punk-n-pie moving sale

 

liana of mixed plate is making the move to the mainland and has just kicked off a moving sale at punk-n-pie. everything in the charming online keiki boutique has been marked down which means it's time to do a little early holiday shopping and scoop up wee finds with an indie edge for the little ones who have earned a spot on your nice list.

p.s. the darling sakura sundress (along with a matching kimono style top) that was featured earlier this year is still in stock.

haagen-dazs goes hawaiian

spotted this weekend: a pint of haagen-dazs reserve ice cream in the freezer case at my neighborhood grocer. and since i swoon each and every time i hear the tale of 'ohi'a and lehua, i just couldn't resist scooping up my very own pint of hawaiian lehua honey ice cream.

my fella snuck in a few spoonfuls and we both agree it is yummy. i do hope the honey is really sourced from the big island as the packaging claims.

to get your own lehua honey ice cream fix, click over to h-d to find out if the reserve series is stocked at your local market. if not, online ordering is available via ice cream source.

hawaii international film festival for free!

oh well, it doesn't look like i'll be home for the hawaii international film festival this year, however supercw is trying to spread the word that hiff organizers desperately need volunteer drivers to shuttle vips around town. if you can commit to a four hour shift, this is your chance to peek behind the scenes and potentially meet a few up and coming filmmakers.

film fan bonus: each shift you sign up for scores you a voucher to take in a screening of one of the many indie/foreign entrants in this year's festival!

more details and other volunteer opportunites are posted here.

hiff kicks off this thu, oct 18th so do click over to the online box office for the scoop on the 2007 festival schedule (eraserhead, anyone?).
