I have been playing with a lot of new designs recently for Tumbleweed & Poppleswamp. I am working on good layering pieces for fall and adding more and more sleeves into the line. Click on images for purchasing information.
Tumbleweed & Poppleswamp is going to the Renegade Craft Fair Holiday Market in Austin!!! For people in the Austin area this show will be an amazing opportunity to support artists and crafters directly with your holiday shopping.
I will be sharing a booth with my talented Christmas Twin, Ben Blanchard. Ben will be selling his art and other lovely creations. I will be bringing handmade clothing and note cards.
If you come to the show and mention this blog post I will give you 20% off of any of my items you purchase at the show. Hope to see you there!
I realized that it has been awhile since I shared any recent sewing projects. In honor of the beginning of my sewing class tonight I thought I’d share some new Mellifluous Couture handmade clothing.

Cantaloupe Linen Ruffle Collar Dess - Large

Red Linen Isadora Smock Dress - Large

Sage Green Pleat Dress w/ Lace Details - Small
I’ve just opened an Etsy shop, Mellifluous Couture, for a clothing line I started in Brooklyn 10 years ago. I’ve been back to designing for quite awhile now but have only been selling through my own brick & mortar gallery. It was high time to make these items available online again.
As a celebratory off I’m giving you a coupon for 20% to use before September 15th. Use code “celebration” and get 20% off everything in the Mellifluous Couture Etsy shop.
I’ve been working on lots of new dress designs as of late. I’m working on filling up the rack at Tumbleweed & Poppleswamp. I’m still working towards opening a dress shop on-line, as I used to with Mellifluous Couture. I’ve even been thinking that I will do the line in fabric which I design myself.
For now, here are some of the new pieces I’ve been creating.
