small house

ok, i know i said i wasn't going to watch but i've been loosely following hgtv's design star..and last night's episode was so inspiring. melissa from unleash studio actually turned me on to this a few months back and i've always wanted to build one. if you have the extra space in your backyard this could be such a fun little office/chill out/club house/teenager room/guest bungalow..whatever you're heart desires.

introducing the tumbleweed tiny house....

they have designs from 65 square feet to 310 square feet. how cool would it be to be able to live/work/entertain in a space this small. although this lifestyle is not for me...i love my shoes too much after all..it would make a great closet!!

eat drink prints

super duper exciting things happening in the store today! ..the honolulu printmakers are in store beautifying the showroom. they are hanging prints that will be up for sale on september 10. we have the honor of hosting this fabulous art filled evening. there will be wine and tasty food catered by ginniberries. tickets are $150 per couple and $130 for single, or $200 at the door (so don't procrastinate)!

up for adoption!!!

whether you are a newly minted fishcake fan or a loyal from the very beginning follower, let me re-introduce you to these itty bitty pettie committee dolls! they had a brief stint of incarceration here at fishcake (then again, who wouldn't love to be incarcerated here) and they are back again.

these delightfully cute creatures are created by jayne hirata, hand sewn from NEW socks with button details that are just to die for. each is individually captivating or maybe even engrossing, once you read the little stories that jayne writes for each of them..and why not, she not only is a energetic crafter, she is also quite a prolific writer..her musings are quite entertaining! check it out here.

at $15.00 a piece, you can afford to bring the whole lot of them home because who knows what kind of mischief they are up to once the doors are locked and the lights go out!

you asked for it "SALE"

omg, literally the best sale we've ever had. 40-60% off already marked down stock, 20% never been marked down stock, 30% off lamps, 10-30% off consignment and pop up shop items! you don't want to miss this! see you soon!

sketchbook series

i am so excited..kandi everett just dropped off her work that will be displayed from july 7th..this is one show you don't want to miss. it's an amazing display of work..and i can honestly tell you, you don't want to wait on these. they are priced between $80 to $180 each which is quite a steal for an original one of a kind piece of art.

we're really jellin' here!

some really exciting things happening around the shop. our "found" art show is coming to a close and we have kandi everett's one woman show happening soon. trust me there will be some amazing pieces and you'll just have to wait and see.

in the mean time "the box jelly" has just popped up in part of our space. it's a community workspace. although the concept of co-work spaces have been around for some time, it's still a fairly new concept here in our islands. after all, who wants to spend another afternoon sniffing coffee in another boring starbucks when you can work and be in a gorgeous one of a kind environment like fishcake.

d.i.y. it!

my spring cleaning started a little late this year..but i finally finished it this weekend. it feels so good be organized again..i found all these little half finished d.i.y. projects stashed away in this corner and that. but now that i know where all my tools are it's time to finish them up.

summer time is the best time for projects for me. since the days are longer, i always feel like i have more time to dilly dally around..here are just a few i plan on working on this summer. what about you?

not sure how this will work out or where exactly i'll be putting it but i love this thumbtack graphic.

i absolutely love this doily lamp...now just to find some doilies!


love this faux cameroonian headdress via design*sponge.
