Hi, Bob!
I've been to Hawaii several times, because I have family friends on Oahu. I most recently vacationed there last summer, and would love to get back there again this year. I don't actually like mangoes, which is a shame because my mom makes great coconut sticky rice with mango. She learned the recipe from my grandmother. When my mother was little, she and her sisters would sell sweets and noodles with my grandmother at a roadside stand in their village in Thailand. I bet you would love my mom's mango sticky rice!

Handcrafted jewelry
As many of you know I love my custom and vintage handcrafted guitars, but I'm also into handcrafted jewelry. I commissioned these stacking rings recently, as well as cufflinks for my work dress shirts (French cuffs...they're not just for boys anymore!). ...
MW - nothing gets past you!
Yes, the inscription on the rings paraphrases lyrics from the Led Zeppelin song "Over The Hills And Far Away." Glad you liked the cufflinks. Hope you are having a good week so far! Daos "Many dreams come true, and some have silver linings, I live for my d...
Hmmm . . . have you considered a pendant . . .
. . . with Cat Steven's lyrics, Daos? I listen to the wind to the wind of my soul Where I'll end up well I think, only God really knows I've sat upon the setting sun But never, never never never I never wanted water once No, never, never, never I listen t...
Art, how'd you know I love that song?
Cat Stevens seems to have left his best music behind him IMO for some other, er, spiritual pursuits, but I cannot deny the power of his golden oldies like "The Wind." There's a sequence in the great Cameron Crowe film, ALMOST FAMOUS, in which Kate H...
Thanks, Filip, but...
...your motorbike was much cooler! Care to trade? Happy Thursday! Daos
Thanks!
The hand hammering was what drew me to this artist! Thanks for your kind words! Cheers, Daos
Looks great
The rings, they have to have a snug fit on the finger? I'd assume if they are slightly loose, they'd move around and be a little annoying on the finger? Love the cufflinks! Cheers, Anthony
The rings aren't super snug...
...but the hammered texture causes enough friction between the four pieces to ensure that they don't clank around annoyingly. Although, I don't mind a little movement in something like this. I have a trinity or "rolling" ring from Tiffany that...
Nicely done, Daos …
I do like these handcrafted and personalised things. Unfortunately the only ‘jewellery’ I carry are watches, cufflinks and a pen. The knotted cufflinks are very nice. Well done. Andrew
I think that's plenty of jewelry...
...for a fella! Don't forget your wedding ring too, as that counts! I am still deciding on a fountain pen, by the way. I may come to a decision soon...stay tuned. Thanks! Cheers, Daos
I'm enjoying them...
...and will wear the cufflinks tomorrow to the office! Thanks for the nice note, JerryW! Cheers, Daos
Thanks, Bob!
This week I've been switching between my Longines Legend Diver and my Stowa Marine Original. Simple toys for a simple girl! Is it lychee season in Hawaii yet? I think they start to ripen next month! I am SO tempted to go back again this year to Hilo ju...
Lychees? How about the Hayden mangoes?
Mangoes are my fav but I doooooo love lychee! Just got back from dinner...a new Thai restaurant. Had mangoes with coconut milk over sticky rice as ONE of the desserts. Mmmmmm, Mmmm! Do get over here often? Haven't been to the Big Island for quite sometime...

Thanks, Ed!
I'm going to wear the 'links to work tomorrow. Now I just have to decide on which shirt to go with them...cherry blossom pink? China red? Royal purple? Decisions, decisions! Daos
