Hi Hammo, looking forward to meeting you in person.

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

Dan and I are continuing our transition from being tiki collectors to having a tiki decorated home but no collection.

After the fifth garage sale I had an empty dining room to decorate. I wondered if Dan had enough Maori art from New Zealand to make this room look tiki.

I went on a hunt and before I knew it the entire room had all the walls filled along with the bookcase. Perfect.

Here are a few of the walls close up.

We enjoyed the room for a short while and then we sold the entire collection.

It was time to pack it up and ship it out so

I began to organize it by type and shape and size and difficulty to wrap.

We went to the box store and bought shipping supplies.

I then sat Dan down and I would bring him tikis to wrap and then to be placed in a shipping container.

This was a huge amount to ship and it took two

days to get it done.

We ran out of boxes and peanuts so it was off

to a small post office at our grocery store. We filled up all their space with boxes.

Then it was back to the box store for more supplies.

This time we went to the regular post office.

Back at home I pulled out all the nails and puttied the holes.

Then I hung photos and decorated the room.

One more view.

After five garage sales and many appointments with shoppers we still have tiki overload. We are far from done with our sales. It feels good to have each room change so that we are enjoying what we have left.

Cheers, Wendy
