Confession:

I am an apple nerd. I’m very particular about how I like my apples, and whenever there’s a new variety in the store, I have to try it.

Last week’s fave: the Sweetango apple. Crisp, sweet, and tangy without being as acidic as a granny smith. Flesh is reminiscent of the Honeycrisp when it first came out, and somewhat starchy. Its aesthetically pleasing, with vivid candy apple reds and yellows and when pressed, the flesh is unyielding and it snaps when you flick it. Perfect apple, honestly.

This week’s new variety: the Sonya apple. Long in the vein of a pearmain apple, nice snap, haven’t yet tasted it. I’ll let you know.

Updated Trade Post (trades closed)

UPDATE: Since very few people have gotten back to me, I’m putting the items that had offers back up for grabs (people with previous offers are encouraged to contact me; you will have first priority)

What I have:

  • (Gone) Mini tarot deck
  • dried rose petals
  • miniature glass scrying ball
  • (On Hold for someone) Brown scrap leather and a length of leather lacing
  • patterned papers and art supplies up the wazoo
  • green and blue dichroic glass earrings/ a few little pentacles
  • tealights, so many tealights (regular, tangerine scented, and battery powered)
  • Pillar e-candle, maybe 5 inches tall
  • (gone) Small baggie of lavender bath salts
  • (gone) Music box with doe and stag figures
  • (Gone) the tip of a squirrel tail
  • () Small handmade leather drawstring bag with rabbit and celtic knot pattern
  • (gone) small metal and glass chalice
  • Black salt (standard blend and my “motherfucker” blend)
  • vodka preserved chicken hearts (though not sure about shipping them? perhaps a pickup only item?)
  • (gone) A small ribbon wrapped driftwood wand
  • (gone) a ceramic bone
  • (gone) Black dragon candle holder
  • (GONE) Golden incense holder
  • (gone) Wooden box with snake shaped metal handle
  • (Gone) purple and silver plastic dragon figure with matching hatchlings

  • Some dark purple velvet (cut from a dress)
  • (Gone) A rather expensive green cotton hooded cloak with black celtic patterns
    (It’s super nice and my baby but I don’t use it enough to justify
    keeping it)
  • Three Renaissance dresses, all velvet, one red two green (american size 10-12)
  • (offer made) Candlemaking supplies (a few beeswax sheets and some wick)

What I’m looking for:

  • Bones, teeth, claws, fur, and related (not coyote or opossum)
  • Flying ointment
  • Rusty nails
  • things related to Artemis and Hermes
  • Rabbit, bear, and deer things
  • Lycopodium powder and other fire powders
  • Your homemade witchy recipes/blends/sprays/ect
  • Witchy accessories
  • Make me an offer!

Please
take this stuff off my hands- there’s a lot of stuff like the black
salt that I’d rather get into the hands of other witches rather than
having to throw it away! If you don’t have anything to trade, I’d be
willing to trade for gift cards or sell it  cheaply to you, or whatever
we can work out.

Thanks guys, you’ve been great!
