Canopy frame - JUST the frame (Wallingford)
Gifted
This is just the metal frame for a formerly great 10' x 10' Coleman canopy. Enthusiastic fireworks fans in our neighborhood a few years ago doomed the top. It may be possible to buy a replacement top on the web: , or you could throw a tarp over it, or you could grow vines up the legs and have the foliage provide shade, but we chose not to do any of those things. Are you up for the challenge? Contact-free porch pickup in Wallingford.

Hair jewelry (Wallingford)
Gifted
Rather a lot of pretty nice hair jewelry, clips, and other accessories.

I'm taking the shaved head look into old age.
