I was thrilled when I was contacted by Carmen over at Pookie Town Designs for a blog review and giveaway! I am always in the market for cute hair pieces that are affordable for my sweet Sophia Grace!!
Pookie Town Designs stocks pinwheel bows, big, stacked bows, felt flower clips, baby headbands, ponytail streamers, appliqued onesies .... you name it, she can make it for your little "pookie!" :)
Here is a little info on the Etsy Shop owners:
"We are a mother-daughter team who enjoys making things for little Pookies. Carmen (the daughter) is an (almost) 33 year old stay-at-home-mom to 3 small Pookies. She is the creator of Pookietown Designs and enjoys making bows, clips, ponytail streamers, and all manner of girly hair items. Margi (the mother) is a young-at-heart librarian and former owner of a scrapbook shop. She contributes gorgeous appliqued onesies to Pookietown. "
Carmen sent me a Pookie Pack full of adorable pieces to try out on my "pookie!"

| Top to Bottom, L to R: Petal Pookie Flower Clip, Mon Petit Baby Headband, Red Preppy Pookie Pinwheel Bow, Pookie Posy Felt Hair Clip, and White Pookie Princess Bow (shown below) |
Petal Pookie Flower Clip: Mounted on a single-prong alligator clip with a sparkly center. It is great worn alone or on any headband or hat! It runs about $5.00.
Mon Petit Baby Headband: Newborn-sized, although fits older babies as well. As you can see in the picture below of the backs, it has a super-soft 5/8 in fold-over elastic to avoid marks on the head! It runs $10.00.
Red Preppy Pookie Pinwheel Bow: 1 1/2 in grosgrain ribbon, hand-folded, hand-sewn, heat-sealed to prevent fraying, baked and lightly starched (to hold shape). It has a chunky, French-knotted center and a non-slip grip for those girls with fine hair (make sure to request the non-slip grip)! It is mounted on a partially-lined, single-prong alligator clip. It also looks good alone or on any kind of headband or crocheted hat! It runs $4.00.
Pookie Posy Felt Hair Clip: Mounted on a partially-lined, single-prong alligator clip, with a sparkly center! Worn alone or with headband or hat! It runs $5.00.
Pookie Princess Bow: 2 stacked bows, make like the red Preppy Pookie. For extra stability, it is mounted on a double-prong alligator clip. It runs $7.00.

My Review: I was really impressed with the craftsmanship of these bows/clips! You can tell they are all homemade with tons of TLC! So often I find people that just buy pre-made bows from the store, slap an alligator clip on them, and sell them for 5x what they paid for them! Carmen put a lot of time and effort into making these clips last through the normal wear and tear with a young girl!
- I LOVE the double-alligator clip on the big bow. It honestly makes the bow stay in her hair SO MUCH BETTER! We always struggle to find bows that will stay in her thick, yet stick-straight hair!
- The headband design is the best I have ever seen! I love the felt circle covering to minimize or avoid marks on the head! That is my biggest complaint with most headbands on the market today ... they always leave a mark on her head!
- Carmen's prices are VERY affordable! I love it!! I love that she has a variety of products at all ends of the "affordable" price spectrum!
- The customer service is fantastic! The bows came shipped in a nice size box to protect them from getting smashed! I didn't have to reshape any of them! A lot of this has to do with the excellent craftsmanship with the bows as well (heat-sealed, baked, and lightly starched).
- Versatility: I love the fact each of these items can be worn in so many different combinations (hats, headbands, alone, etc). I love that aspect!
