Pretty good prices, a decent variety of colors (not a lot of specialty colors, metallics, or textures, but plenty for basic framing jobs), and a selection of corners at a desk near the front doors so you can match up mats to your prints in clean light. Take your corner selection to the checkout desk and they'll retrieve your board for you. They also have protective plastic bags big enough to cover the sheet. They offer a teacher discount, which I always forget about, so I'm grateful that the staff asks every time! Several parking spaces in the shared lot out front and I've never found it full. Easy to get to on the left side of Beretania.

I tend to wander in here while I'm waiting for cinnamon's restaurant to let me get seated... The owner/shopkeeper is sweet, helpful, and will answer any questions you may have! Parking is street - metered, but it's usually not too hard to find. Feel free to wander on in to enjoy their AC...and support local!! :-)

I subscribe to the notion that if you don't have something nice to say....well, you know. But my…read moreexperience at The Mermaid's Collection (TMC) was so bizarre, I just had to write! The shop is very small and intimate with lots to look at. The entrance to the shop is a sliding glass door so you can see the whole shop from the outside. My mom had gone in and found a pair of earrings she liked but wasn't sure about. She fetched me from another shop and we went back to TMC together 15 min later. The woman running the shop- seemingly the owner- was rude rude rude. When we walked in the woman was un-engaging and unhelpful. She didn't greet us, or try to help us at all. We wanted to see the earring again; but we couldn't find them. They were gone! We were clearly searching for them but were offered no help, even though we obviously wanted to buy them. In trying to get her attention, we went as far as to ask if she had sold any earrings in the past 15min and she said no. She has a surveillance system and the monitor is blatantly open for all to see. The whole time we were in the shop her eyes were glued to that screen. She NEVER took her eyes off of it! Eventually we left as the earrings were nowhere to be found, and I don't support stores who treat their customers this way. After leaving the shop we sat outside because we were waiting for restaurant reservations. We could see clearly into TMC as a couple other browsers went in, looked and left. The whole time her eyes were glued to the surveillance screen. Then we were completely appalled as we watched her rewind the surveillance video and watch the footage of US in her store! My mom and I just couldn't believe it. The best way to describe this woman and her shop is outlandish and BIZARRE!

Okay, I have to admit I shop at Walmart waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than Target, but what led me…read morehere today is because after doing work at a local financial institution (just next door from Target), I actually had to use Target's restroom to wash my hands after touching multiple bags of coins (your hands actually become black from touching a lot of coins). After using Target's very clean restroom, I thought I'd walk around & check out the Kailua Store. Making a small observation.......... ever noticed that Target's store layout is pretty similar to the other Target stores in da 808??? I guess this is kinda neat, as it makes it easier to find things in the store. I noticed that the Kailua Target store also had a Starbucks coffee shop, & a Pizza Hut within the store. I really didn't have anything to buy today, but while browsing around, I came across some DEALAGES on a microwave oven. DARN! I just bought a new microwave oven for my dad, as his microwave had broke down recently. Guess where I bought my microwave??? Yes gangies..........Walmart! And ya know what???? Target actually had a better sale price on the microwave, as the microwave I bought on sale at Walmart was ($60.73 w/tax). I guess Walmart doesn't always have da best DEALAGES! Lol! The Kailua Target store is very spacious & clean. A very nice store to visit, should you need groceries, or any other item.

Tucked in the back of Traditions Coffee Roasters is Icky Love Art Loft and Gallery which is home to 40+ various artists and what a treat to find this gem that's filled with so much beautiful inspiration. The staff here is just incredibly knowledgeable of every single artist and priced that's showcased here with not just who they are but where they're from and is amazing what you'll find in this cozy gallery. The only downside is the long walk up the stairs and even with my horrible knee I just couldn't resist taking a peek as the Tradition Coffee Roasters describes what they have I was just so excited and curious. Here you'll find many items from stickers, wall arts, books, jewelry and beautiful assortment of pottery and so much more! I was told that the owner makes pottery and holds workshops & events right in the shop which is super cool and fun but having a bunch of local artist here in one place is so amazing to support local not found anywhere which I did as I couldn't resist a Hebrew Shell Keychain, a cute bowl I'm planning to put jewelry in which will add some fun character that I love which is brining out the crafty in me but love the find of this unique piece of art.

He had a small table set up at the start of the market, with some of the most beautiful wood pieces I have seen for sale. As I spoke with Kimo , he explained that he works exclusively with native Hawaiian woods. He was very knowledgeable about the individual woods. He had many different items in pretty much any price range, and he makes each piece by hand. His attention to detail and beautiful craftsmanship is evident in each of his pieces. I am so glad I found his work. I'm taking several pieces back to Seattle with me. If your on Oahu make sure you check out his work. You'll be glad you did.

When parking, make sure you pay attention as parking is through the building just before it, which you will need to take a left turn as you enter to where their parking lot is located. Their hours of operation are Thursday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This Japanese-inspired shop is pretty cool and offers many unique items for men, women, and teens, as well as a variety of trinkets. The ladies working at the front were very friendly Aunties who are oh so welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. They went out of their way to help us find a gift for a very special person. Prices vary depending on the item, as each piece is uniquely made. Some items are priced higher than others, and while it is a bit on the pricier side, it's understandable given the craftsmanship and uniqueness. Overall, it's a great place to shop for gifts, especially if you enjoy Japanese-inspired items.

Shopping in Kaimuki, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I've seen PITACUS on Instagram. I knew they carried unique clothing and tote bags made from vintage fabrics and kimono material, but I didn't know they had gift tags, note books, stickers, gift cards, coin purses, scrunchies, and more! That's why the shop is actually named PITACUS Chop Art... because no scrap of fabric or paper is wasted! Even the gift tags are tied on with strips of material! That's so clever and resources! I didn't get the name of the cashier... she was so helpful and informative! She encouraged me to come back soon as I was cashing out... I got a set of gift tags and clips for my cousin who makes greeting cards... and a set for my sister because her birthday party is coming up. These stationary items are reasonably priced!!! I want to go to their pop-up sale from September 20 to 22, 2024! Christmas is coming soon... get a jump on it! Note: PITACUS Chop Art is located on the second level of the turquoise-colored Okumura Building.
