what am i doing?

here is the story of one independent designer (me) going big-time - that is to say, opening up a real, live storefront in the part of Park Slope, Brooklyn known as "the fringe".

so what's happened so far? the property manager and his trusty assistant (who told me today about how she grows her hair out past 12" so that she can cut it and donate it to kids with cancer) have a deposit and will be drawing up a lease for me to review and sign on Monday. so soon! i have to get them quite a big fat check by then too. lease begins on september 1, and then i hustle to get it all set up ASAP to catch the holiday sales.

now i have to actually do some work, ie jewelry orders and wedding invitations. must finish as much as possible before september!
