Full Fathom Five

Our family was looking for something to do while a tropical storm was dumping rain all day and we ran across Full Fathom Five while doing some shopping. Christine was having an art class that Friday so we signed up. She is a very creative artist and we had a lot of fun while she guided us through an hour and a half art project class. Even treated us to a beer. Christine and her husband are very fun and personable and have a lot of great pieces in their shop. Will definitely stop by again next trip.

Stopping at the Tanaka Plantation Store Complex in Kahuku on a drive around the island with my significant other, I went into Full Fathom Five, a new store in the complex. I’m so happy I did!
I love unique and unusual things, especially jewelry, and was immediately taken with the sea glass jewelry of Christine Pagano! Made with wire, chain or leather, each piece is unique and can be worn «hard,» meaning never taken off for months or even years at a time! Keep in mind that these pieces are glass, so a modicum of care is obviously necessary so as not to completely shatter each one-​of-​a-​kind piece.
I found a piece that was «me,» and Christine immediately set to customizing my piece to my exact specifications! I proudly wore my piece out if the boutique and can’t wait to show it to family and friends! The versatility of each piece allows wearing it long or layered and shorter.
Mark (Christine’s spouse) and Christine shared an article that was just in yesterday’s Star-​Advertiser «Buy Local» Section on page B2, by Erika Engle, which I happily read while Christine busily worked on my piece. They are celebrating their 10^th wedding anniversary today, July 4^th! Congratulations!!!
And Christine offers classes; definitely going to do that when I get a group of friends together!
Full Fathom Five is definitely worth a stop as you explore the wonders of our beautiful North Shore! Woo hoo!
