Dan wants to build one of these to hold his ash tray collection. I saw an old tray that looked like the fogcutter mug I just glazed. We ate at an old Woolworths diner at the side of an antique store. I love numbers. This is low mileage for our 13 year old PT Cruiser. This car is great for trips. We stopped for the night in Barstow. The next morning for the very first time we drove off the freeway to the ghost town of Calico. I hiked up the hill to this rock house. Dug out of the wall it kept the miners of silver cool. This is the view from the doorway. We have arrived in Las Vegas and made the first stop at the Great American Antique Store. Woo Hoo we found an unmarked Bumatay mug. The next day we visited hang10tiki and his wife Janelle. The men traded gifts. I gave hang10tiki a necklace that I had made. It's a sleepy Tiki Bob. We left them to head to the Buffet at Planet Hollywood. Our favorite. We ran into Ron a friend from Forbidden Island tiki bar that is located in Alameda, CA. We only see him once a year so this was special. The next day we were off to tiki hunt in Bolder City. We loved this wall hanging but at $700 we had to let it stay right there. The owner said she would burn it before lowering the price. She said she researched it and it was worth that much. I saw a letter holder and by taking the photo upside down it looked like a Moai! The next day we are on our way home. We stopped for the first time at Peggy Sue's a real 50's diner. It was fun to do one time. My cottage cheese had a surprise of potato salad in the middle and I don't think it was meant to be that way. Once we made it to freeway 99 we started stopping at more antique stores. This was possible because we left Las Vegas at 4:30 am. Oh my gosh we found a Witco. I've always wanted a big Witco. This one seems to be very old. There are numbers and letters on the bottom. I can't make them out. Back home I took lots of photos of our tiki treasures. ebtiki how'd we do? This spoon and fork set was from Korea but for $5 it had to go into my collection. Happy Valentine's Day everyone. I took these on our trip and told Dan, "now I have my card!" Ethyl M cactus garden.
