It's been awhile since I've posted an update, my apologies. Lots of changes around here in the last while, but the Etsy.com shop is still busy and orders are getting filled! My day job, school schedule, and co-parenting taking up most of my time, so some orders may be delayed, but I will do my best to keep customers up to date, and let me know if you need something by a certain date for a gift etc! I have had so many orders for Guitar Straps that I ran out of material, so I will renew the listing when I restock. I need a very specific size and quality used bike tube for these, so it may be a little while, as I want to make sure that you are all getting the best quality gear from my shop!<br />
<br />
During the Pandemic, I will still be making and sending out orders! My policy is to wash/sanitize my hands in and out of the studio space, and all products also get washed. USPS put out a statement saying that they are considered essential and intend to make sure packages get delivered through the emergency. If this changes, I'm sure we will all hear about it. If you have any specific concerns, let me know! <br />
<br />
I hope you are all staying safe at home out there, thanks friends!!Black Ship Cycleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03567158453660223529noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058241695957619725.post-33243582954365834502018-01-02T19:44:00.001-08:002018-01-03T07:29:32.076-08:002018 Update: Open for the winter!2018 Update: The shop is open for the rest of winter, as we are all moved and settled in (mostly) and I am spending much of my time indoors anyways!! Check the Etsy.com shop for new updates, items, and many ready to ship items. We will be focusing more of our time on ready to ship and less on custom orders. We love custom work, but we have also found that scheduling time to do them is tough when our time with our family and day-jobs responsibilities comes at a premium.<br />

"<b>New Plans for Old Canada Dry Bottling Plant</b><br />
At the
corner of 28th St. E and 36th Ave. S, in the Longfellow neighborhood,
sits a cream brick building with a beautifully curved glass block
entrance. The building, designed by Walter M. Cory of New York and built
by Fred R. Comb Co. of Minneapolis and the George J. Grant Construction
Co. of St. Paul, was completed in 1946 as a bottling plant for the
Canada Dry Ginger Ale, Inc. The plant, which served a newly formed
Minneapolis Division for the firm, provided 70,000 sq ft of floor space
for the bottling of ginger ale, sparkling water, cola, lemon drinks, and
other carbonated beverages, and employed 60 people. </blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
In 1948 the
building was sold to the Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York, but was
leased by Canada Dry through 1970. From 1971-1979 the building was
leased by Shasta Beverages, another American soft drink manufacturer.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<br />
Following
use by the bottling companies, the building was occupied by Western
Electric Co. from 1981-1986 <b>and then by a multitude of small businesses
and artists studios including graphic designers, blacksmiths, and
musicians, which is how the building remains in use today.</b></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Recently, Hiawatha Academies,
a Minneapolis charter school, purchased the building. This summer they
plan to start construction on a new high school, for which they plan to
reuse close to half of the existing building, including the glass block
entrance.<i>"</i></blockquote>

Its compact profile is<br />
more conducive to a compact and active lifestyle.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/your/shops/BlackShipCrafts/tools/listings/239343887" target="_blank">Black Ship Crafts: BI-Fold No Sew Wallet on Etsy.com</a> <br />
<br />
Some critiques of the tri-fold led me to make a more compact wallet that was more 'packable,' easy to tuck in your jersey or frame bag for short trips or commutes. It is also a rivet-only wallet, meaning no hand sewn seams.<br />
<br />
Last year I made a prototype, and after using it for over 6 months, I decided that it is ready to launch.<br /><br />Water resistant, made with the best quality upcycled bike inner tubes.<br />____________________________________________________________<br />Features:<br /><br />-Silver OR Black & Gold profile<br />

<br />
<br />
We're streamlining operations here at BlackShipCrafts, making some adjustments, cleaning up shop, and getting ready for an awesome summer. <br />
<ul>
<li>Listings are currently offline, but will be available as soon as we have updated everything to fit with our shop updates.</li>
<li>Beginning May 2014, all orders will ship out the first Tuesday of the following month. </li>
<li>Sizing is now easier: </li>
<ul>
<li>Choose men's, women's, or children's XS,S,M,L,XL, or XXL from the drop down menu.</li>
<li>Consult the size chart if you are unsure of what to order. </li>
</ul>
<li>If you need custom sizing or custom work, just email us. Email is checked every Friday.</li>
<li>Email with any comments, questions, or concerns. We look forward to hearing from you! </li>
</ul>
Most importantly...<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Our first New Item for 2014! </b></u></span><br />
Oak trees have always inspired me to grow, and to respect both the wise and old, as well as the young and nimble in all walks of life. An old friend that passed had a tattoo of gracefully falling white oak leaves, and the image is forever ingrained in me as a peaceful one.<br />
These <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/176278812/earrings-oak-leaves" target="_blank">Oak Leaf Earrings</a> will gracefully hang from your lobes, cut from a bike tube that once rolled someone along their way.<br />
Leave a note if you want a specific clasp. Cheers!

We should be stocked up on most everything we offer as a shop, along with a few one of a kind items and some other arts and crafts we make.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We will also have extras and tools on to make/customize anything on the spot, which is a service we attempt to offer at any fair we attend.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To see the array of products we offer, visit our <a href="http://blackshipcrafts.blogspot.com/p/bike-tube-gear.html" target="_blank">blogger products page</a> or our <a href="http://blackshipcrafts.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy.com shop</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As far as one of a kind stuff; we'll have some hand made earrings from Natalie's <a href="http://blackbirdworkshop.etsy.com/" target="_blank">BlackBird Workshop</a>, hand made belts with vintage plate buckles, and some more colorful versions of our standard products.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do to the limited amount of time we have available, I doubt you will see anything from the <a href="http://blackshipcycles.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Black Ship Cycles</a> shop, but feel free to ask about projects, custom frames, etc. See you there!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>We're going to have a ton of crafts from all of the Black Ship shops! </b></span></div>
<br />
Since we don't have our own 'store front' shop, this will be our chance to introduce to you in person our <i>complete 2012 line and new stuff for 2013</i>. We'll have a wide range of customized options for all of our 2012 products, with sweet vintage belt buckles, new colorful chain link bracelets and colorful link integrated u-lock holsters, lots of spikes and studs, and more surprises!<br />
<br />
We're looking forward to seeing you there, where you can take a piece from our handmade shop home with you, and in doing so, <i>support handmade crafts and a locally produced eco-friendly cottage industry</i> that also goes easy on your wallet.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">See you at the Midtown Global Market on <i><b>NOVEMBER 17th</b></i> for the <a href="http://www.doitgreen.org/" target="_blank">Do It Green! Minnesota</a> <a href="http://www.doitgreen.org/gifts-fair" target="_blank">2012 Green Gifts Fair!!!</a></span></div>

forward for customers, I split up the BSC blog into a Craft blog and a Cycles blog. In
the next couple of weeks, I'll be moving cycle building and repair posts over from the Crafts
blog to the Cycles blog, and posting new updates on work going on in the Black Ship Crafts
shop as we get ready for the 'gift giving' season. stay tuned!!<br />
