New local craft store

Good evening everyone! Actually, it's morning, but I haven't gone to sleep yet, so it's still night time to me. For all you blogging peeps in the Aloha State, there is a new craft store on the east side of Oahu! Pineapple Cove is officially open! Located on the upper level of the Kahala Mall, right by the sliding glass doors to get to the theatres, Pineapple Cove is the newest paper craft store on Oahu. I met ManLe Hong, the store's owner and manager. We talked and talked and talked! ManLe is such a sweet and personable young woman! Anyhoo, after talking for a while, I decided to "browse" around the store. Now tell me - who can go to a brand new craft store and not buy anything??? Not me! I bought some paper (not shown), a couple of stamp sets, silver stickles and two packs of Thickers. I can't wait to use the Thickers!

So, for all you local crafting sisters (and you Island visitors as well), please come and check out Pineapple Cove. With the tough economic times that we're living in, we need to support our local businesses. ManLe has been lucky enough to start her own business, doing something she really loves! How many of us can say that? Congratulations, ManLe, on living your dream! Best wishes and much success to you!
