When Shelley and I moved from Nevada, we had many Tiki boxes too. Our friends commented a little sarcastically on all the Tiki boxes. I had a flash back when we moved Poly Pop this summer. His Brother-in-Law told him he "Needed Help".

Fatuhiva,
I know the feeling. Like you, I stored all my mugs in boxes and indexed them for years - while continuing to collect. I did the exact same thing packing them away as soon as I got them because I simply didn't have the space to put them out.

I don't have as many mugs as you but I've got somewhere around 400 now. When I moved to my new house it was exactly the same - boxes upon boxes marked FRAGILE. Fortunately, I had about 8 Hoity Toity's helping so I knew my mugs were in good hands. And like you, once I got to the new house I put all my mugs and tikis in the single car garage because its the only space I have that can hold them all.

We just moved in around July/August so right now, I'm still trying to get unpacked, organized and settled. Once I get my Tiki space ready, I'm going to get to start opening those boxes -- after YEARS of not having opened some of them!

I told Al, I've forgotten some of the stuff I have - literally. At least it will be fun to go through it all.

You've got a very impressive collection. Believe it or not, I still have pics from the first time you posted your collection on TC when it was still on Yahoo (yup, I saved them to my hard drive).

Have fun putting up your room and make sure to post pics of the whole thing once its done. I'm dying to see it all!!
