Ruby Red Shoes (Richardson, TX)
These Kelly&Katie red sparkly shoes have hardly been worn, but they are a bit old and have lost a lot of their flexibility. Plus, there is a whitish spot on the tip of the left shoe. I thought I would see if anyone wanted to try to do anything with these - maybe take a red Sharpie to the spot? Shoe size: 7.5

Sewing Projects (Richardson, TX)
I understand some people like to make purses, etc. out of rice sacks, so I thought I would see if anyone wanted to do that. (The sack is empty and quite new.) The elastic at the neck of this shirt (size: M) has become limp and there is a tiny hole on the shirt's back (see picture). Free to a good sewer looking for some projects.

Broken Bathroom Scale (Richardson, TX)
This bathroom scale has given up the ghost (I have tried it with new batteries about 3 times). I thought I would check to see if anyone wanted to have a go at fixing it or using the nice glass on the front before I chucked it. The glass is unchipped and unscratched.

Three house plants (Richardson, TX)
Gifted
Three plants that are a little rough looking, but could be restored with the right TLC. BTW, the fern will not live through a winter outdoors; it needs to be an indoor plant.

Blue plastic barrels (Richardson, TX)
Gifted
We were going to use these 4 barrels in a garden project that never happened. They have been sitting out in the sun for a few years, but they are still sturdy and would, I am sure, make good planters. Free to a good home.

Blown down pergola (Richardson, TX)
Gifted
Our pergola blew down in the recently wind storm. We are going to throw it away, but I thought I would just check to see if someone would want to try to fix it. It is a little bent in two places, and most of the screws have been torn from their holes; but, with the right tools and know-how it should be fixable. Roughly 12' x 12'

KitchenAid Food Processor parts (Richardson, TX)
Gifted
The motor of my faithful old KitchenAid food processor recently gave up the ghost. However, the top parts still work just fine, so I thought I would see if anyone wanted them. As you can see in the pictures, the metal bar that used to attach to the insertion part of the lid broke off. However, I have just been keeping the metal bar inserted in the lid (which is necessary for the machine to turn on), and it works just fine. The lid insertion also has mild chipping but nothing that affects performance. I have included the motor in case any brave soul would like to try to fix it, but just to be perfectly clear: THE BASE IS CURRENTLY BROKEN AND THE TOP PARTS ARE CURRENTLY USEABLE. Model#: KFP0933ER

Ethan Allen Federal-style chair (Richardson, TX)
Gifted
I bought this beautiful mid-century chair at an antique store for around $50, however, the spokes keep poking out even after I glue them. Not sure why. Free to someone who knows how to handle these things.

Ring Box (Richardson, TX)
Gifted
I was recently catsitting two very naughty cats, and they knocked this box off the counter. Somehow (don't ask me how), the top of one of the hinges came off the screws that were holding it in place. I thought I would check to see if anyone would like to try to repair it instead of just throwing it away. The box is pretty and can still be fastened.
