Attention all Hawaii Residents...

All of you who are still lucky enough to be living in Hawaii, I have a HUGE FAVOR to ask of you. It may not be that huge to you depending on how often you go to the beach, but it would be huge to me and mean a whole lot if you could help me out!!!

First, the sad story. When we moved from Hawaii I had a box with all the stuff that I wanted to bring home that got lost in the mail. I've made my peace with losing it, but there were some things that I really wish I had right about now.


Item #1

Some white bleached coral from the beach...

Not a lot of it. Just a few pieces that I can put on a shelf. So that everyday I can look at it and remember Hawaii.

Item #2

Some sand from Hukilau Beach (if you got the sand from Temple Beach, or Castles, or Waimea I'm sure that I would never know the difference ;)). I had a jar of sand that I carried on the plane so that it wouldn't break in the bag, and it made it here safe. However when I moved to our condo it got thrown in a box and the bottle broke, so this is all I have left...

a little bit of white sand and black sand from the Big Island.

I've been feeling sad lately that I don't have these two little things from Hawaii that I wanted to have around my house. But the thought occured to me that there might be somebody in Hawaii that would be nice enough to gather these two little things and mail them to me.

I will totally pay you for shipping and for your troubles!!! You name that price (within reason people!!!) Or if you want me to use my skills to make something for you I will do it!!! I'm pretty sure that you will be my bff if you help me out, and I will give your children AWESOME wedding presents some day!!!

Please let me know if you are willing to take a fun little trip to the beach and help me out!!

Aloha!

No way.

I think this is the perfect opportunity for you to come HERE and get them yourself!!

Rude? Maybe. But doesn't it seem tempting... COME ON!! Everyone's doing it... or... something like that.

Meg said...

AHHH!!! I wish that I could go there! So badly! Sorry though, I can't.

Stef, I will love you forever!!! Is there some cute AButler fabric that you absolutly love that you would like dresses for your girls in? Cause I'll make them for you!

Oh, and I never did get a picture of that guy! Whenever I had my camera ready he wasn't there. That is too funny! One of my favorite Hawaii memories!

Meg said...

Oh, and Taylor... even though you wont get them for me I'll love you forever too! I wont make J a dress though.

We have bottles of sand all over our house from our favorite beaches. We even have some black sand from the Big Island. Did you go to the nudist beach, too?

Well, I was going to tell you that I'd have my brother send some with you since he's headed there on his mission next month, but it seems like you've got it well under control.
