a $50 bill on the ground and a nagging voice in the back of your mind told you that you HAD to spend it on BPAL or else face Death. Also, say they had free shipping (LOL) so don't factor that in. What would you get? And spend it all! Or as close to $50 as you can get. #occupywallstreet and maybe a Weenie, even though I haven't tried them yet! Are there any characters that you love or identify with? Jo March from Little Women, ever since I was a little girl. Are there any Arcana Weenies that you MUST HAVE? I haven't looked =( I'll update when I've looked. So what say you? IS an "unexpected" visit/in-person witching OK? As friendly as I am, and as much as I love my Witch, I'd have to say no, that would freak the $@ out of me. Maybe if it was planned ahead of time. September 19th How do you feel about franken polish? Are you okay with all chemicals, or would you prefer 3 free? Would you want glitter or holographic glitter? What colors would interest you? Deep dark metallic colors, purple, red, grey, blue, green. I don't mind chemicals because I use a chemical free base usually. Dear witchee, how do you feel about lip balm?

Are you one of those people who could never have enough lip balm even though you have a bowl on your dresser overflowing with them and 10 in your purse and an order for more on the way?

September 16th Are you more prone to order out or cook at home? Would you be interested in cookbooks, kitchen utensils, and the like? If so, anything specific?

Ya wanna? What kind? I would love little bottles of flavored vodka or rum, as long as there is no sugar in them What are your views on fudge and brownies?

I need measuring spoons, measuring cups, kitchen towels, hot pads, stainless steel pots and pans, and the kitchen colors I am planning are black and red.

DVDs, Blu-Ray, both, neither? regular DVDs are fine! Sock Dreams? What kind? (anklets, footies, etc.?) I'm all good for socks right now. Since this is a price capped round, would you rather get one "big" thing or lots of "little" things or don't care? What ever my witch desires, I have no preference, it is fun either way!

I can't really have it at the moment Steampunk inspired items? Yay or nay? Sure! Do you like amurigami dolls? Of course, they are cute.

Read, knit, clean my room, go out for coffee and shopping with my best friend and talk about baby stuff, go out to dinner with my boyfriend. Do you have any blogs you regularly read? Not regularly, but I have been keeping up with Andra's Love to Eat Hate to Exercise blog because I enjoy it so much. Do you need another bpal box? If so what would your fantasy one look like? No thanks, I already have like 20 lol. Do you enjoy gardening? If so, what kind of stuff do you grow? Vegetables, flowers? Well, I do usually enjoy gardening, but I am not sure what it will be like when I move this summer. The apartment we are thinking about might not have a gardening space, though I suppose I could use pots out on the balcony, if we have one. If so, I'd love to grow tomatoes and fresh herbs in pots. Social Networking sites: just facebook for now. Though I'm getting tired of being mindlessly addicted to it. I am tempted to just cut and run. favourite artists or specific paintings?

Chocolate Creme, Caramel, or Dark Chocolate? No thanks, those are deliciously dangerous, and I'm dieting. Is there any "classic" literature (Hemingway, Dickens, Elliot, Bronte, Hugo, Wilde, etc.) that you would like to add to your collection? Oh yes! I'd love some E.M. Forster, more Dickens, Austen, Hemingway... I'll put some on my amazon wishlist. candles and/or aroma melts: yay or nay?

Yes, actually I need the basic seasonings because my boyfriend and I are moving into our first apartment this summer! Do you like any particular kinds of green or black teas or coffees that could also be gotten in bulk? Sure, anything would be good. I am particularly fond of earl grey, and flavored coffees are the BOMB. Favorite snack foods (and can they be from bulk section as well?) Maybe? I'll be able to have nuts pretty soon. I really love sugar free jerky for snacks. Baked Goods? Yea Nay? I'd love to say yes, but I am currently dieting, low carb. Unless you have super kick ass Atkins baking skills! If not Baked goods and you are changing eating habits..a book of recipes perhaps that will help the new eating lifestyle? Sure! I'd love some low carb cook books! I will see if I can put some ideas on my amazon wishlist Mix CDs Yes please! I'm always looking for new music!
