Dear fabulous future Celebrant(?); are there any things that you used to love to have for your holidays/this time of year that you can't get where you are now?

 

Graeter’s eggnog ice cream

----

Where can I find your Q&A? Do you have a wishlist post/blog and does it link other things like Etsy/Amazon?

 

They’re all in my sig and the stupid amount of questions from SW are on my blog.

-----

Yules- there were only 4 that interested me – Mother Shub’s Cthulhustollen, Sweet Lavinia’s Risalamonde, Knecht Ruprecht, and The Shivering Boy. i think I’d hurt someone for a bottle of The Shivering Boy. I’ve been waiting for Beth to redo it…

----

So, if you were to come into an unexpected windfall (a huge amount of cash), what would you get for yourself?

 

The Hunter dress from Ravenswood Leather in the dove grey.

---

Do you prefer votives, tarts, tapers or jar candles (if you are into candles)?

 

Jar candles. They’re easier to keep from being knocked over, etc. by a 5 year old and a cat.

----

Any books you've been meaning to get for yourself but haven't yet?

 

ALL OF THEM. No, seriously – just about anything on my amazon wishlist. I keep meaning to get myself a copy of the Oxford Book of Gothic Tales but I never do…

----

Is there any Bath etailer that you want to try? That you love? What do you want from there? What's your favorite bath item?

 

Love to try some of the Haunt stuff – Cask lust (!), Salem series, The Collector’s Cabinet, Cloak, Winchester (!), Rising(!), Burying Tree, Watcher(!). soaps or scrubs would be awesome.

 

Villainess – want to try: Discord and Just Right, and I love Birth Rite, Trauma, Blood, Jade, Ginger Snapped, and Jai Mahal, soap or smooch.

Lush – Caca Rouge henna, Glogg shower gel. Want to try: Soak and Float, New! Shampoo bars.

----

Would you want something included for your pets? If so, is there anything they really like?

 

The cat would just look at anything included for him with disdain and then try to unravel my knitting.

---

Tea? Hot cider? Other Hot beverages?

 

Tea and cider both. I don’t do coffee, usually, and roohiboos(sp?) is foul.

---

Recipe in a Jar; soups, cookies, etc?

 

soups, maybe. Cookies, no. I like to bake – I’ll make my own.

----

Do you have any fiber allergies? Nope. I can’t stand scratchy yarn, though.

What colors do you like? (Pictures would be helpful!)

 

purple, cobalt blue (TARDIS blue), ruby, pumpkin, greys, black. Fall or Winter colors. In reference to yarn, Lion Brand Homespun colorways Amethyst, Edwardian, Gothic, and Autumn are faves.

what color of nail polish would brighten your senses or make you smile? Glitter or no?

 

purples, reds, blues, bronze/copper/silver metallics. No glitter, though. I like glossy, not matte.

---

Socks? short? long? fuzzy?

 

Yay socks! As long as they fit my big ass feet, that is. Not big on fuzzy socks but I’m about to *beg* someone to make me a pair of handknits.

----

Jewelry? Pierced Ears? Do you like necklaces/pendants? Bracelets? Rings?

 

My ears are a 00ga. Double flare plugs in natural materials only – allergies suck. I generally don’t wear rings, bracelets are kind of hit or miss, but I’ll always wear necklaces. I like choker length or the very long drop necklaces that hit between the boobs.

----

Anything you're particularly wanting from the Lab/Post at the moment? How about GCs you keep meaning to get but never get around to?

 

I neeeeed some more Honey or Fig and White Sandalwood hair gloss… GCs – Lady Death: Savage, Goblin, Imp, Poisoned Apple, Depraved, Brown Jenkin, Mag Mell.

----

Do you have any fandoms?

Another question! How do people feel about puzzles? Board games? Any particular ones that you might like or have and would like additions to?
