Fig tree (Bloomfield)
Gifted
Yesterday we wrestled this very pot bound fig tree out of its pot. We’ve wrapped the rootball in plastic but obviously, the sooner it gets replanted the better. it is just starting to sprout. I think it is the variety Brown Marseille, but I can’t be sure as the label is gone. We have had fruit from it we really didn’t have it in the right position. It needs lots of light and sun. It’s about 10 years old and 5 feet high. We have kept it smaller through pruning obviously, it can get lots bigger if you have room for it. It’s heavy, and will need a strong person to transfer it from the wheelbarrow into a large car or van.

Pretty tablecloth (Bloomfield)
Gifted
Heavy cotton tablecloth - white with blue ‘snowflake’ embroidered patterns. Barely used - no tears or stains. With 6 matching napkins. 190cms x 140cms. (This could be just the thing for someone’s Xmas festivities.) Can be collected at anytime from outside our house.

Large red sofa (Bloomfield)
Our big old 4-seater sofa needs to go to make room for a newer, smaller one. It’s dark red, woven fabric, with feather and foam cushions. There is a small hole in one cushion, and wear to one arm. Both could be easily patched with some creative mending. Otherwise in reasonable condition. Dimensions are 255 cms long, 97cms deep and 73 cms wide. Feet come off, and it can be divided into two pieces to make it easier to move. Please note that it needs collecting from the first floor of our house, but access is relatively easy down outside steps. Will need two people though. It needs to go before Christmas, when we’ll be putting it outside to wait for collection.

Mirror in hardwood frame. (Bloomfield)
Gifted
This is a large, heavy mirror. Overall it measures 40cms x 120cms. It has a tropical hardwood frame, which is 10 cm wide all the way round, with two decorative stone rectangles. It can be hung horizontally or vertically. I bought it about 20 years ago and it’s been hanging in the house all the time. The frame is darkened with age, but there was a wall light over one side, which has a lighter patch (see photo) - but the natural colour is the wood quite uneven so I don’t think it really notices much.

Large wicker baskets (Bloomfield)
Expired
There are there are two identical baskets. Happy to let these go separately. Let me know if you only want one. Please check the measurements before you ask for these because they really are quite big for storage baskets. 65cms long x 38cm wide x 25 deep. Very sturdy, with carry handles at each end. I bought them to go on shelves years ago, and have used them lots of times since, but they are still in pretty good condition. Could probably be further spruced up but I’ve hosed off the dust and left them out in the sun to dry so all clean and ready to use.

Another picnic blanket (Bloomfield)
Expired
Well used, but plenty of life left. Great sized large picnic blanket. Approx 11ft x 13ft. Washable, dries quite quickly outside. No holes but there are a couple of small tea/coffee stains that I can’t get out (see photo). I’ve put it through the machine so it’s clean and good to go.

Curtain fabric (Bloomfield)
Expired
This printed fabric was previously made up into curtains. It is clean with no fading. There are six pieces: 2 x 233cm long x 122 cm wide 4 x 130cm long x 122 cm wide I have added photos with a tape measure so that the scale of the pattern is clear and I’ve done my best with the colour. In one of the pictures you can see where the fabric has faded slightly on the hem lines. The measurements do not include these areas but if you needed them the length, there is a bit extra there.

Printed fabric length (Bloomfield)
Gifted
This is a lovely piece of fabric, that my mum will have bought years ago on one of her holidays. It’s 3 m long, 112cms wide with an absolutely amazing printed pattern of large firebirds against a mix of clouds etc on blues, pinks and red. I think it is probably artificial silk eg polyester. It’s lightweight and swishes about wonderfully. It would make a brilliant fabric banner, bed hanging etc. I could be made into clothing, although the scale of the pattern would be a challenge. Possibly a robe but would need lining? I did wonder if it might be a sari length. If you are interested in that, I’d be grateful if you let me know what you think you might do with it?

Sari/fabric length. (Bloomfield)
Gifted
This is a lovely turquoise sari (the pictures make it look quite blue but it’s definitely turquoise). It has an embroidered border all along one length, along one short edge and about a metre of the other length. I do have the underskirt etc if anybody wants to wear it as a sari, but obviously it’s a beautiful piece of fabric anyway. It’s a chiffon, probably polyester or similar. I have always thought that it would make an absolutely lovely bed hanging, for a child or a teenager as the edge is so pretty.

White cotton curtain lining (Bloomfield)
Gifted
Three lengths of white cotton curtain lining: 130cms wide x 120 long 130cms wide x 240 long 148cms wide x 190 long I lengthened some curtains for a friend, and had to remove the original linings which were good quality cotton. We launched, and dried them out outdoors in the sunshine. So the colour is good and there are no obvious marks. The wider piece is a different fabric and even better quality. These would be great for crafting or reusing in curtains. As they’ve been washed, I don’t think they would shrink any more and could probably be safely laundered again if necessary.

D-Mannose 2000mg Powder (Bloomfield)
Gifted
I bought this from Holland and Barrett to try, but it was quickly obvious that it didn’t agree with me. So just a little bit gone from a 90g jar. Obviously removed the powder with a clean spoon, but the jar has been opened and the seal removed. Still in date though and cost around £20 I think.

Unused polycotton(?) fabric (Bloomfield)
Gifted
Just over 8 yards x 36 inch wide lightweight fabric. Almost like a voile, with a pattern of flower springs and dots. Might make nice lightweight curtains or bed hanging. Will probably need lining if it was to be used for clothes though. I think it’s probably polyester/cotton blend, but don’t know for sure. Clean and unused, but in storage for a long time.

Rectangular mirrors (Bloomfield)
Expired
Two bevel edged rectangular mirrors. Rejected from long-ago bathroom installation due to very minor damage to one edge (see photo). Some damage to the backing, but this does not affect the appearance. Can be stuck to the wall or a board with the right (ie mirror) adhesive. See photo for sizes.
