Howdy. Tiki and Polynesian-themed stores are pretty scarce in the Houston area. You already found GC Palapas. Nautical Antiques in Galveston has lots of tiki bar worthy stuff like ships wheels, port hole covers, brass lights, cleats, etc. On occasion they've had some carved tikis. I've seen a concrete Moai at Frazier's in Bacliff before.

Garage sales, thrift stores, estate sales seem to be the best hunting grounds around here.

Ah yes I did find the place in Galveston as a matter a fact they supplied some of my things I currently have (2 ship lights under my tiki poles and a huge glass float). Much more nautical than tiki (like you said, "tiki bar worthy", but not necessarily tiki itself). Thanks for the reminder though!!! I do love that store.

Check out my backyard Tiki Lounge. I'm going to try to put together a "backyard tiki bar craw" in the Houston Area next year. Let me know if you'd be interested or know anyone who would be interested. I'm going to try to keep the number low (like 12 - 16 people)
