Went to an Estate Sale today based off an early morning phone call from Psycho Tiki D and ended up meeting Trad'r Bill there . He and I were 5 and 6. The 1st person was talking tiki and the 2nd person was talking Witco so we were doubtful. Also the lady running the sale came out and told everyone that "the tiki room was to the left" when you walked in.

Didn't matter--out of the 5 Witco pieces guy 1 and guy 2 (who was a reseller) each bought the smaller washed out pieces and the other 3 were super overpriced.

Most of the tiki glassware was in this other room and Bill and I snatched it :)

Saw guy 1 trying to get into the room to beeline for the tiki mug table when I threw the grog mugs at Bill and beat him there and pretty much scooped up everything of value (hehe) and ended up with this:


We passed on the TV goldstem martini glasses (too pricey) and some fog cutters that we all have.

The house had a super nice 6-8 person bar and a great view out their window of the surrounding hillside.

Needless to say I hadn't been to an Estate sale in a long time and so this was a fun experience.

Also as a general rule when there is an ex-derby girl attending the sale don't stress....she will get to the tables before you do and buy everything you want thanks to her supreme blocking skills !

Thanks PTD and Bill--fun day!

Oh and completely unrelated I just got this
