Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi waiwai kūikawā, a home ʻokoʻa paha, ʻike ʻoe i nā hopohopo me ke kūʻai aku. Maopopo iā ʻoe, ʻoiai ʻo ka poʻe a pau i kipa aku i kou wahi i aloha iā ia, ʻaʻole paha i loaʻa iā lākou ka koa e kūʻai. No laila pehea ʻoe e kūʻai aku ai i kahi waiwai kūikawā? Pehea ʻoe e ʻumeʻume ai i kahi mea kūʻai kū hoʻokahi no kahi home kūikawā?

Hele mai ia ma ke ala āu e hoʻolaha nei!

Hoʻopiʻi nā hale maʻamau i kahi hālāwai ʻokoʻa o ka poʻe kūʻai. Aia nā mea kūʻai aku ma laila, e ʻimi kikoʻī ana i kekahi mea ʻokoʻa, kahi mea maʻamau ʻole - kahi waiwai kū hoʻokahi.

ʻO wau iho, ua hāʻule au i kēlā ʻāpana. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke wehewehe i ka waiwai aʻu e ʻimi nei, no ka mea, ʻaʻole au i ʻike. Ua ʻike wale au ʻaʻole oʻu makemake i ka hale ʻoki kuki.

Ma hope o ke kūʻai ʻana i koʻu home mua, he puka ʻīpuka pōhaku, e nānā pono ana i ka muliwai ʻo Hudson ma NY, ua maopopo iaʻu aia kekahi mau mea kūʻai aku e like me aʻu. ʻO ia ke kumu i hoʻomaka ai wau i Special “Finds…”, kahi e kūʻai aku ai mākou i nā waiwai maʻamau ʻole.

ʻOkoʻa nā mea kūʻai waiwai kūʻokoʻa mai nā mea kūʻai aku ʻē aʻe no ka mea kūʻai maʻemaʻe lākou i ka manaʻo, nānā lākou i nā "ʻoiaʻiʻo" ma hope - ma hope o ka pili ʻana i ka manaʻo me ka waiwai. No laila pono kāu luna e hoʻolaha i nā mea e pili ana ka mea kūʻai waiwai kūʻokoʻa.

Eia keʻano o kahi pānaʻi aʻu i kākau ai mai kekahi o kaʻu mau papa inoa mua:

Hōʻike ka hoʻolaha i ka mōʻaukala o kēia poina "ʻIke…" kūikawā. ʻO kēia waiwai kūikawā he nui nā hāʻawi a kūʻai aku i loko o 3 mau lā.

No ka Cottage Nostalgia 

Paʻi ka puka pale i ka wā e kīkī ai ke keiki ma kekahi puka a laila ma waho o kekahi. Leʻa ka ʻakaʻaka ma ka hale i ka pāʻani ʻana o nā keiki i ka peʻe ma ka pā. Hiki i ka poʻe makua ke inu i ke kī hau i loko o nā rockers ma ka lānai puni. Hoʻopili ʻia kahi lole gingham i nā papaʻaina pīniki kahi e hoʻowalewale ai ka lemonade a me nā keke i ka ʻai ʻana mai ka poʻe hele. Ua ola ʻo Nostalgia Cottage i kahi moʻolelo pilikanaka waiwai kahi i ʻākoakoa ai nā hoaaloha a me nā kaiāulu i kēlā me kēia makahiki no nā manawa like ʻole. I kūkulu ʻia i ka makahiki 1908 e ka ʻohana Tanner kaulana, noho ʻo ia mai ke alanui ma kahi o 3 ʻeka. Ua pena hou ʻia ke keʻokeʻo, me ka hale hou a me nā mea hou o ka ʻenehana nui, ke hele nei ʻo ia i ka hana hou. ʻO kona mau pā paʻa e paʻa i ka moʻolelo o ka pumehana, ke aloha, a me ka haʻaheo, ʻike maopopo ʻia i nā kikoʻī o kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona kumu i koe - ka papahele ʻoka i ʻoki ʻia mai nā kumu lāʻau ma ka mahiʻai ʻo Tanner, nā ʻoki kumu a me nā ʻano, nā paia plaster i ka foyer, e piʻi nui ana. He 11 kapuaʻi nā kaupaku, 4 lumi moe pena hou a me 2 lumi ʻauʻau. He kumu maoli ka lumi kuke a pono ka hoʻoponopono hou ʻana, akā nui ka wahi me kahi lumi ʻaina kakahiaka kaʻawale. ʻO kēia waiwai kahi kāwele mākaukau a kali i kahi mamao e hele ai i ke kūʻai, ʻaina a me nā hale lapaʻau. Me kahi 2800 kapuaʻi square, hana ʻo ia i kahi B&B maikaʻi loa.

E noi i kāu luna e wehewehe i kāu waiwai "i ka manaʻo", i hiki i ka mea kūʻai aku ke 'ike i ka "moʻolelo" o ka waiwai, aiʻole pehea e noho ai ma kāu waiwai, a ma kou home, mai kahi a lākou e noho nei, kāu hoʻolaha waiwai.

ʻO ia kā mākou e hana ai, ma Special “Finds…”. A holo pono ia!

No nā manaʻo'ē aʻe e kōkua iāʻoe e kūʻai i kāu waiwai kūikawā, e heluhelu i kaʻu pou: Pehea e uku ai i ka hale
