Magnolia print dress w/ pockets (Dow’s Lake)
Gifted
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.

IKEA SMÅSPORRE Twin size duvet (Dow’s Lake)
Gifted
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.
