Yesterday, I was at my local thrift store during my lunch break. I found this little coconut mug. It had hairline cracks going down the side and had "Luau" on the front. So I picked it up. On a different row in the store, there was this small brown lid stuck inside of a coffee cup. I thought at first that it went with my coconut, but then I looked at the colors and they were different. I treid for about 5 minutes to get the lid out to see if it is a match, but had no luck. Becuase the colors were soo off, I just left it and bought the mug.

When I got home, I was looking through Tiki Quest and lone and behold there it is (Pg 108 I think). It's a condiment jar from the Luaa. The lid was to the coconut AND is a different shade of Brown. I prayed all night to the Tiki Gods that the lid will still be there today. Everyone wish me luck as I am going to go back today in hopes that it is still there.

To be continued......
