The Tiki Hut Aloha Celebration
Birth Date: Lanuali 21, 2023 (01/21/23)
Keoki and Hani embrace us with Aloha and happiness!
Keoki and Hani are having the most joyous celebration in their Tiki hut!
The enchanting sound of Keoki’s ukulele echoes across the 'Aina (land) as Hani dances the Hula.
The graceful movements of Hani’s hands and body enhance the stories of Keoki’s songs.
With honesty, kindness, humbleness and in harmony with their true selves,
Keoki and Hani live in the spirit of Aloha.
Keoki just came back from surfing in the ocean and his surfboard is leaning against the bamboo pole of the Tiki Hut. Two Tikis are watching over everything and a big ripe Kahiki (pineapple) is resting on one of them.
Tutu wove her Mana (spiritual energy) and Aloha into Hani’s green and yellow feather Haku (head lei), ankle and wrist leis and Keoki’s neck lei. The Hulu (feather) lei is believed to link to the divine.
Hawaiian gourds grow on a vine. Tutu picked the most beautiful one for Keoki’s and Hani’s Ipu. She cleaned and polished it. Last she strung a Kukui nut lei and wrapped it around the Ipu. Kukui represents inner light, hope and renewal. Tutu blessed the Ipu with Hawaiian salt and special prayers. The gourd is sacred now. Keoki’s and Hani’s Ipu was created for them and only they are allowed to touch it.
All these precious things were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha (Love) to her beloved Mo’opunas (grandchildren).
Keoki and Hani are a 4” tall cloth dolls fitting in the palm of your hand. They were individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii.
The bodies are 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 giving the doll a unique personality. All accessories were individually hand crafted.
The Tiki Hut is crafted out of a coconut shell, wood, bamboo and raffia. It has a circumference of about 20” and is about 10” tall.
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!
Keoki and Hani are one of a kind Hawaiian Art Dolls and come with a booklet and certificate of authenticity. They are display dolls and collector’s items bringing you the spiritual power of Hawaii.
Every part of Keoki and Hani has been lovingly handcrafted to create new friends who will last a lifetime.
Keoki and Hani are ready to be your new friends dancing and
singing their way into your heart.
