I have been coming to Kauai for over 20 years and the North Shore in particular holds a very…read morespecial place in my heart. It's my happy place and some of my happiest memories are of being here with my family. Over the last 4-5 trips I have started skipping the touristy draws and trying to really immerse myself in the culture and community (farmers markets, kappa street party, picking avocados off trees outside the parking lot in hanalei, getting lost on random roads and exploring some of the less traveled towns). On my last trip to Kauai I caught wind of an art night down in Hanapepee. I had only been to this cute little town once the year before in search a pharmacy, but couldn't help but notice Georgios Art Gallery. He had a particular tree painting outside on display that literally jumped off the canvas. We wandered around the rooms admiring his works. Stunning. I've never been much of an art person and oil paintings in particular haven't really interested me much. The way Georgio paints is so unique. It's different than anything else I've ever seen. In our first trip to Georgio's we didn't buy anything as we somewhat nauseous from our ride down from the canyon (although we regretted it) but were excited to stop in on him for the Art Night (sans a trip to Waimea this time). We walked in and were immediately greeted by Georgio himself. He offered us some wine and we were immediately drawn to the bold colors and textures once again. Then we saw it. It was an elephant (that I'll also post on here) and were pulled into the painting. It was probably one of the most amazing paintings we had ever seen. So, minutes later we were finalizing the sale with Georgio. As we continued to walk around the art night to different galleries we kept on reflecting on how great HIS art was. So we went back. After falling for many other pieces the major display piece (which was already framed and matted with different colors of blue silk) spoke to my soul. It brought me back to my first trip to Kauai sitting in the back of my parents convertible with my younger sister (who has since passed away) looking up at a million stars, hearing the roar of crashing waves, smelling the ocean, and watching the white caps of the waves coming into shore. The memory was cemented into my brain and Georgio caught that memory for me. It is a starry night shot of the north shore (which I will also post). Hands down Georgio's art is the best in all of Kauai and we feel so lucky to have a couple amazing pieces in our home all the way across the country in Boston. He shipped them to us for free in homemade custom wooden boxes! The amount of compliments we have received on both pieces in just a matter of a few months says it all. You can also tell how much time and effort goes into the details. (I'm still noticing details in Starry Night I hadn't noticed before). Georgio was talking about moving his gallery in the near future... All I have to say is make sure we can find you later this year! We have some open walls!

I stumbled upon this charming gift shop earlier this week when I was visiting Kauai. It's such a…read morecool spot! You'll find all kinds of shells, art work, jewelry, magnets, garden decor, tons of mermaid items, clothes, crystals, etc. The owner is SO nice and patiently helped me pick out goodies for friends. She helped another couple before me, too, and the vibe was just really good here. She explained that she tries to look for items that you won't see in other shops. For example, she had postcards with photos her friend took. (I bought four, and they're beautiful.) She also offered to help my disabled mother inside through the back walkway, but my mom chose to wait in the car, because she didn't want to get out in the rain. I was so impressed with the customer service that I came back a second time during my short stay on the island to make another purchase. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area and looking for some unique beachy gifts.

We were interested in an expensive painting that had a very nice glass and wood frame. She sold us on the painting then weirdly told us "it was just sold". BUT the artist can do another original exactly like it and she will ship it to us (We took a picture of it and happy to share this). Well, this is her scam! What she sent us was a piece of literal garbage - a replica picture about 1/3 the size that looked like it was done on a photo copier! She also put it in an oversized cheap plastic frame with plastic cover ($1 dollar frame!)! She obviously pocketed our money (hundreds of dollars) and thought being "dumb tourists" we would just accept this. This is known as "bait and switch" - it is not only unethical, it is also illegal. DO NOT GO HERE. SHE WILL RIP YOU OFF AND HER "ORIGINALS" ARE NOTHING OF THE KIND. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

She has a desire to share the beautiful vibrations of the singing bowls as well as the healing crystals located around the store. If at first you're scared to walk in because of the "do not touch- fragile" signs, just do it. Once you walk in you find that although the signs are there to deter, it doesn't take away from the sharing and some what healing experience of hearing Crystal play. Being an owner of crystal and metal singing bowls, I appreciated learning different techniques and about vibrational healing beyond the bowls themselves- we talked about the vibrational healing properties of gongs and even the energy centers of heiaus throughout the islands. Will definitely be back to visit as well as purchase. PS- she has an awesome cd so if the bowls themselves are out of your price range you can still experience the beauty and healing of their vibrations in your car or at home.
