Here in Calgary, things are very unTiki. I have spent the last few years looking for Tiki in thrift stores to no avail (except this last summer I've actually had a bit of luck! :) Recently I've added antiki malls to the mix, and I have to say, that is where I make most of my tiki finds.
(I do buy the odd mug off ebay, but that is even more expensive than the antique stores...hey, I'm not a rich guy!)

There are places around here that sell the plastic or mass produced mugs, but I'm not as interested in those. My plan is to gradually collect tiki things until I can finally build my dream tiki bar. Once I have the basement, (first I'll need the house)I hope to have a decent tiki collection by that point. Maybe then I'll get the mass produced stuff so I don't bust my prized mugs. This is what keeps me sane.

To while away the evenings I flip through the Book of Tiki, I peruse Tiki Central...Oh yeah, and I create my own (tiki) art. Maybe some day I'll post some more of it...

Aloha,
