give-away shelf

Hello.
At the opening to our dock (Ooooooh. -Ed.)is a gate with the residents' mailboxes and a shelf for "give-aways". My first few attempts at leaving just the right item failed, but i've gotten better at it. Books and Rich's audio books go the quickest. Each morning I walk 2 the gate and leave my offerings on the shelf. Today i left two posh paisley placemats and the Norman Rockwell calendar i received yesterday from All-State Auto Insurance. Yesterday i left a small high-gloss dark-brown ceramic lamp(white lampshade). The day b4 that i left the David Swenson Ashtanga yoga book. Tomorrow i'm thinking of leaving two modern bright-white coffee cups and a white cotton knit stocking hat, size small.
