Don't we always love leaving a bit of sparkle every where we go!?…read more Sweet Okole Jewelry is quite a stunning showroom museum where you can freely browse their inventory of an incredible variety of power stones and crystals all with their as a crafter myself I've used many types of crystals which many has it's own representation in different your lifestyle and personality. System is quite smart as you're free to brows to your heart content since all inventory are behind glass which is a safer viewing and if you're ready for any help all you need to do is sign in at the counter and they will call you when it's your turn. I do really wish that they have what each of the crystals represent along with the names of them to take with you as I do know the basic though am a total novice to the more selective ones...though I'm sure you can ask as well as some of us are not that familiar with it all. Many of the crystals are large and do have smaller ones in a different area though not able to please all is understandable it's not quite a jewelry crafters place even if they have that decent section just wished it was more. it's super solid here that certainly shines bright! Thank you!

Everything is styled so well, it honestly makes me want to live in a beach house. They have the cutest kitchen tools and home decor.

I've taken home three aprons and I'm absolutely in love with them!

Buying cute bunny fabric for face masks…read more.. If you're into sewing face masks, you'll know that the supply of fabric is limited. Walmart's selection is quite scarce while Fabric Mart is well stocked with the basics, Japanese designs, and Hawaiian prints. Korean material is almost non-existent on Oahu. However, my friend, Donna O., spotted some on Instagram. There's a local vendor named 808 Craft and Gift Fairs. The business page showed some really cute patterns, especially Cony (the white bunny from Line Friends) fabric! I messaged the business and was invited to come over and take a look. I arrived in Pacific Palisades in Pearl City, Oahu in the afternoon. It was perfect timing because the owner, Lauren, was outside and finishing up with the customer before me. She invited me onto her property (with her guard dog) to check out items in her silver colored van. The front passenger seat was filled with face masks made in Korea. There were children's sizes as well as adult sizes. Lauren showed me the quality stitching and the wire nose guards which prevent fogging on eyeglasses. The back of the van held the fabrics. They're currently going for $25 for two yards. Some were linen, some were solids, and some were kawaii prints. I focused on the pandas for my nieces and the sloths for my friend, Dear Daniel... lol! Lauren also pointed out the soft, durable Japanese elastic. It's good for replacing elastic that will eventually stretch out. We don't think that there will be an end to this COVID-19 lifestyle, so, we may as well be prepared and have fresh elastic on hand. Right now, she's offering 100 yards (black or white, 1/8 inch width) for $35. Note: If you bring cash or use venmo, there's a slight discount. Service is outstanding because Lauren is so knowledgeable, personable, and helpful. (It turns out that she married my friend's cousin.) She encouraged me to sew faster so that I can return next week and purchase more fabric... hahaha! P.S. 808 Craft and Gift Fairs sponsor virtual craft fairs that reach all 50 states! Contact Lauren via Instagram to find out more!

This place has only been on my radar for years and I finally stopped in about a month ago for the…read morefirst time. Let's just say my budget is probably glad it took so long! First, this is on base, so you do need base access, but you do not need to have military ID to make a purchase here. Now that the Trusted Traveler program has been reinstated as Honolulu moves into Tier 3, that can make it a little easier for non-military folks to get here if someone can sponsor you in the gate. This place is a more upscale alternative to the kinds of things you might find at the Stadium Swap Meet, ABC Stores, or similar. Great for gifts and home decor, similar to Soha Living. Not quite everything is locally made, but a significant proportion is. They carry a lot of my favorites - Nick Kuchar prints, Coco Moon for baby gifts, Bradley & Lily cards and notebooks, Pura Vida. The prices are what you'd pay anywhere else, and the money goes to support military-affiliated charities. They have some clothing, keiki stuff, holiday decor, jewelry, jams and jellies, kitchen/bar items, gifts. Hours are mostly mornings (9-1 many days), but they are also open Saturdays. They do close during Christmas/New Years, so keep that in mind if you need gifts. Parking is available right out front, and it's never been crowded when I've come.

We found another one that was pretty similar to the one I had. We called to be sure they were still engraving. We got there when they opened at 10:30 am and they got it done pretty quickly. The ladies there were super nice. Debbie was the one that actually helped us. It was very reasonable which helped because replacing the necklace was pretty expensive. Definitely would recommend them. They are located in a plaza with Long's drugs store.

I had a really disappointing experience at Debbie's Jewelry. I went in to buy a ring setting for a…read morestone I already had, and right away Debbie (the owner) came off pretty cold and unfriendly. I still stayed polite and friendly the whole time, but the energy just felt off. When I asked if they had thin ring settings, she kept saying no in a really short, dismissive way. Then she ended up pulling out bands that were literally exactly what I had been asking for. It honestly felt like she either wasn't listening or just didn't care to help. On top of that, it came across like she was judging me and assuming I couldn't afford anything. The weird part is her attitude completely changed once I pulled out money to pay, especially when she saw I was paying mostly in cash. That switch-up didn't sit right with me at all. After I left, I realized I didn't even feel good supporting a business where I was treated like that, so I called to ask for a refund. I spoke to her son Mike, and he was actually really respectful and helpful. He had no issue letting me come back, get my stone, and cancel everything. Not long after that, Debbie called me herself. Instead of just hearing me out, she got defensive and kept saying she "didn't even yell," like that's supposed to mean the service was fine. I stayed calm and explained my issue was her attitude, not the price or anything like that. Then she started saying I had an attitude, which wasn't true, and even told me to come get my stone and "take that shit off Yelp"... even though I hadn't posted anything yet. Overall, the experience just felt uncomfortable and unprofessional. The only positive part was Mike being helpful. I wouldn't go back.
