Free miscanthus ornamental grass
by Slovenec, Sharon 05 Aug '21

05 Aug '21

I have a couple of miscanthus ornamental grass that have outgrown their spaces (one has taken over the sidewalk, in fact-apologies, neighbors!) and need to be moved. I'm hoping someone might be interested in digging them out and rehoming it, given how expensive ornamental grass plants are at the nursery. The one nearest the sidewalk is probably equivalent to at least 5 vigorous larger plants from a nursery. Free to a good home!

[For Sale] Calphalon 14-Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set--$150 OBO
by Dana Leahy 05 Aug '21

05 Aug '21

I'm selling our 14-piece Calphalon stainless steel cookware set. It's in excellent condition and is very sturdy cookware. The glass lids allow you to see food while it's cooking, which I think is a bonus, especially for cooks who are still learning! There are 8 pots and pans and 6 lids. The pots and pans include 3 skillets (12", 10", and 8"), a stock pot, 3 saucepans, and a saute pan (high-walled frying pan). If you would like more detailed information about the different pots and pans, let me know and I can get it for you. It's tri-ply stainless steel, so it is compatible with all cooking surfaces including induction. $150 OBO pick up from my house in Morningside. Cash or electronic payment (Venmo, CashApp, etc) only. No checks.

nanny available
by Carrie Roy 05 Aug '21

05 Aug '21

Hi neighbors, after several months with a fantastic nanny, we are moving back to preschool this August and we wanted to do our part to help her find her next family. Lauren is an incredibly kind, responsible, fun woman who is equally comfortable playing make believe as she is teaching new skills. She has been incredibly helpful for our household and we are truly sad to move on. I know she has worked for a few other families in Highland Park and nearby, with kids of a wide age range, and can handle multiples or a single child. Please reach out if you are looking for a new childcare option beginning this fall and I will happily put you in touch!
