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! The Kicknackery ( cute name btw) is a unique store located in downtown Hilo, that sells a variety of items including: Antiques, vintage collectibles, souvenirs, & quirky knick-knacks. It was meant to be stopping by at the Knickknackery, make a stop here You would never know what interesting, unusual items, one of a kind treasures, you might find or browse to discover hidden gems!

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.

Shopping in Hilo Town, Hawaii…read more.. I remember the name of this store... I was here decades ago when I was active with the Jaycees (Junior Chamber of Commerce). We would have meetings on the Big Island every so often. After our gatherings, we'd roam around the town! This store still has amusing gifts, practical items, and cute stuff! It has postcards, jewelry, t-shirts, plushies, baby items, children's toys, Aloha shirts, soaps, lotions, books, Hello Kitty merchandise, tote bags, greeting cards, and more! Service is very friendly! The nice lady at the cash register asked me about my Shohei Ohtani shirt... LOL! Note: this store didn't have air conditioning... shucks! However, there's free street parking all around the area!

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.

Pretty pressed flowers and brightly colored algae put into a pendant, bracelet or ear rings (among all the other options!) was so lovely. His show at the Made in Hawai'i Craft Festival was even better. I couldn't decide which piece I liked best and made a mental note to check out the website. I didn't have too much disposable income (ahem) at the time but always kept this jewelry in the back of my mind. (they're not pricey either I just work in the non-profit world ;) Fast forward it is about to be my sister's birthday and I thought the ivory locket would be perfect: an elegant way to say I love you by putting a picture of the two of us as kids inside. It was last minute and I was reluctant to try and ask for a piece right away as each one is made to order. I thought I would try and call and lo and behold Peter was so gracious and accommodating- he rushed the order for me and two days later I had the necklace in my hands! It is a charming locket with a vintage appeal: just what I needed. Peter was so helpful, letting me know when it would be mailed and the estimated arrival, working with me all the way. He is a truly classy gentleman and it shows through his work. Now I'm planning to order MY piece of jewelry :)
