I'm pretty sure that these were my first Tiki Farm mugs. They both still have the original price tags on them.

I had been buying vintage mugs for a few years, and I remember the first time I saw a display of Tiki Farm mugs in a store. I loved them all but could only afford a few at the time. I kicked myself for years for not picking up Log when they used to have a shelf full of them at Hilo Hattie at The Block.

I knew that I enjoyed Polynesian Pop for all of the sappy, nostalgic, Enchanted Tiki Room-type reasons, but I could never really articulate it beyond that.

I now know why I fell for these mugs all those years ago. It's the sense of whimsy and joy that the early Tiki Farm mugs had. There's a little magic in them.
