Free: Scrap Books for Re-Use / Upcycling (Harrogate HG1) Scrap Books on offer. These were used by me for my postcard collection as a child/young girl, hence all the annotations (which can have things stuck on top of them!) and photo corners (which can be peeled off). It would be a waste to put these into paper recycling (without the photo corners, of course), when I know they could be re-made into great scrapbooks of whatever kind. Here and there a double centre page has come loose, but of course could be re-attached/taped in - not rocket science ;) A couple of albums have come away from their cover. Ditto. Taker is welcome to choose whichever album or albums they prefer, including all of them if so desired. More photos available. Will send these to anyone who is interested to see more details of any particular scrap book.

Free: Plastic 'storage/tidy/handy' basket (Harrogate HG1) Medium-sized plastic basket. 37.5cm long x 25cm wide (measured across widest parts) Cracked at one end. Does not affect performance! Photos show how cracked bit can be pressed into place and be barely noticeable. If used in a static position, will stay in place. Otherwise, only a small crack :) Surplus to requirements.

Free: Scrap Book For Upcycling (no.4) (Harrogate HG1) Scrap Book (old) (no.4) Dimensions: Height: 36.5cm Width: 24.5cm I started using this as a postcard album when I was growing up, but only filled 1/3 of the pages. The postcards have been removed, but there are still photo corners on 1/3 of the pages (these will come off) and also all the annotations for the postcards which used to be there. All intact. No loose pages. Could be used for an art project, I think, or maybe something else.

Free: Plantstand, hardwood (old) (Harrogate HG1) Gifted Old, hardwood plantstand Requires some tlc. See photos - circular 'shelf' is split and will require some attention before putting a potted plant on it. We had it on an old veranda, so open to the elements but under cover, if you know what I mean. It looked great there with a red geranium plant in it for most of the year.

Free: Polish for Silver (old) (Harrogate HG1) Gifted Goddard's Long Term Silver Foam. Shines intricate silver. Good for jewellery or other silver items. This is old and has dried up/'solidified', presumably because the lid has gone missing. It does not feel rock hard and I should think dampening one of the pieces and/or the sponge would be adequate to be able to make use of this. Surplus to requirements as I have another container of something similar. Worth a try and would save buying some, as long as the taker doesn't need to go much out of the way to collect. Does not come with a guarantee, of course!
