Down pillows (NW DC — 20011)
Two down pillows — recently washed and dried/freshened in sun, but they probably need another round of this treatment OR some more elaborate refurbishing to get the feathers back to original shape.

Buggy board for stroller (Petworth/ Park View)
Neighbors put this out with a sign saying that it works on most strollers. It seems very sturdy. Has been washed by me.

Cuisinart ice cream maker (Petworth/ Park View)
Works fine as far as I can tell. It doesn’t have to do much, just rotate. It’s missing the freezable bowl, but you can easily buy a replacement on ebay for about $20. It’s from the “Ice-20” series of machines, so search for “Cuisinart ice cream maker ice-20 bowl” to see the options.

Misc. tennis stuff (Petworth/ Park View)
Not a tennis player myself, so I can’t tell if these accoutrements are in useable condition. The ball caddy had two long handles but they were severely damaged and I threw them out.

Hand-sewn Barbie 2-pc swimsuit (Petworth/ Park View)
What was I thinking? Upon request I altered a one-piece swimsuit into a two-piece swimsuit. Three pieces of elastic were added, so the suit will not fall off Barbie. Now Barbie is boring. such are the fruits of time. However, another child may glean the benefit of my painstaking labors.

2 pine pentagonal corner shelves (Petworth/ Park View)
Shelves have been polyurethaned Edges measure 9.5” and 5.5” Depth from back corner to middle of opposite side is 10.5” Brackets are intended for wall mounting I will remove the screws from the brackets before giving them to you. I can explain how to mount the brackets if it’s not clear to you.

Great child-proof lock system (Petworth/ Park View)
Works with a strong magnet, so it’s easy to get duplicate “keys”. One key is included. This lock system works fantastically. You can even set individual locks “on the latch”, i.e., temporarily unlocked and prevented from locking. The only downside is that you have to drill holes in the doors or drawers where you place the locks.

Free:
Hard plastic “wobble wedges” (Petworth/ Park View)
Use these instead of folded up paper under wobbly furniture. Actually I haven’t found them particularly useful. Maybe they need to be combined with something sticky or rubbery to prevent slipping out of place.

Lamp kit WITHOUT lampshade (Petworth/ Park View)
Unfortunately the star-shaped lampshade got torn many years ago. Buy a new lampshade or create your own for this versatile kit. Use with an incandescent bulb over 40 watts may scorch paper lampshades or even set them on fire! LED bulbs are probably better. Plastic lampshades might melt, scorch or ignite at even lower temperatures, so be careful with creative upcycling.

Pair of kids’ walkie-talkies (Petworth/ Park View)
Each uses one 9-volt battery. Both still work, despite battered appearance. Some buttons are fake. The antenna covers have had holes chewed in them by a cat, but you could cut off those bits or remove the covers altogether.
