WANTED: WANTED: 2000s/2010s Nostalgia Items for Local Digital Archiv (Chingford E4)
DESCRIPTION
Hello neighbours! 👋
My name is Rachael, and I am the Curator of @cheekymonkeybabygirl***, a local, faceless digital archive dedicated to preserving hyper-specific UK ***s and ***s nostalgia. I am building a digital museum to celebrate the magic of our local areas, and I am looking for old items that you might be clearing out, rather than seeing them go to landfill.
I am gently looking for items such as:
- Sealed ***s/***s snacks or drinks (e.g., Dairylea Dunkers, retro sweets, old-school squash).
- Old Tech: iPod Nanos, Motorola Razr phones, old digital cameras, blank CDs/DVDs, or old charging cables.
- Stationery & School: Lisa Frank folders, glitter pens, old diaries, sticker books, or colouring cards.
- Media: ***s/***s DVDs (e.g., The Parent Trap, Toy Story, Disney Princesses) or old music CDs.
- Accessories: Lip Smackers, sparkly hair bows, leopard print accessories, or old novelty keyrings.
⚠️ IMPORTANT BOUNDARIES (Please Read):
1. Severe Allergies: I have severe nut and fish allergies. Any food or drink items MUST be factory-sealed, unopened, and in date. If you are unsure, please do not offer food. Non-food items are always welcome!
2. Strictly Pet-Free: My archive environment is strictly free of all animal and insect-related content. Please do not offer any items related to cats or dogs, or items from homes with strong pet odours.
3. Communication: I am a shy, faceless curator. I communicate via Freegle messaging or email only. Please, no phone calls.
Collection:
I am local and can happily collect from the Romford, Goodmayes, Barking, Dagenham, Lakeside, or Chingford areas. I am very flexible and can arrange a quick, contactless porch collection at a time that suits you, to make it as easy and low-pressure as possible. All items are safely inspected by my support staff upon receipt.
Thank you so much for helping me preserve our local history and keep these sparkly ***s memories alive! 🎀📼
Warmly,
Rachael
Curator of @cheekymonkeybabygirl***
