This week's stuff:

A Bora Bora tiki:

I think this style of tiki is an example of tiki carving in its crudest form

A Trader Vic's Coconut mug:

I think this sculpt is an example of tiki mugs in their simplest form

Two CCJ's monster leaf dishes:

I think this line are examples of Coco Joe's in their cruddiest form.

Bali Hai matches:

I think this cover is an example of non-tiki, Tiki Establishment matchbook graphic.

A dole pinapple print of Hawaii:

I think this print is great example of a print of a Hawaiian Map

I got two shirts at a yard sale that I came across on my way home from the swap meet yesterday. First one:

And then today, I saw one just like it with different buttons at the swap meet. Imagine that, two of the same shirt! It's like the Harvey's mug of shirts.

I almost passed on this one, but when I read "Sears Hawaii" on the tag, I decided it was "neat" for some reason:

They both smelled clean, fit me real well, and were only $1 each. $1 sounds cheap, but she was also selling a toaster oven for 15 cents, a kitchen table for 50 cents, two matching chairs for $1, and damn near everything else there for 10- 25 cents each. So, at $1 a piece,they were the high priced feature items of the sale. I bet some big mouth shopper told her earlier in the day that old tiki stuff was collectable and valuable, causing her to raise the prices on them so high.

Buzzy Out!
