Gooseberry bush (Slinfold RH13)

Free:
Roller blind (Slinfold RH13)
Gifted
Navy roller blind with gold stars stenciled along the bottom, with brackets. A bit dusty and a bit faded on the back and towards the bottom. It isn't a blackout blind but blocks out most of the light. The maximum drop is about 168cm. The actual blind width is 139cm but with the roller and brackets would fit a recess up to about 143cm wide - but it can easily be made narrower by cutting the fabric and roller. The brackets suit mounting either inside or outside the recess.

Christmas card fronts for crafting (Slinfold RH13)
Expired
Now is the time to start your homemade Christmas stationery! I have a pile of assorted used greetings cards (mostly Christmas), front part only - I have cut off the greeting half that's been written on. May be useful for crafting your own Christmas cards, gift-tags, tokens, etc. Here's an idea for sustainability: if making your own cards, attach a small sheet of paper on the inside with a paperclip, on which to write your greeting, etc. Encourage the recipient to re-use the card next year in likewise manner. Everyone saves money, the planet saves trees.

Navy roller blind (Slinfold RH13)
Expired
Navy roller blind with a row of gold stars stencilled along the bottom. Brackets included. Can be fitted inside or outside recess. Controlled by a cord. Not a blackout blind, but does a good job of cutting out most of the light/sun. Several years old, a bit dusty and faded along the bottom as you can see in the photo. Width 139cm (to fit recess 143cm), max length/height 168cm. If you don't need the full length, you could cut off the bottom (faded/starry) section and sew a new hem for the bottom bar. The width can also be reduced by cutting. Please let me know when you can collect. I can leave it outside if necessary.
