Aloha Kakahiaka from, Hawai'i Nei :)
Happy Aloha Friday. \000/
Hau'oli Makahiki Hou '2026....
My 1st review here for, '2026, Chee Hooo!! Haha.....
It's a bit cold here in Hawai'i Nei today, 65° to be exact!! Lol! Yeah, it's Cold here for Hawai'i peeps, well Imho :)
I enjoy Shopping here @Crafts Way (for "Tiare stick Flowers w/Tahitian Pearls), especially after just recently a Wahine @one of our Local Eatery here on Oahu, asked me where did I get my "Tiare" flower from?? That's like the 5th time or even more times, I've gotten that same exact same question from mostly Wahines, either from Hawai'i, & or @Hawaiian Airlines (while boarding our flight, from Stewardesses)
& in Vegas & also all the way from, WDW = (Walt Disney World), one of the Happiest Places in the World :).
So, since I've always forgot the name of this SHOP!!, Brain Fart moment (lol!) which I now know it's called, "Crafts Way!", in Aiea, I can NOW share this info to any Local Wahine, Stranger or whomever will ask me about MY, Aloha "Tiare flower w/Tahitian Pearl", & be on my merry way, as I can now respond about, where did you get your Pretty Flower (it's a fake Tiare!) lol from, etc, & I can proudly reply & say, it's from, "Crafts Way" in Aiea, where it's located right in the back side of *Cutter Ford*, again in Aiea, on *Hekaha St.*, this place is not hard to find @all!! As long as your familiar where the Aiea area is, & you see *Cutter Ford*, on the far right.....&* here is *Crafts Way* Address below
98-015 Kamehameha Hwy, Aiea, HI 96701, you have pretty much almost reached your Destination here, to "Crafts Way!" :), that'll be on the right side, on Hekaha St.
Got lots of prkg here for this Store, U can prkg right in front of the Store too!!
Getting back to "Crafts Way", my main thing I enjoy about this Store, is basically their pretty "Tiare Flower" w/the Tahitian Pearl, that's my all time Favorite Flower from here, & also their pretty, "Puakenikeni" flowers, & they are all *fake flowers* lol. Keep in mind, these flowers do come in mini Sizes also, to where you can put them in your ka'a, In the A/C vent area, & or where ever your heart desires to place them!! I like keeping an extra of my "Tiares" in my ka'a, becuz I do leave our hale sometimes without my fave "Tiare", get a lil bummed (Lol!), but knowing that I'll have an Extra in my ka'a, etc, then I can use my backup "Tiare" right from my ka'a & I'm a Happy Camper for the rest of my day/evening, yayyyyy!!! Lol!
These "Tiare w/Tahitian Pearl" usually costs, $4.00-$5.00 for one Flower, depending which Sz. You may choose, where I don't like the really Nui =(Big) ones, I enjoy a more Med. SZ. "Tiare".
The last time I was Shopping here, right before our last trip to the 9th Isle (10/6/2025), when I went into this Store, I couldn't find any of the "Tiares" that I liked, but not too Worry, becuz the Wahine @the Register told me, I can make them for you, so I told her that's So Cool, I browsed more around the Store, as she was putting together my "Tiares w/Tahitian Pearls together, I bought like 5 or 6, becuz I like sharing some with my Sister Randi :), as we both enjoy wearing our "Tiare" flowers daily!! It's also Cute, to put any flower, right on top of a "Makana" as well!!!
You'll also find here, a very much wide Variety of range of Hawaiian Flowers here, (their all fake) lol, from Puamelias, Tiares, *fake hakus*, just keep in mind, their are a lot of flowers you will find here in this "Crafts Way!" Store, including plastic Hawaiian Leis too!!
Five Stars from me, knowing I can always come back here for my, "Tiare w/Tahitian Pearl" Stick Flowers, & buy as much as I want, in the Future....
Haha!
Lastly, I'm Hawaiian & I don't Usually like "fake flowers", including "fake leis", that's just me, I would definitely enjoy wearing my "Tiare" fresh, becuz the Smell of a real Tiare, is heavenly, just as the "Puakenikeni" Flowers as well, they both Smell Sweet, etc.
But, knowing that when you do use a real "Tiare & or a real Puakenikeni", they will pretty much only last a day or two & then they will make (mah-keh).
Okay den, all pau again with my long Cray (lol!) Review for this, "Crafts Way" Interesting bright color Store, filled with lots & lots of *Fake Flowers*, Plastic Hakus, Plastic Leis, which I'll always come back here again & again to pick up my "Tiares w/Tahitian Pearl Stick flowers from here!!
Aloha Nui!!, from Chilly Hawai'i Nei :) \000/ read more
