Mahalo Moms!

We’re celebrating Moms with some happy news and

elegant, practical solutions. (Remind you of anyone? ;)

More than ever, mahalo nui for choosing

locally made art, jewelry & gifts for home, family & friends.

Aloha kakou! We’re thinking of the special wahine we remember on Mother’s Day, and all Hawaii’s Moms.

We’re thankful for everyone reaching out to choose local artists for your special occasions and improvement projects too. Mahalo nunui!

Today we’re very happy to share our first ever online collection of Rosalie Prussing’s cheery prints . They are just like she was in person, sunny and bright, with an eye for the everyday moments that make life in these islands a joy.

Even more of Rosalie’s images be added in coming weeks, including prints on canvas, so please visit again In the future. For the present, here are timeless favorites .

We’ve been enjoying working with one of her grandsons this year as he prepares to go off to graduate school to study art. She long intended her prints to provide an education for her two grandsons, and with the work of her son Paul and daughter in law Melody, it certainly has. Mahalo Prussing ohana for carrying on Rosalie’s legacy.

Rosalie was a great Mom, and so is Mel. We celebrate them and appreciate them!

We are able to ship via US mail from Tues-Saturdays, or meet masked at the front door In Kahala for safe delivery, if you see something you would like to have or to give.

C ell phone bags made of kimono fabric have a center pocket and a diagonal pouch. They can be worn with the shoulder strap, or you could tuck the straps in and carry that way. They hold just the essentials but are a practical solution for those times you don’t want to carry your handbag.

They are also perfect for bon dance. We are looking for a way to share online bon dance lessons to get ready for Obon with the hope that one day soon we will all be able to dance and enjoy together, safely.

(If you would like to teach bon dances remotely, let's talk!)

Please follow our Instagram and Facebook pages for more news as that develops. Another good thing to do with time at home, learn all those classic dances.

Lauren Salm’s delicate lilies and vibrant orchids are some of the works available as custom prints.

Coming soon, a new category on the website, Hana Hou. This is a carefully curated collection of fine art and handmade craft from Hawaii’s artists that are not currently Represented by the gallery. For example, Ric Dellera’s family has sent the last Dellera boxes we expect to see. A curly koa drawer box, an ohia pop top, a macadamia nut and Macassar ebony footed box and an early double spline style curly low box with knots.

In addition, a lovely Large John Wisnosky oil painting of the Ko’olaus will be available soon.

We have been asked for years to help people place items and have declined, choosing to preserve the space for for contemporary Hawaii artists and makers. With the current situation, we will be making space online for the secondary market of Hawaii artists and crafters only. We plan to start very small so that we still have time to do the work we’ve been at now for 30 years. Please check back to the website and our Instagram and facebook for updatesThanks.1
