Honolulu Wood & Things Offers Collectible Nostalgia In Montrose

The window display at HONOLULU WOOD & THINGS makes you feel like you have been transported to a boardwalk gift shop on the east coast. You can almost smell the ocean air, popcorn and fresh salt water taffy! Sea captains, sailboats, pelicans and lighthouses all carved in wood beckon you in.

Upon entering is like stepping back in time... to the way retail used to be...and thankfully still is in Montrose. Like Montrose Bowl, Faye's, Grayson's Tune Town, Andersen's Pets, Tom's Toys, Once Upon A Time Bookstore and El Charro, Honolulu Wood & Things is a Montrose classic. They have stood the test of time. They show us that the types of shopping and dining done then are even more appreciated now.

Happy lanterns and a wall of unique children's gifts call for closer examination. What child wouldn't love a carved helicopter, race car or bank?

Figurines, sea life, pirates, fish! Are we having fun yet?

All of this the vision and "home away from home" of husband and wife, Montrose building owners and merchants RUDI and MIEN PRANATA. This gracious couple have been a special part of Montrose for a long time. A treasure to the town and and an inspiration showing us how the small town life can be enjoyed.

As you gaze out the window onto Honolulu Ave. you appreciate the old and the new. A harmonious blending of both. Honolulu Wood & Things is worth a leisurely visit. Allow yourself time to explore the aisles. Look up, look down, look all around. You are sure to find something that you didn't know you were looking for.

You'll find Honolulu Wood & Things at 2275 Honolulu Ave. in the heart of Montrose.
