Lepley & Co.

03/13/2025

Bring your leftover or gently used craft supplies to Lepley & Co. in Northside Marketplace during the Akron ArtWalk this Thursday, 3/13 from 5-9pm and swap them out for something new-to-you!

Choose from tons of materials including dozens of yarn options, buttons, candle fragrance oils, wreath mesh/ribbon, and plenty more!

Lots of additional supplies/tools available for use on-site (not to take home!) such as a button press, paint, jewelry making supplies, and hot glue guns.

No supplies to trade? No problem! Fill a bag for a $5 Donation to the Lepley & Co. Cares Fund so we can keep bringing on the fun!

***Please consider this a soft launch of the Craft Library that will be expanded in the future. We need YOU to help gauge what crafts supplies are wanted/needed and what items we should source :)

Our last reminder of the Valentine’s season- please take a moment to leave your florist a review🌹

Most people only take the time to write reviews when they have something negative to say, so please take a couple of minutes out of your day to fight the negativity and send complements to the florist shop who created your Valentine’s arrangement. It means more than you realize to small businesses and the people who take pride working in them 🖤

🌹(TW: Dating Violence)

We wanted to take a moment to touch on something serious that happens in relation to the holiday, and that’s receiving Valentine’s gifts from an unwelcome or unsafe sender.

It’s rare, but we have a had cases at the shop where a recipient contacts us to inform us that the person who sent them an arrangement is not a safe person and that they absolutely do not want to receive anything from them. When this happens, we immediately blacklist the customer and will not allow them to send you anything. If the order came from an order gather (1-800-Flowers, Teleflora, etc) we notify customer support and ask them to do the same. But unfortunately, that’s the end of what we can do to help in that moment.

We hope you never need them, but in case you find yourself the victim of dating violence - or maybe you’re not even sure if what you’re going through is considered dating violence- we wanted to share a few relevant resources that may be able to help. Additionally, if you know of organizations who would be helpful, please tag them or provide their information in the comments.

Lepley & Co. presents a short, shareable guide to ordering flowers this Valentine’s Day 🌹

Please share this information with your partners and friends, and make sure they know to order directly from a local florist shop for Valentine’s Day blooms (any beyond)! We’d love if that was us, but if you’re not local or have some other reason you can’t order from Lepley & Co. please please please find another local shop.

When you order online from websites like 1-800-Flowers or Teleflora, you’re giving your money to large, out of state corporations who take a cut and send your order to a local florist, meaning you’re paying more money for less value. Please keep your money local and support the shops who give back to your community. 🖤

It feels strange to post about plants and flowers when the world around us feels like it’s on fire. But we know that in difficult times, even small treats—like picking up flowers or grabbing a coffee—can bring a little comfort. As a small business, we’ll keep showing up, creating a welcoming space, and doing what we can to support our community.

Just know that, behind it all, we’re here for you. If you need a place to breathe, to feel welcome, or just to exist, our doors are open. We’re not changing who we are, we’re not compromising our values, and we’re not hiding that. There’s a reason “Safe Space” is printed on everything we create.

With so much love,

Justin, Bri, and the entire Lepley & Co. Team

Meet Mallory (she/her), a florist at our Uniontown Art Lan location! Mallory began her plant journey over ten years ago with houseplants- her current favorite being trailing/vining plants. Her favorite part of working at LCO is creating beautiful arrangements and making real genuine connections with our customers. Outside of work you can find her creating art, volunteering with local animal rescues (or loving on her own critters), and enjoying nature, sunsets, and good vegan food!
