Tiki Finds - Collecting Tiki

Stopped by the local sea shel shop and managed to score some sweet looking Japanese net floats for about $16.00 a piece... large floats, thick glass, minor imperfections, and with thick rope. I also managed to pick up some cute baby sized puffer fish for a song (have to go to St. Augustine next weekend for the big jumbos). I also ran across a few antique mugs in a thrift shop (saw them through a window), but the place was closed for Memorial Day. Hoping the Parent's can stop by there tomorrow for me. I forgot how cheap stuff can be if you actually get out there and find it... I have become a victim of internet shopping for too long. Looks like I will have a few Japanese net float lamps by week's end :) Gods I love making stuff by hand! Mahalo Krakatowa
