Finding any mugs in Massachusetts seems to be a rare thing. Today I went to a thrift shop who remembered me from last time, looking for mugs. So, I asked any tiki mugs today? Yup, they said we put them out for you to find at the end of the aisle.

Went to the end and found a nice looking Orchids green R-5. Off to the left I spotted another, snatched that one up too. My camera is not working, so here's an Ooga-Mooga link to the mug. I think this is more fun, cause I like surprises..

Now here's the best part.. I only paid $1!!!!! No chips, no crazing, but some paint rub-off. I ran out yelling SCORE!!! I'll post a pic when I can.

On my way out, the guy's parking lot was a sheet of ice, and I went up and on my ass. I never let go of the mugs, but my elbow is sore as hell.

Cheers!

Rick

Edit After cleaning the mug up I notice two small hair line cracks, but still a great find.
