Give it up for the Heads of State

We are so excited to announce that we are carrying the entire Travel Poster serigraph series from design superstars, The Heads of State!

Jason Kernevich and Dustin Summers, from the noble town of Philly, have created a vibrant collection of 8 serigraphs of favorite US cities for your viewing pleasure. While they're all equally gorgeous, we can't stop ourselves from drooling over the Chicago print.  These 14x24 beauties are great pieces individually or as a mix and match set. As always, we'd be delighted to frame them up special for ya!

The set was designed from spot illustrations that the boys created for an issue of Real Simple magazine- if Martha approves, you know these puppies are fabulous!

Stop into Foursided Andersonville to check out the whole series, or pick up the Chicago print at Twosided & Foursided Lakeview.

Love is in the Cards

Foursided and Twosided are in love again- with a bevy of charming valentines!

Stop by and grab messages of love for those near and dear to you and send your love across the miles, no matter how far away they may be!

We have oodles of amazing new cards this year!

New comers Sapling Press from Pittsburg, PA, have swept us off of our feet with their witty one-liners. We couldn’t choose just one, they’re that good.

I Love You Like… // Sapling Press // $5.50

Mmmm… deliciously deep letter press…

We Go Together Like // Sapling Press // $5.50

Local stationer Ravensgoods is back at it again with their charmingly quaint notebook cards.
They make us want to puke a little. But, only because we love them so.

Notebook Valentines // Ravensgoods // $3.75

We are loving the honesty from Oddball Press along with the amazing ornamental envelopes. Express your love the only true way with violence, gifts, and the occasional dinosaur. Who needs flowers?

Awaiting Gifts & Love Punch // Oddball Press // $5.75

Extinct Love // Oddball Press // $5.75

Love is in the cards from Smock. These bright letter pressed cards have adorable coordinating patterns on the envelopes. It’s true.

Lobster ‘n’ Butter & Beer ‘n’ Lime // Smock. // $4.25

These retro inspired cards from Hello Lucky are the bee’s knees. They make us want to talk in corny puns all day.
Because we choo-choo-choooose too. [Insert picture of train here.]

Retro Inspired Valentines // Hello Lucky // $5.25

S + P // Hello Lucky // $5.25

If subtlety isn’t your cup of tea, we’ve got you covered. This one is sure to do the trick. If they say no the first time, there’s always the inside and the back which ask the same question. Third time’s the charm!

Wanna Do It? // Sapling Press // $5.50

Stop by and check out the rest of our treasures before they’re all gone… they’re moving fast!

Watch for our next post with more Valentines goodies.

Smart Framing for the Museum of Science and Industry

The Smart Home at the Museum of Science and Industry is the Greenest Home in Chicago! It is open to the public until January 8, 2012.

The Smart Home was designed by the Museum in collaboration with Andersonville's Scout. The industrial and Chicago themed art throughout the home was custom framed, as seen in these photos, by Foursided.

For more information about this exhibit, visit the Museum's website.

Wondering About Wandering?

Directionally challenged? New to the city and having a hard time finding your way? Can't seem to figure out which direction you need to walk after emerging from the 'L' (admit it, you got turned around just the other day)? Never fear, your friends at Foursided and Twosided have the answer to all your problems: The Chicago Compass by Kikkerland! This compass is clearly labeled, not in cardinal directions (what sense does Norh or East make when you are lost, anyhow?), but in Chicago neighborhoods. Need to walk East? Head in the direction of Lake Michigan! Heading West? Walk in the direction of Bucktown and be on your merry way. Compasses available at Foursided Andersonville and Twosided for $4.50. Getting lost has never been so fun!

Wait 'Til Next Year...

Baseballs and Softballs, $5-9 each.

Scrabble Letter Cubes, $1.25 each.

Reverse the Curse Vintage Goat Flashcards, $.90 - $4.99 each.

Another October is upon us, and Chicago baseball has left us empty handed. With no teams enjoying the postseason this year allow us to suggest some fun items to bide your time until April 2010. Whether you root for the Cubs or the White Sox, we are sure you will agree these gifts are fun for all!
