Had a good couple of weeks here- in addition to travel taking me to San Francisco (Smugglers Cove, Tonga Room, Pagan Idol) and San Diego (NEW Mr. Bali Hai mug!)

I got 21 mugs from a guy I met at a garage sale a few weeks back. He asked if I was looking for anything in particular, and I said Tiki Mugs of course. He was cleaning out his mothers house and had 19 mugs. 14 green Kahlua Hut mugs from the short lived bar here in Md, a single Orchids brown tiki and three more dark brown unmarked Tikis made in Japan.

I asked him to check if mom saved Tiki Swizzle sticks - why yes! We settled on a fair price for the lot and when I went to pick them up there were three MORE Kahlua hut mugs, and the bundle of swizzles tossed in. The swizzles came from the Hawaiian Room in Baltimore (one) the Hawaiian village (about 6) and the Kona Kai. And TWO dancing girls that aint quite Tiki - but they came from the HAVANA Tropicana so they must be from the 50s. Mom had good taste in entertainment.

Also got two Tikis from Fiji with spears intact from a local thrift store.

Oh, and I picked up a Tyree finally:

Better vertical image- the Tyree is about 24 inches- that Leeteg to the left is kind of huge so I haven't figured out where to hang it yet.
