Day 335 - New Mittens - GONE!

I wish I had smaller hands, because these were nice! I am sure they'll be regifted - which I think is nice!!

Day 335 - New Mittens

Today I am offering a brand new pair of super nice winter mittens. Got these as a gift last year, but could not return. I don't wear them because they are very bulky - but very nice!! Maybe I should have kept them for a grab bag gift!

Day 334 - Receiving Blankets - FLOP!

Not a surprise these flopped! I think I'll cut them into rags and use them for cleaning! God knows I've got lots of that to take care of.

Day 334 - Receiving Blankets

Today I am offering several receiving blankets. I think these are somewhat unnecessary!! Maybe you use them for a few days, but I've just never been that into them! Most of these are from the hospital.

Today I am offering 1.5 packages of snowman ribbon. The width is about 2 inches - and the full package has 5 yards - not sure about the open one - I am assuming it is 1/2 used.

They are finally off my desk and on someone else's - or maybe being used!! Wouldn't that be nice!!

Day 329 - 2 Wine Toppers

Today I am offering two nice silver wine toppers. They would be great Holiday Hostess Gifts!! One was a give-away at a wedding we went to a long time ago and not sure about the other. But, they are nice - never used... We'll see!

They are gone... Actually, my parents are happy to take them!!

Day 327 - Diper Bag

Today I am offering a brand new diaper bag - messenger style. I got it from the hospital and it is super nice. But, the whole messenger style does not work for me. And, I already have plenty of diaper bags from my earlier kids. So, I am hoping to pass this along to another family that might put it to use!!

Day 327 - Diper Bag - FLOP!

Who wants a "used" (even though it wasn't) free diaper bag? Nobody! Helen - do you need another one???

Day 326 - Book - What to expect

I hoped (did not expect) this would be taken and it wasn't. Boo hoo.

Day 326 - Book - What to Expect When You Are Expecting

I am no longer expecting - and don't expect to be again! At least that's the plan for today. So, hopefully someone else will use the book.

Day 325 - Kitchen Table - GONE!

After reminding her over and over to take the table, I am happy to say she finally took it! Hard to get people to pick-up free stuff. Annoying!

Day 325 - Kitchen Table

Today I am offering a nice kitchen table. This is one of those posts that is a little more difficult. It is a nice table and we like it. We just don't need it and really don't have room for it. So, it needs a new home. I think it will be snapped up.

Day 319 - 324 - Textbooks

Today I am offering several textbooks. This is to last me the next 4 days. Why do I need to do this? Well, I am having a baby tomorrow and don't want to freecycling from the hospital. Anyhoo... today I am getting rid of:

Finance - Bodie & Merton
Operations Mgmt for Competitive Advantage - Chase, Jacobs & Aquilano
Managerial Economics - Png
Statistics for Business & Economics - Anderson, Sweeney & Williams

Day 301 - Book - Leadership - GONE!

I actually gave it to a teacher at a local college. I am sure it will go to use!!

Day 302 - Book - Organizations - Rational, Natural and Open Systems - GONE

Glad this one is gone - yikes. A thick read!

Day 303 - OLD Laptop - GONE!

Giving away a relatively useless laptop is always tricky! Some don't fully read the post, but see laptop and get crazy excited. I need to weed through and find the people that know they are getting something to play with or fix. I think I found that perfect taker!

Day 304 - Humidifier - GONE!

Yes, the humidifier is gone! Had one taker who flaked out on me, but another in the wings to pick it up! Success.

Day 305 - Butter Keeper - GONE!

Funny... the woman who was selected as my "taker" broker the top of her butter keeper the morning I posted this offer. She was thrilled to have a new one that same day! Surprisingly, I had many people want this item.

Day 306 - 2 Throw Blankets - GONE!

I had a lot of people want these blankets - not a suprise! So glad they are in a new home keeping someone warm!!!

Day 307 - Cookbook - Soups - GONE!

Not sure my mom likes that I freecycle. There is always stuff on my porch - something I also don't like! But, she often comes by and wants things - like this book. And, I've already promised them, so she does not get them. She was not happy to miss this book - and could not understand why I'd get rid of it! Too much stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 308: Book - Lies & the Lying Liars Who Tell Them - GONE!

One person wanted this book - and they got it! Enjoy!!!

Day 309 - Goldman Sachs The Culture of Success - GONE!

This one took a while to be picked up - but it is finally gone! I hope he enjoys reading it! I wonder how Goldman Sachs is doing today???

Day 310 - Book - Ethan Allen Style - GONE!

This book also had make takers! So glad it is picked up and off my property!! Now I don't need to drop it at the Dominicks book drop!

Day 311 - Lynksys Wireless-G Adapter - GONE!

I was nervous whoever took this would end up needing a different thing! But, I was wrong. The taker was so happy it was exactly what he needed for his computer! Another success!!

Day 312 - Phone System - GONE!

Not a surprise the phone system is gone! I hope the new taker gets some good use from it!

Day 314 - Dog Toys - GONE!

It is amazing how much people love their dogs. I had so many takers. One woman even sent me a photo of her dog! We are all such suckers for these 4 legged friends.

Day 317 - Toaster - GONE!

And, the toaster is also gone! So nice to have the karma of getting a "new" one and passing the usable "old" one on to another home.

Day 316 - Webcam - GONE!

Yippie - the webcam is gone!! I had like 10 takers in about 10 mintues! Some items are hot hot hot!!!!!!!!!

Day 318 - Real Estate Books

Today I am offering several Real Estate books. Not sure how many are joining the field in this wonderful economy, but I'd love to have them gone!!

We'll see!!

Day 317 - Toaster

Today I am offering a 2 slice toaster. Why??? Well, I got a "new" toaster from freecycle a few days ago and I like it!!! Hopefully someone can use this toaster!!

Thursday, November 12, 2009

Day 316 - Webcam

Today I am offering a webcam. We got a new one as a gift and are hoping this can be used by someone. I think it will go quickly!!

Day 315 - Crib Mattress

Today I am offering a crib mattress. Funny story - we are having our basement redone. So is our neighbor. She is trying to pawn off all her stuff on to us! So, I am freecycling it. Looks to be in good condition!!

Tuesday, November 10, 2009

Day 314 - Dog Toys

What dog does not like bones? chew toys? ropes? balls? anyting! Buddy, Erin's dog, does not like to play like a dog. We've bought him tons of stuff and he does not do anything with it. So, I am giving it away!

But - he does like to chew plastic - like tupperware. Now, that's annoying - and can't taste very good.

Monday, November 9, 2009

Day 313 - Girls Jacket

Today I am offering a nice girls jacket. I bought it for $3 and thought I got a great deal! The only problem is that I did not notice it was missing a liner - and that does not keep Erin warm enough as it gets colder and colder. So, I had to splurge and get another...

Sunday, November 8, 2009

Day 312 - Phone System

Today I am offering a phone system with 4 cordless phones. We've used it for years, but the batteries seem to be flaking out and we can't get them working properly. Hopefully someone else has magic hands and can get everything in perfect order!

Saturday, November 7, 2009

Day 311 - Lynksys Wireless-G Adapter

Today I am offering a Lynksys Wireless-G Adapter. I no longer am using the laptop I needed this piece for. It is a little outdated, so I hope someone might have a use for it. I works just perfectly!!

Friday, November 6, 2009

Day 310 - Book - Ethan Allen Style

Today I am offering a nice cocktail table book - Ethan Allen Style. It was a gift from a friend who worked at Ethan Allen. I've not even opened it - can't afford the style and don't have the time to make the changes. Oh well!

Thursday, November 5, 2009

Day 309 - Goldman Sachs The Culture of Success

Today I am offering a hardcover book - Goldman Sachs The Culture of Success by Lisa Endlich. Yet another book I don't know the history on! But, hopefully someone can gather some gems from it and enjoy the read.

Wednesday, November 4, 2009

Day 308: Book - Lies & the Lying Liars Who Tell Them

Today I am offering a hardcover book - Lies & the Lying Liars Who Tell Them by Al Franken. I think Dave read and enjoyed this book - not sure! But, I know I won't get to it! Hope someone else can enjoy it!!

Tuesday, November 3, 2009

Day 307 - Cookbook - Soups

Today I am offering a cookbook - Soups. It has over 100 recipes - and a photo for each recipe. It is a nice cookbook - I just have too many of them to justify! I've never used this one - it was a gift. I hope it goes!!

Monday, November 2, 2009

Day 306 - 2 Throw Blankets

Today I am offering 2 fleece throw blankets. They are really nice, but we already have a throw for just about every couch in the house and don't need them. I am sure they'll go.

Sunday, November 1, 2009

Day 305 - Butter Keeper

Today I am offering a nearly new butter keeper. This keeps butter soft, but does not allow it to go bad. I just never got in the habit of using it - and it is taking up space in my kitchen!
