Grateful Thread
Pookilicious Hair Accessories
Your hemp finery and Grateful Dead CDs are collecting dust. But you’ll never forget the fun you had as Hippie Barbie.
Now it’s Junior’s turn to face the music.
Help her dress the part in an oh so sweet way with Pookilicious hair accessories. Local designer Julia Valdesalice once logged time making patchwork dresses. Now she’s parlayed her boho-chic sensibility into creating embellished clips, headbands, and ponytail holders.
Craftiness runs in the family, and Valdesalice’s mother adds her hand-crocheted cotton caps to the collection. In varying colors and styles, they can be custom fit.
Nothing phishy about that.
Available at Down 2 Earth Kids, 418 Germantown Pike, Lafayette Hill (610-941-3336); online at pookilicious.com.
