Went again to Home Goods today and, this time, returned with Tiki Farm's Martiki ($12.99) and 3 Ono Lono's ($6.99). They even had, if you can believe it, a Tiki bar!!! Complete with 2 stools - I couldn't come home with that, as it was not cheap, but a Tiki Bar?!?

The good thing, of course, is that Tiki merchandise (at least the new stuff) is finding its way into the mainstream market at a discount! I am wondering if this also a bad thing. Already, some of my sources for Tiki are drying up. I have an antique dealer who makes special effort to find Tiki for me while on buying trips and she says that it is becoming harder and harder to find Tiki items.

John Q. Public is jumping on the Tiki bandwagon and I don't know if I'm

:) or :(

about the whole thing. Might open the market for Tiki, might drive up prices to meet new demand, might stem the flow of vintage Tiki into the market...I'm at a loss...
