Just Fun Tropical Stuff Around My House

Thought I would share some of my favorite collectibles......
Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
This is the window seat in my home office.
Cooper is snuggled up next a coconut from Maui.
I sent this coconut to my husband Eric in 1994, when we were newly engaged :)
I bought one of these Hawaiian pillow covers from a Hawaiian vendor at Costco and I made the black and white pillow from fabric I brought back from Kauai in 1997.
I'm pretty sure I have more fabric left, I need to get busy and sew a couple more!
Hello cute little wooden Honu!
I picked it up on Kauai last summer.
I love Honu's!
It's so fun for me to surround myself with my collection of vintage vases.
I am using most of them in my home office for cute office supply holders!
Tiny, little "Weil ware" cup and saucer, ahhhh...... Awesome old "Shawnee" vase, one of my favorites. I love this vintage liqueur jar dated "1961". (Thanks Michelle!) This is a such a great book about Hawaiian houses! It is titled "Hawaiian Houses Now". Check it out if you are into homes on the Islands. It's filled with wonderful photos.
