Product Details
The Center for Disease Control has recommended the use of cloth face masks to help fight the spread of COVID-19.
This face mask is made from 100% polyester and includes two ear loops with adjustable grommets for a comfortable fit.
The printed area of the mask is approximately 7" wide by 5" tall. This mask fits well on adult mens' faces without the grommets but, due to the adjustable grommets, can be worn snuggly by adult women, as well.
Please note - this is NOT a surgical grade mask. It is not intended for any medical or commercial uses, whatsoever. It is a simple, cloth mask designed for everyday use to cover your mouth when out in public. The mask should not be used in any medical or surgical setting.
We make no warranties that the mask prevents infections or the transmission of viruses or diseases.

The people of ancient Hawai`i grew about 200 varieties of `uala, but only a few remain in cultivation. In Hawai'i, the cultivation of 'uala has been largely replaced by the Okinawan purple sweet potato (also know as ube), oiginally from southeast asia.
Sweet potatoes are highly nutritious, packed with vitamins and antioxidants (especially if you eat the skin). An old text I found says this about 'uala: He `uala ka `ai ho`ola koke i ka wi. 'The sweet potato is the food that ends famine quickly'.
In old Hawai`i, the cultivation of `uala was one of the few agricultural ventures shared by both men and women. `Uala is planted in mounds, ridges or flat ground, from sea level to 5,000 feet elevation. These plants will grow in areas of poor soil with limited rainfall, but thrive in loamy soil, producing larger tubers wh...
As a fine-art photographer of many years (initially in black and white large format film), my purpose is to capture and share the incredible beauty in our world. I have a passion for travel and photographing the many places I have been fortunate to explore. I am enthralled by both the grand scene of a live volcano or brilliant sunrise and the amazing detail and design of each tiny part of a flower. There is beauty and design in everything around us and the goal of my work is to share that and encourage everyone to look closely and take the time to see what is before us all.

I never knew the back story on these, only that they were brought to Hawaii on the canoes. What a lovely blossom! Thanks for this history on these. Featured in Hawaiiana. Aloha nui!
Heidi Fickinger replied:
