Today I got a break. My hubby stayed home with my mom and one of my daughters came up and we went and tackled cleaning up the flea market booth. She puts things in the booth also so she always helps me about once a month.
Since she is not working anymore and the quarantine is starting to lift, she wants to come more often so we can keep the booth neat and clean. It goes so much faster with two people cleaning too!
The flea market just reopened and there was a good flow of customers today on a Tuesday. That is promising. However, I don't expect to make anything for last month since the flea market was closed for at least half of the month.
We also made plans today on how to rearrange the booth. I have some new storage gizmos and I think we figured out the plan today. It will virtually move everything and we will be able to take a table out.
It was a fun day with just the two of us. She got a break from the kids today and I got a break from being a caretaker today. Win! I also found a nice double handle candlestick holder made by McCoy and also a pretty vase by West Moreland. She also found a few things and we both came home tired!

@kareng If that's needed, it means that it's still dangerous.

@cherriefic This place is big enough to where you do not have to come into close contact with other shoppers. Checkout is the closest you have to come to anyone.

I didn't know that you are selling in the flea market. Are there many customers that checked your wares?

We did good for March. I didn't have to pay any rent and both my daughter and I got checks, so that was a good month! The next month includes at least 2 weeks of closure so I'm expecting to have to pay at least a partial rent on the space.

@kareng but now that it is open again, at least business can go on.

@wolfgirl569 He probably has another toy picked out. I don't think so!! He's been averaging one new one a month. Time to slow down.
