Request: Orchid potting media (Ballard loyal heights) Urgent need for immediate repotting. We are hosting a free orchid clinic (see earlier posts) and demand and repotting volume has far exceeded my estimates. Would dearly appreciate support for this gift of service project. Bring your orchid and we can repot it on the spot, if supplies willing!

Request: Drainage Pot liners for orchids (Ballard loyal heights) Seeking clear or translucent drainage liners for repotting orchids. We're repotting orchids (for free) for freecycle community (see gift post) and the response has exceeded materials on hand. Needed for immediate use for repotting of community member's orchids. Any size or translucent color pot liner will do, dirty or clean (we can sanitize). Unbroken or nearly unbroken, please. Note that these are NOT the same as black nursery pots. They are clear or translucent for root and drainage inspection and are designed to help moisture evaporate very quickly from the potting bark/substrate. We are a car-free household in NW Ballard. Seeking nearby pickup, or on an arterial bus line, or (if it works for you) dropoff in NW Ballard. Thank you for your support!

Free: Orchid Clinic (Ballard loyal heights) Promised UPDATE: We are full for this service! We are trying to get more substrate for future repotting/care services. Thank you to everyone who shared their love and hope for their orchids, we're working on as many as we can. This is a gift of SERVICE (and possibly planting materials) ORCHID CLINIC - Oct 10 - Nov 10 Do you have an orchid that is doing "sort of okay-ish," but never blooms? Do you have zero clue how to repot an orchid, and no interest in learning a skill you probably won't use again? (See above, why would you cater to your nonblooming ungrateful plant roommates? Why buy all the potting materials for just one or two plants? Why post a request for help in your freecycle community for something you've felt meh about?) We are offering to foster a few orchids back to health and happiness. (One of us works in household assistance, and will be leading the team for this gift clinic.) We have above average expertise as houseplant hobbyists, but we are not in a houseplant business and aren't here to upsell. (It's a normal household-to-household freecycle service gift.) Details: * Potted (preferably with a drainage liner if in a cache/nondraining pot), * Have no infestations (this is a clinic not a hospital). * Arrive to clinic before Oct 15 * Return to you by Nov 10 * Communicate, please. No ghosting! * Photos appreciated! We will happily pick up and drop off for anyone within walking distance of our NW Ballard area. (Farther requesters will need to do their own pickup and drop-off in NW Ballard.) We will do our utmost to care for your plant friend and encourage fresh buds/blooms.That's the whole point of this gift! There are no children or pets at this household. Tools will be sanitized between plants (as a precaution). We will strive to minimize risk and do no harm but we cannot guarantee immediate visible improvement and not all plants in crisis can be rescued (repotting is ALSO a stressor). Photo above is a recent rescue that has bloomed twice in six months. In your reply, please share a snapshot of your plant to help show its size and general condition.

Free: Rolling utility table (Ballard loyal heights) Vintage (1940's?) rolling steel table. For an indoor workshop or art studio, perhaps. It is not rust resistant enough for outdoor living or damp space use. Wheels could use a spritz for squeak, if that bothers you. Curved edges and make it easy to have in an active workspace, both for bumping and endless maneuverability. Potentially a TV tray for a couch lifestyler but the wheels have a little less flow on carpet. 25.5" high. Trolley footprint is 14 x 20". Table surface is 14 x 15". Pick up by mutually confirmed appointment time in NW Ballard (no porch, urban arterial street).

Free: Toaster/Convection Oven (Ballard loyal heights) Gifted XL Black and decker toaster/convection oven. One leg was damaged and repaired (see second photo). We needed a bigger one,.and got this at a local swap, but it's 21" across and that is a half an inch too big for our space. You could put an entire casserole dish in this. Really nice unit with useful and intuitive dials. We have a ridiculously tiny kitchen, and sadly couldn't rearrange enough to keep it, so please bring us joy by being its next home. Coordinated pickup (urban apartment on major street, no porch) Black and Decker model #T03250XS "BLACK+DECKER 8-Slice Extra Wide Convection Toaster Oven, Fits 9"x13" Oven Pans and 12" Pizza, Bake, Toast, Broil, and Keep Warm Functions, Countertop Compact Design with Stainless Steel Finish"

Free: Luxury Coffee Table (Ballard loyal heights) Gifted Glass coffee table with visibly 'hidden' seating for four. Great for gaming or movie events. The cubes are also great ottomans. Easy clean Microfiber In sand (2) and taupe (2). We used it with and without the cube seats. They are plush but keep their shape (this set was $1200 originally). Glass is tempered and double-beveled. Dimensions in photo. Please say if you want only the four rolling seats, happy to split if two parties are interested, otherwise please take all and repost or donate the seats. Glass is heavy, bring a quilt or moving blanket. The table base DOES NOT disassemble, it is all one welded piece and won't fit in a sedan. Truck, SUV, large hatchback, or minivan recommend. No stairs. Easy load, but we will help load if you are disabled.

Free: Cheeky Sequin.Pillow (Ballard) Gifted Naughty phrase printed on reversible gold/white sequins. A great fidget toy that has lost its novelty with us. Casual quality (not very firm, more of a toy/decor than a support pillow). This is a regift of an item we have enjoyed for a little while (was an amusing holiday gift), but it's not really our main temperament/theme. It was fun to reveal or hide letters (e.g. "F*ck Hate"). Since we hadn't changed it from fully gold in a while, I checked, and it's time for its next home. Posting just in time to start gathering dorm decor for students next fall!

Free: Angel candle (Ballard) Gifted Hand painted wax decorative candle. It has a distressed motif like ancient archaeology ruins, and a few tiny scrapes in the journeys that only add to its charm.
