Here are my finds from the last couple of weeks:
"Poolside Pineapple" mug from The New Frontier, Vegas; 3 Don Ho Polynesian Palace glasses; Tiki bottle opener; and Tiki Farm/Crazy Al Ono Lono mug. The last two were gifts from friends who went to Hawaii earlier in the year. I was curious about this cheap-looking mug from the Frontier (when did they ever have tiki mugs!?) so I did a little research on this Poolside Pineapple company. Turns out they're a Vegas-based novelty drinkware distributor. Looks like they did all of Kahunaville's mugs and glasses, including the volcano which is actually not a bad mug. They also do a lot of the oversized, plastic "yard" vessels and that sort of thing. So far, it doesn't look like anyone's put up any info on TC (probaby because they're just a small step up from Party City products) but I've seen at least one other person who found one of their mugs and asked what they're all about. Here's the webside:

I also found my first black velvet. At least, it was the first I thought was suitable for my bar (I see mostly cute animal paintings or mountain/lake landscapes, but the occasional tall ship has tempted me more than once). Plus, it was only $5.99 and it's pretty big - about 2'x4'. Not quite worthy of the black velvet thread, though.
