Oh, the everyday cute! These ornaments are either a very simple and an obvious DIY or a good reason to get out and support one local Etsy vendor.
For those of you not in the Chicago metro area, these tree ornaments are felty versions of our beloved CTA.

Domino Visits Chicago!
We love Domino magazine and now we love them a little bit more. They're venturing away from their NYC home to come to Chicago and give us a weekend full of design fun. Domino Design District 2008 is going to own Lincoln Park this weekend (June 7 & 8). Saturday is packed with editor meet-ups and workshops - all open to the public and all FREE! I'm most looking forward to the flower arranging lesson at Jayson Home and Garden at 1pm. To see all the happenings, click HERE.
The other nifty part of this event is that over 40 stores are offering special discounts all weekend long. Art Effect, Jonathan Adler, Lori's Shoes, LUSH...the list of stores and discounts continues HERE. Visit the Domino Design District site to download your shopping guide/map and we'll see you there!

New Blogger on the Block: Strange Closets
I heart the internet!!T8 from Strange Closets recently emailed Cardboard and me asking us to check out his new blog. I saw he had several posts about Andersonville and Edgewater (two neighborhoods on the north side of Chicago) and his profile mentioned he owned a two flat in Edgewater (my hood). After some emailing back and forth, turns out T8 and I live kitty corner from each other across our alleys! Small freakin' world!!!
Reasons why I love Strange Closets and you should too:
1. I thought I knew a lot about cool places around Chicago, but T8 has clued me into some pretty awesome places. Like here, here, here and here.
2. He has best taste in chairs! I direct you here, here, and here.
3. He's got style! Check out the amazing renovation on his 2 flat.
4. He's a good teacher and has some great posts on design movements, classic furniture, and designers.
