When I was in Baltimore in the late 80's, I found more great stuff in the thrift stores than I could carry home! Some of it is still prized to me. I think B'more is a pretty conservative town and the good stuff didn't get snatched up. Maybe. We found some tiki stuff in an antique store in a small town near here this weekend. We got two of the Disney, two-face, Polynesian Village clear mugs for $4 each. Vintage. One is twice the normal size. We have not seen one like that. But the price stickers said "Clown mug" and "Ugly face mug." We see plenty of tiki mugs around here. Too many Orchids of Hawaii and especially the surfer girl mugs. Our dream is to rent a large truck and tour the Midwest and Florida and all over, just thrifting and piling up the awesome stuff old people toss out of their basements... |
