I posted this on the Funhauser thread in the Marketplace forum, but I thought I'd post it here as well in case there are people who don't check that forum who would want to know.

From Funhauser's website (http://www.funhauserdecor.com/):

"It's with great sadness that I must announce the closure of our little shop. We've endured some difficult times in the last year and it is no longer feasible to keep it going. This decision has not come easy as much love, hard work and time have gone into creating a unique and fun shopping experience.

I want to thank everyone who's supported us in the last six years. Seeing people smile and laugh at the items we sell has been extremely rewarding. The best part of our business has been our customers. I've come to know so many amazing people through this venture and that will live on regardless of what lies ahead.

I also want to remind everyone that in these difficult times, there are many small local independent retailers that are struggling to survive and need your support. Please consider them when shopping. They bring you a unique selection of items that are often locally made. Your dollars will go back to the community you live in.

We'll see you out there with much love!!!

Peter & Alan"

I'd like to say thanks, Peter and Alan, for your dedication to the tiki community, for organizing two tiki gatherings at the Waldorf, and good luck to you both in whatever comes next.
