a peek inside lilikoi cottage

gypsy rapture

today's etsy find is the sweetly named lilikoi cottage which is filled with the handmade collection of shabby chic adornment created by honolulu jewelry designer stacy suzuki. the photos alone are worth the peek which recreate the feeling of scavenging about the dressing table of a lady who fancies herself a new romantic meets modern victorian bohemian (for some reason helena bonham carter comes to mind).

vintage findings from glass flowers to chandelier crystals mix with a rainbow of eclectic tidbits (and the occasional hand sewn rosette) to be reborn into new designs that hint of a love of jane austen novels, watching clouds dance across the sky, and an eternally sunny disposition.

pieces are typically one of a kind or of the limited persuasion so if something you love has already found a home just remember custom orders are always welcome.

and, brides-to-be seeking the perfect complement for their white wedding will want to click over to blue lovebirds, stacy's etsy shop devoted to bridal loveliness.

p.s. stacy also keeps a blog filled with little vignettes of her jewelry making assignments, everyday adventures, and glimpses of her shabby chic cottage.

wedding wrap

here's a cute idea if you happen to be on the lookout for a wedding gift destined to make a splash. the wedding café now offers custom embroidered bath linens that can be personalized however you please and are perfect for the soon-to-be-wed, love is always in the air, hopelessly romantic sweethearts in your life about to set up their official married nest.

anything goes from monograms to pet names to the more traditional mister and missus. surprise the newlyweds with towels stitched in their wedding colors or simply scoop up the forever set which is stocked in-store.

prices start at $14 for a hand towel and go up from there so consider gathering up friends and family to gift a complete set.

turnaround time for custom orders is about a week.

live aloha campaign

 

if you are one of the growing number of kama'aina concerned about creating a more sustainable future for the islands, meet up with like minded souls during this weekend's live aloha campaign hosted by kanu hawaii. the (almost) island-wide event is filled with projects to help "brighten our communities" on the big island, kauai and oahu.

volunteers can choose to donate sweat equity on an affordable housing build (kauai), help public housing residents with beautification projects (all islands), or share their arts & crafts talent with moms and keiki at a local women's shelter (oahu).

sign-up details are posted on kanu's website.

• when: sat, jun 20th
• fyi: lunch will be provided at all events

p.s. oahu volunteers who recruit five friends will also score a kanu tee for their kokua.
