Free: wired white Apple earbuds (Central Square, Cambridge) 5d - I found these yesterday (Weds. April 10) in Cambridge. If you can tell me where you lost them or just want them, contact me. (If you lost them and you can tell me where, you'll have first dibs, though.) I don't know the model number. Request: Brita filter jug (Central Square, Cambridge) Withdrawn 22d - Looking for a regular old Brita filter jug. Free: black hooded floor lamp (Central Square, Cambridge) Gifted 22d - The actual lamp looks similar (not the same) to the one in the photo. The one I have looks a bit more like an anglepoise lamp, and you can lean the front forwards. It also has no copper accenting, only black, with white in the interior of the hood. I have a mild physical disability and no phone, only a laptop, so I have't taken a photo of the real thing. This takes a standard size lightbulb and clicks on and off, without a dimmer switch. You'll have to provide your own bulb. IMPORTANT NOTE I will take down this post once I have given these away! Please do not ask if I still have them, "just to make sure". Also, I won't provide photos.

 Free: rectangular large mirror (Central Square, Cambridge) 24d - Around 36 inches at its widest end by around a foot. (I didn't measure the latter dimension.)

Please do not ask if I still have them, "just to make sure". Also, I won't provide photos. Free: bootleg tarot decks (Central Square, Cambridge) Gifted 24d - I ordered online and received a couple of inferior quality tarot desks that I would now like to dispose of. "Inferior" in this context means smaller than usual, with more faded color printing and no instruction booklets. I have the "Golden Art Nouveau Tarot" and the "Tarot of Magical Correspondences", but, again, not the official versions. IMPORTANT NOTE I will take down this post once I have given these away! Please do not ask if I still have them, "just to make sure". Also, I won't provide photos. Request: blankets and bedding (Central Square, Cambridge) Received 28d - I have occasional houseguests and keep not getting around to getting blankets, etc., for them.
