Oal ke ola, maluhia ke ola
Ho’ola ke ola I ka pono e
Eo maila kea o hulihuli
Live your best peaceful life
Compassion brings healing
Rejoice in enlightened moments
Halia’s dance beckons you to keep your eyes on the heavens and stand with Aloha!
With honesty, kindness, humbleness and in harmony with her true self, Halia truly lives in the spirit of Aloha.
Dancing with her little sister Alana, the graceful movements of their hands and bodies tell stories about the wonders of nature, the creation of the world and the traditions of the Hawaiian people.
The Menehune Ohana (family) watches in awe as the harmony of Ipu Heke, Hula and chant attunes them to spirit and gladdens their heart.
Halia’s Tutu (grandmother) is her Ho’onui’s Kumu Hula (Hula Teacher). She taught her the powerful chants and movements of the Hula. Tutu and Halia share a deep bond of love and unity.
Tutu sewed Halia's bikini top and pants and crafted her traditional grass skirt.
Tutu wove her Mana (spiritual energy) and Aloha into Halia’s sweet smelling white Puakenikeni flower Haku (head lei), necklace and ankle leis.
Hawaiian gourds grow on a vine. Tutu picked the most beautiful one for Halia's Ipu. Then she cleaned and polished it and wrapped a Maile lei around it. Maile is the lei of eternal love.
Tutu blessed the Ipu with Hawaiian salt and special prayers. The gourd is sacred now. Haila’s Ipu was created for her and only she is allowed to touch it.
All these precious things were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha (Love) to her beloved Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter).
Halia is a 10” tall cloth doll. She was individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii. The body is made out of doll skin, stuffed with high quality poly fill and wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. All accessories were individually hand crafted.
Halia is not dress up dolls. All clothing and accessories are sewn and/or glued onto her.
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. Do not brush the hair!
Halia is a one of a kind Hawaiian Art Doll and comes with a booklet and certificate of authenticity. She is a collector’s item bringing you the spiritual power of Hawaii.
Every bit of Halia has been lovingly handcrafted to create a new friend who will last a lifetime.
