Reading, P.A (r.i.p)

I was thinking today about when Denis (my rad husband) and I met. I had to drive his car this afternoon and he had a CD in that brought memories of the past flooding back. The shows we would go to, the endless skate parks and the surf trips. This July we will be celebrating our 10th year of marriage! We have had some really fun times. Like the time we drove miles to find this old pool in Reading P.A that was going to be demolished in a few days. He HAD to skate it...one last time. We have seen our share of sunny days and some cloudy but have stuck together through it all. He is my encourager and best friend. Thank you Denis...for the adventures!

Go GATOR'S !

I recently had a custom order for a matching Vintage Wave scarf and beanie using the Florida Gator colors. Here is a couple photos of the finished product and the cute miss Jenna who ordered it (thank you). If you would like a custom item from either of my shops just let me know. ~ Lynn

Check out Jenna's Etsy shop Miss Priss where you can find handmade bracelets, headbands and more.

Hooray!

A very cool recycled skateboard mustache necklace made it into Etsy's gift guide today. Hooray! Thank you to the beautiful miss Hallie! Get your custom stach today... The Stach SOLD already so it is no longer in the gift guide but here the photo that was featured.

Acorns and Leaves

Check out the latest Christmas Ornaments from SEVEN PLY. Acorns and Maple leaves! The two acorns are sold as a set and are solid pink on the backs. How cute will they look on your Christmas tree.

Punk ROCK Flea Market in PHILLY!!! tomorrow..

*THIS* Saturday July 11th 9:00am-4:00pm AND Sunday July 12th 10:00am-5:00pmAt The Starlight Ballroom (460 N 9th Street - 9th & Spring Garden-ish)All Ages / 21+ To Drink / $3 Entry Donation (Good for both days)
It's that time again for the bi-annual (twice a year) PUNK ROCK FLEA MARKET! Our most popular reoccurring event/show/whatever (by far). We had over 4000 visitors and 100+ tables of old records, clothes, art, music, food, junk, bicycles, stereo equipment, instruments, automobiles, tools, posters, furniture, computers, skateboards and lots of other stuff this past February. It's all going down this weekend at The Starlight Ballroom (right below 9th & Spring Garden Sts)To meet the increasing demand of people wanting to sell their stuff at this – we have spread it out over two days for this upcoming weekend : Saturday July 11th and Sunday July 12th. Each day will have entirely different sellers (not a single repeat seller). Your admission donation is good for both days, so you can come in and out as many times as you would like over the weekend! In addition there will be much more room to shop compared to flea markets in the past as we eliminated 25 or so tables from the usual set up (but since it's over two days, there are more total tables...get it?)All proceeds raised will go towards the purchase of necessary equipment and supplies to ensure that all ages shows continue to remain a reality at The First Unitarian Church in Philadelphia - mainly an annual payment for their liability insurance policy. The left over funds will goto purchasing a new smaller PA system so we can do a few smaller shows at all ages space this fall (instead of doing them in our 21+ venues). Do not let the "name of the event" lead you to believe that it's just punk records, clothes etc. - it's a full on flea market with everything from furniture, to laptops / computers , to stereo equipment, to handmade apparel, to vegan treats, information from various non profit groups, book stores, artists selling their work, bicycles & skateboards and whatever else they can fit onto the ballroom floor at The Starlight BallroomIn addition to the normal flea market stuff there will also be a full bar and food service kitchen to make the day go by a little faster as well as a rotating shift of WKDU DJsTAKE A LOOK AT THE SELLERS LIST :http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=9998717&msgid=157705&act=HZUT&c=202611&admin=0&destination=http://www.r5productions.com/prfm.html

White Apricot

Seven Ply was just featured as a "So Hot" product on WhiteApricot.com . White Apricot is a website and online newsletter that is your “go to” place for the latest trends, news and information on eco fashion, organic skin care and natural cosmetics, as well as other cool eco and socially conscious products and services to incorporate into your lifestyle


SO HOT!

Cool Jewelry, Dude

Just because you may have outgrown guys on skateboards, doesn’t mean you can’t appreciate a cool piece of recycled skateboard jewelry. Seven Ply (named after the seven layers of a skateboard) is “turning thrash’n into fashion” by rescuing, recycling and reusing broken, discarded boards to create fashion statements. The colorful, perfect summer accessory, one-of-a-kind bracelets, earrings and necklaces have a cool, eighties retro thing happening. We think it’s “rad” that each one has a unique history. You never know what dude rode the board that is now hanging around your neck. From $16 - $52, check them out at www.sevenplydesigns.com.

MagnifECO dot COM

CHECK OUT ---> MagnifECO.com it is an awesome ECO BLOG that featured Seven Ply for "Handmade Thrusday"

About Magnifeco: Corporate social responsibility is sweeping through companies big and small across the globe; taking more time to develop products that are responsible, sustainable, recycled, organic and/or diminished in their damage to our planet. If you have to buy something, shouldn’t it be from a company that is making an effort. Buying with ethics shouldn’t mean you have to sacrifice aesthetics. This blog is my ultimate wish list - and homage to those companies. I think we are what we buy.
