hang10tiki that's a great idea.

=============================

No update on the Wish List instead here are some photos of a couple of days this week.

I had a doctors appointment downtown Sacramento and we are always early so we went for a walk.
We saw some vintage cars being worked on and

a fun mural at a clothing store.

We stumbeled across a deli in a Victorian home and

Rick's desert diner on the corner.

We stopped at Lauren's but he hadn't opened up yet. It was only 9 am in the morning. We had such a nice walk that we'll have to do it again sometimes. Sacramento is a very calm city.

===============================

On Tuesday we headed off to a few fun towns in the Napa Valley.

We went to a thrift store in Napa and then on to Sebastopol. The first antique store had this magnificent carving. It was $450. Still is too because we left it there.

Big sharp teeth!

The next antique store had a small black bamboo garden out back. We didn't know there was black bamboo.

At this same antique store we found some tiki mugs. But we already had them so they were left behind.

The next antique store held many treasures that we couldn't resist. From the bottom shelf Dan scored a Trader Vic's mug.

Here's the whole haul. The big bookends, the Trader Vic's mug, a tiki from Figi and even a shell lamp.

The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock was partially filmed in Bodega Bay. I wanted to see the town so we drove there.

We found this fun candy store but didn't go inside.

We found two restaurants and

we stopped her for lunch. The food and the view were great.

In the middle of this photo there is a seal head just peeking out. This was the whole town. There is nothing more except for a marina of boats. It didn't look like the movie at all.

Back home I photographed all our new tiki treasures. We had also found this Tahitian tiki mounted on a rock stand. They probably were paired up by the owner and not the carver.

On the bottom of the bookends there was this sticker.

On the bottom of the tiki was this note.

My purchases were some shot glasses from Hawaii and a print that had a sticker saying it was bought at Aloha Towers on Oahu.

At the thrift store in Napa I got this electricity ball for $3. I always wanted one so it was a great find.

I lit up my new shell lamp.

Now Dan will have fun working these things into his collection.

Back to work on the Wish List. Cheers, Wendy
