Are you looking for unique house items, clothing or gifts? This weekend marks the third 'Made in the 216 event hosted by Room Service's Danielle DuBoe. This event takes place in and around Room Service on W. 65th and Detroit.
You will be surrounded by local artists, 41 to be exact, along with local bakeries, restaurants and bands all vying to show you what is unique and special about the 216.
I attended the November event and it was fantastic. Many locally themed gifts to be had including t-shirts, cards and coasters...just a small spattering of unique finds to be had.

Spreading 'joy' and a little bit of fame throughout the land
While this is not directly a Cleveland related posting, it does have at least some representations While listening to NPR (what else do I listen to) this past weekend, I heard a fantastic story about a man and an idea. He had a friend who was sick and eventually yielded to his sickness. As a memorial, Jeff Woodrow, Founder of Joy t-shirt, decided to sketch out his friend'sface and wear it on a t-shirt. As he wore his shirt around town, people starting inquiring about his shirt, wondering who the person was...an idea formed. What is Jeff was able to take people's photos, sketch them out and put them onto t-shirts? Well, it has worked. Currently, you can purchase a t-shirt on his site. Once you have purchased a shirt you can send him your photo to sketch and your face will likely end up on someone else's body..er...I mean shirt.
You can pick from different continents, or do a keyword search for specific people, places and passions. While the shirts are not the cheapest thing you will ever buy ($29.95 for a t-shirt and $31.95 for a bamboo tank - Canadian dollars), they are different, certified organic and probably the most unique thing you will ever own...that is until this amazing venture takes off and random faces are adorned throughout the land.
