Clothes, a mug, magnets, a plush Snoopy wearing a flight suit? Hubs (Tee? mug? book of cool photos?) & youngest daughter (plushies, books, anything astronaut or planet related) LOVE space stuff.

Awesome farmer's market by my house. They have a local honey stand mmmmmm honey! Candles, creams, etc also sound fun!

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
I like "The Reader" - a full sized print probably would end up languishing so perhaps a bag/case or a card sized picture.

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 to have a Froud (Brian & Wendy) style "faerie" room with wild, exquisite creatures hiding all over the place and natural, wood/forest type colors & furniture.

Aprons: Do you wear them, do you want one? Utility, decorative, cooking or crafting? Not so much

Would you be open to previously-loved books? YES

What about partial-full bottles of BPAL or BPTP? YES

So what are your favorite fandoms? Look at my list of favorite TV shows/movies/books from the Q'aire & that should pretty much cover it. Amazon list & thinkgeek lists will, as well.

Here's a few questions from me: Would you like some Halloween or other themed decor in the form of a banner, something like this http://www.etsy.com/...n-decor-vintage? If so, would you prefer a traditional style or a vertical door type? So cute! I could work with either style and BTW - Bats and owls (but esp bats) are my favorite Halloweenish animals.

YES! Any cool/unique ingrediants you think I might like are cool. Also, my nut grinder JUST BROKE! **cue copious tears** I add almonds, walnuts & other stuff to meals at least once a day, and this one was so nice with measurements on the glass & totally machine washable.
I'm at Ocean City MD for bike week......awwww, that's one of my best friend's favorite places!

9/13/17

Are you a gamer? Nope

How do you feel about the following scarf options (assuming you're into scarves)? Uhm, I love them all? WASHABLE is very important for my life with kids! And soft soft soft on the neck. The leafy one especially catches my eye, because it's the sort of thing I have yet to find the time to make for myself. Next favorite is probably the chevron.

Like beer? Like booze? Like Wine? My current favorites are Angry Orchard Hard Cider (especially the cinnamon one!) and mead (especially Brother's Drake, which is local. But I'm up for trying new brands.)

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!
Those look really cool! I don't know how often I would wear one, but I love it & would totally find a way to make it work. Blues, purples, burgandies & wines are my favorite colors & my hair is usually medium in length.

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 love watching something spooky for Halloween, but am the only one in my family who does. There are a few things on my amazon list. (Best of Celebrity Ghost Stories, Paranormal 5, The Haunting of Hill House *book*, B&W The Haunting, and a number of ghost/paranormal themed books)


9/12/17

Here's a great local soapmaker I love--y'all see anything you would like? https://littleseedfarm.com/
Maybe a Lavender body oil or lip salve, or a wooden soap dish
What are your favorite/preferred Halloween/autumn icons/images? Any to specifically stay away from?

Do you eat candy, and if so would Halloween candy be welcome? Specialty candy from local or unusual sources? Chocolate?
Dark chocolate - esp 70-85% cacoa. Plain or mixed with nuts, coconut, sea salt, or a variety of other things.
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?
If it's a fandom I love - like I have an action figure of Wolverine that sits among my books.
Any zentangle lovers, ?
I probably wouldn't find time to do it myself, but it looks lovely
Any love of hair toys, clips, ribbons, fascinators, mini hats, etc?
If you think it goes with a theme, interest or favorite color scheme of mine AND if it is comfortable & easy to use.
What local goodies may be of interest? Local Honey, jams,candy?
All those sound good! drinks that have flavors I mention liking, local crafters or artists, anything that you think I might like!
Are you interested in any prescription services like serial magazines, Birch box, ipsy?
I might be interested in one of those box things - something with make-up, nice smelly stuff, or crafting supplies. I have a couple of magazines & yarn/craft clubs mentioned on my amazon list.
Would you like funky Halloweenie costume makeup like Gothic eyelashes, nail effects, black lipstick, etc.?
My older daughter seems to like dramatic & magical costumes, and all we have is the very basic, cheap, 4 color face paint kit. Something a slightly higher quality, maybe? OR - for me - a way to wear a gorgeous mask WITH GLASSES. I am half blind w/o my glasses, but no longer have any contact lenses to wear on special occasions (like using my fabulous glamorous mystery masks)
How do you like to listen to music? CD, 8 track tape, mix tape, Pandora or Spotify, I-tunes?
CD, a local NPR station, and Spotify
Do you prefer reading on Kindle or actual book? What kind of books do you like? Would you like to be surprised with a scary, classic, horror book?
Either, although I will say romance/erotica is best on kindle (unless both cover and title won't cause uncomfortable questions from my kids) and cookbooks HAVE to be actual book. There are many books on my amazon wishlist & I do like some horror - although I can't handle anything bad happening to kids (since I had mine) and I prefer more psychology (and/or paranormal) scares and not much gore.
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?
I have a wax tart burner/warmer and a scent (oil) warmer. Guy Fawkes (by paintbox soapworks) is my all time favorite fall scent, although I tend to like anything with apple or chai type scents.
Witchee: are you interested in crafting materials?
I love yarn. And books about crochet, knitting, or sewing projects. And pretty, colored, wooden crochet hooks & knitting needles. I may collect these things. It MIGHT be possible that in some people's estimations I already have too many of these things, but if you ever suggest to anyone that I may have entertained a thought about having too much yarn (etc) I will staunchly deny it. Especially super thick, bulky yarns that are soft and machine washable OR handmade art yarns Or geek-themed yarns and yarn markers . . . . . . .


9/11/17

I'm in Japan, is there anything specific from here you would want?
I have no idea. Except for things like kimonos which would be way too expensive and I'd stare at far more than I'd ever wear.
How do you feel about nail wraps?
I have no nails. I bite them too much.
if you were to receive something hand knit, what type of item would you like? hat, cowl, handwarmers, etc. and what color(s)? - would you use knitted washcloths? a scarf? Are you allergic or sensitive to any fibers?
Hand warmers, hat, wash cloth - anything you see on any of my wishlists & you'd like to make your own version. No allergies.
If you could be ANY character from a film, TV show or book, who would it be and why?
River Song from Doctor Who. She's smart, sassy, can totally kick ass, handles the Tardis even better than the Doctor himself, and I WANT HER HAIR!
If you could hop into a time machine and travel anywhere/anytime, where would it be and why?

If you could invite 3 famous people to a BPAL meet and sniff, who would invite?

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
Her stuff is so beautiful!
Would you like something hand sewn by your Witch? A dress, shirt, skirt, infinity scarf, something else?
AN infinity scarf is probably easiest to get the size right. I love all sorts of handmade stuff, though
Anyone want any kind of costuming accessories or makeup or odds and ends? I can't decide what to be. I might use last year's Wonder Woman costume, or do something with my blue cloak, but the big thing would be figuring out how to wear one of my masks without killing myself because the world has gone completely fuzzy without my glasses.

9/10/17

Are there any hobbies or crafts you've been thinking of trying, but haven't had the chance yet? I struggle to find time for the ones I have now

Would you want to receive a custom spell kit or magical tea? If so, what purpose would you want it to be for?
Maybe tea - for peace, wisdom, or strength

Yes, although I don't manage to sit and read poetry books very often anymore.
Anyone like handmade critters, stuffed animals, or custom repaints? LOVE IT! Any of my favorite animals or fandoms/TV/Movie/book characters mentioned would be so cool.

9/7/17

Are you interested in anything from the Moonalisa Halloween update? If you are making an order and see something you think I might like, sure.

What are your coffee and/or tea preferences? Love the smell of coffee, not so much into the taste. Tea, on the other hand!
black, green, herbal, flavors? Yes I drink more green and oolong that anything else, but herbals, black, matcha, etc are all good, too. as for flavors - CHAI, chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, among others - Loose leaf or tea bags? Either. I use tea bags more than loose leaf, but I have the equipment for both. - Anything specific you don't like? Strangely enough, as much as I like apple pie and orange & spice type flavors elsewhere, Something about apple/orange in tea has a weird after taste that I do not like. - Are you in need of any gadgetry? Need? No. However there are a few things on my amazon list that I might like.

9/6/17

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? OOOOOOOO! Either of the boxes would be awesome!
Who is into K-Beauty (Korean beauty products like sheet masks)
- What are your faves if you are?
- If you aren't would you like to try something? No clue what this is. Anything that might help with complexion issues I would be interested in trying.

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... I've lost almost 15 pounds over the past 12 months from limiting gluten, dairy & preservatives/chemicals, etc and eating way more veggies than I ever use to eat. I don't stick to it religiously, I let myself have the occasional cake, ice cream, pizza, etc. I keep getting cookbooks from the library to help me find new recipes to try. You'll find some of those on my amazon wishlist.

9/5/17

What are your feelings about Scooby Doo? ehn. I enjoyed it for many years as a kid - so if something from the original Hannah Barbara cartoons is mashed up with (or references) something else I'm into that could be cool, but otherwise, not so much.

How do you feel about indie makeup (read: loose eyeshadow, blush, highlighter)? If you are a makeup guru (or semi guru) and have something you think would be good for me OR if you or someone you know makes/helps to make it.

I drink this stuff almost everyday would anyone else be interested in trying it out? I've been interested in this stuff for ages, but have yet to try it. Can you brew it in one of these : http://www.teavana.com/us/en/teaware/teavana-perfectea-makers/blue-and-green-teavana-perfectea-maker%3A-16-oz-011071707.html?navid=search&start=1

9/4/17

Would you like one of the Halloween Teeturtle shirts?

It could be fun to have a Halloween shirt. Spellbound (with the books & the "Happy Place" quote), Batty For You, Howl at the Moon, Murder of crows, or candy corn are all cool/cute
