So I've been having a little luck of late with estate sales and Goodwills of late, these are my trawl for the last few weeks.

These I scored from the estate of a lady who was a world traveler and diver. I assume they're vintage but I don't know anything about where they're from or when. I also got about a quart of loose cowrie shells so I'm going to try my hand at making my own. I really scored since I came in on Sunday and got everything half price.

I found these the next weekend and took them for half price as well. There were some other pieces, including two nice kukui nut necklaces, but I couldn't afford the prices they were asking full price. Sadly, the wooden tiki I went there to look at was already gone by the time I got there.

Then I picked these up at Goodwill for next to nothing.

Been finding TONS of stuff at Goodwill as a matter of fact...

Treasure Craft knock off...

And this guy has a vaguely Treasure Craft kinda look, though not quite the same quality and it has no marks. Any one have any ideas?

These were from today's two estate sales. The tiny Maori piece was what brought me to that sale, but turned out to be tiny. I almost missed the Trader vics pick, but fortunately I got chatty with the cashier while paying and she led me back over to it. I don't know much about the Vic's menehune. Any one have any idea how old these are?


Now if I could just start finding some decent mugs...
