Ha! Me having to figure out a percentage is like having a root canal so I won't even attempt. I go to thrift stores 5 days a week - every week - and I come across actual tiki items at the about the rate of 1-2 a month. Tiki related items such as hanging lamps, monkeypod bowls and other jetsam - 3-4 a month. The problem with setting an accurate percentage is because of the months when I hit a real dry spell and can only unearth items at an inflated price at the antique mall.

Last week I had a real breakthrough in my collecting/hording sickness when I was actually able to bring myself to leave a Leilani mug on the shelf at the Goodwill... hopefully an appreciative person snatched it up!
