Hey, Witchee, it's getting cold. Socks, scarves, hats or arm warmers? Scarves, perhaps. Not socks or hats (I hate hat hair, and most hats are too small for me, anyway). Arm warmers, maybe. The main catch is that I live in a warm climate.

 

Halloween Candy, Decorations, and Costume supplies - What kind are your idea of FUN and which ones would you thoroughly dislike? Fun ones that I already bought from Pottery Barn (just to give you a sense of what I like): stuffed crow, mercury glass pumpkins. I've also seen some Jim Shore witch figurines in past years that I've liked. Dislike: anything bloody, macabre, just plain scary, skeletons – i.e., the dark side of Halloween.

 

WHAT traditions to you partake in for Halloween? Knowing what you do our how you decorate or how you celebrate? I really don't do anything for Halloween.

 

Are you a fan of anything that you would like a t-shirt of? If so, what size would you wear? No, not really, and I already have more t-shirts than I can reasonably wear. But if you come across something absolutely perfect, it needs to have about a 48- to 50-inch chest. That generally translates to a Men's L or XL, or a Ladies' XXL (or higher).

 

Do you love, hate, or are indifferent to.....pumpkin flavored things? Mostly indifferent. But if you come across some of the Pumpkin Spice M&Ms I'd be interested in trying them. My local Target only had a shelf tag left by the time I looked for them there.

 

Dear 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 took care of myself pretty well – any of the ones that I really want have been ordered.

 

Name some DVDs you wouldn't mind receiving, or are they on an Amazon list? Every so often I contemplate buying a copy of Queen Kelly (the movie is from the early 1930s). Most of the ones I mentioned on question lists from earlier swaps have been acquired, so do not rely on those blog posts.

 

Do you want anything from Starbucks or Teavana? Tea, tea makers, rock sugar, tea tins, coffee, via, via refreshers, mugs, Tazo tea...? I don't have any particular wants, but would be open to teas and tea accessories. I'm more likely to make tea than coffee, not that I don't like coffee.

 

If you were my witchee, would you be interested in anything from my store or something similar? (Nut-made by LisaNut on etsy.) Not particularly.

 

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. Yes, I might be interested in such things (maybe not the Tarot cards since I already have so many decks). The only caveat is that I'm really picky about the physical condition of my books.

 

Witchee, the Haunt Halloween update goes live tomorrow! When it does, please post right away and let me know your dreams and wishes! I placed my Haunt order very soon after the update went up (and she's sold out of virtually everything now).

 

I've got some canned goods put up -- mostly jams/jellies, some apple butter, some applesauce. Want some? If so, what kind(s)? Maybe – mostly if it's something I don't have to eat all of it right away once I open the jar. Jams or jellies might be good. No canned string beans, please.

 

How feel you about lip balms, glosses, and lipsticks? Any particular favourite scents/flavours? Any favourite makers/sellers? I use lip balms all the time, but I have a good stash already – and they don't keep forever and ever. Mostly I use Haunt lip lusts, but also some of the other indie houses.

 

Since wishlist links never seem to work in forum mail, won't you please re-post your wishlist links here, so they're readable? Since I'm so bad about having public wishlists (or even a BPAL wishlist on the forum), this doesn't apply to me.

 

Table Games - do you play them? Nope, no-one to play with. If so, which ones, and which versions, and are there any goodies you might like related to them?

Witchee, are you in need of any particular spices? I kinda took care of my immediate needs when I made a trip to Penzey's to get stuff for my witchee last SW round. But I might be interested in regional spice mixes or similar.

 

Are 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? No, thank you, I don't have any projects in progress at the moment, and no time to do crafting now anyway.

 

What do you think of hair sticks? Would you like a set? I think hair sticks look wonderful in other people's hair. My hair is short and fine, so it wouldn't hold hair sticks even if it didn't seem to spit out all hair ornaments on general principles.

 

Is there anything you'd really like to have/try from Trader Joe's, or any other popular-but-not-available-everywhere store? I always like to shop at Trader Joe's when I'm near one, but that's a rare enough occasion that I don't have a list of things that I'm craving.

 

Would you rather have something fun or practical? Either one could be very nice.

 

Witchee, would you like a set of Cards Against Humanity? No, thank you.

 

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? Yes! I mostly like things in the Medium range, but a mild but very flavorful spice might be nice. I can sometimes tolerate really spicy-hot foods, but it has to have some flavor to it. I don't like things that are hot just for the sake of being hot (I feel no compulsion to prove how macho I am).

 

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? The Spoonfudge site looked interesting. And I'm usually interested in caramels.

 

Also - Double checking everyone's baked goods status. Home-made baked goods or other food stuffs OK? Yes, as long as it travels well – it's still pretty warm here.

 

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 wear earrings. I usually wear my necklaces about 18 inches long. If it's on a chain (as opposed to ribbon or leather), I would probably prefer just a pendant. I sometimes react to sterling silver chains (never mind base metal chains with nickel!), so I put sterling pendants on white gold chains. Copper or bronze might work OK, though.

 

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? I like abstracts, as long as they aren't too angular/pointy. I also like landscapes & seascapes. Figural paintings could be problematic, and too cutesy (darling puppies & kittens, etc.) might not be what I'd want for long-term display. And of course nothing gory, scary, macabre, overtly sexual, etc. I'm afraid my tastes are not that adventurous.

 

Is there anything you'd like from Lush, witchee? I've never really found anything at Lush that I have to have.

 

Travel/Not-at-Home? I don't have any travel planned during this round. And if something does come up, I usually have a neighbor keep an eye out for any deliveries to my front porch (and deliveries to my post office box will be held there).

 

Is there anything in the Miskatonic Valley Philharmonic update that you're interested in? I haven't had a chance to really study the listings, but nothing jumped out at me on my first skim-through.

 

Is there anything the Prancing Pony etsy shop that you're interested in? No, thank you.
