Pretties for Her Hair
Locks of golden, black, brown or red,
Tied back with ribbon so pretty;
Oh so lovely just for her Daddy,
Whether she is almost grown or just little bitty.
Sometimes we need something practical as we clean the floor or help Daddy rake the leaves. Other times something lovely and feminine is nice.
Every day at about 5:00 p.m., we all stop to "gussy up" for Daddy. I want to look my best, freshen up, change clothes or remove my apron... I often keep my hair pulled back in a bun or twist until it is time for my beloved to arrive home, then I take time to make sure that my hair settles in a manner that is pleasing to my husband. The girls wash their faces and brush their hair. Finding a nice ribbon or clip to match their dress is always part of "gussy-ing up" for Daddy.
I have had a difficult time finding clips or ribbons or headbands that are practical, yet lovely so I decided that I would just make them for all of Klause gals. They are easy to make with the purchase of the clips from a craft store, a little hot glue, a few buttons and some ribbon...
However, if you do not have time or do not want to make your own, I would be happy to make some for you. The charge: $1 plus shipping.
* One pair of clips will be $1.
* One hair ribbon, long enough to be tied as a headband, will also cost $1.
* I will charge only the actual shipping, which should always be less than $2 and most of the time less than $1.
Here are just a few:
Each style has a name so as to avoid confusion when ordering.
