Today i went for a walk in old industrial and it started to rain so i ducked into the international…read moremarket to hide and was surprised at how few shops were there. I walked in and out looking around and all i got from a few vendors was a simple hello if that, Which made me feel rather unwelcome. Then i went around to the back and found Trudy's and was immediately greeted with warm and cheery "hello, how are you?" She talked to me about how everything in her shop is made on the island and asked if i wanted to see anything in particular. She was so helpful she pointed out a pair of "Rare Treasures" earrings that she thought i would like and i loved them! I told her I'll take them! I simply adore my new earrings and Couldn't be happier with my purchase. I'm so glad it rained and i will definitely be going back to support the local businesses and not that cheap made in china imitation stuff.

Whether you're local or visiting Kona, Nana's Clay Flowers is a must, especially if you're looking…read morefor a unique, handmade gift for yourself or someone else. The artistry of these clay flowers is like nothing we've ever seen anywhere else. They look so real! From orchids to plumeria, hibiscus to bird of paradise (and more), you'll do a double take when you realize these flowers are in fact sculpted from clay! My husband and I walked in last Nov and met Tara who was in the process of preparing the clay to sculpt a new flower. We paused to watch and she kindly told us about her process and even gave me a small hibiscus she literally made in under 5 minutes! Mahalo again, Tara! I keep that perfect little mini flower on display at home along with a couple of other flowers we bought that day, and they always makes me smile :) Friends & fam who we gifted flowers to also loved theirs! Think about it, you'll never have to water the flowers, they'll stay vibrant and perfect forever, and you'll have a beautiful memento of Kona/Hawaii that's 100% better than anything you'd find in an ABC Store or other generic souvenir shop (and those items are usually not even made in Hawaii).

They have a wide selection of yarn that is unavailable on Oahu. They even carry locally made yarn which was beautiful. They have lots of beautiful quilts hanging on the walls as well as crochet and knitted items as well. They even have binders of free patterns that you can take home with you. I was blown away! The store is beautiful to be in, so neat, organized and colorful. I wish I was into quilting so I could buy some of their colorful fabric! There is an ample parking lot so parking shouldn't be a problem. There is an iPad in the store where you need to punch in your license plate for 90 minutes of free parking. The yarns were reasonably priced. I ended up buying 2 skeins to crochet some butterflies. Highly recommend this store for your quilt, crochet or knitting needs. I only wish we had a store like this on Oahu!
