spoons and fork? - Collecting Tiki

(Valley Girl in every sense of the word) her parents had the Fork and Spoon on the wall of their home (as well as a lot of other handcarved wooden items). She told me that for the longest time she thought that the Fork and Spoon indicated that you were in a Filipino home because those were the only homes that had them on the walls. Now we have her parent's Fork and Spoon on our wall on either side of a Bosko mask. So my guess is that the Tiki connection is associated with the Philippines. Chris
