This week’s FEATURED VENDOR is …
Pooks & Lulu
Owners: Julia & Grammy Gram
Store : Fan Page
A little about Pooks & Lulu from owner Julia …
“I started Pooks and Lulu in 2010, after our second daughter (aka Lulu) was born. There was a very quick uptake which was both humbling and amazing. My mom (aka “grammy gram”) has been knitting and crocheting for years. I asked her to knit a few pieces for my shop and those few pieces turned into a steady work flow for her. Now we are a mother/daughter team! She was always my best friend but now that we share this business together, it is just such a gift.”
Review:
Please Note: The items reviewed were both donated and purchased.
PROS: The quality is just what you would expect from the images adorning Pooks & Lulu’s store and fan page … Amazing. Every little detail is attended to from the sweet packaging when it arrives to the craftsmanship of each piece.
Headbands …The rhinestones on the headbands are nice quality pieces and not cheap plastic. The backs are cleanly and professionally finished. Perfectly sized for newborns or older little girls.
Hats … Oh, the little hat was just sweetness knitted up. The yarn was soft with a bit of shimmer and I especially loved that the little bow was able to be moved or not used. It was beautifully knitted and perfectly sized.
CONS: The only con that I can think of is that the last time I ordered there was a substantial wait time. However, Pooks & Lulu have changed a little since then and they are only open once a week to reduce their turn around time.
Julia shared … “Since I am a mother first, I have had to cut down on the amount of orders coming in so that i can raise my 2 little ladies. We decided to only have the etsy shop open for 1 day a week. This has really given us the opportunity to focus on creating things (and less admin work) and has also allowed us to get orders out in a one week time frame (we were previously on a 3-4 week wait – yuck!!).”
