BK finds this much stuff in a weekend, for me it represents about 2 months:

A pair of paint-by-numbers (a gift from a friend)
Between them, an Okolehao bottle (TikiQuest p. 154) minus the base/ashtray
A two-sided Toby (at first I thought it was a homecrafted mug because of the spatter finish and the lack of markings, but a closer inspection of the bottom revealed a Toby mark under thick glaze)
A green Harvey's Sneaky Tiki

A Coco Joe's Menehune and a lewd HIP Hula Girl

A couple of cocktail glasses

A pair of Hawaii Kai mugs, a HIP Hula Girl (her label reads "Leilani is a modern hula girl. She thinks crack seed, poi, men, miniskirts and life are groovy. She's sassy and she's sexy and she's NOW. But like her mother and her grandmother before her, Leilani makes Hawaii a very difficult place to leave. After all, everywhere else they wave goodbye with their HANDS.")

A National Geographic book "Isles of the South Pacific" (1968), and an undated pamphlet on Hawaii's Flowers, Plants and Fruits

But wait! There's more:

A pair of plaster bongo wall plaques
A monkeypod wall piece of a guitar player under a palm tree
A pair of shell shaped monkeypod serving trays (a nice change from the ubiquitous pineapples)

All this for under 40 bucks.
