Miniature Greenhouses (Dow’s Lake)
Update: ok, perhaps too late for seedlings this season, but consider using them to distribute your harvest. *Consider this description as appearing on the back pages of a comic book. These are lightweight, portable, admit light, and have drainage holes. The roofs can open as seedlings get taller. There are about eleven of the medium size, one larger and one smaller. +++The pile has grown! You may have other ideas how to use them. Go right ahead, if you are the lucky claimant. No box tops required!

Silver & Garnet Huggie Earrings (Dow’s Lake area)
These are virtually new (I tried one on). They are made of sterling silver with rhodium and have genuine garnets. The garnets appear lighter or darker with the light conditions. The hoops are about 1cm in diameter, which proved a bit too small for me.

Magnetic Poetry Kit (Dow’s Lake area)
This was an equally thoughtful gift to the magnetic mug q.v. Alas I have not become a magnetic poet. The kit has not been used, but has sat on various shelves for years hoping to be liberated. Is your Muse waiting for such a gift?

Magnetic Poetry Mug (Dow’s Lake area)
This was a thoughtful gift many moons ago. I always thought that there would be a time and place when I would use it. I have not. 😕 Is there someone in your life who would appreciate & use it?

Fiorfiore Pesto (Dow’s Lake area)
I didn’t check and the ingredients had changed from the last time I bought this. It now contains something that I avoid. On the basis of their other products, I imagine that it is still quite tasty.

A Sheaf of Carrier Bags (Dow’s Lake)
2 XL, 9L, 1 Medium & 9 regular size reusable non-woven carrier bags. Only used once. (I have my groceries delivered; no judgment please.) From a non-smoking environment, featuring a cat, so there will very likely be a stray fur or two on the outside, despite having been brushed off. I am aware that food banks can use these. You are most welcome to donate them to one.

surgical hand-scrub fluid (Britannia)
Promised
Small (4 oz) bottle of "chlorhexidine," whatever that is. I bought it for my knee surgery recently – one is ordered to wash all over with the stuff, twice, beforehand – but I kind of skipped that step! It "expires" in mid-2027, so still good for a while. If anyone can use it, let me know.

Love Seat Futon (Old Ottawa South)
Futon with a well cared for hardwood frame converts from a loveseat to a bed. It has served me well, but it's time to let it go. The cotton futon WAS a standard size (50" x 64" x 6") but it is no longer standard. I have two good-quality fabric covers which fit the futon. The frame is a dark green wood and clear varnish. I carefully kept all hardware (need to replace 2 nuts which broke). I took photos of how it was assembled to guide re-assembly. Need a larger car to fit the futon and frame parts. Great for a student or basement.

Spanx undergarment, size M-L (Britannia)
This is now ludicrously too small for me, can anyone else use it? At one point it had longer legs; but I cut them off to crotch height, because they kept rolling up my fat thighs. Relatively unworn – I only used it for special occasions, under a close-fitting dress.
