Brad, Dave and I took a trip up north yesterday to buy more decor for Hale Tiki. The trip was a blurr. We stopped at a few antique malls and I found a Luau postcard. We stopped at a few liquor store and found Lemon Hart 151 Demerara and Marichino Liqueur. That was great. But the stuff that was acquired for Hale Tiki was incredible.

This is a view looking into the storage unit. You can see an Oratory Table up front, some shields.

Here's a second image to give you a better idea. The tall pieces on the left are cross memebers for the house.

Mo' stuff. Masks, a drum, finials, stools.

On the left is a crocdile head on a drum. Masks, etc.

Here is the mysterious goof modeling the woven ceremonial piece.

Several woven decorative items and a smaller Oratory table

Nice carving.

Early on, these were some items set aside for Hale Tiki.

Another set of items in the sellers home.

More makings of a men's house on the porch.

I did not get enough pictures. None of us. It was a pretty exhausting trip. We packed the van from floor to ceiling, literally, and filled every space with stuff. We all had to climb over things and deal with stuff in our way home, but we managed to get it all in the van. A huge amount of stuff. It's going to really set Hale TIki into orbit!

And the seller once again confirmed they would come to Hukilau.
