This week's stuff:

A Maori doll with a hei tiki and moko. It has written in pen "Rotorua 1989" on the back of the box.

Tiki shot glass:

HIP Lava Nude Princess

I was glad to pick this one up because I was planning on bidding for one on ebay that was coming up later on the very same day. I ended up paying less for the one at the swap meet than the shipping would have been on the one on ebay. Usually, I would overpay for the one on ebay first, and still buy the cheaper one in the wild the next week to bring my average cost per unit down. Some times doing that helps me rationalize my overspending on ebay for stuff.
Speaking of overspending on ebay: Here's my Hapawood version of the Nude Princess next to the lava version I just got

Seems like one version is nuder than the other nude version.
Now I need a hapawood vesion with a skirt and lei, and a fully nude lava version. Then my collection, and life, will be complete.

Buzzy out!
