NO HEMP SHOWER CURTAIN YET

Readers called in on last week's question: Where to find a hemp shower curtain? Close, but no success at gaiam.com, a company known for its eco-products that ships to the Islands; a customer service rep tells us they no longer stock a $10 hemp liner. We'll keep hunting, but if you find one, drop a line to mritz@honoluluadvertiser.com or call 525-8035.
