WARD VILLAGE - WAIEA (New Project: Selling as of JULY 2014)

WARD VILLAGE Sales Center by Howard Hughes is located 1240 Aa Moana Boulevard.
Sales Center is open during business hours, but appointment is strongly recommended.

I love IBM building, a mid-century modern design by Vladimir Ossipoff in 1962.
He was born in Russia, raised in Tokyo, Japan - that I learned on wikipedia.
Previous owner GGP was planned to demolish in 2008, but later saved by HHC.

"GreenSleeve"

Great find to share with all ~ "GreenSleeve"on Etsy.com and LOVE it.
It's eco-friendly, and it also identify your cup like a wine charm. Out of all cup sleeves I can find on the web, this is the most affordable and attractive option I would recommend to anyone.

Organic material (jute fiber, felt-lined), simple idea executed just right. You can customize and personalize with your artistic touch if you like, but I must say "simplicity" is the beauty. I might add tiny grommet to keep it on my key chain. I hate to see myself looking for one I left at kitchen table.

When you order your coffee, just mention "I have my own sleeve". Barista or the customer behind you will get the idea...how cool is that! It's not about trend setter, it's about influence you may have to those around you. Hope you can plant the seed in your neighborhood.

Earth Day Inspiration

On Easter Sunday, I spent some time on YouTube, searching for Earth Day inspiration. I found Michelle Kaufmann's series of "Eco Principle" very interesting and visually appealing. YouTube has Live Green channel and SunChips has contest for the Green idea for $20K. Any sustainable idea? Check an episode or two here.

Earth Day

I've been working on my personal project on recycling coffee sleeves toward the Earth Day. I found this wooden bowl couple of weeks ago and just fell in love its fluid shape and tone of grain.

When you take out daily cup of coffee or tea, just keep the sleeve for the second, or third cup. It save the cost for the cafe, and it save the Earth.

You can find this bowl waiting for your coffee sleeve(s) at ING DIRECT Hawaii Cafe.
