Summer Mug Swap is a GO!! (Post pics of your trades!!)

I will get your names no later than June 2 :)

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND :

Wrap with bubble wrap---and lots of it! Newspaper does not protect the way bubble wrap does

Send packages no later or as close to the 15th of June as possible. If the 15th is approaching and you arent close to shipping please PM me so I dont have people emailing me 100 times asking about their box

TRACKING INFORMATION -- pay $0.75 and get it if your ship to address is in the US. PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Somewhere on the box please make sure you put your REAL and your TIKICENTRAL names

MOST IMPORTANTLY

Please take a picture and post it for us all to enjoy. Your swapper puts a lot of thought into what they are sending so please at least show some love for him/her

ZeroTiki - awesome packaging!

IT'S ON, Y'ALL!!! Let the mugs be a-swapping!

Tiki Mug and goodies have shipped all the way from Maui to PA.
Should arrive end of the week.

TIKI CHRISTMAS IN JUNE!

I was about to run some errands when the mailman appeared through the fronds of the Japanese maple...box in hand. "Looks like you got something interesting!"

The package was sent from Bongo Bungalow and was so perfect I was not sure I wanted to open the parcel. But, Ms. Martini just about beat me in the noodle with a pineapple -- and a pineapple trumps a noodle even more often than paper trumps rock.

So, I carefully extracted the box and left Bongo's calling-card decorative wrap in place...as best as possible. Thank you for the tikified art work, Bongo!

So, I freed the paper away from the box and tried to gain access. Bongo had this box reinforced and refortified! I was denied several times over, until the x-acto knife won the battle of the tape.

Once inside, I discovered these treasures:

Bongo, I started my collection with Orchids of Hawaii hula girl mugs. So, it is ironic but perfect that this would be part of my booty. She is the second one on the left (front row). The one to her left is my very first mug.

Bongo, your John Hancock is going up on the Hooper Lounge wall along with Shag, Derek, Brian Setzer and the incomparable Dick Dale. Mele Kalikimaka and many mahalos to you!!!

YES, I KNOW I STILL NEED TO PAINT THE TRIM BROWN ON THE FRONT OF MY SHELVES!!!

When you receive your package POST HERE...please...so your tradeee knows it came and also so we can all see what you got!

My offering to the TIKI collective is now in the wind! ( hope the reciever digs it , I even included a little TIKIVILLE carving!)

Oh my, Vince! Yeah... you've got a few of those hula girl mugs alright! Well, anyway, glad you enjoyed it all!

My box will be going out after I get back from The Hukilau, so it will be out on the 15th or 16th. I wanted to leave room for any groovy Hukilau stuff I pick up to send.

My box came in today, but my camera is in Ft. Lauderdale with Tiki 65, awaiting my arrival tomorrow.

Received a package from Pikey's Dog Yesterday. What a TREASURE TROVE of goodies...all the way from the UK. Included were a tall Kon Tiki mug and a Kon Tiki salt and pepper set (neither of which I had) plus swizzles, menus, matches, and a bunch of other good stuff. Mahalo!!

Just received my Brenda's house of tiki parcel!! Woohoo!!!
photos of this awesome haul to come

Woo Hoo! I got my box from Lilusako - and it was packed! I got a great mug that I did not have, some cool swizzle sticks, napkins, more cups, finger monkeys, stickers, postcards...and COOKIES! What a haul! I'll post pictures tomorrow! Thanks, Lilusako (Jocelyn)!

Tam Tiki

Receiving my box today reminded me I have been bad and have to get mine out, which I will select tomorrow and have shipped by Wednesday, oh, what to send, what to send??

My package was picked up by the tikihammer today...

Tiki goodness from House Of Ku! Swag included House of Hong chopsticks, Coco Joe's Catalog, Coco Joe's artifacts dug up @ Punaluu factory fire, a Pearl City Tavern swizzle and...

Perhaps one of the coolest things I have seen in quite sometime...and never have seen before...House of Hong scorpion bowl in it's original box with the bird's nest packaging.

Again, this trade was fantastic and thank you so much to Freddie (House Of Ku)!

Mahalo!

PTD

Glad you likee....:) I know you have a great collection and was trying to add something different to that collection...and make you smile in your sleep. Long live Tiki!

Freddie

I'm thrilled that my package got to you safe and sound Tam Tiki! I was worried as hell hoping that my packaging was sufficient enough for safe transport! I'm also glad you don't have the mug either! Can't wait to see the photos.

My package arrived from Tiki Pug. Thanks a lot, pictures later today. Love everything! Thanks for the great stuff!

As promised, here are a couple of pics of all I got in the mug swap:

Thanks again, Lilusako!

Yaaar! you got the Good Captain, nice swap.

Cookies! I hope I get cookies with my mug!
