Q&As
Would you like one of the Teeturtle t-shirts?
I'd only wear them for 'lounge wear', but they're cute for that - especially the Howling at the Moon glow in the dark one! The relaxed M would probably be best for me.
How do you feel about indie makeup?
I've never used it, but I am up for trying. I don't wear much eyeshadow but I'm a blush & highlighter addict.
What are your feelings about Scooby Doo?
Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School was one of my most-watched videos as a kid, but my enthusiasm for SD has since waned.
Would you be interested in trying Criobru?
It sounds interesting, so sure.
How would you feel about receiving a hand-painted container for your bpal and/or other treasures? would you want a big wood box (~50 bottles), a small wood box (~20 bottles) or a tin for carrying imps around?
I would love that - my bpals are currently kept in USPS priority mail boxes
Who is into K-Beauty (Korean beauty products like sheet masks): Ive only tried a few things but I love them!
- What are your faves if you are? Sheet masks definitely, essences, high SPFs for the face and anything in cute packaging. I know I like Tony Moly stuff, and Id love to try other brands.
What are some NEW things you've gotten interested in this year? Could be anything, from a new hobby, new genre of book, new healthy way of living, new fav brand of whatever... Running is the big thing Ive gotten into this year.
Ive also started following baseball after seeing the Tampa Bay Rays on holiday. Being in the UK I dont have a particular attachment to any place in the US so I decided to support the Phillies because I like their typeface (then I saw their performance, but Im sticking with them anyway).
What are your coffee and/or tea preferences? Coffee: whole beans or ground? Flavor and roast preferences? Tea: black, green, herbal, flavors? Loose leaf or tea bags? Anything specific you don't like? Are you in need of any gadgetry?: I drink too much espresso, using a stove top moka pot, and I love trying new coffees - whole beans ideally. As far as flavour/roast, the richer & stronger the better! I also love tea, all teas but Russian Caravan is my favourite - I love smokiness. I like both loose leaf and bags, so I can choose depending on my laziness level. I think I have the gadgetry I need, and I definitely don't need any more espresso cups (I have approx. 2 million).
Are you a Moonalisa fan? Never heard of it before, but the stuff looks nice!
Are you interested in Coco Pink or House of Gloi? I don't think so.
Would you be interested in a Halloween wreath? As beautiful as they are, I wouldn't use one - I don't really do non-chrirstmas decorations.
Are you interested in FuturePrimitive? How haven't I seen this site before?! I love the look of the whipped body butters and the bath grains - v. much up my street.
Lush Halloween collection? Looks brilliant, and I do like Lush.
Are you into podcasts? If so, what are your favorites? Would you like any merch related to any of them? I only listen to a few podcasts, and I don't think there's much merch associated with them - Frank Skinner, The Cycling Podcast, We're No Doctors w/ Busy Philips, Desert Island Discs, Geoff Lloyd.
ILNP? Who would love one of their awesome holos like MEGA or one of their amazing chromes? I bite my nails, so polish is out
Would you want to receive a custom spell kit or magical tea? If so, for what purpose would you want it to be made?
That would be cool! I'm enjoying using TALs so something like this would be nice. As for purpose, anything to do with creativity or motivation/discipline would be most useful.
Do you like poetry? I like a few poets, mostly the metaphysical poets and I love Philip Larkin's work. I usually *hate* hearing poetry recited though.
Anyone like handmade critters, stuffed animals, or custom repaints? I do! Although I'm not sure what a custom repaint is, but if it falls in the same category as stuffed animals I'm sure it's good.
Would you enjoy any designer/specialty yarn for your own craftyness? I don't knit (yet) so yarn wouldn't get much use
Would anyone like a donation made in their name to a cause or charity? That would be lovely
Is there anything you want from Japan? Any interesting stationery, fun little gadgets, all the stereotypical stuff!
How do you feel about nail wraps? As above, I don't use nail stuff
If you were to receive something hand knit, what type of item would you like? hat, cowl, handwarmers, etc. and what color(s)? A cowl or handwarmers would be great, I don't wear hats. As for colours, I like grey, orange, navy, green.

If you could be ANY character from a film, TV show or book, who would it be and why?
If you could hop into a time machine and travel anywhere/anytime, where would it be and why? Victorian London has always appealed, especially the shady backstreets!
Do you like and/or want anything from Elements and Artifacts? You can be vague like "yes" or "no" or name specific past pieces you coveted or current ones you love, whatever works best. The stuff is really pretty, so yes - not earrings or rings though.
Anyone want any kind of costuming accessories or makeup or odds and ends? Not for me
Here's a great local soapmaker I love--y'all see anything you would like? https://littleseedfarm.com/ The body oil and scrubs look nice
What are your favorite/preferred Halloween/autumn icons/images? Any to specifically stay away from? I'm easily creeped out by dead/demonic faces so I'd rather stay away from that. I do like cute ghosts, anything to do with the moon, bonfires.
Do you eat candy, and if so would Halloween candy be welcome? Specialty candy from local or unusual sources? Chocolate? I do, and it would!
Do you want Fidget spinners, desk toys, or other frivolous things that you look at and decide you don't need enough to spend $ on but would make you happy to have? I love a good paperweight!
Any zentangle lovers, people who would like to try it, or would you want a piece of someone else's zentangle art? I'm not particularly fond of it

Candles, Incense, or wax tarts? Do you have favorite brands or Weenies scents for the home? Would you like to receive a wax tarts burner, incense burner, essential oils diffuser, or Halloweenie themed candle holders? Candles are always welcome. I haven't had a tart burner for years and I would really like one. I've got an essential oil diffuser.
Are you a gamer? If so, what games are you currently playing and is there any merch for that game you'd love to have?
I only play games casually these days- I don't have a console or a PC, just a MacBook Pro, and I always have to quit WoW because I can't play in moderation! My main game these days is Stardew Valley, I've seen some adorable SDV merch around and would love anything to do with it! I also love the Elder Scrolls series and would be very happy with any related merch.
My steam wishlist is here, it's in a random order. The main games I want to play are Factorio and Rimworld: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198014409053/wishlist
How do you feel about the following scarf options (assuming you're into scarves)? Simple eyelet scarf - The blue is really nice Chevron scarf - I already have one similar Lacy and fuzzy - I prefer thick, warm scarves! Skinny rib knit (extra long for lots of wrapping) - Nice! Leafy! - Not for me
Like beer? What styles most appeal to you? - No, it's largely vile. I do like Hoegaarden and Duvel, but I'd never choose them over other alcohol.
Like booze? What kinds? I'm a big gin fan (and I liked it before it was cool ) - as long as it's not Bombay Sapphire I'm happy. I also like cider, especially Normandy type ciders and ones meant for mulling. Thistly Cross is my favourite cider maker.
Like Wine? What kinds? I do! I mostly drink red, anything with savoury or smoky notes are a hit for me. I also like prosecco (who doesn't?)
Would you be interested in a set of hand-made hair falls? It's something I do for fun and I can make any length and do an array of colors! I don't tend to wear anything in my hair, so not for me.
For those who watch certain movies every year for Halloween, what are those movies, whether horror or not? Any favorite horror movies that aren't necessarily on the annual-viewing list? How do you feel about fan-made merch for these movies? I don't watch horror because I'm too easily freaked out. The nearest thing to horror that I do watch is one of my favourite films - What We Do in the Shadows.
Is there anything you want from the trading post (or trading post etsy) that is available to order right now? (Fatherhood, Puppers, normal GC things) Definitely! Trading post shipping is a little prohibitive so I don't think I'm going to be able to get these: Pa-Pow, Pickle & Elland hair glosses, and
from Fatherhood:
A Cute Kid
Morning in the City of Angels
My Little Themysciran Princess
Spinning on Graves
Wednesday's Child is Full of Woe
Do you like to cook and/or bake? Could you use any specific ingredients (spices, oils, salts, extracts, etc.) or kitchen utensils/gadgets? I love to do both! I could really do with a new wooden spoon and a chopping board. I also love to get unusual spices, extracts etc to play with - infused sugar is always nice, and anything rose/Violet/lavender (I was born an old lady, apparently).
What is 1 thing you would love to see in your final box? Can be ANYTHING - your choice. Hmm... I've been looking at snow globes this morning, so maybe one of those!
Who would love some USPS eclipse stamps? Sure!
Favorite gemstones? Opal, amber, sapphire (of all colours, I like to drool over the natural sapphire company site), emerald.
If you enjoy jewelry do you like discrete and elegant, flashy and gaudy, small and light, or large and chunky? A bit of all of those options, really! I've out some jewellery on my etsy wishlist for an idea of the sort of style I like.
Any love of pirates or SCA? Not particularly I'm afraid
Is there anything you would like from Disney World? I LOVE all Disney World merch! I was there in June and didn't do half as much shopping as I wanted... The shadow boxes are really cool but pretty pricey, I love all the snow globes (I bought the It's a Small World one ), and all the dinnerware & cooking stuff. My favourite rides/shows at DW are the Haunted House, Tower of Terror, Mt Everest and more than anything - The Enchanted Tiki Room!
Are you a Potterhead? If so, to which house do you belong? I'm mildly into HP, apparently I'm a Slytherin.
How do you feel about chokers? Very uncomfortable!
are you into divination? What kind(s) do you currently do? Do you want more books and/or tools for that type (e.g. new tarot cards, new runes)? Is there a new type of #divination you've been meaning to try, and if so, are you looking for the tool, a book on the subject, or both? I've actually just recently started looking into this, I find tarot very interesting. I'm an uber beginner so very up for books about anything - and I only have digital tarot so a real pack would be lovely.
World my Witchee be interested in a Tarot or Astrology reading done personally? I would love either!
It seems like there's a question about socks on the questionnaire, but I don't think it got down to this level: Do you wear them? Any particular style (crew length, knee high, anklet, boot, etc.) or fiber (wool, cotton, bamboo anything but wool, etc.) preference? I do wear socks! Usually crew or ankle length for regular wear, but u *love* fluffy socks for wearing in bed - my feet are permanently cold
Would you be open to previously-loved books? I would!
What about partial-full bottles of BPAL or BPTP? Definitely!
So what are your favorite fandoms? I'm not sure I'm into any fandoms, I don't like star wars, star trek, game of thrones etc. I do like Disney and I saw that might be classed as a fandoms?
Are you interested in anything from Think Geek? http://www.thinkgeek.com
I need these Parks & Rec vinyl figures in my life: url="http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/kgpt/?srp=1"]http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/kgpt/?srp=1[/url]. Also, anything from the Star Watcher section of the site - I started a wishlist but it was basically just that whole section, especially the glow in the dark calendar!
Do you have something you wish you put on your original questionnaire/forgot to put/would like to add on to? I don't think I mentioned that I love maps. Old maps, fictional maps, maps on prints, tea cloths, clothes, jewellery, anything! And I might not have mentioned how much I love baths - baths for me usually last about an hour (it may be a reason I still haven't decided whether I want kids, can't bear the thought of disrupted bathtime...) and I love all bubbles, oils, fizzes, anything to go in a bath!
If you could decorate your house (or one room) in any one theme, what would it be? Your answer can be as simple ("Star Wars" or "Baroque" or "Modern"), or complicated or a combination (e.g. Victorian Gothic) as you feel best fits. I'd love a night sky themed room, with tiny spotlights all over the ceiling for stars.
Aprons: Do you wear them, do you want one? Utility, decorative, cooking or crafting? I do, and I would! It would be for cooking.
Do you like Broadway shows/music? If so what are some of your favorites and/or ones that you hope to see or listen to eventually? Would you like merch from your favorite shows or CDs from shows you want to listen to? I want to see Hamilton and Book of Mormon, I'm not sure what merch there is for those, tjough
I'm heading to NYCC in October! Is there anything I can get my Witchee while I'm through Mannahatta or Broadway would be amazing!
I'm going to Edmonton Expo this weekend (It's Edmonton's version of comic con). Would a witchee like anything from there? I can't think of anything in particular
Anything catch your eye from this site (globalgirlfriend.com)? The animal treasure boxes are adorable! And the greetings cards are really nice too.
Do you have any favorite, lesser-known stores? Especially ones that sell hand-crafted or independently made items. I've loved hannahzakari.co.uk for years (and currently covet the Relatively Stable pin). And copying off another witch's answer, I'd now love to try http://www.devonshireorganics.com incense - I really want my house to smell like the Vatican!
Imagine you're going to the most gigantic art & craft show imaginable, and money is no object - what kind of things would you gravitate towards and probably spend money on? Include as specific as you want to get! I would buy a big canvas original painting with either a cityscape, a map, or the night sky on it (or one of each), something from offermanwoodshop.com (the man himself would be at the biggest craft show imaginable, I assume!), a handmade ring with a big old natural sapphire, and an unusual pendant.
Would my witchee like this to warm up the fall coffee cup?? https://www.truelemo...gory-s/1871.htm Sounds delicious!
do you like to take baths? if so, do you like oils, salts, things that fizz, all of the above, none of the above? I think I mentioned above that I take a lot of baths - I love all of the above! Anything that smells good.
What style/make/etc of phone do you have? What about size of tablet? Laptop? Would you like decals, skins, or cases for any of these? I have an iPhone SE and a 13" Macbook Pro. I'd really like a laptop case as it's getting scruffy, and I change my phone case often so I'm always up for a new one. I don't have a tablet, but I do have a kindle paperwhite. --Something I would love, is some cool new wallpapers for my macbook - I like space, landscape & arty wallpapers
Are you interested in anything from Bath & Bodyworks? Which products and scents do you like? www.bathandbodyworks.com/ We don't have this in the UK and I've always ignored it because I assumed the scents would be overly sweet and fruity. It looks like I'm totally wrong! The following scents sound great to me, in candles, bath stuff or body lotion/oil:
Lavender & Cedarwood
Eucalyptus & Spearmint
Leaves
Marshmallow Fireside
Sweater Weather
Flannel
Lavender
Birch & argan body oil
Rose water body oil
I am possibly going to a crystal / gem show tomorrow. I can't afford expensive gem stones, but...
What kind of crystals would you like? Whatever looks good! I don't know much about crystals
Pumpkin or Zucchini bread? Not for me, I'm a bit weird when it comes to bread (has to be eaten on the day it's baked, or frozen then grilled when needed)
What kind of homemade cookies are your favorite? white chocolate and/or honey!
Could you use a muscle rub? (We make ours on the lunar cycle and it has menthol, wintergreen, habanero, cayenne, olive oil, st. john's wort, arnica, beeswax, calendula, and ginger. It tingles. We call it "Thunder Butter". If you have really really super sensitive skin, I would recommend against it. And don't take a hot shower or open all of your pores before using it.) That sounds heavenly divine - I love muscle rubs and need them too!
Interested in trying some of our rose petal (rose petals, sugar, everclear) or lavender vanilla bean (lavender, vanilla bean, vodka) liqueur? I am beyond interested and am desperate to try both! Lavender liqueur, oh my goodness.
Want some honey from the bees on our property? Absolutely!
Would you like some homemade jam? I have blackberry, rose petal, strawberry rhubarb, peach, and cherry. If it travels in the post ok, definitely! Rose petals would be amazing, and cherry & strawberry are always great
How about some homemade candied jalapenos with garlic cloves? I have regular and with habanero. Ooh, yes
I didn't dry any apples this year but I was thinking of heading over to Green Bluff and seeing if any honeycrisps are left. I have a commercial dehydrator so let me know if you are interested in any "Apple Crips" (as voodoocatwoman calls them!) I wash, peel, core, and slice before dehydrating. They sound nice!
Do you need any kind of dice bag, tote, project bag, cosmetic bag, pencil bag, or whatever? I have lots of bag patterns and fabric. We make bags under the name Twinkle N Twilight.
Or how about a couple of pillowcases? I can't have enough totes or pencil cases so either of those would be very much appreciated
do you collect the art cards that BPAL sends out? Any in particular that you are looking for or definitely don't need? I haven't figured out what do with them yet but I like them a lot and would like more! No particular hankering, but I do love hhe Carnaval Diaboliques.
Do you like this beautiful art, and she makes stickers and prints...SOOOO gorgeous: https://www.shannatr...om/paperprints/ They're lovely! I particularly like In the Land of the Hanging Heart Cages.
Favorite animals or wild creatures or mythological creatures? Foxes! It's pretty much guaranteed that I'll love anything fox-related. Jack Russells, greyhounds & whippets, tuxedo cats, bears, goats, sharks, capybaras. I don't think there are any mythological creatures I particularly love.
would you like any swag from the Depeche Mode concert? (pins, posters, shirts, program, dunno what they'll have!) No thanks, I think I only know one of their songs *blush*
Is anyone interested in the new Resistance scents that the Lab just released (Take a Knee and SN: Flor de Maga)? Yes! Either. Take a Knee doesn't appeal to me as a scent as apple pie can go very wonky on me (though I love grass/earth notes) but I very much support the cause so I'd love a bottle anyway.
Is anyone here into zero waste, plastic free living, urban homesteading, or any simplicity/minimalism-esque lifestyles? If so, could you use any tools or equipment? My life is both complicated and plasticky, unfortunately, so I wouldn't use anything in this area.
Would anyone be interested in having any of Abigail Larson's artwork (either as a print or on something, like a pillow, blanket, or t-shirt)? https://society6.com/abigaillarson Yes, they're lovely! I particularly like the Unkindness of Ravens illustration, on anything.
Anyone like/want calendars or dayplanners? Yes, both!
If you like stationery, do you like plain, colors, images, or specific DON'T LIKES? I like anything that looks reasonably modern - from minimalist to crazy patterns, as long as it isn't 'grandmother floral' type stuff I'm very happy
What about general desk stuff like cool colored paperclips and post it pads? Yes please! Love all stationery.
Does anything catch your eye from Ten Thousand Villages? http://www.tenthousandvillages.com/ I love the animal bottle toppers! And the origami set looks very cute.
Would you be into receiving hand made (crocheted, sewn, felted, chain maille, scale, or duct tape, in my case, depending on the item) dishclothes? Scarf/shawl? Hat? Bag? Anything? Colors? (Duct tape, chain maille, and scales come in colors.) I'd love any of those things except a hat. Any autumnal colours would be grand.
Do you collect anything from SBUX like City Mugs, City Mug ornaments, City Cards, or Bearistas? If so, which do you need/want? Or would you like a City Mug or an ornament for fun? I don't collect any Starbucks stuff, but I've had my eye on heir flasks for a while - last time I was in there was a very tempting glittery gold one. Bearistas sound adorable.
anybody want homemade fudge? I can do chocolate with or without nuts, peanut butter, and butterscotch. As long is it will survive the journey - I love fudge! Chocolate or butterscotch would be amazing.
do you like spicy foods? I am currently addicted to these suckers and want to send you some buffalo ridged kettle potato goodness (https://www.billygoa...shop/1lb-kicker) Love spicy foods, they look very good.
what would you like from the Weenies updatus giganticus???
Day of Skulls
La Calavera Catrina
October***
The Witch Bride
Dead Leaves, Bourbon, Black Cherry & an Orange Twist**
Dead Leaves,Violet Candy & Sugar Crystals***
Stealthily, Stealthily
Suspicion of Foul Play
I'm a bit giddy about the dead leaves & Violet Candy combo, two of my very favourite notes! I'll only be getting them myself if weenies hang around until November (this is my first year of being into bpal so I'm not sure), as October is taken up with SW and fun car stuff.
Witchees, do you want anything specifically from this page? Mitts, hat, shawls, unicorn... http://iceweasel.net/switchwitch/ The jacinto mitts and the unicorns!
What are your top three most wanted DC'd or previous LE BPALs? The Governess, Vial of Holy Water and a back-up bottle of my beloved Hesiod's Phoenix
What are some things you do NOT want to receive? Anything likely to go mouldy in the post - I have an irrational fear of this after a bad lost luggage experience!
is there anything from here that you might be interested in getting a print (or pillow/make-up case/etc) of?
http://www.blackabbeystudios.com/store LOVE The Reader and The Swan! I'd be happy with either of those on anything
Claire's has some super cute Halloween stuff. In the style of Haunted Mansion - black lace collars, lace and sparkle masques and the like. A few items in Dias de los Muertos style. Would you be interested in such things? No thank you
Would you be interested in anything from Orange Thyme? https://shoporangethyme.com/ If so, which products/scents/flavors? Ooh, Rosemary Mint body butter. And the orange clove lip balm sounds nice too!
How do you feel about these little guys? I think they're adorable and kind of want them all, but especially the ghost and pirate ones. https://lovemomiji.c...imited-editions I love Golden Treeson!
Would you like anything from the Haus of Gloi Fall Part II update? https://www.hausofgl...ween-scent-list: I've never tried Haus of Gloi before but I like the sound of Blood Orange Marshmallow, The Horseman, Grimoire, Spider's Silk & Hex in whipped soap or bathing dust.
Awesome farmer's market by my house. They have a local honey stand (which also sells things made from local honey like Propolis tincture!); there's a small apothecary and she additionally makes soaps and hand-made, hand-poured scented candles; plus a guy that makes an array of BBQ and Hot Sauces. Does ny of this appeal? Would you like anything from my local farmer's market? I love honey and things made from it, love hot sauce, love scented candles, so any of that would be great!
Smolder Cosmetics. Do any of their products (glitter, eye dusts etc) appeal to you? https://smoldercosmetics.com I don't think so. I'm always tempted by matte lipstick but I tend to find it uncomfortable.
Anything from Strobe Cosmetics (http://strobecosmetics.com)? The eyeshadows look nice but I'm only drawn to the boring shades so it's probably not worth it for me.
How would you feel about getting Hello Kitty stuff? I'm fine with HK, not a particular fan but I like anything cute!
Would you like to get some favorite recipes? I love recipes, so yes please!
Would you like anything from my shop? https://www.etsy.com/shop/LisaNut I can't see anything in there for me at the moment.
Witchee, would you like anything from the Trading Post Halloween update? https://blackphoenix...y/weenies-2017/:
I would love:

I Foamed! I Raged! I Swore! Hair Gloss
Dead Leaves & Burnt Marshmallow Hair Gloss
Would any witchees be interested in NASA swag? I'm now super-close to Marshall Space Flight Center and will be visiting the space center with my kiddo pretty regularly. If so, what would you like? Clothes, a mug, magnets, a plush Snoopy wearing a flight suit? Yes! A plush snoopy would be fabulous, a mug would be great, or anything really. I've been to Kennedy Space Centre once but I didn't do nearly enough shopping
Does anybody like anything from Solstice Scents? I LOVE their Jack and the Devil. http://www.solsticescents.com/ Another retailer I've never tried! The Burnishing Glaces sound gorgeous, in Foxcroft, Heat of the Night or Witches Cottage. And the perfume oils in Cliffside Bonfire, Conjure, Fires in the Night, Gibbon's Boarding School, High Noon, Library... (let's just say anything from the entire Ambers & Woods section).
