Love getting crafty…read more.. The holidays are over but the need to find the unique items for any occasions...totes low as $3 are always in need and to have these craft fairs on a scheduled basis is a great support to our local small businesses and to easily reach out to folks looking for that something that's not easily found in one location. This Made with Aloha Gift Fair is at Pearlridge Center Mauka Wing every third Saturday and Sundays right in the middle of it all and the vendors may vary at moments though follow @islandcraftfairs as they will list the participating shops and what they have to offer...it sure got me down here to see what Chinese New Year items they have from Unik Gifts and Things and no they don't have instagram but though wonderful events like this reached out to many folks flocking over to shop and with my purchase he gave me a free frog charm for good luck as he says "you can't buy luck" very true and a generous gesture which was truly valuable and this made me smile. Thank you!

First off, I love this store!…read more Living on the mainland, there are so many crafting supplies that are unique to Hawaiʻi, and every time I walk into Ben Franklin Crafts, I find myself wandering the aisles thinking, "Ooh... I don't have this back home" and in goes the item in my cart. What brought me in today tho, was to support one of the local small businesses that rents a "locker" inside the store. I absolutely love this concept. Ben Franklin has created a space where local makers can showcase and sell their work, giving shoppers the chance to support dozens of independent businesses all under one roof. Honestly, if money were no object, I'd probably leave with something from every locker. The variety is incredible, and it's fun seeing all the creativity from local artisans. Whether you're a serious crafter, looking for a unique gift, or just enjoy browsing, this place is sooo dangerous... in the best way possible. It's basically a crafter's candy store, and I look forward to getting lost here every time.

After seeing BFCrafts Instagram posts and Lei-go leis made from colorful flower beads, I wanted to…read moretry out this new item. I headed down to this BFCraft store and found the beads! A wide selection of colors, however, a few of the popular colors and flowers were out of stock. The beads are light weight, flexible, and the stems may be easily cut shorter. I was happily surprised that it did not feel rough or abrasive against material or the human skin. Great for simple DIY craft projects. My first project was to create a forever lei bag charm. The flower beads are reasonably priced and affordable for crafting projects. Service was okay lol. The cashier could have shown a little more interest. No smile or thank you for coming today. Maybe it was an off day for her. Other employees were nice and helpful in finding the beads. Overall a 4.5 star experience. Rounded up to 5 stars.

Ok so this may seem a bit unfair because there isn't another store that sells this much fabric,…read morebut, I'm rating this visit based on my daughter's happiness. First things first, this store is located in the VERY BACK of Pearlridge industrial warehouses. If you know where the dealership & GOODWILL in Pearl city is... THEN YOU'LL FIND IT! Because it's IN THE BACK THERE! You CANT MISS IT! It's next to where the old JELLY'S was. There is a lot of open parking. Restrooms, I'm not sure where or if they have one in that area opened to the public. Prices range anywhere from $2.00 to as high as $50.00 PER YARD. Depends on what type you want or looking for and if you want it by the yards or remnants. I don't know what else to say about this place other than ITS A MUST WHEN NEEDING FABRIC! But... as mentioned earlier... this post is gonna be based off my daughter's experience and outcome. I must say... they DID NOT disappoint! She had a sewing project done for school and IM SUPER PROUD OF HOW WELL SHE DID! Both her dad and I! So as you all know... they have PRETTY MUCH EVERY TYPE, COLOR, STYLE, THEME OR PATTERN OF MATERIALS, right!? So I expected her to take forever on choosing a material. But she found it in half hour and the rest was DUCK SOUP! They also had the very same color thread that matched perfectly with her fabric she chose. So that was AWESOME! AND it was the style she needed too! I didn't realize the threads were all different! Lol! ANYWHO... the teacher told them to get about 1-1/2 yards of fabric & DID state they shouldn't buy anything more than $3.00. But of course my husband had to give his princess whatever she wanted. Which wasn't much. We got her a little extra on the fabric just incase she needed it. But her final product was so BEAUTIFUL... I wish our small sewing machine worked. She wanted to make more for Christmas and pass them out or sell them at the Christmas fair. But it's ok. We'll manage. However, take a look at her project. (SEE PHOTOS) She chose a light sun yellow color fabric with local Hawaii pictures on them. The reason why she chose that specific fabric was because she wanted the HAWAIIAN FLAG that was in there. There were other nice colored fabrics with different designs too! But that was her reason for this one! If you do shop here and you don't know exactly what you're looking for, expect to stay for more than an hour. It's so HARDZ TO CHOOSE!!! If it could, I would live in here and make everything and anything! LOL!!! But they didn't have a few things on the list BUT luckily, we had it at home. I made her a ziplock bag with everything labeled and placed well in the bag. I also told her to make sure she keeps it that way so she's organized and she doesn't lose anything. She did exactly what was told and she was the 2nd or 3rd student to finish her project. This was out of ALL PERIODS too! Her teacher was amazed with her work! She asked if she could do another, but because their quarter was ending. The teacher told them no, because they're putting the machine back into storage til next years class. But I'm proud of her for making her drawstring pouch and her total bag. And it's ALL THANKS TO FABRIC MART! Okie dokes thank you for looking and have a good one guys! A hui hou MALAMA PONO ALOHA!

I am more of an outdoors type of person, but recently have been thinking of taking up a crafty…read morehobby for those gloomy, rainy days. I stumbled upon Fabric Mart near Pearlridge Center last week when we cleaned up for the New Year and dropped off donations nearby. So, I decided to check it out today. First of all, it's a HUGE space with fabrics galore!!! Lots of local, Hawaiian print material. Wall full of fancy, frilly ones. And even, solid choices of fabric for curtains and furniture! Also, they sell gorgeous 100% silk options! This place definitely could be an inspo to stir up creativity we need from time to time. Also, they sell accessories that usually come with sewing projects including patterns and zippers. Unfortunately, I did not see any sewing machines. Nor, do they offer sewing classes. This shop is not visible from the main road. Mosey on towards the back line-up of businesses including a gymnastic's school and an Asian home furnishings store. There is ample, free parking. I thought the staff working was not very friendly. Probably due to not in work mode because it's right after the long holidays. I recommend here if you are wanting a wide selection of fabric for your next craft project.

Support Small business in Halawa Valley!…read more I enter many contests on Instagram. For example...Alohaish... I had never heard of this company, but they messaged me and stated that I won a "floral umbrella"... great! It rains often in Hawaii, so this item is very useful! Alohaish gave me the address where I was to pick up my prize. It's a cozy shop in Halawa Valley... pass Ani's Bakery and take a right. There was free street parking...yay! I entered the neatly organized store where there was a wide variety of merchandise such as caps, flasks, tank tops, hoodies, jewelry, t-shirts, pouches, and... reversible umbrellas. Have you ever seen one? Reversible umbrellas are so cool! They can stand up on their own. When you open them, the outside swings inward and stays dry when it rains... so that the wet surface will fold inward when you're done using the umbrella. I'm so happy to get one of these treasures! Now I know where to get more! I also saw a really nice shell necklace and I'm thinking about going back for a waterproof pouch... hmmm... Christmas is next week... I'm still making my list!

Apparel Proz is the place to go for all your embroidery needs. This is my second year getting my…read morecollared shirts embroidered from them. I've been making my Media students these collared shirts with our media logo on it just so that they look semi professional when they do the morning news broadcast. The service is great and fast and prices were very reasonable. We got the shirts done quickly and the kids were so excited. As soon as I gave it to them, they wanted to change out of the shirt they were wearing and wear the embroidered one. Apparel Proz did an excellent job with the stitching on each one of our shirts. I had them stitch on our blue collared shirts for the kids and black ones for the teachers. I even had them do a t shirt one this year. If you're looking for a great place to do embroidery, go and check out Apparel Proz. I will definitely be coming back again next year.

Recently needed cards for two Priest's Ordination anniversaries, two birthdays and a Mother's Day card. I can usually find one at Longs card display but knew I'd just have to come here for the others so decided to fight for parking and get it done. Believe me the prices and selection are better here. I also like the little gift items they sell too when you just want to add a special touch. I've purchased their adorable musical Christmas trees, singing Christmas Penguins, ceramic gingerbread houses etc that adorn my house for the holidays in addition to the many cards. The associates are always helpful and kind as well as knowledgeable showing a wide range of cards from inexpensive to the huge "let's make a statement" cards. Always an upbeat and pleasant experience, I really should come more often!
