Not your everyday glove or mitten...

If you still have the other half of these gloves, you would probably be happy to see them united!

HOW IT WORKS

If you have a single glove, e-mail me a photo of it. Tell me its size, whether it is left or right, and your location (city and neighbourhood). If you wish, write a little story about acquiring or losing it.

I will post it here. It will be either a close or creative (= anything from 'same style, different colour' and 'same colour, different style' to 'in my mind they are a perfect match'!) partner to someone else's single glove. When someone who sees your glove decides that it will be a good partner to their single glove, you can reduce waste and increase happiness by giving your spare glove to that person. This is a sharing, specifically a gift-giving zone, just like other free-cycling zones--no commerce or bartering around here!

If you find a glove you like on the site, e-mail me, and I'll put you in contact with the glove owner. That might change in the future.

Presently I expect that people in the same locale can meet to transfer the glove to the new owner, or arrange a "porch-pickup". For long-distance, must-have-that-particular-glove! instances, we need some creative solutions. A friend suggested snail mail. That would work with light, thin gloves, but cost too much with bulky gloves. So this is a work in progress, and I am open to suggestions to improve the project. So far the best policy is "go local".

ALSO... If you find a glove somewhere, and there is no lost and found desk to take it to, I suggest you leave it there, photograph it and post your photograph in one of these great sites: Unloved Glove (global), Lonely Glove Project (New York), and long lost (g)love (global, presently with most submissions from New York).
