Tonight at 7PM I'll be trying to book at room for Tiki Oasis. I wish any of you who are doing the same good luck and best wishes.

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

hang10tiki how about a photo of all your tiki treasure and some more event photos when you are rested up. Those you've posted were wonderful.

TikiAno the more I do it the easier the molding gets. It is fun to have learned to do so many things. I don't know anything about raising babies so there you go.

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

SACRAMENTO CRAWL MUG sign ups are open, just let me know if you want one and I'll put you on the list. The list will be on Page One of this thread.

Here are the previous mugs 2010 -2015. Zombie Hut, Tiki Bob's, Hawaiian Hut, Coral Reef, Albert's Tiki Villiage and the Bali Hai.

Each year I do a mug that is from a place that existed in the Sacramento, California area. I try to figure out a style that will work for each place.

This year I will do a life size pineapple. This real one is my guide but of course I also use artistic license.

The place I have chosen to represent this year is The Tropics. I have borrowed all these photos from the posts by atomicpear on Tiki Central. He made this mug possible. The photo souvenir says 1945 when I did research using the Sacramento Library there never was a placement of the phone number nor an add in the phone book. I think this place was short lived.

So I have the place, I have the design but I needed a tiki. One fell in our laps at the antique sale under the freeway in Sacramento. The man told us it was a decoration in a tiki bar in the 1940's I decided to believe him and to purchase it so I could put it on the pineapple mug.

The next step will be to sculpt the mug. Cheers, Wendy

PS I will also start the list on page one for those who sign up for a mug.
