That's the spirit! After so many folks picked up their chisels, it's now time to get into basketry! Get some baskets, Tapa, fishnet, nautical rope and cork and so on and have fun. Some TCers have already begone and come up with some cool designs. I wish I would have had more room in the BOT to devote to Poly Pop lamps, they have always been among my favorite objects. I used to have a lamp brochure from the Sea and Jungle store, but it got "lost" (lent out to unknown/never returned). Next to O.A. and Orchids they were the largest Poly Pop lamps dealer. Design borrowing was common. But a lot of lamps were also made up by the decorators on the spot while building a Tiki restaurant.
