Ladybug wings for small child (Wallingford)
Promised
Ladybug wings for small child. I made these for my granddaughter when she was six; they're too small for her now that she's 32. They tie on.

Objects in mirror in picture are not included; they're just there because it's hard to take a picture of a mirror on a porch without showing something reflecting in it.

1959 Nautical chart guide (Wallingford)
Gifted
Nautical chart symbols and abbreviations from 1959. This booklet doesn't contain any actual charts, just all the symbols you would have needed to be able to interpret a nautical chart if you were boating in 1959.

Leaking down comforter (Wallingford)
Gifted
This is an old, old full size down comforter, maybe 30-40 years old. It leaks down and tiny feathers copiously. You should not try to use it as a comforter unless you have really good repair skills, not even inside a duvet, because it will continue to dribble its contents out all over the place. You could use it to stuff something anew. If I haven't utterly discouraged you, please let me know when you'd like to pick it up. Contactless porch pickup in Wallingford.

used yoga mats (Wallingford)
Gifted
These mats are old and well-used, but they can still cushion you from the cold floor while you do your downward dogs, or you could use them as padding under a rug, or in the garage. Your choice!

Dahlia tubers (Wallingford)
Gifted
I dug up and divided my dahlia tubers today. I have grown these red dahlias in bad dirt and lousy locations as well as in good dirt with plenty of sun for more than thirty years. They do better in the good locations, but they bloomed and reproduced in the bad locations also. If you give them good dirt, you'll need to divide them in three or four years; in bad dirt, it will take a little longer.

Lots of seed beads (Wallingford)

Defunct vintage roller skates (Wallingford)
Gifted
Extremely elderly roller skates, no longer functional as skates because the leather uppers are falling apart. Look at the solid undercarriage! These are the kind of skate wheels people used to repurpose to make skateboards, back before you could buy skateboards already assembled. They weigh approximately a ton. Skates were last used to skate around the Microsoft campus late in the last century or maybe very early in this century, before the leather died completely. I'm not mentioning the shoe size because (did I already say this?) these skates are not functional as skates.
