Gotta send a shout out to leleliz...liz sent me an email about an estate sale that started this afternoon at 4:00 p.m. I had seen the pictures and didn't think I was going to go cuz I didn't see anything I was interested in from the pictures. She told me to watch the video, which didn't really change my mind much, but since I went to work late today and the sale was on my way home I stopped by.

I arrived exactly at 4:00 and found, no kidding, at least 60 people lined up outside. Should I stay or should I go? I knew out of all those people there in front of me someone was there for the tiki mugs. Reluctanly I decided to stay and waded through the swarm of people to where I thought the bar items would be found. As I pushed my way through the crowd, a woman passed me going the other way with a box and inside the box were all of the tiki items from the video...4 small Westwood shots, a black Moai mug, a PMP long limbed mug, etc. I rounded the corner and nothing tiki was left.

I looked through the other rooms, nothing of any interest to be found, save a small wood carved set of tiki salt and peppers. I decided to leave, but I my way out, I noticed the lady with the box of mugs sitting on the couch and talking to someone on her cell phone. As she spoke she was describing the mugs and some other things she had. I decided to sit in a chair next to her and as she finished asking the person on the phone what they wanted I asked her if I could have the ones she didn't want.

She kept the Black OMC Moai mug from The Tikis So San Gabriel and the four small Westwood shots. I ended up getting these...

This was the only thing she didn't have that was tiki.

Amber two faced Creature from the Black Lagoon mug with swizzles I have not gone through yet.

Three tiki bucket mug from The Tikis So Gabriel California (I did not have this one) and swizzles I have not gone through yet.

And something I have not seen before; an OMC bamboo mug marked with The Tikis So San Gabriel California. The only other bamboo mug I have seen like this one was from the Stockton Islander.

Thanks Liz!
