Aloha!

If you haven’t visited us in awhile, you may have noticed some new changes.

A few new buttons.
Specials: We hope to keep the specials filled with unique items at great prices.
NaKaniOHula.jp: We just recently translated our website into Japanese for our customers in Japan. I’m quite nervous about communicating though, since I only have two years of High School Japanese under my belt (I don’t think I paid attention very well (sorry Mrs. Hirai) and I won’t say how many years ago that was!). We’ll see…..
Blog: I love to read blogs so I thought I would give it a try. Let you know what is happening here at Na Kani O Hula and here on Maui.

A few new items.
Hula Supplies: We used to avoid making ‘ulili since it was so darned time consuming. But we bit the bullet and figured out a way to make them without giving us major blisters! We also have available Koa papa hehi and kala’au.
Craft Supplies: We have some really nice lauhala strippers (box and handheld) and tapa beaters. Check it out.

This coming weekend is the Hula O Na Keiki, solo keiki hula competition, at the Ka’anapali Beach Hotel. We will be participating in the craft show Friday and Saturday (9am to 4pm) and also doing ipu/’uli’uli workshops. We do this every year (since I believe 1994) and have such a great time. I’ll try to take some pictures for you.

Today’s ‘Olelo No’eau:
He lei poina ‘ole ke keiki. A lei never forgotten is the beloved child.
