FS: Two like-new Container Store medium modular drawers

We have two grey medium-sized modular plastic drawers from the Container Store. They're both like new -- one has a few minor scratches on it, but they're small -- and still have price tags on them. Their dimensions are 12.5"x20.5"x8"h. You can see them on the Container Store's website by clicking here, and I'm happy to send photos, too. 

These cost $25 each new, but we'll sell both for $35. If you're interested, feel free to email the above address or text 310-916-8917. Thanks!

26th Annual Zlatne Uste Golden Festival, January 14 & 15, 2011

Dear Press Person,

It's that time of year... the doldrums of January.  Time to get out of your cave and get rejuvenated with 13 hours of Balkan music, dance, snacks, and fun.  This year the Golden Festival will be held in a new spacious venue, Grand Prospect Hall in Park Slope, Brooklyn.  More than 60 groups have applied to perform.  Last year there were over 1800 attendees over the two nights, and this year we expect more.

The festival has always been a benefit for Balkan charities and educational institutions.  Over the last several years we have given around $8000 to groups such as Mercy Corps, IRC, Heifer, East European Folklife Center, and Search for Common Ground.

The festival website (below) shows many pictures of the festival.  If a picture would be useful for your needs, we can supply same.

Catch previews of the festival on WFMU-FM (Saturday January 8, 2011 at 6PM) and WNYC-FM (January 12, 2011 at 2:30PM).  In addition 3 hours of the festival on January 15th will be broadcast live over WFMU with another 3 hours recorded for later broadcast.

Large and Sunny Room Available January 1st

Hello. I am a 21 year old female looking for a new roommate for this very large (even for the area) two bedroom in Ditmas Park. I am about to resign the lease in January and am hoping to have someone for when my roommate leaves on January 1st. A slightly later move-in date could definitely be arranged. The apartment is large and sunny with a living room and dining room. The bedrooms are separated by the bathroom and so there is always a lot of privacy in the apartment. Your room would be about 10x13 feet with a good sized-closet as well as shared coat and linen closets off the dining room. 

More information and photos here http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/roo/2118477939.html

Temple Beth Emeth v'Ohr Progressive Shaari Zedek
83 Marlborough Rd., Brooklyn, NY  11226 

 

Dear Torah Scholars,


This Saturday at
10 am we will have our study of the weekly Torah
portion. If possible, please read the Torah portion beforehand (but as
always, if you don't have a chance, come anyway). This week's Torah
portion is Vayechi, Genesis 47:28-50:26.   If you don't have access
to a Bible, you can find a Hebrew-English or just English Bible here:
http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0.htm.

If you'd like to read any commentaries, there are many online, for
example, here:
http://urj.org/learning/torah

Have a bagel and join in our always-lively discussion as we immerse
ourselves in the living waters of Torah, adding our voices and
thoughts to those of Jewish tradition.

 

I look forward to learning with you!

Shalom,
Rabbi Heidi Hoover
rabbinic intern, Temple Beth Emeth

Looking for Artist Studio in Ditmas Park/Midwood/Prospect Park South

Hi there-

I'm a Ditmas Park-living figurative painter looking for a space to do my work. Looking around all the Victorians, I often wonder if there isn't an unused nook within any of them! I'm clean, responsible, and serious about my work (I have a MfA) and am looking for a commitment. I have a day job so would only use a few days a week at most. Thanks! Please contact me at charices at hotmail dot com.

$780 Lg Room in 4 Bedroom Victorian, January 1st, Ditmas Park! Q/B train (Brooklyn, Ditmas Park)

The available room is on the 3rd floor of a large Victorian house in beautiful Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. Our apartment consists of the 2nd and 3rd floor of the house, and there are four roommates in total. I'm moving into a studio with my girlfriend, otherwise I would never give up this great apartment!

Rent: $780 w/ water & heat (gas, electric, internet not included)
Location: Argyle Road between Ditmas and Dorchester

Available Room: ~14' L x 11.5' W
-Large Closet ~4'10" wide x 1'8" deep

House Features:
-Washer/Dryer in kitchen (incredibly convenient!)
-Large kitchen with dinner table
-Full living room with chairs, table and futon for guests
-Front deck with table and chairs
-Large shared bathroom on 2nd floor (this bathroom is shared by 3 of the roommates, as one room has its own which helps keep the traffic moderate)
-Wireless Internet enabled (bill split 4 ways)

Subway: Q, B stops: Cortelyou & Newkirk -- only 4 blocks away! (< 3 minute walk)
F at 18th Ave -- 10 blocks away

Also close to the south entrance of Prospect Park!

Available On: January 1st (arrangements could be made to accommodate a sooner move)

What really makes this place special is the neighborhood. It is very quiet and safe, and is filled with enormous, beautiful trees. It hardly feels like Brooklyn when you're sitting on the front porch! However, the house is only one avenue away from the plethora of restaurants, delis, bars, coffee shops, bakeries and markets on Cortelyou road. There's a 24 hour deli and Dunk n' Donuts right around the corner. The neighborhood is very vibrant, friendly, safe and growing every month. You'll fall in love with it like I did (which is why I'm not moving far!).

You can see the house itself, the living room and deck, and the room for rent in the photos. For a sense of scale, that's a queen size bed, love seat and 50" TV, and the room also holds a full book shelf, computer desk and dressers.

The remaining roommates are comprised of two girls and one guy, all mid-late twenties. The house is relatively quiet with plenty of privacy, and non-cigarette smoke friendly. No cats or dogs. This is not a party house, but occasional get togethers are fine. Everyone is very friendly and guests are welcome!

If you're interested please contact me as soon as possible at whatamunky@gmail.com. This is a fantastic space! Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the apartment. I am available to show the room most hours all week.

Couple more pics

Just so you can see the couch detail up close - the camera blurs it all together - its actually quite distinct when you see it, even at a distance.

2 Desks and a Couch

My girlfriend and I are moving, and we have two great desks and a couch to sell.

1) Drafting Desk purchased from IKEA (70). An awesome, spacious, desk for those who want a big surface area, without taking up much space.

2) Hardwood Trestle Desk (225). Also extremely spacious, with shelves too. But because it's also open concept, it doesn't take up a lot of room. Made out of really sturdy, dark, hardwood, this piece of furniture was really made to last.

3) Awesome, chic, luxe, couch (400). This ones really hard to describe, because its one of a kind, and, AWESOME! High back and arms, so you can really sink into it, and designed in this one of a kind striped, pattern, that always reminds me of x-ray specs. A real piece of furniture for someone looking for something really special. The type of piece you could design a whole room around, if you wanted, or that would give any room some real character.

We live right off Cortelyou, in an elevator building. So, it's about as easy as it gets.

If you have any questions, contact me at:

Young couple looking for 1br near Cortelyou BQ stop

We're an engaged couple in our mid-late 20's that's looking for a nice place in Ditmas Park. We love the neighborhood and would love to live there.

Since we both work in Manhattan and one of us needs to transfer at least once from the B or Q, we're looking pretty much only in the area around the Cortelyou BQ station. Our budget ranges from $1000 to $1400 per month and we're looking for a 1br with decent space (or an abnormally large studio). We have perfect credit and a delightful cat.

Please text or call if you have something for rent that might meet our needs. Thank you! 646-457-0198

Folk Art Hobby Horse

Old platform rocking horse would look festive filled with evergreens on a sideboard, or as a display for collectible dolls.
Handmade by someone for a toddler, now best used as a decorative piece.  The rope tails are clean, and the drawn-on faces
are cute.  Great price for a real piece of folk art - $45

2 Huges, Awesome, desks

We have two huge, awesome, great, desks. We love them, but we're moving to a smaller place, and we need the room. That being said, they're both open concept desks, so you get the best of two worlds - a huge desk, but one that doesn't feel huge.

The first desk is a drafting desk, and it's going for 75. I've used it for a few years, and it's served me great.

The second desk is a sturdy, trestle desk, made out of hardwood. This one is close to brand new, and its going for 250.

We live right off Cortelyou, in an elevator building. We can disassemble the desks to make it easier for you to pick them up too.

If you have questions, email me at:

Yard available?

I just adopted a little dog (under 10 lbs) and am looking to find a fenced yard in the neighborhood that I might be able to arrange to take her to play for 20-30minutes each week for a small fee. A fully-fenced area would allow her to run around off lead and have some fun in a way that she can't during her daily walks. (She is too fragile for dog parks unfortunately...). Rest assured, there would be no trace of her presence left behind in your yard afterwards. If you have a yard and this is of interest, please email me at ditmasyard@yahoo.com.  Thanks!

Apt. for rent

Hi all, we have a furnished (or un if you prefer) apt. on the first floor of our victorian home here in Ditmas Park available for a 6 month lease starting Jan 1st. We have been trying to use it as a vacation rental, but are finding that somewhat time consuming in our already busy lives, so thought we'd try and see if someone needs a short term place.  Start and end dates are semi flexible. Rent includes access to front porch (yard in back negotiable), laundry in basement, wi fi and basic cable. This is a perfect apt. for a couple, but open to other situations as well.  We live upstairs with our 2 children and are friendly, but respectful of our tenants. Rent is $1900 per month and water and gas are also inluded. Electric is your responsibility. We will need first and one month security and will do a credit and reference check. Please be prepared to show proof of employment and income.   Rent could be negotiated if you don't care for cable tv or wi fi access. Please send all inquiries to Dancingfairygal@gmail.com  and I will get back to you. Thanks!
