Nice Finds everyone. I'm especially jealous of the SB Decanter and the Voodoo Grog Glass. The Velvet painting is cool too.

Here's what I've found since my last reply 20 days ago. It's actually been a pretty good month...

The Kon Tiki Mug and the lone salt (pepper?) shaker were found together at a thrift store I check seldomly, but this was the first time I'm found anything Tiki.
The middle darker Maori carving and the Moari wood box were found together at the Goodwill in the NW of Calgary.
The S & P shakers look like they were from Trader Vic's but actually come from the Mauna Loa. Which one I'm not sure. If anyone knows, I'd be happy to hear it...I found them at a Sunday Flea Market along with the Moari carving behind them.

This was a big find. The most stuff I've ever found at a thrift store in one trip. It's all from the NE Goodwill. Some Tiki-phile must have recently passed away (...Tiki A Moaikingbird?) The crappy thing about this find is that the store knew what it had...and priced it higher than usual. (How did Basement Kahuna once put it..."Kiss Goodwill Goodbye"?) I didn't care. It was still cheaper than eBay. But then again, I did already have most of it...

Oh, and what do you think of the sheet I'm using in the background? It's actually a Duvet cover and mattress sheet set I found at Value Village. I thought it looked like Tapa, but I'm no expert...
