Two chair pads (Dalston E8)
Two chair pads with a botanical-ish print in shades of blue and green, plus accents of brown. They have ties at the back corners, to fasten them to a kitchen chair. There's a thin foam pad between the patterned top and the off-white nonwoven bottom. Clean and in good condition. Nonsmoking, pet-free household.

Tabletop Charcoal Grill (Dalston E8)
Good condition. Somewhat rusty, but a soak and scrub with citric acid solution should fix that. Nuce design: Mesh top, so food doesn't fall through; beneath that, a second mesh for the coals, so they get proper ventilation; beneath that, a solid metal bottom, so sparkx don't fall through to your table. Size is roughly 18" by 10", with sturdy metal legs maybe 3 or 4 inches tall.

A dozen placemats (Dalston E8)
New. Print features two pink lilies, with green leaves, and the words Bon Appetit, all on a white background with a border of feen and black. Best used on a white tablecloth, as the nonwoven fabric is rather thin. The edges are stitched with pink thread. Would be sweet for a spring party.

Leyland matte white emulsion paint (Dalston E8)
Gifted
Maybe 7 or 8 liters remain in this 10-litre bucket. We're changing colours, so we are buying a more-expensive paint that will do the job in fewer coats,

Four brass-tone wall hooks (Dalston E8)
Gifted
Fair condition — each piece has two hooks, having lost their top hooks almost immediately after purchase, but has kept working for another 20 years of coats and totes and handbags and backpacks. Screws included. We're finally replacing them, but they're not dead yet. Great for a hallway, cellar, or shed.

2 cushioned chair pads (Dalston E8)
Gifted
Great condition. Cushion covers are 100% cotton, and reversible, with ribbon ties to attach them to your kitchen chairs. Each cushion cover has a discrete zip at the back, so the polyurethane pad inside can be removed before the cover is washed. Barely used. The cushions are still soft, the covers still look sharp.

Old Pillows (Dalston E8)
Gifted
Standard-sized bed pillows — clean, and from a smoke-free, pet-free home. Not as fluffy as they used to be. Fine for people who prefer firmer pillows or piles of pillows; for a doll bed; or for use in pet beds (with sturdy casings, to reduce the chance of shredding!). Six, I think? I'll count later

30 six-egg paper cartons (E8)

Six-compartment egg cartons, in good condition; 30 in all, of which 1 white, 1 blue, and 29 beige. Their many uses include: ● Great for sorting / organising jewelry or other small bits and bobs. ● Plantable trays for seed-starting. I like to rest them in a tray, then water the tray, to keep them moist. ● Popular crafting supplies. ● Holding eggs! Especially if you have a chicken, but also handy for divvying up those 24-egg flats into manageable lots.
