He was making a lei while I browsed around and as I paid for my merchandise and got gifted a Pualeikinini lei, I was touched by his kindness. I love the fragrant smell of this flower. I didn't expect that and grateful that the flowers are in season. Just walking around exploring this part of town, I am so glad I made a stop at this shop before my lunch reservations, it was around the corner. I loved looking at the antique and vintage stuff, some items did bring back some memories of small kid times but some were quite interesting to look at. One item caught my eyes, saw a mini cute sewing machine which I had to get for my mom, it reminded me of her ( she had a sewing machine just like it). I was surprised at the price and Kelii even packaged the items up so nicely. My mom was so happy when she opened it, thank you for doing this!

Tucked away in Hilo there is a hidden treasure chest of antiques, collectables, and memorabilia…read more Now, you've probably driven by this ole home-style store a dozen times and not even looked twice. But with a keen eye you'll see a vintage surfboard hanging on the wall next to a sign that reads, "Antiques". I wasn't looking for anything in particular, nonetheless I was a curious cat so I veered on in. It was like stepping back in time. Think about any decade and you'll find something cool. The atmosphere is kinda like going to your grandparents house, patina with a sprinkle of dust. And throughout every corner you'll discover some randomly distinctive knickknacks. Everything I saw was an awesome deal and you definitely find items of value. A few things that caught my eye and sent me back were the collectable toys, coins, guitars, skateboards, furniture, kitchenware, glasses, and of course the vintage records. My personal favorite was a record of "Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon." As the nostalgia echoed memories from my past an hour maybe two flew bye, and yet I could have spent the rest of my afternoon there lost in time. The keeper of this treasure chest is Ray. He's a super chill dude with a great sense of humor and plenty of talk story too. Ray knows his stuff and can tell you anything you need to know about anything you find in his treasure chest. A famous Captain named Jack Sparrow once said, "Not all treasure's silver and gold, mate."

SCAM ALERT!!! Do…read morenot trust this sneaky old man nor the younger woman who hangs out with him. We were a family of two adults and two younger teenagers strolling around Hilo, shopping and enjoying the farmers market. We hadn't been on the Big Island for very long and this was our first opportunity to see what kind of local items were offered on the Island. I say this knowing a 13-year-old and a 15-year-old with their own hard-earned chore money, wanted to buy some souvenirs. We meandered into the Akaka Falls Trading Post, and the old man in the photos showed them some cheap plastic necklaces (a knock-off of what is normally a traditional Hawaiian real nut necklace, found everywhere for $4-$5). Without us adults nearby, he sneakily sold EACH child a $15 plastic (not even a real nut) necklace because they didn't know any better. As this was happening, the woman was nonstop talking my ear off telling me about her daughter who lives near me in California. Okay... ??? I was trying to be polite until she told me her daughter, who is 20 years old, already had 4 college degrees... as I questioned this, not surprisingly I could plainly see this was a lie based on her back up statements. Fine. I'm not here for a new lifelong friend, I'm clearly just a person who has the patience to listen to some unhinged woman's ramblings. The old man was also trying to get my boyfriends personal information so he could start sending him a new newsletter he was writing (huh?) After these diversions, and the sneaky theft of money from the children, the old man wanted to pose for pictures with the kids which seemed creepy in the moment as well, but we nonchalantly complied... maybe it will make for an interesting vacation memory? We realized much later what had actually transpired... and thus reminded me of a time when riding the subway in Barcelona when a pick pocket was taking my attention away on the subway, as he simultaneously stole my camera from my bag. Everything is clear in 20/20 hindsight.

This is more of a traditional knickknack store than true antiques; everything is dirty and most of it isn't worth the prices. I asked the cashier if they had anything I was looking for and got a stupid grin and a shake of the head like those were ridiculous requests. I took a walk around looking through everything and didn't notice a lot of local flavor or anything unique. I definitely have to put the emphasis on the "and Stuff" part of the name.
