PaperMichelle on Venerate
Many thanks to Claudia over at Venerate Blog! She did a super-sweet feature of some of my work and I am so grateful! Check out her adorable, paper-loving blog.
NSS, Franks A Bun!
Ahh sweet, lovely, glorious paper.
I’ve been perusing all the blogs featuring the fab new stuff from NSS…and I must say, there are some really fantastic pieces this year. I really wish I would have gone and I’m hoping that I’ll be ready to exhibit this time next year. Bravo to all who took part and thanks to those reporting back for us drooling, green-with-envy paper lovers to see. By far, my FAVORITE has been this super simple, perfectly hilarious card from the always-whitty eggpress:

Paper Rabbits
I guess I’m thinking ahead to bunny season, because I kept coming across the best bunny-ish things tonight. Here are just a few of the uber-cute rabbit friends I stumbled upon…

Hello, Broadway Paper
I’ve been in love with Broadway Paper, a Milwaukee Third Ward gem, for years now. If you appreciate the tactile experience of fine paper, the sound of heels on a hardwood floor and the visual/emotional journey of good design…well…you’d love Broadway Paper too. It is a fabulous experience from start to finish, not to mention that they have the best wrapping paper and card selection this side of the Mississippi.
That said, imagine my surprise when Broadway Paper owner, Tracie, contacted me with a request to carry some PaperMichelle designs. After the initial disbelief…I cried, sobbed, laughed and thought…”Oh gosh, I have obligations to someone!” Gulp. I immediately packed up some of my little darlings, wrapped them in plum tissue paper and sent them off to their new home.
In honor of this milestone, my personal photographer (cough, cough…boyfriend) and I took a field trip to visit the babies at Broadway Paper. We brought the super-serious camera and snapped many a photograph. (I think we freaked out a couple customers that thought they were in the middle of a photo shoot…sorry, BP!) It was a blast, however surreal. I was absolutely thrilled to see the cards hanging out in such a beautiful shop. In fact, I can’t think of a better place for them.
