Wonderful bone carvings

Sami Fevaleaki was born on the South Pacific island of Tonga and is very well known for his amazing and beautiful bone carved necklaces.
Many movie stars wear his pieces and we were fortunate to be invited to his home.

Getting ready for the art retreat.....

Our Hawaiian Art Retreat begins tomorrow, so today we are getting our yummy local fruit.
At the Saturday market an artist by the name
of Sammi sells his handmade bone carvings.
They are so beautiful and full of deep meaning.
Of course, Gail, Patricia and I each had to purchase one.
Tomorrow we will be driving into Waikiki to pick up the ladies. These retreats are so much fun. I will be posting photos, so be sure to check back. Aloha for now.
