Mahalo nui loa Sabu fo' da pix of Hawai'i how it used to and still SHOULD be!!!
Your postcards took me right back to my days as a VERY happy child in Kane'ohe - Our place used to look a LOT like these postcards... I still remember fondly our garden tikis (which made the journey with us by ship to California), the bamboo mats and matting everywhere, and our bamboo mat and monkeypod bar.

Fond, warm, happy memories. Thanx Sabu! _ _

Man, now THOSE are great pix. Mahalo for posting those. Makes me really wish that someone would figure out time travel.
The mix of classic Polynesian and Mid Century Modern just works so perfectly.

Using postcards in advertising your products and services is good. It can easily catch people's attention and what you have to say is already written in the postcard. postcard printing service

I have always enjoyed the great photos on this post from Sabu and Puamana. I decided it was time to freshen it up a bit with some new images, as many of the old ones have been lost to the dreaded Red X.

This is from the Hawaiiana Hotel.

Some rooms from the Hawaiian Village Hotel.

From the famous Waikikian.

Some great rooms found at the Kona Inn. Check out all of that great art on the walls.

These are from the Hanalei Plantation.

I would love to own those headdress lamps!

Anyone own these or come across any during their collecting?

And you guys are awesome with all the imagery . Sabu and DustyCajun it blows me away the stuff you post--wish we could compile it all into a book.

Rediscovered this thread a couple of days ago and it reminded me that I've got a bunch of old Hawaiian hotel brochures that I should scan . Here's one from 1961 from The Breakers in Honolulu...apologies if this has been posted before. Not very Tiki-heavy but appealing nevertheless....

Kon-Tiki Viking, thanks for posting this. It IS a cool thread. Your third pic reminds me of some of the Waikikian Hotel brochures too. Wonder if there is a connection, or just one success copying another?

Kon Tiki Viking,

Thanks for posting and bumping this thread back up. It is such a bummer to see the red x's in this one. I thought I would add a few of the older missing postcards from Sabu and Puamana.

These three are from the King Kamehameha hotel in Kona.
