I do alot of shopping for Hawaii stuff online. I would do more if I had a J - O - B; but dats anada story.

Sometimes I just gotta go to abcstores.com or hilohatties.com even doe I not going buy something; I going look. There are alot of Hawaii shopping online. Some unbelievable, because you know just by reading the prices you may as well wait till you go home.

Case in point; Punaluu sweet bread. I was wanting some to make french toast. I saw the prices online. I had to call my sista, tell’um next care package please put in 2 loaves Punaluu sweet breat. Then again sometime when you crave you just gotta order’um and pay da price to satisfy dat craving. Anden wen you gettum no taste like you rememba, cause why? Cause taste moe betta wen you stay home yeah, so wait till you go home. Its dat wanting “instant gratification yeah.”

I buy hula stuff online. Fass you know sometimes, shock me. Cause one time I called Aloha Hula Supply to order I’is for my Tahitian class. Everybody give me da money den I go order’um right. So I called on a Thrusday, Unco said “K~one week” I’m like fine no rush. Saturday da mail man at my door giving me da box of I’is. Unco must of puttem’ in da mail Thursday aftanoon at da airport yeah. LOL

I really like Manuhealii & Sig Zane stuff. You guys can go google afta you pau read dis. BUT as pricey pricey stuff. Its also quality. You like Hilo Hattie or you like Manuhealii? But anyway I’ve learned to E-bay first. I no shame buy used clothes, its quality material and the ones I’ve bought are good as new.

My daughtas dey like COACH bag or DooneyBurke. Fo’dat kine money I rather have a SigZane bag, support Hilo yeah. LOL I told my daughtas I no like Coach I like SigZane, I showem’ da website. What dey tell me? MOM, its expensive. No kidding and Coach & DooneyBurke is not? Although the truth is I wouldn’t want a purse dat cost hundreds of dollars and all I get is 2 dollahs. I would rather have a 2 dollar purse and have hundreds of dollars in it. That make moe sense.

Another artist I like is Dorothy Grant, oh she’s not Hawaiian; she’s Haida from the NW yeah. She has cool native designs, ummm you need plenny money doe. Reminds me, I neva check E-bay. LOL I going look now. hehehe

Buying Hawaiian print material, fabric online is not da same as buying fabric in person cause you cannot touchy feely the material, rub it between my fingers. For some reason a thumbnail of the material does not compare to looking at an actual bolt of material. But you do wot you gotta do, wot da hay; give me 5 yds of that even though I only need 3 but I can only buy it online in 5 yd increments.

If you’re a HarleyDavidson kind of person; Pacific HarleyDavidson has some good clearance stuff online. Sometimes. But first, try go check E-bay. LOL
