IKEA SMÅSPORRE Twin size duvet (Dow’s Lake) Gifted 34d - Twin bed size IKEA Småsporre warm duvet with polyester filling. This duvet is nice and warm and I’m sure will be welcomed by someone who doesn’t mind that it has a tiny hole, currently covered with a patch for down coats. One channel of the stuffing refuses to smooth out, as seen by the lump in the picture. It has been used for less than a year.

Depending on the light it can seem off-white, silvery, or ivory with darker accents. It is roughly 4.5 cm / 1.5 in at its widest and about 138 cm / 54.5 in long. It is in very good condition.

Magnolia print dress w/ pockets (Dow’s Lake) Gifted 60d - This is called Magnolia Flower Japanese Linen Blend Maxi Dress on the elevenforest.com site. It is listed as size 3XL, but see the size chart image. It is comparable to about two sizes down. It is listed both as mostly cotton, and as linen blend, but it isn’t either unfortunately as that’s what I wanted. No actual fabric content label. It might be a mix of viscose and nylon? It’s brand new. A first washing might remove some fabric sizing and make it softer.
