ALOHA!!! Welcome to my blog! With graduation season approaching us, I have decided to put one of my talents so use and share with all to enjoy! I'm anxious to let everyone know that I am going to be making and selling leis. You can give these precious creations, all each individually hand-made with lots of love and care. After searching locally, (Los Angeles Area), and via the Internet, I was blown away by the prices they were charging for leis! There were so few places where I could purchase locally and to have a single carnation lei sent from Hawaii I saw on some sites costing up to 75 dollars!!! As beautiful as they are, that's a pretty penny to pay! Well this is where I come in! I am doing this not only for the love of my culture, but to allow it to be shared with everyone, at a price that is more affordable!!! See below for pricing.
The only thing I ask of you thus far is to check out my site and even if you don't order anything, tell your friends!!! I am not doing much advertising so word of mouth is important! Tell your friends, family and co-workers!
Below are some samples of leis I made over the weekend. Thank you to my beautiful models, my niece Kamani and my lil Nylah Bean. Oh and Coco even managed to get into a few shots :)
Kamani is wearing a carnation lei, 44 inches with about 45 carnation flowers. I made these leis to fit the girls. Nylahs is much shorter, about 25 inches and around 28 flowers. Kamani is wearing a solid red lei and Nylah is wearing a yellow lei with the tips magenta. In the top pic, there is also a blue lei laying on the girls legs. It is about 48 inches with 50 carnation flowers.
Kamani is holding the blue lei here. You can get a better view of the beautiful colors of both leis.
Here, Nylah, being the character she is doing what she does best and that's, well cute! Also, a better view of the vibrant colors of her lei.
I also make orchid leis like these:
This is a single orchid lei. Below is a close up pic of how the flowers lay:
And below are the double orchid leis with a close up of how the flowers lay:
I did not make the orchid leis. I will be posting pics of my orchid leis within the upcoming days. I just wanted to show the other types I am making. I am also offering candy leis!
