Back in the day you had to send away (off island) for quality calligraphy for invitations, signs…read moreand such. Today you don't have to look any further than Hawaii Calligraphy. I wish I had known about Kelsy (owner/calligrapher) Darling and her magnificent talent and skills when we were planning for our big day. Contacting Kelsey is quite easy - either email or voicemail. She has an etsy shop in which you can purchase already made products and you can also commission her to do custom work. I had requested a quote for a specific product and she was able to give me the amount and time it will be ready quite quickly. As a note, she does weddings, parties, signs and just about anything you can think of to write on (wood, leaves, paper, planks). Unfortunately, I never did follow through with the purchase because it was about the same time that Hawaii Calligraphy started offering calligraphy classes in her Chinatown workshop. I was inspired to create my own "masterpiece" instead of commissioning her to do the work. Kelsey's calligraphy workshop was thorough, precise and immaculately executed!! I walked away with a workbook, tons of vendor coupons/discounts, practice sheets and everything you need to start your calligraphy practice. Her overhead projection was perfect!! Everyone in class could see what she was writing and no one was straining their necks or eyes to see her examples. I cannot boast enough about her calligraphy class (beginner)! She provided food and drinks (spirited and not) as well as our own personalized work apron. From inception to execution this gal knows her stuff and she is super friendly. Reality check: who am I kidding? I barely write in cursive yet alone calligraphy with all the fancy schmancy flourishes and swag! I need to practice a lot (a waaayyyy lot more) before I'm satisfied with the actual work. It takes years of practice to create swoon-worthy, beautiful letters and words, but until that "happens" I know that I have Kelsey/Hawaii Calligraphy to call on in case I need something written all fancy and such.

I truly can't say enough about Kari and her art. Her passion is evident in the work she put into my project and I can say without a shadow of doubt, if given the chance, she will execute a momento that your loved ones will cherish. Finally, if I can suggest, those who are out to impress their clients should get hand written notes for the holidays, and of course done by Kari... Again thank you Kari, rockstar job.

So, the week before my wedding I reached out to them on Instagram. They messaged me back the next day & I was able to tell them what I was looking for. (BTW I got married in January, so it was not the summer wedding season.) I was able to order a round acrylic sign & custom Polaroid frame which both turned out beautifully in a short turnover time. Susan even sent me rendering of both pieces with different font combinations. This was super cool and helpful as a customer. They went above and beyond my expectations for contacting them at the very last minute. Again, keep in mind that these vendors are busy year-round so I definitely consider myself lucky to have had their services. I DO NOT recommend doing what I did and contacting them late. I'm just sharing my own personal wedding experience & what happened in my situation. In fact, I hear that they are starting to get booked for the summer weddings!

Ok party people, listen up! If you're planning any type of party or looking for a special gift or…read morewhatever in between, I highly suggest checking out Picturesque for that personalized touch to bring your gathering to the next level. Picturesque specializes in laser cut outs so name cards, signages, cake toppers, ornaments, etc. You can choose either wood or acrylic and choice of fonts. I reached out to Susan for a super last minute bridal shower gift after perusing through her website. I chose a BRIDE and GROOM geometric place setting and a customized ornament with my friends names and wedding date. I had less than a week before the shower and she delivered - all neatly packaged, ready to go! She showed me the design before she cut them to make sure it was perfect. I loved my friend's gift so much that I had my own wedding cake topper made soon after! It blew my mind how great it looked. Dare I say I look forward to the cakes' decor more than the actual cake?! Shame on me. Ok yes, Picturesque was a tad pricier than Etsy but the turnaround time and speedy responses more than made up for the cost. Susan was meticulous and very easy to work with. Plus, you are supporting local! 10/10 will recommend Picturesque if you're looking to make a party uniquely yours.

All the employees I've encountered here have been wonderful and always willing to help. The store is also very well organized.

Again, this is for my niche items (specifically I needed a kneaded eraser recently). Aside from that; there is usually always an alternative that staff is happy to help you find. Cost is comparable to big box office supply stores but the added benefit is supporting local!

I just had to meet her after passing by the shop all of these years! We were picking up lunch from the restaurant next door. The free, small, shared parking lot is much appreciated! I went inside initially for the air-conditioning. Then, I met Patty - she is so sweet! She showed me a lei po'o (crown of flowers for the head) that she just finished... ooh! It holds its shape because she winds the flowers around a wire! Smart! I've read reviews by my friends, Kelly K., Paul M., Nicole, Holly, Ric C., and Lyn L. They were all happy with Patty's work.
