Gotta love the power of Tiki...it was strong for me yesterday. First of all, got an email from Aaron Brothers with a coupon for 50% off entire order of custom frame work...HELLLLLLOOOOO...that got me moving. I bundled up all the art I had stored under my bed, brushed off the dust and headed over to the store.

There were already customers in the back of the store being helped at the custom framing desk, so they called up front to have a guy come back to help me. I apologized to him right away and said "hope you don't mind working with me cause we will be here a while" and he smiled when he saw my stack of Tiki art and said "no problem."

We got to talking and he knew of Tiki Central (didn't post much) and had studied Polynesian art at San Diego State, had his graphic arts degree, an appreciation of Disneyana and a Tiki Bar in his own home. He knew of THEE Tiki books and so many other things...we had a great time talking...our meeting was meant to be!!!

He spent over 2 hours helping me with all my art work and knew the style I needed. I'm going with a straw thatch mat for all the pieces and either an antiqued black or gold bamboo styled frame. He is planning on coming to my next Tiki party so he can see all the art work up on the walls and hook up with the Sacramento Tiki Ohana. Hope to see ya on line Casey...THANX for your great customer service!!!
