Crafting materials, felt tips, cards, notebooks and more (Portslade by Sea BN3)
An assortment of crafting materials, set of felt tips, some ink pads and a little set of alphabet blocks, a scrapbook, some notebooks, some Xmas cards, other envelopes, a perpetual birthday calendar and some useful pouches. Haven't tested the felt tips but think they all work or the ink pads, but they are quite new ... a bit of a mix but could be useful for Xmas projects ...

Ikea Billy bookcase 80 x 105cms (Portslade by Sea BN3)
Gifted
White Ikea Billy bookcase with two removable / adjustable shelves. Only a couple of years old and no chips or scrapes, but the back panel was fixed on wrong way round (it should be showing white) and not very well at the bottom so now slipped down slightly which affects stability ... it needs repositioning and firmly retacking. The previous tacking spots having slightly torn. And the bottom panel needs repairing from the back as it has been torn by moving roughly when full. Otherwise it is fine (!). Needs a little tlc from someone good with Ikea furniture ...

Gifted
Blue portable Weber barbecue of the type that uses charcoal. Well used and a bit dusty, even slightly rusty in places so needs good clean up. Complete with grill, funnel tool to get the briquettes glowing, and large case of very large barbecue tools. Moving so it needs a good home ... the wheels have a tendency to come off but could probably be properly reattached.

two standard lamps (North Road)
Gifted
two standard lamps, neither new but both still working though one of the sprays on the right hand one needs a new bulb. (I don't have any spares to include but have in the past I think got on Amazon, and I guess maybe obtainable in one of those wonderful shops in the covered market.) The little glass covers need a clean too. The tallest, on the left, stands at 176cms. Both have heavy silver coloured metal bases. The right one has a dimmer slider switch. Great if both were to be picked up together but not a deal breaker!

outdoor summer table and two chairs (North Road)
Gifted
not a set ... chairs last year from Ikea and practically as new. The table is glass topped with silvery metal frame and legs. Top approx 68cms x 68cms. Please note though table not as smart as it looks in the photo though it could be with a little tlc. About ten years old and well used, expensive and basically good quality from John Lewis but there is now quite a bit of surface rust on the top of the legs and underneath, needs a scrub and I guess a light sand and oil. Clear varnish slightly peeling around the top edge too. But with a bit of work it is a great table, been well used, steady and a good size.

small glass top table and silver coloured lamp (North Road)
Gifted
Table is wicker and metal with glass top which can be lifted up for cleaning ... glass top approx 40 x 40cms and table height 55cms. Good condition. Lamp is silver coloured metal finish but not v heavy so probably not solid metal, good condition, clean silk top lampshade 64cms from base to top of shade. Great if an interested freegler likes both but they do not have to be picked up together.

Small low bow legged chair (North Road)
Gifted
picked up in a vintage type shop and re-covered and re-upholstered and polished up by a professional who usually did theatre work when the entertainment venues were shut ... fabric on seat slightly pulled in places by cat claws but more pulled threads than anything. Seat top 44cms from ground, seat roughly 42 x 42 cos, back cms from seat. Not sure how old it is but possibly vintage.

pair of vintage chairs ... (North Road)
Gifted
pair vintage chairs, possibly 70 ish years old, maybe walnut with upholstered seats. They were re-covered about seven or eight years ago but in quite pale blue/grey wool fabric and one shows a faint small stain. Seat is 45cms at the front narrowing to 30 cos at the back. Chair back height about 88cms to the top. They are older, and pretty but wood needs a bit of tic, slightly faded at the back (sun I think) and they aren't robust enough for lots of tough use (so for instance not as dining chairs).
