There really hasn't been too much up here lately but I've also been pretty busy to look! I'm kind of waiting for the flea markets which start up again in April. Here are a few thrift store finds I have found lately.

Two cool Tiki's made by HIP. Their about 4" tall and have the original tags on back:

On the left here is a resin type Maori carving. Good details and neat style of carving. In the center is a old Coco Joe letter opener, or shank, as I like to call them! On the right is a little ceramic Moai statue that was picked up at a Chinatown dollar store.

Nice old ceramic Tahitian Drummer. No shade but in excellent shape. There was no matching girl around but for only $15 couldn't pass this one up.

At first I wasn't too sure about this one. It was cool looking but was a little bit scratched up. These table candle lamps are nice and something you don't see too much still with the netting material on them.
The glass is dark red and some of the paint was coming off so I nearly passed it up. These look really cool lit up so I figured the glass has at least one good side so I figured I would get it. Especially when I turned it over and saw it still had the original tag on the bottom:

Recently, I saw some pictures here on TC, possibly of Don The Beachcombers (?), and you can see these lamps on the tables. If anyone remembers, please let me know.

Thanks and Mahalo, TabooDan
