Mrs. BH and I had a very good day thrifting and antiquing in Minneapolis/St. Paul yesterday. On the barware side, L-to-R: Paul Marshall "Peanut" mug, souvenir Hurricane glass with box from the Kapok Tree Inn in Florida, and a souvenir Old-fashioned glass from Hawaii that I'm guessing by the style of artwork, dates from the '70s.

Here are some larger scans of the Krapok Tree Inn box and the Old-fashioned glass:

We also found this Australian aboriginal painting on eucalyptus bark, done sometime in the 1950s by Bob Berarangu of the Wulaki tribe. The scene depicts a frog and 2 freshwater turtles. The mask is of unknown provenance:

Finally, I couldn't pass up this souvenir LP from the Polynesian floorshow at the Bora Bora Room of the Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel. The music is great, and I'd be happy to rip it to MP3, if anyone's interested:
