Hawaiian Inspirations

I am officially a wife!  The wedding was wonderful- so much fun! My new husband and best guy friend from high school hit it off so well that we already have plans to visit him and his wife in Cali next month- yay! And the flower girl presents were a big hit!

Now we are on our Hawaiian honeymoon and I keep spotting quilting goodies.

First there was the prettiest newspaper I've ever seen, found in the hotel lobby. 

There there were some surprise finds at Walmart in the form of Hawaiian print fabrics and...

Japanese print fabrics. I never realized there was such a big japanese population here. 

 

And how about this crafty section in... Ace Hardware!! We were picking up the rental car and I saw a sign for Ace Hardware and Crafts and got curious, so in we went.  It really was crafts!  No fabric, but lots of yarn, home decorations, that sort of stuff.  Can we get one of these on the mainland?  Seems like the perfect hardware store to me- something for the husbands and for the wives :)
