I tend to whine about how I never find tiki mugs in thrift stores, except of course a new Vic's coconut mug every darn time I visit a certain SF thrift.

But this week has been rather startling:

I owe that nice growly little Daga mug to the generosity of mrsmiley, who kindly let ME buy it. Out of pity, I'm sure 8)...many of you have seen his awe-inspiring collection.

The Trader Dick's surfer girl is the cutest one I've seen from that establishment, but of course the Islander girl made me squeak with joy.

Total cost: $14. Oh, and I forgot to include the little coconut purse.

Me hoi-hoi!!

p.s. the weird postcard was a must-buy...circa 1920's, it is a "cover all the bases" type good luck charm. You get: four leaf clovers, a wishbone, a horseshoe, and something that looks like a feather. Oh, and a PRE-Nazi swastika, ya know, from when they were SANSKRIT symbols for lovely things like joy and eternal life (sigh). Best of all though...it says "May you live long and prosper."

Well...as I AM a Trekkie-Tiki-Film Noir Nerd from way back, how could I resist?

Maybe it'll even bring me...hey...it DID bring me good luck!
