This East Passyunk Avenue boutique offers a whimsical selection of gifts and party supplies. South Philly artist Sara Selepouchin, who was trained as an architect, opened Occasionette in 2013 as a way to expand her online business. She has been selling fun, quirky diagram drawings under the label Girls Can Tell since 2005, and her shop offers her entire line of items, as well as a selection of other offerings from makers from around the country.

You’ll find reusable recycled cotton lunch bags, baby onesies, bar and tableware, notebooks, cards, temporary tattoos, and tea towels. Girls Can Tell wares are all printed in the U.S., and many are printed in the studio attached to the shop. Items not printed in-house are handled by local, independent printers. Also, you’re welcome to bring your dog into the shop.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Mondays; 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays; and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays.
