Took me a while to find this thread...I’ve been lurking around TC for many years, mainly to pick up tips on restoring rattan or working with bamboo (I did interior design work for a while). I really enjoy reading the posts, very informative and entertaining! Anyhow, I'm Gina, currently residing in northern New Jersey with hubby D, 2 parrots (Hero & Martiki), and the rest of the menagerie, and have been obsessed with Tiki-stuff for quite a while now. Sometimes I blame it on the many family birthday parties at places like Jade Fountain or Lee’s Hawaiian (both gone to the great Polynesian luau in the sky), but the truth is we both think all things Tiki are just plain fun and D looks great in Hawaiian shirts! Our Tiki collection is pretty small (a few mugs, some housewares, lots of old barkcloth, a ridiculous amount of ephemera, etc.) but our alcohol collection is huge, and we regularly make our own mixers (orgeat, grenadine, etc.). Future plans include finishing our Tiki bar (so far, the 5-year project paradise) and getting to know more tiki-philes in the tri-state. Aloha & mahalo, Gina
