basket full of fun.

hi fishers..

sorry, it's been so long..i'm sure all 5 or 6 of you have missed our absence in the blogosphere. there's lots happening in the shop lately. new things are scheduled to arrive very shortly, we also have a printmaker's show coming up on december 2nd....more to come on this later!

christmas is right around the corner...my how the year has flown by, we'll have officially been on the scene for 3 years! can you believe it? here's a little treat of what we've been working on to make your holiday gift giving a little easier.

gift baskets!!!! yep, you want one of these..they are fun, fun, fun. we took a look at our friends and made baskets for them. there's the OCD, the bun in the oven, the handy andy, the constipated gardener and the sinful chef are just to name a few....

here's a peek at the sinful chef, they'll be ready for purchase by black friday!

show above clockwise: muCloth microfiber dish cloth and towel, jonathan adler fish trivet and garden of eden s&p shakers, carved bone salad servers, vintage printed napkins by pi'lo, p55dle make love(not war) oven mitt, glass water bottle..(what sinful chef doesn't need a gorgeous bottle for their secret vodka stash)

happy fishing!

ochre isn't just a color

i just love ochre, i can't get enough of the hand blown glass and how it adds just a touch of jewelry to a room without being overly stuffy..found this (oversize artic pear chandelier) on a blog somewhere out there on the internet, so sorry, i'm terrible at crediting and blogging at that..enjoy..

remember we have our own little mini version in the showroom and they can be special ordered as well.

we also outfitted the cafe/lounge at h.i.f.f. again this year, they are celebrating 30 years right now! go by and check it out..there's special postcards there that if brought into the store will entitle you to 10% off anything.

cutie pi'lo, cutie pillow..how we love you

we just got in a shipment of new stuff for our general store. i am just head over heels about these original cutesie sweetsies! pi'lo is based out of toronto and all products are handmade with love and special attention. we can't be more happy to bring these cute home accessories and gifts! welcome to our family!!





i adore her product photos too..everything looks so delish.

kagu(furniture) + noe(tanigawa)

see you there!

so yummy.

we are falling for all the new jonathan adler sofas.

away for the summer

well noir, how cute are you?

our new pieces are slowing trickling in, sometimes it's like christmas up in here. i think you need to come and visit these pieces ASAP. they are to die for and you don't have to sacrifice your first born, or an arm, or a leg... noir furniture was introduced to us a few months back and we've been agonizing over what pieces to purchase first.

noir is stocked in LA which makes ordering much quicker.. so if there's something you want, we're here to help. the pieces are a perfect match for us and we couldn't be happier. these are just a few of the items from their extensive line:

the dome chair!


my absolute favorite, this console table...




and this cute little coffee table.

see you soon!!!!

lego my abode.

i'm a huge fan of top gear, all 3 of these guys have me forgetting a bad day and laughing while simultaneously drooling throughout an hour. while channel surfing a few weeks ago i came across "james may toy stories" and was floored by this show. this is my favorite episode so far.

the lego house!!!

elle loves fishcake.

so we're a little late but thanks elle decor! we love you! can't believe you chose to add us when there are so many great places to shop here. congrats to our friends at aloha rag, place, and so'mace. we're honored to be on the same page as you!

take the plunge

do you hide your plunger? i most definitely do, at the back of my supply closet, deep in the back where the dust bunnies and mold monsters might lurk. here's another funtastic product that arrived from alice supply co., we couldn't resist bringing in these wacky little plungers. available now!!!

an inspirational chalk

last night i got my july catalog for anthropologie, i'm a huge huge fan..i wish we had one here, along with it's sister store urban outfitters. the dresses, jewelry, home stuff is all so whimsical. and everyone knows that the best sales are only in the store. their store and window displays are always something to marvel over..there have been many a cool one come and go, i could say that i draw a lot of inspiration from them. i've heard that every store is different because they let their associates go carte blanche but that could just be a rumor.

last year while working on one of our ads, i wanted to play around with this idea of working with chalkboard and drawn in accessories. unfortunately, time and budget were against me so i never got to see my vision come to life..and anthropologie beat me to it. great job!! i love this.

now does someone want to volunteer to build me a chalkboard set?

hello j. adler!

hello fishees.

we've got a brand new addition to our store. i have been dying to tell you all about this for months now but had to keep mum before we jinxed ourselves. please help me welcome the jonathan adler line, we are official resellers for the brand, yippee!!! in the months to come, we'll be receiving some fun upholstery pieces, casegoods, and accessories.

i loved watching j.a. on top design. his funky sensibility always puts a smile on my face, i wonder what ever happened to that show? anyway, i'm digressing. the line has a fun 50's/60's vibe that we think fits right in with our meridiani, consignment, and art pieces. these pieces won't break the budget either with sofas starting at $1700. i can't wait to start showing all the great things that start arriving.

here is the trousdale floor lamp in white, kea is a little annoyed that i made her pose so you could see the proportions of the lamp. don't mind her, she isn't having a good hair day.

we also will be getting new alice supply co. very shortly. stay tuned for new hammers and screwdrivers, along with garden tools, and more tool boxes. i can't wait! keep you posted..

success is in the bag.

dear fishers....

thank you so much for coming out to support tcm. the mystery bags sold out in 45 minutes!!!! we didn't anticipate such a frenetic response and are beyond amazed as well as thankful that so many of you helped us create a fabulous party. it was a success working with tcm, ka, swam, and modern luxury, it's always great to work with such a fantastic team of people, we can't wait for the next event.

i was a little disappointed that i wasn't able to get a bag.....these were some of the cool pieces that i was coveting and some lucky people scored for only $50 bucks. trust me..they are drool worthy.

this untitled piece by jason teraoka...

this tae kitakata, "if i have to explain you'll never understand", you gotta love that!
and this drawing by russell sunabe

we are still looking for interesting pieces for consignment. and we also have some really fun stuff coming for inventory...the details are a little on the down low right now...hang in there for the big reveal.

mystery may madness

hi fishers.

omg, i've been dying to talk about our latest event since we started planning it. now the fish is outta the bowl and i can finally bare all. mystery may madness is happening on thursday the 27th of may.

we've partnered with tcm (the contemporary museum) to bring you an evening of madness and indulgence. tickets are $25.00 and can be purchased through nicole higa at the museum. some of hawaii's most coveted artists are participating by donating art work to be sold in mystery bags for a steal of $50.00 each. proceeds to benefit tcm.

seriously ladies and gents..you don't want to miss out on these bags. john koga, pegge hopper, mary mitsuda, mark chai, and alan leitner are just a few of the participating artitst..there are dozens more.

we have other surprises scheduled and you won't know til you join the fun. if you're in the know...you know our parties rock! there will be food, there will be drinks, there will be fun and there will be MADNESS! can't wait to see you all here.

puppies light up our lives

hi fishers.

we just received these amazing little guys from melissa moir de rivera torres of unleash studio and i am just in love....i'm calculating how i can fit one of them in my home as we speak. melissa is a young, fresh, and totally hip product designer...and the best part is she's lives and works here in honolulu.

these two guys are just prototypes but she will be making more. we are currently running a waiting list for these guys. call or stop by our shop for details.

best of...

hi fishers.

we are so happy to announce that the editors of honolulu magazine voted us best "place to buy a housewarming gift for modern-design-loving friends"...

honolulu-you rock. no really...you do.

we couldn't do it without the support of this awesome community.

our huge sale is still going on..i'm told that it will last for another couple of weeks..we're working on new orders as i type this and we'll be getting new merchandise real soon.

but in the meantime....here are a few of my favorite things that are still available and on sale.

this fun cd/dvd storage is so fun and eclectic..i wish my ceilings were high enough. on sale for $175. from $750. what a steal!!!

these suzani quilts have been all the rage and i keep seeing them everywhere used in upholstery to art..this one's on sale from $1052. to $526.

this coffee table is one of my very favorites... it's painted with car paint, you can polish them. it's also one of a kind painted by my personal friend taka. only $730.

hope to see you all soon.

oh.em.gee..can't miss sale of the year

i know every time i post, it's only for our sales but come on, can you thank me or what? otherwise, how else would you be "in the know"? we are majorly trying to clear out our inventory so some stuff has been marked downed to 75% off. how great is that? you can't pass up the chance to just come and look.

our best sale ever!
