Aniani ho'onui 'ike

Reflections enlarge visions

Aniani's reflections from the heart enable true visions.

Aniani plays happily at Punalu'u Black Sand Beach with her brother Kanaloa.

Every once in a while she gazes into her little hand mirror and reflects on all the beauty around her. She observes and listens without judgment from the eye of her heart. Aniani has a gift of resolving any turmoil among her Ohana (family). She simply seeks the reflections of Aka, the essence of life and light. Soon Aniani is blessed with a true vision to the solution, which will restore peace and happiness for all.

Aniani's Tutu (grandmother) lovingly crafted her hand mirror out of mirror glass, bamboo, fabric and crystals. Tutu blessed the mirror with Hawaiian salt and special prayers. It is sacred now. The mirror was created for Aniani's visions and only she is allowed to touch it.

Tutu sewed a beautiful ocean blue dress with a moon and star design. She crocheted blue panties and blue little shoes.

Last Tutu created a special Plumeria hairpiece for beautiful little Aniani. All these precious things were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha (Love) to her beloved Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter).

 Aniani is about 4” tall fitting in the palm of your hand. The body is made out of stretch cotton. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. Aniani has tiny little hands and feet, ears, buttocks, and a belly button.

All accessories were individually handcrafted.

Aniani is a one of a kind display doll handcrafted by Hawaiian Dolls. She comes with her story and a certificate of authenticity.

Aniani reflects the essence of life and light.

Kaua'i, the Garden Isle

Kaua'i is the oldest of the Hawaiian Islands. Mysterious and beautiful, covered with tropical rain forest, waterfalls and endless rainbows, it has been named 'the Garden Isle'.
The lush beauty of the 'Garden Isle' inspired the creation of Menehune Boy Kaua'i and his Honu (turtle).

Kaua'i and Honu

Birthdate: Lulai 16, 2016 (07/16/16)

Kauai’s music illuminates life with joy and happiness.

Living Hawaii’s Aloha spirit, Kaua'i and Honu (Turtle) have all the time in the world. Together they meander through the beautiful forest in the Kaiholena Mountains cherishing all they see, hear, and feel. 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) for Kaua'i. The small mountain stream offers cool, fresh water for them to drink their fill.
The delightful sound of Kaua'i's Ukulele echoes across the Aina (land) accompanying his songs about the Menehune Ohana (family), Hawaiian animals, the forest, the ocean, and the stars in the Universe.

Honu Iki and Honu remind us that there is always more than enough time to fulfill all desires. 

Their cheerful Mana (Spiritual Energy) brightens up the day with love and laughter.

Kauai is named after the oldest of the Hawaiian Islands, mysterious and charming Kauai, also called the 'Garden Isle'.
Honu is Kaua'i’s Aumakua (guardian spirit) and she has become his faithful companion. Kaua'i is deeply connected with the ancient wisdom of Honu. In Hawaii the Honu represents long life, safety, peace, and good luck.

Kaua'i’sTutu (grandmother) wove her Mana (spiritual energy) and Aloha (love) into the Hulu (feather) leis he wears around his neck and Lauhala hat. In Hawaii the Hulu lei symbolizes love, honor and respect. Tutu also sewed Kaua'i's lava lava (wraparound) out of white cotton and crocheted yellow underwear and matching shoes. Last she put a white Plumeria Flower on Honu who loves its beauty and sweet fragrance.
The Ukulele was Kuku’s (grandfather’s) gift of lasting love and Aloha to his beloved Mo’opuna Kane (grandson). It is Kaua'i’s most cherished possession. He holds it even when he goes to sleep.

Kaua'i is about 4” tall, fitting in the palm of your hand. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. Kaua'i has tiny little hands and feet, ears, buttocks, and a belly button. Honu is about 1" long. The body is made out of faux fur and wired for flexibility. All accessories were individually handcrafted.

In the evenings Kaua'i often accompanies the Hula dances of his little sister Ola (Life) with his Ukulele. In perfect harmony they express their Aloha Aina (love of the land).

Kaua'i and Honu are one of a kind display dolls handcrafted by Hawaiian Dolls. They come with their story and a certificate of authenticity.

Kaua'i and Honu channel the Aloha spirit of Hawaii.

Ola, Life in Hawaii

Ola(Life)

Birth Date: Lulai 15, 2016 (07/15/16)

Aloha Mai

I come with love.

Ola's Hula honors the miracle of life.

Join her in a celebration of life’s joys and abundance!

Celebrating the glorious magnificence of life, Ola dances the ancient Hawaiian Kahiko Hula in harmony to the rhythm of her Pu'ili (dancing sticks).

The beautiful movements of her hands and body tell stories about the wonders of nature, the creation of the world and the Menehune Ohana (family). Ola's dancing sticks enhance the rhythm and add excitement to her dance.

Ola's Tutu (grandmother) is her Kumu Hula (Hula Teacher). She taught her the powerful movements of the Kahiko Hula.

After Tutu and Ola carved the Pu'ili carved out of bamboo, Tutu blessed them with Hawaiian salt and special prayers. The dancing sticks are sacred now. They were created for Ola and only she is allowed to touch them.

Tutu also hand crafted the traditional pink hula skirt. She sewed a green top and skirt for Ola and crocheted pink little shoes. Tutu wove her Mana (spiritual energy) and Aloha (love) into Ola's green feather and sweet smelling Puakenikeni flower Haku (head lei) and wrist leis. In Hawaii the Hulu (feather) represents spiritual strength, unity and love. It is believed to link to the divine. All these precious things were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha (Love) to her beloved Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter).

Ola is about 4” tall fitting in the palm of your hand. The body is made out of stretch cotton. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. Ola has tiny little hands and feet, ears, buttocks, and a belly button.

All accessories were individually handcrafted.

In the evenings Ola's brother Kauai often accompanies her Hula dances with his Ukulele. In perfect harmony they express their Aloha Aina (love of the land).

Ola's dance honors the sacredness of life.

Rising from Lava, the Sacred Hawaiian Ohia Tree

Like an erupting volcano, the Ohia Lehua Tree signals the completion of one cycle and illuminates a new beginning. 

The indigenous Hawaiian Ohia Tree is the first form of life to grow directly out of the hardened black lava. Its beautiful red flowers are called Lehua, which means "Flower sacred to the Gods" in the Hawaiian language. The red Lehua flower is the official flower of the Big Island of Hawaii. The Ohia Tree is vital to Hawaii's natural ecosystem. It provides an essential food source for native birds and bugs.

Pele, Hawaiian Volcano Goddess

The Lehua is also known as Pele’s Flower. In Hawaiian mythology, Ohia and Lehua were two lovers. The Volcano Goddess Pele desired Ohia. But Ohia only had eyes for Lehua. His rejection made Pele so furious that she turned him into a tree. Lehua was devastated by losing her lover. Out of pity, the gods turned her into a flower which they placed on Ohia's tree. Hawaiians believe that it rains when a Lehua flower is picked from the Ohia tree, signifying the tears of these eternal lovers.

The Ohia Lehua Tree has been sacred to the Hawaiian people since ancient times and is often mentioned in legends, hula, songs, and chants.

Native Hawaiians used to make a medicinal potion out of the Ohia Tree’s bark and leaves. It was meant to spark a strong, passionate, inward fire to grow, bloom, and rejoice in life. The Ohia Lehua Tree is said to grant visions of the future, offering inspirations to manifest personal transformation. It signals the completion of one cycle and illuminates a new beginning.

The Ohia Lehua Tree is a powerful symbol of all that is Hawaii.

Menehune Girl Pele was created in honor of Hawaii's Volcano Goddess and the sacred Ohia Tree.

Pele, Hawaiian Volcano Goddess

Birthdate: Lulai 3, 2016 (07-03-16)

Pele offers her strength and passion to remind us that life’s fiery eruptions and emotional upheavals often clear the path for positive transformations.

Aloha e Pele! (Greetings, Pele!)

The Menehunes clap their hands, jumping up and down with excitement as soon as Pele emerges from the sacred Ohia forest.

Pele always brings the most fascinating news about the flaming spirit of Hawaii’s Volcano Goddess hurling fiery ribbons of lava down the mountain slopes, giving birth to new rock formations and land.

The Volcano Goddess Pele is closely associated with the indigenous Hawaiian Ohia Tree, which is the first form of life to grow directly out of the hardened black lava. Its beautiful red flowers are called Lehua, which means "Flower sacred to the Gods" in the Hawaiian language.

As a gift and blessing Pele offers you a small Ohia tree with a red Lehua flower. 

The tree embodies the light of spirit, knowledge and life.

It illuminates a new beginning.

Gifted with a passionate spirit, little Menehune girl Pele was named after Hawaii’s Fire Goddess.

Pele’s Tutu (grandmother) wove her Mana (spiritual energy) and Aloha (love) into Pele's Ohia Lehua and sweet smelling Puakenikeni flower Haku (head lei). Tutu also sewed Pele’s red and black skirt and top reflecting hot and hardened lava.

She crocheted black panties and matching shoes. All these things were Tutu's gifts of Aloha (Love) for her beloved Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter).

Pele’s abundant red and black hair cascades down her back like the lava flow on the mountain slope.

Pele 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. Pele has tiny little hands and feet, ears, buttocks, and a belly button. All accessories were individually handcrafted.

Pele is a one of a kind collectible display dolls handcrafted by Hawaiian Dolls. She comes with her story and a certificate of authenticity.

Pele blesses you with her sacred Hawaiian Ohia Tree.
