How would you feel about kitchen towels and other similar household objects, if they are pretty or a souvenir?

 

These would be fine! I’m just starting to “put my house together” so now is the perfect time to get these things. I don’t have anything like kitchen towels, counter containers, a paper towel holder, etc.

 

How did you dress up for your last party or compulsory-formal-dress occasion?

 

Oh. Hm. A semi casual dress in lime green/black/ white big floral pattern.

Would you like to receive e-books? And if so, in what format?

 

Sure! PDF is best. 

 

If you have kids, would you be interested in getting things for them? And if so, what are they interested and what sizes are the wearing now?

 

No kids yet.

 

Would you be interested in a felted handbag? Do any of these styles appeal to you? http://tinyurl.com/3o2epzl (there's at least one guy-friendly style, too!)

 

Yes they are so cute. 3, 6, 8, 9, 10  especially 10, 14 are all awesome.

 

Are there are patterns, motifs, etc that you especially like?

 

Hrm. Not particularly. Simple, clean, elegant is my taste. Like mostly solid with one or two accent colors, I like lots of patterns but I guess I do particularly like paisley.

 

Witchee, would you be interested in having a special tea cup/coffee mug/glass to drink out of?

 

Of course! I drink much tea and wine 

 

If you're a tea drinker, is there any specific tea you would like to receive, not just the kind/flavor but also the type/packing--i.e., tea bags, loose tea, compressed, etc?

 

I have never heard of compressed… but I don’t have a tea ball, so loose only if I had a tea ball. Bags I guess is best, though I prefer loose.

 

September 11th

 

I am fond of the thrift. Do you mind lightly used goods? Please be specific! For instance, I'm a little squicked by used clothing, but I don't mind any other used goods (i.e. books, glassware, games, DVDs, whatever.)

 

I’m okay with almost anything used as long as it is clean and bed bug free (I am very paranoid about bedbugs >_>) I’d prefer no under garments, and if it is shoes, VERY gently used.

 

Do you have an Etsy shop? Do you know of any Etsy shops that are Switch Witch friendly?

 

I do not have an etsy shop… I know there are a ton of SW friendly shops but I can’t think of them atm ><

 

Would a gift or a postcard from Disneyland make you squee with delight or puke into your mail box?

 

If it was Lady and the Tramp… squee

 

what are your favorite types of Halloween candy?

 

Oh Geez. Uh, I love all kinds, including maple candy. I do not like liquorice and thus not good and plenties, but almost anything else. … I’ll try to think about being more specific.

 

Do you prefer soap or shower gel? Please give examples of your favorite scents or brands.

 

Er… shower gel, but I’m not opposed to soap. I don’t really have any favorite scents or brands… I’m VERY b&b uninitiated. So I’m open to enabling? The one thing I will say is that I have very sensitive skin and it dries out easy, so it should be gentle and moisturizing!

 

How do you like your chocolate? For example with nuts, mint, peanut butter, caramel?

 

Caramel, hazelnut, almonds, peanut butter are all good!

 

Beads! Do you use them? Would you want some? What sorts of beads do you like?

 

I don’t really.

 

Anyone here like caramels? Sea salted caramels?!?!

 

Yessssssssssssssssss.

 

 

Would you like a hand dyed or hand painted scarf or wrap or other item? If so, what colors/designs/fabrics do you like?

 

Oh yes, that sounds lovely! I like soft, cozy fabrics. I like bold, jewel tone colors  patterns are irrelevant unless it were themes, in which case nature landscapes, especially soothing ones are best!

 

This was a question before, but does anyone here like stones? Just pretty polished stones for use in whatever purposes?

 

I like them, but I’m not sure what I’d use them for.

 

And another question; anyone like anything in particular from Think Geek?

 

Oh gods. I’ll have to come back to this one.

 

Pinterest, do you have boards you want to share or are you following anyone with great boards you want to share?

 

I… what?

 

 

 

September 10th

 

What #1 actor, director, author and/or musician are you obsessed with?

 

Oh uh. I love musicals, so I <3 Sondheim. I don’t really get obsessed really. I love way too many authors to pin down.

 

are you interested in anything from the Villainness Bad Apples update?

 

Just Right sounds nice. Proscription too. And Twistappel. I’ve never tried anything from the company though.

 

If you have a pet, would he/she/they like to receive a treat or a toy as a gift? Does your pet have any dietary restrictions or other preferences w.r.t. said treat?

 

I have three kitties and they would LOVE stuff. Only thing is one will eat any loose strings/yawn/dangly stuff, so it has to be loose bits free.

 

What are your top three "I want to try them but I think I'll never get to try them" (or, "I've tried them and I want moar moar moar, but I don't think I'll ever get any") scents/bath oils/sprays?

 

Bpal or not? For BPAL I’m never going to get to try Jingo Kogo but I wish I could, and I wish I could wrangle a bottle of Queen of Spades… it is sentimental to me. Bath oils… hm. I’d love to try almost any bath oil . I’m not one much for sprays unless it is hair gloss maybe?

Oh and I’d kill for some Possets Easter Grass.

If you are in to beauty and makeup related stuff, what kind of stuff do you like? What is your skintone and hair color? Are there any beauty products you've wanted to try but just never purchase?

 

I prefer mineral stuff, but I’m really low maintenance for makeup. I love other beauty stuff (lotions/cleansers/etc) and haven’t tried much of anything. I’m very open to enabling.

My hair is dark brown and my skin is a pretty fair beige-ish color.

 

Do you like coffee or tea? Would you be interested in trying some different types?

 

Teaaa! But it must be decaffeinated. And yes, yes yes.

Hiking is nice. I’ve been trying to pick up jogging but it hasn’t happened.. I do weight lift though. And I really like yogo I just haven’t been able to lately.

 

Any witchee's with a ravelry account have any favourited patterns that cost money that would be a welcome gift?

 

I have a ravelry, but I am helpless with knitting and barely not helpless with crochet.

 

Do you work/study at a desk and enjoy interesting or cute office supplies?

 

Yes!

 

Witchee, are you a fan of musicals? If so, which ones?

Does anyone garden? And if you do, what do you grow? If not, would a starter garden kit be something you'd be interested in?

 

I used to garden. I would love an herb starter kit. I <3 gardening but live in an apartment now, so something made for that kind of environment would be ideal.

 

Do you decorate for Halloween? Is your decorating taste elegant, kitschy and fun, or scary?

 

Not really, but if I did it would be all of the above.

 

Witchee, do you have any symbols or totems that have special meaning for you?

 

Sadly, not really. I’m not quite in touch with myself that way.

 

Is anyone fond of programs like Adopt a Tree/Highway/Library/Manatee/Acre of Rainforest/etc?:

 

Adopt a library maybe? I didn’t know they had that. I am adamant about preserving paper books for all though!
