My sin is I covet. I covet my neighbor's tikis. Covet, covet, covet. Right now I'm coveting Vegastikidude's moai bowl. I also covet that chubby little mug in the bottom picture just to the left of the wooden mask. A little while ago I just missed scoring a pair of them at Goodwill. I saw an older gentleman walking around with a pair of them in his hands. I followed him around hoping he might change his mind and put them back (it could happen). Finally I approached him and asked if he collected tiki mugs. He said he collected all kinds of Hawaiian items and that he'd been doing it for forty years. I said that he must have quite a collection and he said "a warehouse full." Hope I run into that guy again so I can ask to see his warehouse.
