I think the best items I can come up with to coordinate with this post/recipe are these custom coffee mugs I painted a little while back for a customer who wanted some Hawaiian themed coffee mugs, complete with a tiki bar, a wedding cake, and some hula dancers. To this day, they’re still some of my favorites 🙂
