Hi Leigh,
I'm so disappointed there is no peek at Heather's new tote. I know it will be gorgeous anyways so I may order some for myself. I love her green with aloha tote and always receive compliments about them. I've never heard about Fresh Cafe before but did notice the crowd outside last weekend. I told Tate what ever it is, we should stop by and take a look. Now, I have a good reason too. Aloha, Kym
aloha kym! before you order, you should know that the 2-for-$10 deal is for heather's green with aloha tote design.
i've heard fresh cafe is quite yummy but have yet to stop in since it switched over from queen's candy shop. definitely something to explore for your 52 new project!
Hey Leigh, thanks for the response. I thought about it after I sent the response. I guess I was just wishing that it was for a new tote. I would love to see another design from her. Yes, Tate and I are always looking for new things to try for my NEW52 project. It has been so fun! You and David should give it a try.
How do you order the green with aloha totes?
aloha barbara - please email heather at the address posted above to order the totes. remember to mention hapa hale if you live outside of maui & kaua'i.
