FALL HARVEST arrives at Serendipity


Ghoulish gourds are fiercely peering out the windows of Serendipity in old Kapaa town.  They happily share their window seat along with distressed wall sconces, ornate Parisian mirrors & a black steamer trunk.  If you have yet to saunter through Serendipity, you are in for a Halloween treat.  The fact that Mona Ahloo, proprietress, is not always able to keep "regular" shop hours only adds to it's charm


Serendipity is located on the same block as Pono Market & Vicki's Fabrics in the heart of Kapaa town.

Wrist Leis by Kim

These beautifully made bracelets are made by Kim Horn.  Kim began to make these "wrist leis" when she was working temporarily on Kauai.  She lives on the big island full time working on Kauai just a few times a year.  Luckily she was wearing one of her creations the day she strolled into Bambulei (more than a year ago).  Bambulei has carried her unique bracelets ever since.  They are finished with a button closure & are semi-adjustible.  Priced at $90 they make a unique & affordable gift.


(L to R)   #1Fall Flowers, #2 Fall Holiday, #3 Golden Lei, #4 Harvest,  #5 Full of Life

#6 Holiday, #7 Cherry Pie, #8 Apple Harvest, #9 Cherry Blossom, #10 Purple Haze, #11 Quince Twist
(Fits a medium - Large wrist size.) Custom sizing available.  Please ask & we can measure the wrist lei's you are interested in.
