for Maryland at least. I happened by the local Goodwill this morning before heading off to work and had quite a score! I was just finished looking through the baskets and wooden junk and came across a wooden Hawaii souvenir bowl with a hip looking ‘50's motif. I was happy with that for $1.00 and was heading to the door when I saw a Hawaiian Inn Leilani mug for 50 cents! (I know in other tiki-plentiful areas that wouldn't be a big deal but here in rural Bel Air Maryland that is a major score! This is only the second tiki mug I've ever found in a thrift store!!) Okay so I was walking to the counter to pay, satisfied with what turned out to be a pretty fruitful excursion when I saw it! In the showcase near the counter were two Fezzes! One was a Boumi fez with the rhinestone face - the other was almost the same in appearance but said Lulu above the jeweled design. The price said $25.00 - the lady at the counter said she would let me have one for $20.00! I was ecstatic wearing the fez home with my bag full of decent loot. Will post a picture of the fez – it is stunning!!
