So light and refreshing.  Kid friendly?  Probably not. :)

hapa | hale

Today my shop is being featured over at hapa | hale.  Leigh, the creator of hapa | hale, put together this wonderful website which features modern designs and handmade items from Hawaii.  The site is so lovely and is filled with beautiful photos and thoughtful, well-written posts.  Ever since Leigh introduced me to h | h it has become one of my favorite daily reads.  I am thrilled to be featured on such a fabulous website.  Thanks, Leigh!

You can read the Sugar Fresh feature here.

Paint Me A Picture Feature

Lindsay from PaintMeAPicture featured my shop on her blog today.  Check it out here.

You should also browse Lindsay's Etsy shop while you're at it.  She creates the most adorable paintings for children.  All of her art is original and hand painted on stretched canvas.  What talent!

Pink Bird by Heather Brown

We just picked up this print from a little art gallery in Waikiki:  

I am a Heather Brown fan and just couldn't resist this lovely piece.

We are having a wonderful vacation so far, although it's going by way too fast.  Only a few more days in busy Honolulu before heading back to Hilo town.  It better not be raining when we get back... :)

Another Fabulous Front Page

To have my Sunshine print featured on Etsy's front page twice in one month is quite an honor.  Check out these other bright and cheery items in the collection:

Happy Easter Weekend

Wishing everyone a happy Easter tomorrow.  I am looking forward to spending the day with my family and watching General Conference.  And maybe I'll do a little packing.  We are heading to Oahu for a week long vacation with family and I can't wait.

{ I am sort of obsessed with this print by FloraBella Collection.  Along with this, this, and this one.  Can I just have them all? }

Weekend Project

I saw this idea here that I thought was brilliant. Say you have a few empty bottles lying around that you've been meaning to recycle. Why not turn them into pretty vases that match your decor? All you do is pour a little of your perfect paint color into the bottle and swirl it around until it coats the inside. Dry, and you're done! What I love about this idea is that it's super easy - which means I'm more likely to actually do it. Can't wait to try this out.

While Out Walking

Some days just seem to drag on and on, and today was one of those days.  We still had an hour before Lily's bath time and were completely out of things to do.  The weather was nice so I grabbed my point and shoot and strapped Lily in her carrier and out the door we went.  We walked up and down our street and snapped a few photos of the beautiful plants and flowers that are all over here in Hawaii.  It was so nice to get some fresh air and enjoy this beautiful place we're so lucky to live in.

Cinnamon Girl

We spent the weekend in Waikoloa with my sister and her husband visiting from Utah.  What a wonderful time we had!  While we were there I went strolling around the Kings' Shops with Lily and walked into one of my favorite local boutiques, Cinnamon Girl.  I always stop by when we are there and usually leave being completely obsessed with a few items.  The whole shop is filled with unique treasures you don't see anywhere else on the island.  Their clothing is very feminine and some items are Hawaiian themed, but not overwhelmingly so.  They also have a very nice selection of jewelry, accessories, bags, and dresses.  They even have mother/daughter dresses in similar styles.  If you are ever on the Big Island or near any of their 6 locations, stop by and take a look.  You'll be glad you did.

Seven Months

Happy 7 months, Lily!

My baby girl is getting so big. She is on the verge of crawling, and it is the cutest thing ever to see her rocking back and forth on her knees. One of these days she's going to take off and there will be no turning back. Why can't she stay little forever?

Thinking Pink

This cute girl included my Choose The Right print in a beautiful collage celebrating pink. Check out her blog, she has a darling line of craft products.
