Talk about coincidence,

Madam Bong purchased some carved nara wood purfume bottle holders from this gal on ebay. The gal said she had to go to Fountain Valley to pick up some bookkeeping work she does and she can stop by our house in nearby Huntington Beach to drop off my wife's purchases.

When she arrives at our house, she introduces herself as Jan, a striking Hawaiian women that must stand 6' tall. We all make small talk, then Jan tells Debbie (Madam Bong) that she has a beautiful carved nara wood dining table that seats 8. We decide to purchase it the following weekend.

So last Sunday we drive to this 'Jan's' house in Mission Viejo. Upon entering their house, (after removing thongs) we notice it's decked with beautiful hawaiiana of all sorts.

In particular, their is a nook in the entryway with a etched glass sort of bowl, surrounded by some koa carvings. My wife notices that it says something to the effect of 'In loving Memory - Rell Sunn'.

Come to find out, Jan is Rell Sunn's daughter and only child. Jan lives with her husband Tony and there gorgeous little daughter whose Hawaiian name escapes me now.

Jan and Tony are 2 of the most cool, laid back folks we've met in a long time. Jan has a side business importing and selling real nice carved nara wood and rattan furniture.

If anyone wants any information regarding their business, let me know and I'll contact her and get the OK to pass on the information.
