I had some excellent finds yesterday that included striking a motherlode of Hawaiian postcards. I also found this beautiful Rotoruan carving from New Zealand, an old Appleton Rum recipe brochure, and a Coco Joe-ish Don Ho "Suck 'Em Up" ashtray. You can view scans of all the postcards on the first 2 pages of my Vintage Hawaiiana gallery.

My favorite is this postcard of the Hula Hostesses at the Hawaiian Pavilion at Expo '70 in Osaka, Japan. I spent a week at Expo '70 as a kid, and I remember these gorgeous gals in their Mod polyester Muu-muus very well.
