with everything from gasoline to groceries skyrocketing in price, a one day only fighting eel & ginger13 sample sale will be welcome news to anyone watching her budget. scoop up something pretty to wear this summer from a jersey frock by hawaii's most watched design team to a handcrafted flourish or two from the ginger13 jewelry collection ($10 and up).
remember to hit the atm before you go since both the entry fee (which will be matched by fe to raise money for the american red cross china relief fund) and purchases are cash only.

aloha onesie + l/s tee
the other day i happened across sweet little onesies perked up with recycled fabric appliqués made by mu'umu'u heaven and realized that it had been far too long since the last update. alas, the wee togs are sold out at the kailua boutique but if you simply must have one for your keiki click over to online stockist equita.
for grownups, mu'umu'u heaven continues to translate the little black dress in bamboo jersey with their signature island style which will certainly delight those with a more minimal aesthetic.

pretty flower pens
and, you may recall that earlier this year designer deb mascia launched her heavenly home collection as a way for customers, who swooned over the shop's beach chic meets reclaimed design upon its opening, to decorate their own space with the one of a kind look found inside the boutique.
eric of mu'umu'u heaven (deb's husband, business partner & right hand man) kindly sent along a peek of a few pieces from the collection which closes the green loop by transforming thrift shop bound furniture with a few fixes along with a fresh coat of paint and updated upholstery.
accent pillows made from vintage aloha shirt fabric are also available to brighten up your space and can be found at the shop and pacific home.
finally, one of my favorite things about mh is that every thursday they welcome w.i.n.g.s., a group that works with windward teens and young adults who have autism, into the shop for an afternoon of project making. members have created these cheerful flower pens made with scraps of fabric saved from mu'umu'u heaven's sewing room and are available at the shop for $6 (proceeds help support w.i.n.g.s. activities and additional craft supplies).
