Aloha all
New member in London Ontario Canada, eh.
My Grandmother was born (1908) in Hawaii and raised there, so have always had Tikis and other Hawaiian/ Polynesian/ Japanese art and stuff around. Even have an original Leeteg painting! As a kid I use to spend ALOT of time studying that picture,lol.
I have just recently started on the Tiki mug collecting. I'm kind of oblivious to things till it catches my eye and really didn't know about them.
About four months ago my girlfriend of seven years dumped me (this gets better, I hope?) and to ease my sorrow was doing some E-Bay'ing. I happened to run across the Tiki Farm O'opu Hue mug/bowl. Back story here…two years ago the girlfriend and I were in Hawaii and went scuba diving (first for both of us), she was really nervous but went down. Well the whole time she was down there, there was this Puffer fish that hovered right on her shoulder. The dive instructors took our picture under water and sure enough there was the Puffer fish on her shoulder in the picture. So after seeing this Tiki Farm O'opu Hue I had to get it for her. She really loved it. Still didn't help, but I had discovered the wonderfull world of Tiki mugs! Well we have been talking the last couple of weeks and she even came over to my house a couple of times. By now I have about 32 Tiki mugs and she thought (like me) that they are the coolest things. Well she told me tonight she would like to see about us getting back together. I don't know if it was due to the power of the Tiki or not, but I'll run with it,lol!
So that's my story so far....
