I've been hanging around these forums for years, mostly reading the "home tiki bars" threads and longing for the day that I'm out of an apartment and living in a house where I can build one of my own. That day is (sadly) not here yet, but my girlfriend and I have been driving around visiting antique shops a lot more lately, so I've kind of begun building my collection in earnest, even without a permanent place to store it. I'm also a cartoonist/illustrator living in Pittsburgh PA (mostly children's illustration, but I've done a few tiki pieces for personal use) so I'm fortunate enough to know a few others on this board in real life already. Anyway, that's it! Just hoping to glean some knowledge from the experts so I can be more informed when I come across treasures in the wild. --Pat [ Edited by: Pakalui 2014-06-10 10:42 ]
