Divine Planet

Went into this Divine Planet store today. Absolutely nothing of interest in buying today. They have a whole bunch of stuff. mostly geared towards. I dunno how to explain it. I once got a top and a shorts here months ago.
Two employees were by the register area. I walked past them within couple of feet. I was actually playing Secret Shopper. I stood nearby looking around, neither of them said Hi or Can I help you? They were talking story, not giving attention to the other customers in the store.
I didn’t make a purchase today.

Love this place because the owner hand makes many fine pieces for very reasonable prices. The store staff is very friendly, understands bargain shopping and is quick to point out things we don’t see. I was looking for sea glass jewelry and found custom made pieces, beautifully crafted and very reasonable. Will shop there again.

Pansy is a gem find. Yes pun intended. I was on the hunt for the perfect sunrise shell (more of a moonrise) and found a great one except they were earrings. Pansy custom made them into necklaces playing with the settings and stones until they were perfect. I couldn’t be happier and the price was very reasonable as well. Her work is great.

Beads and more
I went into the town of Kaapaa looking for beads and at this place there are many things. The beads were unusual well silver pieces that I made earring from surfboards and raw cut diamonds. I get so much compliments. I found a little purse with a great saying,” We all have baggage”

I’ve always been intrigued by Eastern philosophy, and if I didn’t have the patience of a flea I’d be a meditation guru by now. I can’t sit still and clear my mind long enough to be at one with the universe. I start thinking about what I’m going to make for dinner, whether I sent the mortgage payment, why the tip of my nose itches so badly and needs immediate scratching…
But I do love everything else about Eastern philosophy, which is why I wandered into Divine Planet one afternoon. There’s eco-​clothing woven from bamboo fiber, Chinese paper star hanging lamps, handmade Thai jewelry, batiked sarongs, silk drapes, scented candles and lotions, saris repurposed into throw pillows and throws, an entire wall of stunning Buddhist malas, and beads galore for stringing your own jewelry or meaningful mala. The woman running this location has a non-​pushy and welcoming persona that exudes Zen.
Prices are reasonable, and the sales astounding. I found a handmade, multi-​colored shift from Tibet with gold thread woven into the fabric for $ 10, marked down from over $ 60.
Not that you could ever feel stressed out on Kaua’i (OK, maybe «rush hour» on Kuhio would do it), but Divine Planet’s got yer om right here.
