Pottery-making set (Old Ottawa south) Gifted Has a bunch of tools, including a spinning wheel (which I haven't had the chance to test since we received this from a neighbour but assume works). The clay has been used, so you'd need to find some to use the set.

Reusable diaper wraps and swimsuit (Old Ottawa south) Gifted Six polyester waterproof exterior wraps with gussets for use with cotton reusable diapers. They're size 2, for babies 9-36 months - you can adjust the size with the array of buttons on the front - see the Thirties website for more details. There are two rubber Snappies for holding the ends of the cloth trifold diapers together under the wrap. Not strictly necessary, but they make it easier to put on the wraps. We used these for both of our kiddos along with a cloth diaper service available in Ottawa that picked up the dirty ones and supplied us with new new clean ones each week. Both boys successfully potty trained before 25 months. There's also an infant sized swim diaper.

Play cube for toddlers (Old Ottawa south) Gifted Has an abacus, a slidey knob track thing, apparently a mini glockenspiel (but I don't think they actually make notes), and a whiteboard, as well as one of those mini dioramas with beads that slide along metal wires on the top. The top piece can be turned upside down and fit inside the box for storage. Roughly one cubic foot in size.

Steel kettle (Old Ottawa south) Gifted Actually worked on our induction top (and would surely work on gas or electric burners), but I have a water boiler here that's sufficient for my needs, so I've decided to free up the shelf space.

Two window screens (Old Ottawa south) Gifted 53 cm wide by 128.5 cm high. Not sure if a common size or not. In good shape, but no longer needed, as the windows in question were replaced with a door. They have little spring-loaded pegs to hold them in place.

Canon Pixma Colour Printer (Old Ottawa south) Withdrawn Model TS3450 Worked last time we tried it with Canon brand ink cartridges, however when we tried to use an off-brand cartridge of the same specs, it came up with an error. We've received another printer for free so are passing this one one to someone with the patience to locate the correct cartridge.

Four dining table chairs (Old Ottawa south) Expired Four sturdy black parson's chairs with a nice dark wood and faux leather, suitable for use with a dining table. The faux leather is worn to lesser and greater degrees depending on the chair. so they'd look nicer with covers of some sort, or at least if you put a cushion on them.

Pull-down cellular blinds (Old Ottawa south) Gifted Three translucent blinds, roughly 23.5" x 48" They mount easily with the included brackets on the underside of the window frame. The blinds are operated by hand - you simply pull them down or push them up to automatically retract. You can also pull down the top to let in light while covering the bottom part of the window. The width can be further cut down with a mitre saw to customize them for your window(s).

Baseboard trim - painted - 12' (Old Ottawa south) Expired Separate flat profile board plus triangular cap. Apparently made of hardwood, but was painted white starting many years ago. I'm giving away a nice long piece of it in the hopes that someone's got similar trim in the neighbourhood and needs to repair or replace a patch. The piece is just an inch and a half shy of 12 feet. This baseboard was used in our Old Ottawa South home and must date back several decades, if not to construction in the 1920s (not sure because there were two kinds of baseboards in the house when we moved in).
