Tiki finds from my Vancouver Lushy/Waldorf roadtrip.

Got this Tiki plate in Red Deer for a buck.

2 Hawaiian shirts, also from Red Deer.

2 more shirts. The one on the left was a gift from Slack Ferret. Right: Bill Blass from Value Village, Calgary.


Patterns.

Mugs (L to R):

  1. Tiki Farm Ape from Funhauser Decor.
  2. Slacks bought a bunch of white Japanese restaurant mugs in Kamloops hoping to trade them. No one was biting so he unloaded this one on me. I don't collect this type of mug but I liked this guy's huge cranium. On the back it says "Suehiro at the Airport Inn."
  3. Trader Vic's Hawaii. Got this mug back in Edmonton after the trip.

Books:

  1. The Virgin Megastore in Vancouver had a whole bunch of Taschen Icon books at 35% off -- I bought Hula for myself and Tiki Style as a gift.
  2. Hawaii: An Uncommon History by Edward Joesting. Described as episodes from Hawaiian history written about in depth. 25ยข in Calgary.
  3. Shag's Around The World in 80 Drinks. A gift from Tiki A. Moaikingbird.

Also bought a book called Drawing for the Artistically Undiscovered by Quentin Blake and John Cassidy. Not Tiki except for these Slacks Ferret sketches:

And finally, I got a few postcards in Ponoka (I think). Not terribly Tiki except for Las Vegas Don the Beachcomber. Four are from the Madonna Inn. Is that a Witco in the Flintstone Room?
