Welcome to the TSP fanpage, a place where Kara tends to dump her thoughts and her old freebies. It's also a place where TSP fans can stay and maybe plot about the mystery of potions and trade brewing tips.


This page also serves as a place for information you won't find in the main shop. If you've never been to the shop, please check it out using the spoon below.

What is it?

TSP, is a minishop that sells magic themed "item art" specifically we sell mix and match potions with a twist. Unlike normal mix and match shops, you cannot see where each item goes, instead the customer uses "ingredients" provided by the shop as a stand in for an actual item to appear on the potion.

For example, Eyes in a Jar will put eyes somewhere on or in the potion item.

This unusual mix and match system allows for hundreds of variations, as most ingredients will have more than one "pose". In addition, special bottles are made which will "warp" the ingredients further, making for a unique experience.


Who owns TSP?


Kara Winters, who previously owned Tea Time and Whimsical Dreams is both the creator and shop owner. After selling food themed item art for so long, she wanted something that was both food but not food at the same time. So TSP was created from her twisted mind.


How did TSP come about?


Believe it or not, TSP was an excuse to use the banners you see in the TSP shop. The window banners were created to reflect the four seasons, and as the shop grows those banners are to reflect the future seasonal items.

The idea for TSP itself, is because I always have been doing mix and match items, but I wanted to make it more fun. TSP to an extent is also an experiment on being different, it's more about having fun. When people come into the shop, I also want them to have fun with it by discovering new things. Making the mix and match this way, allowed me to do those new things.

Due to popular demand, TSP will post past freebies, and doing so in the fanpage just makes life easier for everyone. However, there is a catch. You see, Kara is a lazy bumper, so to tell people to come in, take the freebie and tell her in the thread is her way of getting a free bump or two. So, it wouldn't be fair to easily put all the past freebies into the thread for people to grab whenever they want. So here's the deal.

All of Kara's freebies are part of a unique set. That set will only be put here, once every single one of those freebies from that set has been released in the shop. So, even though past freebies are here, you might still have to wait a bit.

While most people have figured how I work in the shop, but sometimes my mind can be a bit weird, or down right bizarre depending on who you're talking to. So here are a list of hints and tips, and even to be spoilers.

Don't be afraid to ask me what this ingredient does.

Seriously, despite the fact I love surprises, I know not everyone does. So don't be afraid to ask me, what are the potential side effects of using a particular ingredient.

I come up with very strange associations.

This is in reference to the special bottles, because I need to warp the ingredient to make it different from default bottles, and sometimes (all of the time) the bottles themselves are themed. So, I might come up with something strange like Love in a Jar might produce blood in a Halloween themed bottle. Lovely...

I come up with odd ideas.

I will admit this right off the bat, sometimes my ideas are a bit odd. That's why it's always a good idea to read any special notice attached to a bottle or ingredient, because you don't know what I might be thinking.

I still like food item art.

Yes, this is a spoiler that may or may not happen, I still like food item art. I will find a way to continue to do that in some form or fashion because it amuses me.
