Lili is named after Lili’uokalani, Hawaii’s last and only queen. Her name means “Lili of the Heaven”. Lili sits happily in her driftwood chair at the beach playing her Ukulele and singing some of her favorite Hawaiian songs.
Nai'a (dolphin,) her Aumakua (guardian spirit), is curled around her perfecting the Mana (spiritual energy) of peace and happiness.
The delightful sound of Lili's Ukulele echoes across the Aina (land) accompanying her songs about the Menehune Ohana (family), Hawaiian animals, the forest, the ocean, and the stars in the Universe.

Lili reminds us that there is always more than enough time to fulfill all desires.

Her cheerful Mana brightens up the day with love and laughter.

Tutu sewed a green top with matching pants and wove a grass skirt for Lili. She crocheted little yellow shoes. Last Tutu adorned Lili's hair with a beautiful white Plumeria flower. 

The Ukulele was Kuku’s (grandfather’s) gift of lasting love and Aloha to his beloved Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter). It is Lili's most cherished possession.

Lili is about 4” tall, fitting in the palm of your hand. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. Lili has tiny little hands and feet, ears, buttocks, and a belly button. All accessories were individually handcrafted.

Hina, Moon Goddess of Hawaii

Mahina o hoku

Hoʻike aʻe ʻoe

A i kou nani

Full moon of the night

Reveal your

Beauty

Hina, Goddess of the moon and of healing, was said to have climbed a rainbow from the ocean depths to the moon.

Hina wanted to be free from the demands of others and escape her endless everyday chores, in order to find her sacred place and express her creativity.

In the Hawaiian creation chant ,Kumulipo, she is called Hina'opuhalako'a, "Hina from whose womb came various forms". She is the Goddess of conception, menstruation, and nurturing.
While planting, Hawaiians chant to Hina to invoke her blessings.
Goddess of coral and sea creatures, Hawaiian fishermen relate to Hina by watching the rising and setting of the stars for the right timing of fishing.

Hina's creativity is illuminated through her connection with the cycles of life. She cradles a cosmic Ipu (gourd) containing the seeds of the heavens, from which the moon, stars, and creativity are sown.

If you look closely you can still see Hina's image in the full moon, beating the tapa.

Honoring Hina channels new growth.

Let go of the demands of everyday life and take a retreat of stillness. 

Connect with the earth and the moon, express intuition and creativity.

Join Hina in planting the seeds of heaven to grow dreams 
and communicate visions to the Mana of the Universe!

Reap what you sow and celebrate your crop!

 Hina inspires us to feel, play, dance, be.

Little Menehune girl, Hina, was created in honor of Hawaii's Moon Goddess.

Hina, Moon Goddess of Hawaii

Birthdate: Kekemapa 5, 2017 (12/05/17)

Hina bestows blessings of new growth, intuition and creativity.

The sacred drumming of the Ipu (gourd) echoes across the 'Aina (land) as Hina chants to the Akuas (spirits) of the moon:

Mahina o hoku

Hoʻike aʻe ʻoe

A i kou nani

Full moon of the night

Reveal your

Beauty

Because of her devotion to the moon Mana (spiritual energy), Hina was named after the Hawaiian Goddess of the Moon. 

Standing in her moon chair, Hina blesses her Menehune Ohana (family) with new growth, intuition and creativity by generously sprinkling the seeds of heaven from her cosmic Ipu upon them.

The Menehunes watch in awe as the heavenly seeds attune them to spirit and gladden their heart.

Join Hina in planting the seeds of heaven to grow dreams

and communicate visions to the Mana of the Universe.

Reap what you sow and celebrate your crop!

Hina's Tutu (grandmother) wove her Mana and Aloha (love) into the Maile Haku (head lei). Maile is the lei of eternal love. It is believed to link to the divine.

Tutu also sewed Hina’s blue moon dress and crocheted matching panties and shoes. 

Hawaiian gourds grow on a vine. Tutu picked the most beautiful of the Ipus for Hina. She cleaned, polished and decorated it with a star crystal. It became Hina’s most treasured possession.

All these precious things were Tutu's gifts of Aloha (Love) for her beloved Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter). 

Hina 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. She has tiny little hands and feet, ears, buttocks, and a belly button.

The coconut for Hina’s chair was selected from palm trees at Punalu’u Black Sands Beach. It is hand carved, sanded, polished, and fit to a custom coconut base.

All accessories were individually handcrafted.

At night, Hina dwells in her moon chair. Feeling like a sparkling diamond shining among the stars, Hina gets lost in the majestic beauty of the moon.

Hina inspires us to feel, play, dance and be.

Kapono, the Keeper of Truth

Kapono and his story were created for a special order to teach children the importance of always telling the truth.

Kapono, the Keeper of Truth

Birth Date: Ianuali 8,2018 (01-08-18)

Kapono's fire dance welcomes and honors the truth in life.

Kapono's dance is tantalizing with a visual feast of his burning bamboo fire staff, telling stories about the importance of always telling the truth in life.

Fire symbolizes truth and inner light. 

Truth keeps the fire alive. 

Lies will extinguish it.

Kapono is spinning with his fire staff, twirling, throwing and catching it. His dance is thrilling and dangerous - a magnificent spectacle! 

Kapono knows all about the importance of always telling the truth and doing what he says he will do. It makes him a happy, loved and trustworthy person.

He always remembers that time when he accidentally broke Tutu's (grandmother's) favorite tea cup. When she asked him what happened, he wanted to say:" I didn't do it." But he looked at the love and the trust in her eyes and said:" I'm sorry. I broke it by mistake."

Tutu hugged him and told him that she forgave and loved him for being such an honest and trustworthy person.

You even get rewards when you tell the truth!

Tutu wove her Mana (spiritual energy) and Aloha into his Hulu (feather) Haku (head lei) and ankle leis.

She also sewed his red Malo (loincloth) and decorated it with a Mo'o (gecko).

Kapono's Aumakua (guardian spirit) is Moholani, the divine Mo'o (gecko). It is a great honor in Hawaii to have the ancient Moholani as your Aumakua. Moholani evokes truth, good luck, strength, and protection.

Last Tutu crafted a special amulet using red feathers and a red crystal to inspire spiritual strength, unity and love.

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

Kapono is a one of a kind display doll handcrafted by Hawaiian Dolls. 

He is ready to be your new friend and dance his way into your heart.

Kapono’s dance honors the truth in life.
