Picnic blanket (Bloomfield)

Well used, but plenty of life left. Good for picnics or as a garden blanket. Approx 6ft x 5ft, washable, dries quite quickly outside. No holes or stains. I’ve put it through the machine so it’s clean and good to go.

Curtain fabric (Bloomfield)
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.

Sari/fabric length. (Bloomfield)
Promised
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.

Printed fabric length (Bloomfield)
Promised
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?

White cotton curtain lining (Bloomfield)
Promised
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)
Promised
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.

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.

Wooden unicorn ornament (Bloomfield)
Gifted
This has been outside for some years and needs some TLC as you can see from the photos. It could make a nice project to brighten up a garden. No idea what sort of wood it is, but it’s pretty solid and has lasted outside for about 10 years with no treatment at all. There is a minor damage to the top of the horn. It’s about 18/20 ins high.
