Tutu Stringing Leis

November 20: Kalaupapa is a small community that was once home to about 1,000 people and one bar, Elaine’s Place. This sweet painting was done in Kalaupapa by resident Elaine Remigio. She owned Elaine’s Place where patients would gather to eat and drink together, as they would have back at home. The bar was exemplary of the community built on Kalaupapa during this time, despite the dispiriting circumstances.

I could not find her birth date but she passed away in 2008. Her cheery painting of beautiful women in colorful muu muu is so endearing. Here's a link to a bittersweet article on the history of Kalaupapa and Elaine. In table 24 "A Promise To My Angel."

Fall Wiki Wiki Aftermath

October 8: Mahalo to all the amazing Wiki Wiki vendors & collectors who came as far away as Japan, Kauai, & Kakaako! We were challenged by a limping air system that created a tropical indoor heatwave and so grateful to all who persevered & showed us their amazing finds!

A special mahalo to Don Medcalf of Hawaiian Islands Stamp & Coin for putting on a wonderful 1800s display of Princess Kaiulani and her personal belongings. Here are just a small sample of items featured in the display.

The Princess' fruit knife, napkin, and other treasures.

Below is Chie, a Mejiro collector from Osaka, Japan, who found the largest Mejiro Shaka Cat, "Bumboocha Brah", with pink whiskers intact. Chie flew in from Osaka just to attend the Wiki Wiki Show. We are shocked that something Wayne & I made 40 years ago is now a vintage collectible.

Thanks again to vendors who work all year searching & prepping and to dedicated collectors who put smiles on our faces when they show us their treasures! Hope to see everyone next month at the Holiday Wiki Wiki Show on November 24! Mahalo, ilene & wayne.

Bumboocha Brah & Friends!
