Free: Vertical blinds, 9' wide x 7' high (Parker Ave at Pearl, Aurora) We have a 9-to-10 foot run of standard off-white vinyl vertical blinds with hardware. None of the blinds are broken, and the slider still works; we've just switched over to curtains for our front window. Yours for the taking! Please be aware that these will take up a fair bit of space for hauling; the track from which they hang cannot be broken down.

Free: Several succulent plants (no pots) (Parker Ave at Pearl, Aurora) Gifted I have several succulent plants up for grabs--I don't know all the names, although I do know the large pinkish/purple one is a Perle von Nurnberg echeveria. All seem healthy to me, but I'm ready for them to go on to a new home. There are quite a few little babies I propagated from fallen leaves, which might be good for holiday gifts. The pots are not included, nor are the two air plants in the photo. I'll be watering the succulents tonight, so you shouldn't do that for another two weeks. (By the way, bottled or heavily filtered water is suggested, but you can decide on that. They do need well-draining soil specifically made for succulents or cacti, though, and plenty of light!) If you'll let me know when you're on your way to pick them up, I can take them out of their pots then so the roots won't be exposed for any longer than necessary. Thanks!

Free: Large velour wedge pillow, 25x25x8 (Parker Ave at Pearl, Aurora) Gifted This is a practically-new memory foam wedge pillow meant to help with acid reflux and that sort of thing. You can also stand it up against the headboard for support while you lean back. My husband used it once and didn't care for it, so it's yours for the asking! The cover is a very soft dark gray velour, and it's been kept in a non-smoking home with a non-shedding dog on the premises.

Free: Small red Coleman cooler (Parker Ave at Pearl, Aurora) Gifted This is the size that holds a six-pack and possibly a pack of hot dogs or something, haha. It could use a bit of a cleaning outside thanks to dusty storage, but the interior is fine. I can set it out on the porch for easy pickup.

Free: About 16 quality wooden hangers (Parker Ave at Pearl, Aurora) Gifted These are very sturdy and in good shape; the wood is a dark reddish brown. At least most of the hangers have bars across them for hanging pants or even suits. I can leave them in a box out on the porch for easy pickup.

Free: Old fridge - works, probably scrap (Parker Ave at Pearl, Aurora) Gifted Fridge is already outside the house and ready for pickup. It was left by the previous owners, and they had some sort of keg in the bottom, so there is a hole drilled in the side. If you can patch that, or want to use the fridge for something similar, great! But it is pretty beat up, so we're thinking it's likely scrap.

Free: Eyeshadow (3) (Parker Ave at Pearl, Aurora) Gifted These aren't particularly high-end brands, but they do have some nice shades. (The box that's pictured as open is called "Bubble Nebula" and has a really pretty iridescent package, if that matters to you.) I used a few of the colors once or twice, and I don't have anything infectious, but you can spritz the surfaces with rubbing alcohol if you're concerned about germs. I just thought I'd see if anyone wanted them, before I threw them out!

Free: Three nearly-new eyeshadow palettes (Parker Ave at Pearl, Aurora) Expired Going to any holiday parties? Need to glam up your look? These aren't particularly high-end brands, but they do have some nice colors. I used them once or twice, and I don't have anything infectious, but you can spritz the surfaces with rubbing alcohol if you're concerned about germs. I just thought I'd see if anyone wanted them, before I threw them out!

Free: Several succulents (Parker Ave at Pearl, Aurora) Gifted These poor little guys aren't doing the greatest, so I am finally embracing the fact that I have a black thumb, and letting them go to a new home. The plants will be given to you without a pot, I'm afraid, but there are a few different kinds: One Peruvian "old man" cactus, named because it has what looks like a cloud of white hair growing on it One "Praying Hands" mangave. This and the cactus are both VERY bitey, so be careful! Several echeveria growing from leaves. They're tiny, but cute. Hopefully you can save them! I don't know the cultivar names. Three air plants (tillandsia): one that looks like a little round pom-pom and two that are spiky, but soft One "string of rubies" (othonna capensis) One "ice plant" (corpuscularia lehmannii) One large and one baby "zebra plant" (haworthia fasciata) A tiny bit of "Lime Twister" sedum Please take all. I don't know if they're bonded and need to stay together. Thank you.

Free: Tall black IKEA Billy bookshelf (Parker Ave at Pearl, Aurora) Gifted Very good condition. I had to keep one of the shelves, but I believe you can get replacements at IKEA if you need. The back is (very inexpertly) covered with cream contact paper, but that's because the backer was put on with the dark color facing outward, so I suspect you can carefully remove that and turn it around the way it should be. We'll most likely be leaving it beside the curb if the weather's dry, but I'll pull this post once it's been picked up.

Free: Soaping/crafting fragrance oils (Parker Ave at Pearl, Aurora) Gifted I have about 30 bottles of various sizes, containing fragrances like Dragon's Blood (large full bottle!), pumpkin, apple pie, espresso, musk, a few named fragrances from Nurture Soaps and Bramble Berry, and just a generally eclectic mix of things. They're a couple of years old, but all were subjected to the sniff test and still smell fine; if you're a soaper or like to make things like lotion or bath bombs, they should work great! Pickup near the corner of Parker Avenue and Pearl Street in Aurora. Once a general time is scheduled, please let me know when you're nearby and I'll set the box out on the front porch; I don't want to leave the oils in the heat for too long.
