I went to a tiki yard sale the other weekend that nearly made me cry. So much good stuff. Picked up these salt and pepper shakers from Kings Island, Moai, Amway Tonga Soap and a carved Marquesan style tiki that on the back said it was carved by Rene Pailloux in Tahiti for the Tahitian Lanai. And got a large framed Art forms of the Pacific by Miguel Covarrubias. I really need a big piece to tie my tiki room together and this is perfect! And of course books to add to the Bibliotiki.

What a bunch of great finds! SO jealous of those of you who have such things as 'tiki yard sales'
available to them!
Could you possibly post a closeup of the piece that was carved for the Tahitian Lanai? Thank you.

You never know where you're going to make a great tiki find; I found two of my favorite mugs at an Amish swap meet in the Southern Tier of Upstate New York.
