OLD superking quilt (Barlborough S43) Expired Feather and down, issue why we stopped using it is that much of the stitching has gone, so the filling moves to the edges etc. Ideal if you have the time to move it back and stitch up the gaps, or just use folded as a mattress topper for a smaller bed, or insulation, pet bedding etc. Or even unpick the remaining stitching, compost the feathers and use the case which is very good quality cotton, as sheeting/quilt cover. Non smoking no pets home, not laundered but well aired. Quick collection appreciated from near J30/Dobbies.

Vintage doll's pushchair (Barlborough S43) Expired Well worn but great play value. Larger and sturdier than many modern ones, will take quite a big teddy - 70 cm handle height. Folds down. Pale blue metal frame, white wheels with solid tyres, lots of wear to paint and would benefit from rubber on the brake but a rubber band will do. Recline or sit upright position. Fabric seat in denim and floral and velcro [so removable] is what I sewed about 30 years ago as it came without then. Struggling to part with this but only grandchild too old now, so please offer a home where it will really be appreciated! Collect Barlborough.

Small wall/floor tiles, rustic look, good quantity (Barlborough S43) Expired These are 65mm square. Some are unused on mesh backing 5x5tiles, approx 345mm sq per mesh. And the rest are rescued from our old kitchen, some cleaned already by soaking in rainwater which takes all the old cement off. In total enough for about 5metre run of splashback to a good height, at least. They are a gorgeous warm orangey/reddy brownish colour, with darker spots and dark edges. They were expensive due to being thick enough for floor use as well as an interesting rustic look. Please think carefully if they are really what you want, as some of them would need to be fetched from elsewhere, so not available immediately. Welcome to come and have a look if interested to see if they are what you want. Barlborough S43 4WB
