I would like to clear up a little confusion from my last posting. We got our IKEA shelves from the Park Slope Parents Classifieds List which is “the Craigs List for Park Slope and Kids’ Stuff.” If you live in Brooklyn or the surrounding areas, you should check it out. You can find some great deals like we did.

I am also learning to "dumpster dive" on the weekends. Its not what you think, I am not rummaging through dumpster juice. On the weekends, Park Slope residents put unwanted household items and clothing out on the curb. People like to hang their used shoes on the fence. It is quite odd to me but last weekend I found some cute baby clothes that were like brand new! I also found a bunch of clothes hangers which I was in desperate need of after moving.

On Sundays, there is also a fun Flea Market at PS321 school. We went there last Sunday but we are mainly interested in resale for our ebay business. Saw a cool vintage western shirt but it was $5.00. I am used to finding stuff in Florida for $1.00 and under at garage sales. I guess I just need to get used to the increase of the cost of living here in NY. Even at the flea markets.

I would love to hear about some of the cool treasures my fellow Park Slopers and Brooklynites have found.
