It's been a while since I've posted thrift store finds because I don't own a digital camera & have to borrow Tiki A. Moaikingbird's each time. Here's what I've found in the last month and a bit:

The stuff in this picture is all from one visit to Value Village at the end of June. I had a coupon for $3 off a $10 purchase, so I just kept looking and finding stuff.

2 wahine mugs from the Hawaiian Village in New Westminster B.C.

I got all excited because I found a website that seemed to indicate that this restaurant still exists but then I checked Tiki Road Trip and found out it closed in the 90's. 49¢ each

Coco Joe monstera leaf letter/napkin holder ("hapa wood"). $1.99

Pacifica House Hawaiian Cook Book from 1968. Lots of beautiful color photos (I've since seen later editions with the same photos in b&w), mint condition. $1.99

A large piece of Hawaiian fabric $5.99

Total, including tax:$8.51

Not an exciting find for most, but it's the first glass tiki mug I've found. And I like the way this picture turned out using only natural light.

Homemade Moai with strange paintjob

and from this weekend:

Trader Vic's (Hawaii) Tiki Liki mug and this Treasure Craft couple with a 1958 copyright date:
