I thought I might as well post some of my purchases from this road trip. I bought these Accoutrements moai swizzles from a place called Golden Buddha in Kamloops:

The thrift stores there were dry after Tikiwahine came and cleaned them out. I bought the following at Funhauser (I think Pepe le Tiki was there, but I didn't introduce myself - maybe you remember some guy wandering around for 45 minutes, looking indecisive...?):

I needed a mug fix so I bought a couple of Dynasty mugs, plus TV Navy Grog mix and TikiQuest which are impossible to get in Edmonton. I could have bought so much more, but there's always next time. I found yet another Suehiro mug in Pentiction but other than that this is my only thrift store find of the whole trip:

The guy at the counter was holding firm. I tried to bargain him down but he wouldn't budge, so I bit the bullet and coughed up the 25 cents he wanted. It's a good thing I knew its "real value" or I might have just walked away... :wink: So in the end, I didn't find a lot, but what I did find was pretty sweet!
