she fell in love with the drummer
Quick Recap/Highlights!
- The show started with new track, “Wilco” which is a jam.
- Tweedy looked disheveled as always, at one point sporting a Brewers hat which sent Cubs fans into a booing uproar.
-Nels Cline was the gangly guitar god that he always is. Amazing!
-The crowd was LAME. 3/4 of the “fans” sat through the entire show. Thumbs down.
-They played lots of crowd pleasers…my favorites being “Theologians” in the 1st encore, a fantastic guitar solo during “Impossible Germany,” and kick ass version of “You Are My Face.”
Pics and more commentary after tonights show!
It is finally time! The next two evenings will be spent in pure bliss, because Wilco is marching into Milwaukee to dazzle us in all their rocknroll glory. I can’t quite explain the excitement…but to be clear, Jeff Tweedy (lead singer) is the one celebrity I’m allowed to run off with if given the opportunity. Wilco makes me happy. Musically, they’re so badass that I can’t even wrap my head around it. So you get it now? I’m excited…and I will be in alt-country heaven for the next few days.
Today’s selections are inspired by these two shows. I think they’re all amazing. One third rock and roll, one third girly vintage and a final third hippie chic to make the perfect outfit for a Wilco show at the Pabst Theater. If I can get a camera in, I’ll post some photos later this week!!

Sendin some Easter lovin
I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter Sunday complete with ham, family and all the Easter goodies. (I LOVE those solid chocolate Cadbury eggs. Mmm.) It is always nice to reconnect and spend some quality time with those that are important to us. I’m so thankful for days like this.
Going with the lovey-dovey tone, here is a fun little photo taken of Thadman and me at a recent event at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Isn’t that beard fabulous? He’s pretty handsome, I must say…but who is that little girl kissing on him?

Spring Sorbet on the Front Page
Congratulations to everyone included in my most recent Etsy treasury, “Spring Sorbet.” The treasury made it to the super cool front page…which makes these crafty kids practically celebrities. Here are the two screen shots I was able to sneak earlier in the day. Show some love.
I am also feeling bad that three of my selections for the treasury did not make it to the FP, because they sold too quickly. (That is how awesome these people are! Selling things left and right.) So I picked something new to love from each of their shops….check them out.

Do I look different to you?
You may or may not have noticed that I was MIA for a few days. Its all for a good reason though…look around…PaperMichelle got a sweet facelift! I’m so excited because my blog can actually function like a blog now…go figure. Anyway, I’m really excited about the site…couldn’t wait to get back to it though.
New Mother's Day card!
Over the past few blogless days I’ve been hard at work completing custom and wholesale orders, working on some designs for Mother’s/Father’s Day (see here and here and above) and assembling a fun spring time treasury. You know the drill…click, click, click.
I’m so glad to be back up and running. I can’t even tell you.
For Old Times Sake…
I am always pleasantly surprised with the fantastic things I discover in Etsy vintage. Whether its a set of Pyrex dinner ware or a pair of maryjanes, there’s always something that gets me fired up. Here are some oldies, but goodies that are just gorgeous.
And remember…fabulous vintage finds are earth friendly. Be kind.
