Free: Worry Doll (Harrogate HG1) Gifted Guatemalan or Central/South American worry doll. Traditionally from Guatemala and the surrounding regions , these tiny handmade figures are rooted in Mayan folklore. They are typically crafted using scrap fabric, yarn, thread or wire bound together into a tiny doll, often fitted with a cord or loop so it can be used as a charm or pendant. According to legend, if you are troubled or can't sleep, you tell one worry to the tiny doll before bed and place it under your pillow. By morning, the doll is said to have taken your worry away.

Request: Small Ziplock/Grip Seal/Press Seal Bags (Harrogate HG1) Does anyone have any spare very small ziplock bags, please? They seem to be known by various names, including grip seal bags or press seal bags. I am sorting out a huge family button collection into sets. There are a lot of matching sets, so it is worthwhile. I have run out of little zip-lock bags. I saved a lot from covid testing kits. Three very kind freeglers have helped me out with a lot more, but I've run out again! Thanks in advance.... Ruth

Free: Metal storage drawer (Harrogate HG1) Withdrawn Offering on behalf of a friend. They stored CDs in this. They said the disk cases slotted into the bits you can see in the photo, which kept the disks upright. Perhaps good for some other uses, too. Google Gemini says it's a floppy disk storage drawer....

Offering on behalf of a friend following the clearance of the original family home. I haven't been able to test these. Worth a whirl if you are handy for collection. Not worth a long trek. I am in town, close to Asda.

Free: IKEA mini chest of drawers (Harrogate HG1) Gifted MOPPE mini chest of drawers from Ikea. Width: 42cm Height: 28.5cm Depth: 20.5cm N.B. I have just discovered 5 woodworm holes in the unpainted real timber frame on the back. This will need treating before you take it into your home. I emptied it of my sewing stuff, which I have given away, in order to give the drawers away as well, not having any idea about the infestation!! Apparently this is specifically the vintage or older 6-drawer layout version of the MOPPE unit, according to t'Internet. Very useful for storing office supplies, sewing paraphenalia, craft 'stuff', etc.

Free: Patchwork + Fabric Bits (Harrogate HG1) Gifted A piece of patchwork, begun by one of my sisters, but never completed. Some pieces still have the paper template behind, still to be removed. Tacking is still in - also waiting to be removed. A couple of scraps of fabric which I believe it was the plan to incorporate into the wider design. Anyone out there fancy using this/these perhaps on a cushion cover or bedspread centrepiece, or other?

Free: Curtains - One Pair (Harrogate HG1) Withdrawn Pair of cheerful,100% cotton curtains. One curtain is lined. Maybe the lining project was interrupted - I can't remember! Good quality fabric. Drop: 135cm Width: 168cm Hem: 7cm (a little bit of potential for lengthening them slightly) Pair of matching tie-backs. Laundered but there is a slight, barely detectable mark along part of the very bottom of one curtain. This could be ignored or should come out with a soak, in my view. See photo.

Free: Vintage Cake Pillars (Harrogate HG1) Gifted Brand: 'Art for Eating'. Bought in the 80s or 90s. Made of plaster/gypsum, hand-finished with a marbleised colour wash (according to Google Gemini). They are not washable. The marks on the pillars are probably grease/oil stains absorbed into the porous plaster over time. They shouldn't be used in contact with food but if they were to be used in a cake display, a food-safe layer, e.g. foil-covered cake board or a plastic separator disk) should be placed between the pillar surfaces and the cake itself. Attractive vintage items which could be used in other ways, e.g. photo props, or they could be re-painted and/or sealed for craft projects.
