Scoutie Girl*

Check out this great website Scoutie Girl. They featured my heart necklace and some other great handmade finds in the "a dude’s guide to shopping handmade". Enjoy! About... Scoutie Girl scours the world of independent craft & design and puts the best – or at least our favorites – right here for the world to see. we believe in the power of independence, the power of creation, the power of handmade to change the world. we believe that mass-production and rampant consumerism have created a culture that is hungry for “more” & “cheap” – we believe that handmade can change that, reconnect us with our fellow (wo)man and put life back into a bit of perspective.

my heart made it

Seven Ply made the front page of Etsy.com again. One of my recycled skateboard heart necklaces made the cut :)

Front Page

Seven Ply was featured on the front page of ETSY last night! :) Here is a peek at what made the cut... Bling Bling custom Ring!!!!

Snowed in at the PRFM

The Punk Rock Flea Market in Philly went off during the biggest winter storm in December ever, so they say. We had almost 24 inches of snow outside my house the morning of and the roads were really bad. My husband had my son out early with a home made sled... one of his broken surfboards and it seemed that we were snowed in for the day. I almost skipped the show this year to play in the snow and snuggle up with the family. The guys running the show said it was still on and they werent refunding your money. I didn't think I would make it there but we did. By the time I set up my table it was 1pm :( but I still did well. Looking forward to the next one. Here are a couple blurry iPhone photos from that day.

Happy New Year

Thanks to everyone that helped make Seven Ply a success in 2009. Happy New Year!

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!
