Lehua Birthdate: Apelila (April) 30th, 2008 Lehua is named after the beautiful red flowers of the indigenous Hawaiian Ohia Tree which grows in abundance on the lava rocks of the Big Island of Hawaii. Lehua is dancing the sacred, ancient Hawaiian Hula. Watch her closely! She will dance just for you, inviting you to enter her sacred space so that your beauty can unfold like the Lehua Blossoms of the Ohia Tree. The flowers in her lei symbolize Lehua blossoms which are sacred to Pele, the Big Island’s Volcano Goddess. |

Sewn onto her cradle are two big Lauhala (leaves of the Hawaiian Hala tree) flowers, one on each side. The bedding is made sewn of cotton with a yellow background with red Hibiscus blossoms, palm trees and Hula dancers. |

Lehua has a unique personality. Her cradle is signed, dated, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

When Lehua is tired from dancing she closes the curtains of her cradle before she goes to sleep. A small, gold colored Nai’a (Dolphin), Lehua’s Aumakua (Guardian Spirit), hangs in the center of her cradle. He protects her at all times. |
