Hang Loose beach hat checkered board against that sunlit

checkered board against that sunlit aqua totally delighted me

I got the opportunity to spend time with Mahea & Kelly of Coconut Ave and Taira of Salty Western  when a spot opened up for me at their Merrie Monarch pop up this spring

simple and peaceful

or Nicaragua

Or sitting in the shallow water at the beach

Hang Loose beach hat checkered board against that sunlitLike your very first attempt at a coconut hat Hang loose! (But get that weave tight next time) I attempted my very first coconut hat sitting in the backyard of my good friends hale in Kapoho, a place that no longer exists ~ it had chattering palms and the best East side, Big Island morning lightnot to mention Champagne ponds, and their very own thermal pond in the back yard where we floated at night, watching the stars make their way across the sky.
