Calm down, it's not what it looks like... I mean alone in a tikilover sense. Living in Dublin, Ireland is not too conducive to my tiki obsession. EBay and the occasional foray into other online-shops are my only financial outlet in this regard... and boy oh boy do I outlet. I may be wrong but I think I am the only tiki collector in Ireland (collective sigh). Most people haven't an earthly what I'm on about when I mention the word. It has become my humble mission to change this by boring the pants off anyone who'll listen. I have at present 40 mugs in my humble two room flat and am in danger of chucking out my plants, my dog and my partner in order to accommodate more. Though I may keep the latter as he might come in handy for building shelves. I'm really delighted to see so many creative people on the forum, who not only collect but "give something back" to tiki. I used to sculpt a bit before I began down the road of teaching English literature and reading some of your comments has got me thinking about starting something in the area. At least it might slow the tide of my spending (unlikely). Another ambition would be to set up a tiki bar right here in Dublin, imagine 30 to 40 Irish men and women in a bar and not one of them drinking Guinness! dream on.
