Paradise on a Hanger Since 1990. Kitchen table
start-up from sunny Crawford, Colorado (pop. 250). Steve cut out shirts.
Curielle sewed at the kitchen table with Briana strapped in the backpack.
Curielle figures she’s probably gone around the world twice with the miles
that she’s put on her trusty Elna sewing machine. Generously sized with
beautiful tagua nut buttons. 10% of the profits of Paradise on a Hanger
are donated to Camp Rock... a not-for-profit camp for kids. Dedicated to
the preservation of our oceans. 10% of profits go to protecting marine
environments. Made in USA. HAWAIIANA HAWAIIANA: Looking to surf the net about Hawaii before

miles on horseback from Hilo to peer into the boiling fires of Halemaumau.
A grass building was built on the Halemaumau Crater rim to shelter these
adventure seekers. It was Hawaii’s first tourist hotel. HAWAIIANA: In the early 1900s steamships were Hawaii’s
tourism life line. It took 4-1/2 days to sail from San Francisco to
Honolulu. The renown Matson Line provided the majority of this first class
service to the islands. Beginning in 1936 visitors were able to fly to
Honolulu on the Hawaii Clipper for $360 each way. Life on the islands was
rapidly changing! HAWAIIANA: Honolulu is second only to San Francisco in
restaurant spending —
