Whilst most people wouldn't know a tiki from a Womble, my work colleagues show more than a passing interest in my passion for all things tiki! And you know?...It pays off once in a while! Just the other day at lunch Ian, the 'tree man' at the council, said to me, "Did you see that tiki planter in the charity shop (thrift store)?". I said I hadn't, despite going in there most days. "Well it's not necessarily tiki, the faces are more like gargoyles", he said. Sounds positively hideous I thought, but...You never know? Anyway to cut a long story shortish we both went over to the charity shop and...HEY PRESTO!!! It doesn't do any harm to give people the benefit of the doubt - trust their judgment. We can't all be experts. I know I'm not! Sometimes people do see it, even if they are not too sure themselves!! How much was the Spanish Tiki Bowl? Five pounds - $10!! GREAT CALL IAN!! MAHALO!! All the Best from Tiki Towers - Trader Jim (Make mine a Mai-Tai in a very cheap indeed, Spanish tiki bowl!).
