Tumbleweed & Poppleswamp Gets a New Site

Screenshot from the new www.tumbleandpopple.com site

If you had asked me this past Sunday if I had any intention of releasing a new website this week I would have asked you where you got that crazy idea. A few conversation later I became obsessed with the Tumbleweed & Poppleswamp website. And now, on Thursday, I present to you the new website.

In addition to looking better you can also shop through the website, read the blog and keep up with all things Tumbleweed & Poppleswamp. In the coming weeks expect to see the addition of a custom made dress option which we are in the process of preparing right now.

New Vintage Goodies in Deserted Treasures!

I have been hoarding quite a stash of vintage goodies at Tumbleweed & Poppleswamp for the past month or so. Joel was good enough to take some gorgeous photos so they could be added to our Etsy shop Deserted Treasures. Finally, a day where I could post them all! Click on any of the photos below for more details.

What I’ve been up to

Its been busy busy around these parts. I thought I’d give you a run down of the projects I’m currently working on.

Health Counseling

Besides working with some amazing clients in my private practice I’ve just started a new group of students from The Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I love being a health coach for first year students at IIN. It is amazing to get to know such interesting and intelligent people. It also really deepens my counseling skills. I also like the chance to stay involved with a school that played such a transformational role in my own life.

A great thing that came out of the week of counseling was listening to what some of my soon to be colleagues with digestive disorders and autoimmune disorders are doing to manage their health. During the course of the week I was reminded of a diet that I had looked into ages before knowing I had celiac. Upon re-examining this diet it lead to others and I found some really interesting work and diets for digestive disorders. It has inspired me to refocus my diet. I’ll be writing more about this in the coming weeks I’m sure.

Marketing

My work helping small businesses get connected to their customers has been particularly busy the past few weeks as I get some new clients up and running. I’ve been working on lots of newsletters. Good practice for my own newsletter of which I’m planning on sending out this week! If you have not signed up for my newsletter yet be sure to do so soon, I’ll be sending out some great specials. Do so here if you have not yet.

Deserted Treasures

The new Etsy vintage shop Joel and I started, Deserted Treasures has been going great. We’ve been making lots of great finds and having steady sales considering how young the shop is. Here are some of our newest items:

Drawing

While I’ve bee a bit too busy to finish any new pieces the past few weeks I’ve been making sure that my other pieces are easily accessible. I added more prints to my other Etsy shop, Put Your Hands to Work.

I’ve also steadily been adding more work to Red Bubble including a new t-shirt which I am particularly fond of.

Deserted Treasures

Joel and I have been working on a little project together the past few months. We’ve always enjoyed perusing junk sales, tag sales, garbage bins and thrift stores. We’ve been accumulating a nice little trove of objects and clothing. We’ve decided to share some of our finds in a new Etsy shop, Deserted Treasures.

Joel has been busily photographing and editing photos so we could add our first group of goods. I just finished uploading some items. There will be more to come over the coming weeks! You can get a sneek peak below.
