Hey Annalulu,

Nice scores on those tiki mugs and salt-and-peppers. A dollar is my favorite price too, but to find mugs at that price at a swapmeet is so rare. At a garage-sale, sure, but never a swapmeet.

I was wondering if anyone else knew about those tikis up in Morro Bay. I'm planning a weekend jaunt myself soon to photograph them.

Doctor Z and I did not make the estate sale in El Segundo this weekend. However, we did hit one in Torrance that paid off. I found a pair of big-eyed children paintings from the Sixties and a large 1950s show-aquarium, all framed in chrome, with its original modernist black metal stand. It looks great in my tiki room.

As far as tiki stuff goes, the pickings were pretty slim this weekend. Doctor Z found a nice rice-picker's hat to hang in his Castaway Lounge and I found a vintage paperback to add to the stack on my coffee table. Here's a picture:

I wish you excellent hunting again next weekend, Annalulu. Good luck!

Sabu
