Here are my finds from the last couple of weeks:

Two bamboo mugs and a moai candle

Coco Joe hapa wood bowl that I've never seen before - it has a flower for each of the 6 main Hawaiian islands

I buy a lot of records - Polynesian and otherwise - but this is the most interesting one I've found lately. "Cinerama takes you on a South Seas Adventure to tropical islands set like jewels in dreamy cerulean waters..."

An old edition of Aku-Aku and the 1972 edition of Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide that I found today. It's pretty awesome, except for two things: he admits right at the start that some of the recipes have been "modernized" from the original 40s/50s versions and some of the recipes call for TV brand mixes instead of actual ingredients. I don't know if anyone else has commented on this (I didn't use the search function!) but otherwise I'm excited to start trying some of these drinks.
