Letting the Cat Out of the Bag - Collecting Tiki

FZ Feelin Zombified Tiki Socialite The Exotic Shores of Lake St. Clair Joined: Jul 15, 2003 Posts: 1340	FZ Feelin Zombified Posted posted on Wed, Jun 23, 2004 12:00 PM It was recently pointed out to me the August 2004 issue of Country Home (yes, I said Country Home) has a special section about collecting & Ebay. One page lists the Top 5 up&coming trends to watch; and #3 on that list is, you guessed it, Tiki Mugs & anything Hawaiian. The editors of this lovely magazine have also generously highlighted only #3 on that list, complete with a picture of several mugs so that everyone knows what to look for. Never mind the fact that you'll have to fight over a thrift store find with even more people now, but many antique shops read that magazine and may start pricing accordingly. Humph! :( -Z
