Request: Magnetic Calendar (Darien) Looking for a melissa and doug magnetic daily calendar. Does not have to have all the pieces, just the numbers. We lost some of ours and apparently it's not a part the manufacturer can replace. I'm in Darien (60561), but we are often near Hinsdale, Woodridge, and Wheaton, and could pick up out that way too. Crossposted. Thank you.

Free: Worn Vivo shoes 9 (Edgewater) woman’s 9-10 (euro 40). these have been well worn and the sole is now very thin. could be interesting if you want to try out barefoot shoes, wear around the garden, or as a fixer upper. the shape makes it hard for a “regular” cobbler to work on, although not impossible. Vivo takes them back to get resoled but charges 120. not worth it for me as I don’t love the fit. Leather upper is still quite nice (could use a waxing) and smells like… leather haha! you could also use the leather to craft something else. I don’t have the tools or the time. Vivo ultimately also takes them back to get recycled (no charge). cheers and stay green!
