Bow Stencil (Dow’s Lake area) The season for bows is coming up. The package of this stencil is partly open, but it is an unused salesman’s sample. Though it’s labelled for bronzing and leafing, I imagine it would have other uses.

Chickadee Rub-on Decal (Dow’s Lake area) Fancy fancying-up your bird feeder, seasonal decorations, or…? This is old, but unused. I don’t think that its age should affect its performance, but no guarantees.

Miniature Greenhouses (Dow’s Lake) Update: ok, perhaps too late for seedlings this season, but consider using them to distribute your harvest. *Consider this description as appearing on the back pages of a comic book. These are lightweight, portable, admit light, and have drainage holes. The roofs can open as seedlings get taller. There are about eleven of the medium size, one larger and one smaller. +++The pile has grown! You may have other ideas how to use them. Go right ahead, if you are the lucky claimant. No box tops required!

Silver & Garnet Huggie Earrings (Dow’s Lake area) Gifted These are virtually new (I tried one on). They are made of sterling silver with rhodium and have genuine garnets. The garnets appear lighter or darker with the light conditions. The hoops are about 1cm in diameter, which proved a bit too small for me.

Magnetic Poetry Kit (Dow’s Lake area) Gifted This was an equally thoughtful gift to the magnetic mug q.v. Alas I have not become a magnetic poet. The kit has not been used, but has sat on various shelves for years hoping to be liberated. Is your Muse waiting for such a gift?

Magnetic Poetry Mug (Dow’s Lake area) Gifted This was a thoughtful gift many moons ago. I always thought that there would be a time and place when I would use it. I have not. 😕 Is there someone in your life who would appreciate & use it?

Dimensional Paint (Dow’s Lake area) Promised Five tubes of French Blue and one of Raspberry colour. These are over twenty years old, but I opened a tube the other day and it was still moist. Do they tempt your crafty soul?

Packable Kite (Dow’s Lake area) Gifted This easily portable, packable kite is self contained in a small pouch. It has been gently used. I would be glad for it to live with someone who has the space and time to use it.

Fiorfiore Pesto (Dow’s Lake area) Gifted I didn’t check and the ingredients had changed from the last time I bought this. It now contains something that I avoid. On the basis of their other products, I imagine that it is still quite tasty.

A Sheaf of Carrier Bags (Dow’s Lake) Gifted 2 XL, 9L, 1 Medium & 9 regular size reusable non-woven carrier bags. Only used once. (I have my groceries delivered; no judgment please.) From a non-smoking environment, featuring a cat, so there will very likely be a stray fur or two on the outside, despite having been brushed off. I am aware that food banks can use these. You are most welcome to donate them to one.

Pearly Earrings Lagniappe (Dow’s Lake area) Gifted These new, gold-plated on brass earrings with steel posts were a gift with purchase of some other jewellery. Not to look a gift box in the mouth, but they’re not my style. I’m guessing that they are someone’s style. Yours?

Natural Peanut Butter past bb (Dow’s Lake) Gifted I’m embarrassed that this full, sealed jar was in my cupboard long enough to get past its bb date (see photo). I’ve eaten ‘expired’ pb myself, but I’m no longer recommended to eat it at all. While I’m not recommending this for human consumption, perhaps someone who feeds the creatures would find it acceptable.?

Cyclamen seeks better exposure (Dow’s Lake) Gifted I have regretfully accepted that I don’t have the desirable conditions for keeping this white cyclamen healthy year ‘round. It’s resilient, but it’s trying to bloom and my windowsill is too sunny. It would prefer less intense light and cooler temperatures. Would you have an appropriate spot?

Silk & Linen Jacket nwt (Dow’s Lake) Gifted It is with considerable regret that I finally acknowledge I will never wear this exquisite tailored jacket that was given to me many moons ago. It is labelled size M. The one-side underarm measurement is about 18”. I love it. I hope to find someone who will love it and wear it.

Tahini past bb (Dow’s Lake) Gifted I first discovered that sesame is not good for me, then checked this unopened jar of tahini to discover that it’s past its bb date (see photo). It’s not soooo much beyond it. Maybe there’s a margin of error? I imagine that it would be ok for creatures. Any takers?

Adopt an Amaryllis (Dow’s Lake) Gifted Is there a keen gardener who would like to grow on this amaryllis bulb over the summer in hopes of another season of bloom? I don’t have the windowsill space. This one is Apple Blossom colour. It produced two flower stalks, so might be a bit tired.

VERY Sturdy Plastic Zipper Bags (6) (Dow’s Lake) Expired I’m hoping that some creative, resourceful person will have an idea to put these strong bags to good use. They are approximately 15.75 inches wide and about 17 inches from bottom to the zip closure. They have a smallish gusset at the bottom. Please surprise me with something that I didn’t think of.

Heaps of reusable bags (Dow’s Lake) Gifted I’m offering lots of reusable carrier bags, that are nearly new. (I have my groceries delivered, no judgement, please.) A couple are the very sturdy plasticized ones; a couple are XL wide non-woven; a few are large non-woven; and plenty are the regular size non-woven type. The cat is not included; however, given the nature of staticky winter air, fair warning that there will be the occasional cat hair on the exteriors. I am aware that these could be useful at food banks, but it’s not practical for me to take them there. You would be most welcome to do so.

Petgreens cat treats for digestion (Dow’s Lake) Gifted Recently acquired. Salmon flavour treats with wheatgrass. The package has maybe half a dozen removed. Unfortunately my cat seems not at all interested in eating them, though they are excellent for floor hockey. Fair warning, they’re a bit smelly.
