Here in Florida I have trouble finding mugs as well. I do find them but they are far and in between. About three weeks ago I found a high value Steve Crane mug, a pair of sweet tiki lamps, and an assortment of other mugs and tiki goods.
However I have been searching my ass off for the last two weeks at about five flea markets, couple dozen thrifts, and about 50 antique stores and all I found was a nice tiki pendent necklace. I said this before and I'll say it again it's hard to find stuff in Florida. 85% of my collection I bought up north while living there for a year and a half, as apposed to the other 15% in 5 years in Florida collecting.
I agree with Swanky about prefering the hunt. For as much time and gas money I spend I could just as well buy them on ebay. Don't give up the hunt, one day you'll find something amazing and that's what keeps you going back out.
I checked out your homepage. I love the indoor koi pond, awesome!
I also found this last month which I think you will dig.
