Okay, I've got some kind of neat stuff in the basement. Some of it might be something you'd like. In general, if you like antique-y stuff from the 40s/50s in your kitchen, could you say something here so I could let you know what's coming through? I hate sending all of this on to the Goodwill but I just can't take it all with me (as they say).
All of this is free except for the first item. Ask for what you'd like most first if you want more than one item. I'd like to try to balance this stuff out among folks if many people are interested. And I don't deliver. I'm sure you understand why.
Rice cooker. $5. I don't think it's been used at all; it was bought for us but ... I cook rice on top of the stove.
Lime green casserole dish with lid. This would seem like a horror but it's actually a vintage item from an American pottery company. I think it's neat but I already have, um, three other casserole dishes and I think ultimately I can only keep one.
Paper making kit. Still sealed in plastic.
Cute 70s candle making kit, with molds and (I think) much of the wax.
Little hand loom. Good for making place-mat sized things.
Every thing you could possibly need to do batik - book, wax melter, wax, dyes, the whole nine yards.
And I have stuff I have put aside for people: hats for
moriae, new wave and D&D stuff for
poh, a book of ballads for
wingedelf, excellent books on dog care for
thedivas, a few beautiful dresses I think would be perfect for
theda. Anyone want some Halloween decorations? I need to ditch those, too.
I actually finished two books tonight that I'd been working on for over a year (a critical analysis of Phillip Pullman and
Fast Food Nation) and I balanced the checkbook
and I made it through two more boxes downstairs (this was mostly pretty quality stuff and the boxes had a lot of space in them) so I'm feeling pretty accomplished. And I found a book I was pretty sure I'd lost (fallen behind the speaker in the living room). Maybe I can go to bed now.
