Thank you Chris and Karen for a wonderfully fun party. We had a blast. Seeing everyone again was like an Oasis preview. I also got to meet the people behind the Tiki Central names like Chuck Tatum is Tiki, yes he is!

Here are some of the photos I took that day and the night before. We had a wonderful dinner at Don the Beachcomer's and wondered around looking at each room. It was our first visit since the changeover from Sam's.

Dinner at Don the Beachcomer's. Beautiful like HGTV cooking shows.

Now if MadDogMike and little lost tiki had been there I would have gotten ALL the hugs I wanted! Cheers, Wendy

Great Photo's Wendy & thanks for the kind words!!!

I would hit the LIKE button for the photos but can't quite get the hang of it so I will express my liking the photos in the old fashion way and make a post that says

"Hey Wendy, great photos!"

Start saving your milk money! The International TIKI Market Place will be back March 4! Additional new vendors and LIVE Hawaiian Music!!!

This event will be the debut of my new 2012 Collection, and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again! It will be good to shake off the chill of the Midwest Winter!
