LARGE comfy chair (Dow’s Lake) Withdrawn My former lift recliner has ceased lifting and reclining. 😕 I tried replacing the hand control, to no avail. I think that a handy person might be able to replace the non-functional parts, but I have surrendered. When it stopped working the leg rest was slightly extended. It’s still comfortable imo, but I need the reclining function. The seat measures ~ 22” wide, ~19” deep. The height of the back is ~42”. The overall colour is teal-ish, but the fabric actually has a variety of colours in it. Please consider rescuing this chair.

Thin non-woven material (Dow’s Lake) Gifted This is similar, but a bit denser, in texture to row cover for gardening. It was the wrapping for an upholstered chair. I hope it will be useful to someone.

Rigid foam chunks & cardboard (Dow’s Lake) Hoping that there might be some practical use for these bits that came in the packaging of a chair. There are two large pieces of corrugated cardboard, one is thinnish and the other is thicker and more rigid.

Take-away / storage containers (Dow’s Lake) Gifted PLEASE help confirm my decision that it was worthwhile to save this assortment of plastic and aluminum foil containers, all but one (front left) with matching lid. Squeaky clean. Maybe good for packaging holiday season treats, crafts storage, seed starting? I’d prefer that they all go together.

Armani Trouser Suit - Size 12 (Dow’s Lake) Gifted I am sadly accepting that I will not fit into this again in the foreseeable future. Cheery red Georgio Armani Le Collezioni size 12 trouser suit. The jacket is fully lined; the trousers are not. The colour on your screen will vary, but on mine is represented fairly well, possibly a bit brighter than in person. Appropriate measurements of the garment: 30” inseam (a bit of room in the hemsj, 30” waistband, 39/40” chest at underarms, 24” sleeve length from shoulder seam. I can’t find the fabric content label. The texture can be seen on the last image. As shown there are a VERY few tiny snags. I’d be happy for someone who will love it and wear it to have it, or give it to someone they know who will. Please don’t respond if you plan to sell it; rules say that you must declare it if so.

IKEA SMÅSPORRE Twin size duvet (Dow’s Lake) Gifted Twin bed size IKEA Småsporre warm duvet with polyester filling. This duvet is nice and warm and I’m sure will be welcomed by someone who doesn’t mind that it has a tiny hole, currently covered with a patch for down coats. One channel of the stuffing refuses to smooth out, as seen by the lump in the picture. It has been used for less than a year.

Magnolia print dress w/ pockets (Dow’s Lake) Gifted This is called Magnolia Flower Japanese Linen Blend Maxi Dress on the elevenforest.com site. It is listed as size 3XL, but see the size chart image. It is comparable to about two sizes down. It is listed both as mostly cotton, and as linen blend, but it isn’t either unfortunately as that’s what I wanted. No actual fabric content label. It might be a mix of viscose and nylon? It’s brand new. A first washing might remove some fabric sizing and make it softer.
