A small, air conditioned studio in downtown Kapaa houses one of my favorites in Kauai. Catania produced beautiful henna art that lasted for my entire trip. I wasn't expecting the attention to detail and skill she had and I was impressed! It will be my first stop next year when I visit!

I was in this shop in January. The shopkeeper was extremely friendly and personable. She knew her products and mechandise very well. She would ask who you were buying for and some of their likes and dislikes. Then, she would make recommendations. I bought several gifts and gave them to friends on the Mainland who loved them The shop smells great too.

I loved browsing through the beautiful island inspired jewelry created by Lance and Shawn. From sea glass to Larimar, each piece will reflect a memory from the island. The prices were very reasonable and the majority of the jewelry is hand crafted. I highly recommend.
