here at tumbleweed the line between customer and shop gal often blurs
we shop gals, of course, are frequent customers
but sometimes customers become shop gals, too... like karen, above
karen fills in for us time to time at tumbleweed and when she worked for us earlier this week, she wore a great "vintage" kara-line dress - a lela in a perfectly drapey rayon
is occasionally waged from the "man sofa" in the front of the shop
but when a gal looks this cute in a kara-line tunic, it's clear from the start how the debate will end
meagan went home with the new version of the kara-line mathilda
and her husband is glad she did
the tumbleweed gals may be smiling in this photo, but you better believe there's going to be some serious arguing over who gets to go home with the latest tumbleweed arrival... an adorable plaid coat by kial
lovely friend and customer, scarlet, stopped by tumbleweed to bring us a pretty fall leaf she'd picked up that reminded her of kara-line fabrics
while she was here, we asked her to model our new raincoats from denmark:
stay tuned for more styles tomorrow...
let robin loose on tumbleweed's racks and she chooses pretty, feminine dresses that she pairs with her jeans and boots to toughen them up a bit

jackie has been shopping at tumbleweed and really rocking her kara-line dresses for as long as i can remember
she'd told us about wearing one of her dresses to a chris isaak concert a couple years ago... a dress that she said got her noticed by chris himself
when she saw him perform this summer, she wore her newest kara-line dress - an adelle in a bright, summery bird print
clearly, she got noticed again!
a gal came into tumbleweed today who needed two dresses - one each for the rehearsal dinner and the wedding of a friend
she went home with a cute tess dress for the dinner and this beautiful kara-line molly dress with sleeves and vintage slip for the wedding:
every time they're in portland visiting from an island near seattle, the sweetest couple stops into tumbleweed
sam and sara really appreciate the design elements of the kara-line dresses as well as pieces by other designers that we carry here at the shop - he offers his opinions as she tries clothing on
this weekend at tumbleweed, sara found lots of pieces that looked great on her; she picked up a few things like leggings and a new belt that will help her wear her older pieces in new ways, too
she found this finn dress on friday to wear to the b-52s concert at the portland zoo that night - it's a perfect dress for a fun show in the middle of this hot summer
i mentioned how sweet the couple is - on saturday, they stopped back in the shop to tell us about the concert and to drop off a bottle of wonderful sea salt from portland's the meadow - lovely customers and special treats... the life of a shop gal isn't too bad!
seriously, there aren't words to say how cute sarah is in this finn dress (you might want to click on that photo to get a better view of the contrasting fabrics)
but she didn't go home with it... she opted instead for the newest kara-line design:
introducing betty, the adorable boat neck top, worn here with a great denim pencil skirt by red engine
brown linen - perfect for summer - is well-represented in the current kara-line collection
jessica got this adorable molly wrap which is great for wearing to garden parties
equally as cute over cuffed up jeans or leggings
