Man, did we find some tiki buys down there! Unfortunately no good vintage mugs, but some great (Mainstream) finds, none-the-less. 1.) Old Navy Outlet. Stacey found her a "Tiki Lounge" visor. I saw some pajama bottms, but since I don't wear them, I passed. Cute tiki kids shirts. 2.) Disney Store Outlet: All Mickey fans, take note. My brother and I bought some cool Disney-tiki shirts for $19.99. (Beige in color with little dancing Mickeys and Donalds around huts and Mikey / Donald tikis). Actually very cool, even dressy down there! Traditional Hawaiian style. 3.) Gap Outlet: Don't get me wrong, I rarely wear Gap - but could not pass up a cool shirt with a traditional temple tiki on it for $2.00! 4.) Le Gormet Chef: Ahhh, modern tiki stuff - functionable, usable...and if it breaks, there are no tears! Everything for a awesome picnic luau. I got some really cool drink stirs, clear plastic tumblers (very wide), some pineapple s&p shakers, pineapple drink picture and mug with lid. There was sooo much other stuff!! Hula girl cheese spreading knife set, hula girl bug net to keep the flies off your food, tiki candles, even a hula / tiki set of wine bottle markers - whatever that is. If you get the opportunity to find one of these outlets - take advantage & take some money! I had a ball in this store & the great thing is, I can actually use the stuff purchased rather than simply showing it & paranoid when someone picks it up! (Com'on, I'm not the only one in here that is that way...be honest!) Other stores within Pigeon Forge & Gattlinburg held many (commonly seen on ebay) items that one can find cheaper in a Archie McPee catalog. But atleast I saw them. I did hit a couple antique stores, but only found one Orchids Lelani mug - too common for the price they were asking! And, be sure to give yourself time to hit the flea markets along the superslab along the way - unfortunately my wife caught a cold and that kinda kept us from stopping as we had wanted. I apologize for the lengthy post - hope no one minds. Any questions, feel free to ask. Happy hunting! -Stingray :sheckymug:
