She was brilliant and fearless about altering and repurposing existing doll fashions to create new ensembles! The Couture Touch is still up. You can find it in the Favorite Places section here on the SC. I would imagine that when payment for the site hosting has expired, all of her content will disappear. So while it still exists, do go for a visit and enjoy the fabulous fashions she documented and created!

RIP to a truly creative soul. Her photos and blog were so inspirational and just...beautiful.

Monthly meeting of the Olympic Penisula Doll Club - for show and tell I brought two newly acquired dolls by Melissa. The club members were fascinated, inspecting the sewing, the shoes , hats and accessories closely. I told them about her web site and many made it a point to get the url. So very sorry to hear this.

So sorry to learn this. Her blog is so well loved and informative.
