Okay, Things are Back to Normal! (Whew!)

I think I put things back where they belong. What a relief. I was so worried that I truly messed up our page. I think it looks good...what do you think? Please feel free to leave the Sassy Sisters a comment whenever you want...we'd love to hear from you!

Just to catch you folks up on a few things, Michelle has been really busy with making special calendars, address books and notepads. I have been busy making scrapbook journals (they are SO cool). We'll post some pix soon.

Don't forget that the Ho'olaule'a at Alondra Park in Lawndale is just around the corner~~July 19 & 20. Don't forget to drop in say ALOHA, talk story and catch up with the Sassies. We'll have all kinds of cool stuff for you there...If you're interested in learning more about Ho'olaule'a, click on Alohaworld.com listed in the box to the right. You'll be able to find more info about it there.

~Aloha

Aw, Man!

I really messed this up. Some things from our page got lost in cyberspace somewhere...I'll have to fix it! How do you like the look of our page? I think it looks nice. I just have to find out where our side bars went?! We even lost our counter at the bottom...and our music! I have my work cut out for me tonight! Check back later for more.

Ho'olaulea (THE BIIGGG ONE!!) WE'RE IN!

WOW! Since starting our business, our goal has been to try to get out to most of the Hawaiian festivals in Southern California - Well, the most coveted place to be of any of the Hawaiian Festivals is HO'OLAULEA at Alondra Park. THANK YOU to Uncle John & Aunty Suzette Kaulukukui who helped us get the booth! THANK YOU TO MAILE LETULI who kept her eyes and ears open for us... AND THANK YOU to our MOM and DAD who are our most faithful fans and believe in us!! Last but not least, thank you my husband Mitch who makes sure we're always hydrated and Kim's husband who comes to the rescue in emergencies and last but not least BRYCE, ZACK AND NOAH, who help us load and unload!

THANK YOU MOM AND DAD!!! WE LOVE YOU!


The very first (original) Ho'olaulea was 30 years ago! And we were there!!! Our parents were big in the Hawaiian Community and had a hand in getting the festivals together... I think they have only missed maybe 5 Ho'olaulea's in the history of the festival. We've seen the festival go from North Hollywood to Devonshire Downs, to Northridge Park then broke off and ended up at Alondra Park. Our parents no longer are involved in helping to get the Ho'olaulea's together...one day, they figured, they'd put in their time and it was time for new blood, so now mom enjoys helping at the Aha hui O' Liliuokalani food booth and dad sits under the tree visiting with old friends watching and listening to the entertainment. This Ho'olaulea is always a success, its a time for us to visit with people we see once a year to catch up and share new things, find long lost friends or family and enjoy the entertainment...oh yah the most important...EAT AND SHOP! Back in the day...all of the booths used to have just hand made goodies from members of the clubs associated with the Hawaiian InterClub Council Southern California - somewhere along the way, things became commercialized - very commercialized... I like the feeling that Kim and I make our own stuff and hope that it will attract people who appreciate the hardwork and time it takes to produce our works of art...SOOOOO, Come visit us at HO'OLAULEA, our products are original, hand made and made with Aloha!!

WHERE: ALONDRA PARK IN LAWNDALE, NEXT TO EL CAMINO COLLEGE
WHAT: ADMISSION IS FREE BUT PARKING IS $2.00 AT THE COLLEGE
BRING: YOUR BEACH CHAIRS, YOUR WALLETS AND AN APPETITE
WHY: COME VISIT US
WHEN: JULY 19TH AND 20TH 10A-6p

A Hui Ho!

i am a DIY gal. i love to create custom, handmade items and give them as gifts, or use them in my home. but nowadays, especially with having my own photography business, i just don't have the time i used to, to create cute stuff. i love giving cute stuff to my friends and family, and especially my clients, who have been generous, warm and wonderful to us.

if you're like me, you don't have the time, you wanna hit up the SASSY SISTERS, kim and michelle. they are the creative minds behind the cutest products!!! i recently bought 2 boxes (see pic) for 2 colleagues of mine, as thank you gifts. they also have these cute, one of a kind, post it notes. i like to give these as gifts, because it's something practical, cute, affordable, and it's stuff people will use, but might not buy for themselves (we're always thinking of others).

they also make custom invitations, cards, clipboards, and lotion! the lotion,which was a citrus grapefruit fragrance smelled so good. i can see myself using this to start off my day!

they have pre-made stuff, but they also can customize any item. great ideas for shower gifts, favors, and thank you knick knacks for your fave person.

GO GREEN!! Chico bags are here!!!

The latest craze going green! These bags are perfect, lightweight, convenient and holds up to 20lbs!

TURN THIS


INTO THIS


The bags come in your choice of BROWN, BLACK, RED, ROYAL BLUE, GREEN, DARK PURPLE, PINK, MANGO (ORANGE). $5.00 EACH OR 5 FOR $20.00

A Tribute to our Dad....San Dimas Ho'olaulea...We're not rookies anymore...!

Here's the picture from our first festival. This is our Dad (aka Sam, Uncle Sam, Kamuela & Ganka) at his best - "Mcgyver!" He can fix everything.



Okay, so Kim and I survived another event! We are no longer rookies! Sorry, no funny mishaps with pop up canopies this week! Our day started early as we finished tying up loose ends home - from animals, to kids, to husbands...we drove out to LaVerne to pick up our Aunty Linda, she lives 5 minutes from the park the Ho'olaulea was held at. We drove into the park and all of a sudden saw a sea of canopies - I started getting butterflies in my tummy, cause here we are two sisters at our second fair, with homemade stuffs and then there's all these booths that looked like they'd been doing this forever (eventhough, they had to start somewhere too, right?)...selling stuff probably made in china, what the heck had we gotten ourselves into?!!. I thought we were competing with the big dogs now, there was no way we were going to survive this one!! WELL, let me tell you, we were the only booth with all handmade stuff made by us or members in our family. So there was no competition there, whew! After making my routine walk around to each booth, I walked back to our little shack so proud, that we HAND MAKE OUR OWN STUFF TO SELL! There was nothing else that compared to US! HOW COOL IS THAT! Not only that - our stuff is really pretty, one of a kind and you can only get it from us!!!

We are the Sassy Sisters (Kim in front, Michelle in back)



Our little shack!


Displaying our HANDMADE stuff! Not made in China, but the U.S.A!

These are the best smelling soaps ever! I promise, you will not be disappointed!




We shared our booth with our Aunty Linda, she's our dad's youngest sister - and boy oh boy, it sure didn't seem like it was her first time selling her goods. First of all, her talent and creativity is amazing (it actually runs in our family!) she finds old jewelery, broken jewelery or odd pieces, to create her "NANI'S." Nani's, named after our late grandmother, she always had her eyeglasses around her neck attached to a chain so she wouldn't loose them, we know there are plenty of eyeglass holders out there, but these are unique! Unique because, they are handmade,one of a kind and made from recycled material! Well how perfect is that - recycled products, looks pretty and one of a kind! By the way, Thanks Aunty Linda, Uncle Julio, cousins Marina, Rick and Joey for letting us crash your pad!! It was like home away from home! And thanks for feeding us too! Breakfast was yummmmyyyy!

Kim and Aunty Linda...

I named this one Lucy...she's sportin' some her Nani's...

We're Back!

Here are some pictures we took during our Ho'olaue'a weekend in Northridge. Our weekend was busy and a lot of fun.

WE SURVIVED AND A FUNNY STORY

Well, as you all know, Michelle & I had our first craft booth experience! What a weekend. We had such a good time. It was great seeing all of you there. Thank you all for stopping by to say HI! We appreciate all of your support. Needless to say, Michelle & I had so much fun. For our first time, we think we did pretty good. We survived "carniville" (as Brother-in-Law, Mitch puts it). We did wrestle with our "easy up"...Why they call it easy up, who knows? It wasn't easy for the Sassies to put up! Our tent broke in 4 places! So we knew our parents were on their way and when we called them to tell them what was happening, I said, "Ganka, we have big trouble in little China." (We laughed and laughed). We thought for sure our Dad, "McGyver" could fanagle something (after a little duct tape here and there) we thought we wer back in business...about an hour after we were set up on Sunday, our tent started to lean...really lean, like if someone just looked at it, it would crumble. Michelle and I looked at eachother and thought oh, no! One of the other vendors stopped by and said, "wow, that sure is a lot of duct tape you have up there". So, I called Brent to have him rush our easy up out to Northridge. Michelle leaned on one pole, just to stabilize that "easy up" until Brent got there, which was about 15 minutes later! We laughed the whole time. I'll post some pictures of our poor tent...it was pitiful. After the new tent was put up, we were truly back in business.

We had a good experience with a steady flow of visitors. We had some invitations to some boutiques coming up soon. Check back later for pictures!
