Ko Olina (Joyful)
Nene (Goose) and Honu (Turtle)
Birth date: Kepakemapa 8, 2018 (09-08-19)
Ko Olina, Nene and Honu remind us
that there is always more than enough time to fulfill all desires.
Ko Olina, Nene (Goose)
and Honu (Turtle) have all the time in the world!
Together they meander
through the beautiful forest in the Ka'u Mountains cherishing all they see,
hear, and feel. Baby Nene quacks and waddles along happily. Little Honu is
resting contently on Ko Olina's arm.
Wonderful and exciting
things keep happening! Everywhere they go they are greeted with kindness and
abundance: the sun warms their bodies, the birds sing their most beautiful
songs, flowers open to embrace them with their sweet scent.
When they are hungry food
appears on their path, a crunchy green leaf for Honu, a big yellow Mai’a
(banana) to share for Ko Olina and Nene. The small mountain stream offers cool,
fresh to quench their thirst.
Ko Olina, Nene and Honu honor
the Akuas (spirits) of the enchanting
forest.
Nene
and Honu are Ko Olina’s Aumakuas (guardian spirits) and the three of them are
inseparable. Ko Olina is deeply connected with the ancient wisdom of Honu and
Nene.
In
Hawaii the Honu represents long life, safety, peace, and good luck.
Nene
means to cherish. The Nene Goose enhances
the life and spirit of Hawaii.
Ko Olina's Tutu (grandmother)
lovingly wove her traditional green hula skirt and sewed a bright yellow bikini
to wear with it. Tutu wove her Mana (spiritual energy) and Aloha (love) into Ko
Olina's red flower and green feather Haku (head lei), wrist and ankle leis. In
Hawaii the Hulu (feather) represents spiritual strength, unity and love. It is
believed to link to the divine.
Tutu crocheted little
yellow shoes for Ko Olina. Last she stuck beautiful yellow Plumeria flowers
behind Ko Olina's, Nene’s and Honu's ears.
All these precious things
were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha (Love) to her beloved Mo’opuna Wahine
(granddaughter).
Ko Olina is about 4” tall
fitting in the palm of your hand. The body is made out of stretch cotton and
wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the
face. Ko Olina has tiny little hands and feet, ears, buttocks, and a belly
button. Honu and Nene are partially crocheted and sewn out of faux fur. All
accessories were individually handcrafted.
Doll care: Gently brush
the dolls and their clothing with a soft toothbrush to remove dust. Always
brush the faces and bodies upwards towards the hair.
Ko Olina, Nene and Honu
are one of a kind display dolls handcrafted by Hawaiian Dolls. They come with their
story and a certificate of authenticity.
Ko Olina, Nene and Honu are ready to be your new friends
and charm their way into your heart.
Ko Olina, Nene and Honu celebrate Hawaii's Aloha spirit.
