Things have been sort of half-ass here for the last month or two due to family meshugas. No sooner did I get back from Florida than the Irish invaded my house. Don’t ask how that’s going. At least I have a few days to myself as they took a side trip to Niagara.
It’s been tough getting any work done while entertaining the in-laws, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. They leave at the end of June. Yes, it will have been a month since the first of them arrived! I’m only going to do once a month Brooklyn Flea for July and August. You know what that means? More time to work on the houses! Some DIY posts, salvage, materials, etc! I’ll be reclaiming my home!
Not participating in the flea every weekend also means I’ll have time to develop some new items and work on my online shop presence. But there I go again taking on too much. I have to remember two time consuming things coming up in August: My mom is coming to visit for 2 weeks and my tenants are leaving. And I don’t think mom will be much help getting the apartment ready to rent again.
Oy. It’s always something.

I’ll bet if you put a few pics up here you can pre-rent it in seconds flat. How much?
The Brooklyn Flea was featured in this month’s House Beautiful magazine.
Oh, I totally intend on putting it up here! I’m waiting until later this month because I’m going to start showing in July. It’s a 2 BR duplex in Bed Stuy with backyard and laundry access. I’m going to try for $2500. They are paying $2400 right now.
Nice House Beautiful article. They’ve been getting lots of press. I can’t wait to actually SHOP the flea instead of working it. I never have time to really look around. 🙁
Oh you’ll get it alright. The rents have really gone up put there. I wish I could swing it – I’d love to live in a Brownstone. On another note – It’s probably a good thing that all these relatives are forcing you to take a bit of a break from things:)
A) I wish too.
B)Oh, they’re forcing me alright!
