Aloha and welcome!

GIFT CERTIFICATES AVAILABLE
Short on time?  No worries.  Certificates can be sent via e-mail.
(A ready-to-print certificate can be sent to you to present personally or e-mailed to the recipient.)

         If this is your first visit, this page will tell you how to order, et cetera.  The next page explains my newest wearable art creation:  Fringe Beaded Bracelets.
         
         I've gone crazy for the bracelets and I think you will love them.  The prices are well below what you would expect to pay at a brick-and-mortar merchant, and if you do some comparison shopping (I found similar bracelets priced $65-$120), I believe that you will agree that my prices are quite reasonable.  Friends, family and repeat customers are always offered generous discounts.  (I consider all Kama'aina to be part of my Ohana.) 

         Feel free to browse.  If things are going well, the links to the left should take you to the various pages.   I keep fooling around with the site and sometimes the result is that I've made it worse instead of better, so your patience is appreciated. 

         The Kona house sold (thank Heavens), so we are now living in Florida. I am now able to work on any and all orders.

        I was fooling around with the website every 10 days or so, but lightning fried two computers and the server, so I've been lax in updating, but the odds are that I'll never be satisfied.  Whenever I get a new idea for a bracelet or something I add it, and tweak everything else a little.   

        For those of you who have not worked with me before, the process to make a purchase is pretty simple:  If you'd like something created especially for you, send me an e-mail.  (If you need a reference, I can put you in touch with some of my happy customers around the country.)  I insist that no payment be made until your items are finished.  At that point, I'll send you a photo via e-mail for your approval.  If you are satisfied with my creation, I'll send an invoice and you'll send payment.  The item will be shipped upon receipt of your payment. 

        I accept payment via personal checks, money orders and Paypal.  (With prior notice, I can accept credit or debit card payments via Paypal, but I will add a processing and handling fee to the invoice.  On bracelets, the fee is $2.00 per bracelet.)  I normally ship via USPS Priority which runs $4.60 unless you purchase something heavy, like a lot of soap.  For heavy orders, flat-rate boxes (or even using FedEx) can help to keep the cost down.  You'll never pay more than the actual shipping charge. 

        How long does it take?  Nearly everything I do is custom so I don't have a lot of items that are ready to ship.  Please keep that (and shipping time) in mind if you need something by a specific date.  (Sometimes I do have some beaded fringe pieces worked up that just need to be sized, so don't hesitate to ask.  I usually have a few bars of soap around.  Silk, sometimes yes, sometimes no.  The thing is that I can't always keep ahead of my orders.)  A gift certificate is a good option if you're short on time.

        I'm a simple, one-wahine operation so delivery to you will always depend on my schedule.  Sometimes I have supply problems, so if I'm waiting for a shipment there will be a delay.  Your patience is appreciated.

       Thanks for dropping by to visit today.    Happy trails! (A hui hou! to my friends in Hawaii.)
