Lani, Angel of Heaven 

Birthdate: Nowemapa 28, 2020 (11/28/20) 

Welcome Lani as your Guardian Angel! 

She is devoted to protecting and guiding you on your life’s journey. 

The sacred sound of the Pu (conch shell ) echoes across the ‘Aina (land) calling Lani (Heaven), the Angel of Heaven to earth. Lani’s home is Lanikeha, the high sky.

Lani carries a candle in her sacred Pu (conch shell), which invokes blessings of the divine. The heavenly light of Lani’s candle illuminates the paths of the Menehune’s lives on earth.

The Menehunes know Lani always watches over them enlightening their lives with her angelic presence. Hearing the divine sound of the Pu in the distance, the Menehunes sense that Lani is near. Sometimes she allows them a glance at the heavenly glow of her candle or a glimpse of her angelic white feather wings passing by to remind them how brightly the Aloha spirit is shining from their own souls.

All they have to do is call and Lani appears offering her wisdom and guidance.


Lani wears a red dress with a big Bird of Paradise. The dress is cone shaped to crown the top of a Christmas tree. Her head, wrists and ankles are adorned with sweet smelling Puakenikeni leis.
The angel wings are crafted out of real white feathers.


Lani is a 10” tall cloth doll who was individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii. Her body is made out of doll skin and stuffed with high quality poly fill. The body is wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. All accessories were individually hand crafted.


Doll care: Gently brush the dolls and their clothing with a soft dry toothbrush to remove dust. Always brush the faces and bodies upwards towards the hair. Do not brush the hair!

Lani is an original design and comes with a booklet and a certificate of authenticity. She is a collector’s item bringing you the spiritual power of Hawaii.

Lani is a one of a kind Hawaiian Art Doll. Every bit of her has been lovingly handcrafted to create a new friend who will last a lifetime.

 

Lani is ready to be your new friend and shine her way into your heart. 

May Lani’s Mana (spiritual energy) embrace your home with the Aloha spirit of Hawaii!

Standing in a coconut crèche under the sweet smelling Plumeria Tree, Malia (Virgin Mary) lovingly watches over her baby Iesu (Jesus), who is contently nestled in his nut cradle.

Iokepa’s (Joseph’s) sacred Kukui Nut Pahu (staff) surrounded by Ti leaves symbolizes the shining heart of love and announces the birth of Iesu, the greatest of all blessings. 

Iesu, Malia, Iokepa and the coconut crèche are wearing green and yellow halos of the Hawaiian Hulu (feather), which is believed to link to the divine.

Decorated with Plumeria flowers, the Ipu (gourd) spreads its Aloha throughout the coconut crèche.

Pua'a, the pig, Honu, the turtle and Pueo, the owl have gathered to adore the sweet baby.

In the Aloha spirit of Hawaii, the dolls, animals, coconut cradle and accessories were intricately handcrafted with the greatest love and respect for this sacred event.


Malia and Iokepa are about 3” tall fitting in the palm of your hand. The bodies are made out of stretch cotton and wired for flexibility. Iesu is about 3/4" tall. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto their faces. Malia, Iokepa and Iesu have tiny little hands and feet, ears, buttocks, and belly buttons.

 

Pueo, Honu and Pua'a are partially crocheted and sewn out of faux fur. 

The coconut for the crèche was selected from palm trees at Punalu’u Black Sands Beach. It is hand carved, sanded, polished and fit to a custom pine wood base. The top is adorned with a shining silver sea star. 

All dolls, animals and accessories are pinned and or glued to the coconut crèche.
All accessories were individually handcrafted.
