Hapa Girl and I visited our friend Marilyn at the Maui Swap Meet yesterday. Â Marilyn, also known as @jamarilyn at Twitter, designs fabulous shirts and bags. I thought I should feature her on this blog for you to get to know her. Â Aside from designing shirts and bags, she is also an author and a nurse. She is very talented, and a warn hearted person. More information about her talents and products are found on her website, Amaryrillis of Hawaii.
Since today is the Weekly Winner day, I picked out some photos from yesterday as my entries. Â Here are some of Marilyn’s beautiful design:
