I can't remember the name of the vendor who was from Hawaii.  He brought men's wallets made of some unusual material (animal), jewelry shaped like animals and flowers inset with shell, and a very popular small opaline angel figure.  I bought several for myself and as gifts.  I remember his story about holding the angel in his hand during plane flights.  Can anyone help and tell me who he is?

There was a vendor who sold eel skin wallets and key cases....that's all that I remember.  Name is gone !

@Kachina624 I bought a turqoise wallet from him too.  I think I used it for awile.  Don't think I have it anymore.  I would never buy something like that again.

Yes, Lee Sands, I had a few of his handbags and bought the angels. I have an angel in my bedroom watching over me.  I gave some of them away to friends and family.  One I gave to my friend who passed away and they put it in her coffin to be with her forever.

 

I always loved to see Lee on air.  I wonder what happened to him.
