Free: 3 Vintage Portuguese Canisters (Brightwood-Takoma) Gifted 3 matching, vintage, hand-painted, ceramic canisters from Portugal. Large and medium canisters are both on the larger side. I inherited these when a neighbor was relocating overseas and could not bare to trash them. She said they're from the mid-70s/early 80s. The middle 1 has some crazing on the lid, but still very pretty. I used them as decoration only and for hiding cash! :) Only the small container has a rubber ring seal thingy. The large and middle size containers each need 1 if being used for food. We're planning to move next year and I could use the extra space. These have been atop our China cabinet for the past 6 years or so. They are very pretty and from that height, even the middle 1 looks flawless. Please offer both the date and 1 hour window for your pick up. I'll have them ready for you wrapped in packaging paper and bagged. Location on the map is correct. Thank you.

Free: Portable Massage Table (Brightwood-Takoma) This massage table was used for 6 years for Reiki therapy. I always covered it with a clean sheet. It has served me well but had become too heavy for me to handle myself. I bought a new lightweight table a few years ago. This has been kept folded, inside its case, in our temperature-controlled attic. Includes canvas cover/carrying case. Please view all photos. The faux leather has started to peel a little on a few corners. Comes from a clean, healthy, non-smoking household with 2 short-haired cats. Location on the map is correct. Porch pick up with arranged date and approximate time. If interested, please include date and 1 hour time frame for your pick up. Thank you.

Free: Ninja Coffeemaker (Brightwood-Takoma) Gifted We just bought a new drip coffeemaker and received a Nespresso (from Freecycle). So no longer need this one. Other than the digital display is no longer working, this Ninja 12-Cup Coffeemaker still works fine. From a clean, healthy, non-smoking household with 2 short-haired cats. Ninja Model CE 251 Info: Just hand-washed the carafe, carafe lid, and descaled the machine mid-July 2025. There is a button specifically for cleaning/descaling which makes it very easy to do. Use manufacturer's cleaning solution or make your own with white vinegar and water. I descaled every 2 months because, other than when we were away, made coffee daily. Please indicate date and 1 hour time frame for your pick up to be considered. Location on the map is correct. Thank you.
