THIS is where you should be buying ALL YOUR GIFTS AND SOUVENIRS! Such a rad little shop full of beautiful treasures. It’s a nonprofit hosting the work of all LOCAL artists! Not junk from china. Bring home a true slice of aloha!

I have come here half a dozen times and I always find something unique and special and new/ different from craft fairs even though many of the artists do sell elsewhere too I believe. It's fun to visit and I appreciate the aloha we feel whenever we visit.
