It’s Halloween in the Menehune village! There is so much excitement in the air! Halloween is Ivy's favorite time of the year. This year, Ivy is dressed up as a little witch.

Together with her big sister Amelia, they carry their Pala'ais (pumpkins) and zoom on their brooms to the Menehune Ohana (family) casting blessings and magical spells of Aloha (love) upon everyone they meet. Ivy’s happiness is contagious and in no time all the Menehunes wear big smiles on their faces, sharing their favorite Halloween treats, Mai’as (bananas) and Kahikis (pineapple), with each other.

Ivy’s Tutu (grandmother) made her Halloween costume. She sewed a black cape and pointed hat out of black spider web material. Then Tutu sewed an orange skirt and matching top. The color orange symbolizes joy and sunshine and matches Ivy's mystical spirit. Tutu wove green and yellow flower leis which Ivy wears around her hips and hat. Tutu crocheted Ivy’s pointy black witch’s shoes and decorated the tips with small black crystals. She also crocheted Pala'ai, the pumpkin, and embroidered a face onto him. Then Tutu gave Ivy an orange Plumeria flower to put behind her ear and her magical kitchen broom, because a witch just has to have a broom. Ivy’s witch costume was Tutu’s gift of Aloha (Love) to her Mo’opuna (granddaughter). Ivy loves to wear it. It makes her feel like a real little Hawaiian Menehune witch.

Ivy is about 4” tall fitting in the palm of your hand. The body is made out of stretch cotton and wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. Ivy has tiny little hands and feet, buttocks, and a belly button. All accessories were individually handcrafted. Ivy is a one of a kind collectible display doll handcrafted by Hawaiian Dolls. She comes with her story and a certificate of authenticity.
