Day 332 - Ivy Vase

Today I am offering a nice Holly/Ivy vase. Would be perfect for a floating candle or decoration of some kind. Got this with some bath salts or something and it has been sitting around forever!!

Day 331 - Snowman Ribbon

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.

Day 330 - Snowman Luminary - GONE!

This is another one I am super happy to see being used! It is cute - just not something I took the time to use properly!!

Day 330 - Snowman Luminary

Today I am offering a snowman luminary. You put a candle in it and it lights up and looks super pretty! Another gift from my MIL!!! It is cute, but seriously, we have too much stuff!!

Day 329 - 2 Wine Toppers - GONE!

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!

Day 328 - Christmas Cards - GONE!

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

Day 328 - Christmas Cards

Today I am freecycling a package and a half of Christmas Cards. They were left over from last year - or maybe the year before. I am not good at re-using previous years Christmas Cards... Hopefully someone will use them up!

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:

Intro to Management Accounting 13th edition - Horngren, Sundem & Stratton
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!!

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!!

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.

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...

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!

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!!

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!

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.

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!!

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!!

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.

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!

Day 304 - Humidifier

Today I am offering a humidifier. We've not used it in a long time - and it now seems to release too much moisture. But, maybe someone can fix it???

Day 303 - OLD Laptop

Today I am offering an old laptop. It does not have a hard drive and probably does not even work. But, it could be used for parts or taken apart and put back together or made into something completely different.

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

Today I am offering another book - Organizations - Rational, Natural and Open Systems. This might have been Dave's book - the font is tiny!!!!! Get out your glasses.

Day 301 - Book - Leadership

Today I am offering a book - Leadership - Research Findings, Practice and Skills. This was back from my days in grad school. I loved my classes and readings, but really just never go back to them. So, they should be passed on to another............

Day 300 - Book - The Manager's Bookshelf

Today I am offering another book - let's clear out the guest room - the baby is almost here!!! It is another text book from grad school - the kind of reading you don't mind doing.

Day 299 - Book - Managerial Psychology

Today I am offering a text book Managerial Psychology - Managing Behavior in Organizations. I can't recall if this was my textbook or Dave's, but it is good stuff!!!

Day 291 - Textbook - Statistics for Business & Economics - FLOP!

Apparently nobody else likes stats!! It is not just me. A big flop! We'll see if it is a hit at the womans jail! Surely they might be bored enough to read a stats book.

Day 294 - Hand Knit Pink Blankets - GONE!

Some little girl has 2 "new" blankies to play with! I sure hope she has fun!!

Day 295 - Book - Skipping Christmas - GONE!

Happy to report my no-brainer book has been taken!! And, she picked-up! Always a plus!!

Day 297 - 20 inch TV - FLOP!

Well, the TV was a flop - off to the cancer fed it goes. I am a little surprised... Oh well.

Day 298 - Norelco Razor - GONE!

So glad the razor has been spoken for! I just hope he picks-up!!

Day 296 - Bag of cars - GONE!

Funny everyone wants a bag of cars I bought for 25 cents and nobody wants a TV or book. Whatever!! Maybe someone will respond today about the TV. Otherwise it goes to the cancer fed that is doing a pick-up here on Thursday! One way or another, it is gone!!

Day 297 - 20 inch TV

Today I am offering an old tv. This was the first big tv I bought - I thought 20 inches was big!! I've had it since college - which is a pretty long time!! The color is a bit off. We used some Amex points for a new flat screen TV - it is the only nice flat tv in the house!! I hope this old one goes!!

Day 298 - Norelco Razor

Today I am offering a men's Norelco Razor. It no longer holds a good charge - which is why we had to replace it. But, it works just fine. This might be a tough one to unload - but hopefully someone might have a use for it.

Day 296 - Bag of cars

Today I am freecycling a bag of toy cars - maybe 20 or so. I am sure any kid (probably a boy) would love them!! My girls are not so lucky! We have enough toys - and I am feeling a little grinchy.

Day 295 - Book - Skipping Christmas

Today I am offering a John Grisham book - Skipping Christmas. Super easy read - not a work of art, but somewhat entertaining. I might be jumping the gun on Christmas - I hope it goes.

Day 294 - Hand Knit Pink Blankets

Today I am offering 2 bright pink blankets. I believe they were hand knit or maybe crocheted. They are both in good condition - I am sure a little girl would love to play with them! Problem is ... we already have way too many blankets in our house!!

Day 292 - Brother Astronomer - GONE!

Okay - the fact this book has been promised is a bit of a surprise - but I am glad it will go to someone who might actually read it!

Day 293 - Book - The Tipping Point - GONE!

Not surprised to report the book has been taken. I was surprised I only had 2 responses, but I think most of America has read the book. At least it is taken!

Day 293 - Book - The Tipping Point

Today I am offering the book The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. Dave was the reader of this book - and I think just about everyone has read the book! He read all 3 of Gladwell's books - and this was his least favorite. And, yet somehow we have 2 copies in the house!! Dave is only willing to part with one - but is at least taking the other to work where it can collect dust on a shelf......

This will go!

Day 286 - Book - Now Discover Your Strengths - GONE!

This has been promised - but unfortunately not picked up yet! I have her another day and tomorrow will move on to the next taker! What a pain!!!

Day 287 - Book - Business at the Speed of Thought - GONE!

Thankfully, this book has been spoken for!! So glad it will live on - with a person starting their own business!

Day 292 - Brother Astronomer

Today I am offering a book neither of us have touhed - Brother Astronomer - Adventures of a Vatican Scientist. If you follow my blog, you know who gave it to us! I should say Dave. Nobody would ever give me a book like this. They just know I would never ever read it!!!

Day 291 - Textbook - Statistics for Business & Economics

Today I am offering one of Dave's old textbooks - Stats for Business & Economics. Thankfully I never had to use this book - not my strong suit! I did take a stats class in college and worked my tail off - and my grade was still not impressive. But, I tried!! Maybe I should keep the book - I think not.

Day 290 - 10 Insider Secrests to Job Hunting

Today I am offering a book from Dave's collection - 10 Insider Secrests to Job Hunting. I think he used this when looking for a job a few years ago. We'll he is happy in his job, so I don't think we need it any longer. Again, I think this one will be a welcome addition to someones reading materials.

Day 289 - Book - Women For Hire

Today I am offering a nice softcover book - Women for Hire. I don't really know when or where I got this book - I have not been in the job market in a while! But, it is not super old - and is in good condition. I hope it helps someone find a precious job!!

Day 288 - DVD The Big Lebowski - GONE!

Not a surprise, the DVD is gone!! If she does not pick up there are many other "takers" to choose from!!

Day 288 - DVD The Big Lebowski

Today I am offering a brand new DVD of The Big Lebowski. I've never seen this movie, but my husband likes it. He says we have another copy. Why on earth would we have 2 - especially since we never even watch movies at home? I think I should be freecycling both. But, that might get his goat - and we don't want that. Not tonight anyway...

Day 284 - Bertucci's Gift Cert - GONE!

I had several takers for this one!! Not a surprise. The certificate is in the mail!! I hope they enjoy it!!

Day 285 - Tuesdays with Morrie - GONE!

That did not take long!! The tape is gone!!

Day 287 - Book - Business at the Speed of Thought

Today I am offering a hardcover book in excellent condition - Business at the Speed of Thought by Bill Gates. Not sure where we got this - probably though work or something. I never read it - maybe Dave did???

So where do you want to go tomorrow? That's the question Bill Gates tries to answer in Business @ the Speed of Thought. Gates offers a 12-step program for companies wanting to do business in the next millennium. The book's premise: Thanks to technology, the speed of business is accelerating at an ever-increasing rate, and to survive, it must develop an infrastructure--a "digital nervous system"--that allows for the unfettered movement of information inside a company. Gates writes that "The most meaningful way to differentiate your company from your competition ... is to do an outstanding job with information. How you gather, manage, and use information will determine whether you win or lose."

Day 286 - Book - Now Discover Your Strengths

Today I am offering a nice hardcover book - Now Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham. Read once or twice - plenty of life left in it!!

Effectively managing personnel--as well as one's own behavior--is an extraordinarily complex task that, not surprisingly, has been the subject of countless books touting what each claims is the true path to success. That said, Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton's Now, Discover Your Strengths does indeed propose a unique approach: focusing on enhancing people's strengths rather than eliminating their weaknesses. Following up on the coauthors' popular previous book, First, Break All the Rules, it fully describes 34 positive personality themes the two have formulated (such as Achiever, Developer, Learner, and Maximizer) and explains how to build a "strengths-based organization" by capitalizing on the fact that such traits are already present among those within it.

Day 285 - Tuesdays with Morrie

Today I am offering a great book - Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. It is on tape - talk about old! Several years ago my husband and I listened to it on a road trip and really enjoyed it!!

Day 284 - Bertucci's Gift Cert

Today I am offering a $15 gift certificate to Bertucci's. I've never been there - it looks nice. I got it in the mail - not sure why!!! But, we won't be heading out any time too soon and I don't want it to go to waste. Someone will enjoy it!

Day 283 - Ceiling Fan - GONE!

So happy this fan can continue to circulate in someone elses home!!

Day 283 - Ceiling Fan

Today I am offering a nice ceiling fan. We are trying to make the nursery a little more baby friendly and switching out the fan was one step toward a more kid friendly nursery.

I think this will go - although people probably would have rather gotten it in warm weather.

I was in northern Wisconsin over the weekend - it was snowing! Yuck.

Day 282 - Glass Candle Holder - GONE!

Not surprised, but the candle holder has been promised! Let's hope it gets picked up!!!

Day 282 - Glass Candle Holder

Today I am offering a nice glass candle holder with pressed flowers in it. Would be great for a woman's bedroom or maybe bathroom.

Day 281 - 2 Glass Vases

Today I am offering 2 nice glass vases. One is tall for flowers and the other is short and wide - great for floating candles or some kind of centerpiece. Both are in great condition!!

Day 280 - Glass Candle Hodler - GONE!

I am happy to report this candle holder has been taken. I think it will look beautiful in the right place and hope it goes to use!

Day 279 - Coyote Trivet - GONE!

That was a close call, but the trivet has been taken! Let's hope we don't have a no-show!!

Day 280 - Glass Candle Hodler

Today I am offering a nice glass candle holder. I am sure this kind of candle holder has some fancy name - I just don't know it. You put a small tea candle in it and it looks super pretty.

Day 279 - Coyote Trivet

Today I am offering a cute coyote trivet - or it could be a coaster. A friend got it for me in New Mexico and although it is cute - it has been in a box for a long time! If it does not go maybe I'll get a little stand and put it on display? Maybe not???

Day 278 - 4 Boxes - GONE!

I actually had many people want the boxes - that made me happy!! I'll take it!

Day 278 - 4 Boxes

Today I am offering 4 decorative boxes. All are small and would hold jewelry 0r buttons or things like that. Nice condition for all.

Day 277 - Watch

Today I am offering a nice watch - needs a new battery! But, it is nice. Has a green face and lights up with "indiglo". Brown braided band.

Day 276 - Candlestick

Today I am offering a candle stick that holds 3 candles. Not sure where this is from - really can't even imagine! But, it is nice and I'd love to find a home for it - how about yours??

Day 275 - 2 Coffee Cups

Today I am offering 2 large coffee mugs. Dave and I don't drink coffee, so we seriously don't need or want them in the house! We don't even have a coffee pot!! They've got to go!

Day 273 - Crib & Mattress - GONE!

This crib is gone! But, I am surprised how many questions people can have about free stuff and how they can turn their noses up to free things! If you want a certain style of crib - or a new crib - don't expect to get it on freecycle!

Well, there is my vent for the day. Let's hope it is my only one.

I've attached a photo of the crib - really just to show you Erin!

Day 267 - Book - Lipstick Jungle by Candace Bushnell - GONE!

This was also taken by a blog follower! Hope she has a great vacation and enjoys this read!

Day 270 - CD - Steel Drum CD - GONE!

I had a taker and they did not pick-up. Boo hoo. So, one of my blog followers snapped it up! Glad it has gone to a house that loves music!

Day 268 & 269 - Geja's Gift Certs - GONE!

Not a surprise, they are taken! I had a lot of responses. And, I chose 2 nice people. One sent their address - they other did nothing! So, I gave it to one of my blog followers - who is also a friend! You snooze you lose!

Day 274 - Duck Pitcher

Today I am offering a blue and white pitcher with ducks on it. I think my mom gave it to me a few years ago, but it does not work with our decor and I'd like it to go to use!! Wouldn't it look nice in your house??

Day 273 - Crib & Mattress

Today I am offering a crib and mattress. We used this for one of my girls - and my cousins have also used it. But, it has plenty of life left in it for another baby!

Day 272 - large file cabinet

Today I am offering a large file cabinet - I think 5 drawers or so? Not the prettiest thing you've ever seen, but gets the job done.

We already have one cabinet and really can't have a need (at this point in our lives) for 2!!! Seriously, must we file this much stuff? I don't think so!

Day 271 - Kids Table

Today I am offering a small wooden kids table. It nicely sits 2-4 kids. Could use a little TLC to make it a bit sturdier.

This is the table I grew up playing with, so there is some sentimental value. But, my MIL got us a great table last Christmas and we don't need 2. This has been in the nursery forever, but soon we'll need the nursery to be a nursery rather than a storage room. So, it is on the outs!
