Lookie what I got last night! - Collecting Tiki

(where's the "rolleyes" smiley when I need it) I appreciate the value of preserving traditional tiki knowledge. That doesn't mean there aren't fun ways to express the concept, or to incorporate some authentic tiki into what is an overall tropical/Polynesian theme. If you're wealthy enough to purchase and decorate with only authentic items, good for you. But most of the free world is filled with working slobs like me, and we have to make do with the budgets we have. Suggesting an item and saying it is "only $1500" is ludicrous for most of us. $1500 is a lot of food and living expenses for me.
