[ Edited by: SoccerTiki 2012-07-14 08:09 ]

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! In addition to vintage Aloha shirts, I'll be bringing a peacock chair and little rattan table.

The KTLA Channel 5 Sunday Morning News will be doing a segment at 8:15am on The International Tiki Market Place at Don's...WooHoo!!

Ben,
You got me thinkin' bout my tapa, so I'll bring this one out in case anybody's interested.
It's from Tonga and measures 9x14 feet.
There's a tear in the side, a hole in the middle, and a couple little scrapes, but overall, it's in decent condition. All the damage looks to be in the fold creases. Overall, it's in pretty decent shape and has a cool design.

Aloha Friends!

I'm busy taggin' & baggin' my treasures for the International Tiki Marketplace tomorrow!

I'll have some original artwork for sale, as well as limited edition prints, glass magnets and art pendants!

I'm also asking for your help in finding wonderful new homes for my vintage tiki treasures (clothing & collectables) so that my husband does not sign me up for 'A very special episode of Hoarders'. :)

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

MAHALO & VIVA ATOMICA!

Here's a sneak peak of what I'm bringing tomorrow.
There is a wide range of sizes, XS to XL.
See something you like but can't join us? Message me and I can give you deets. :)

I asked the management at Don's to relocate the Sunday Karaoke in the Dagger Bar
(Crossed Fingers!) to another room for tomorrow, Hopefully my request does not fall on deaf ears
and the "Tiki Crowd" will have the "Dagger Bar" to lounge in maximum Tiki-ness!

WooHoo! See you today!

Don't forget to tune into KTLA's Channel 5 News today at 6:40am & 8:15am to see our Tiki Mug Collection and a segment of The Intrernational Tiki Market Place at Dons.

Whatta day is right. Great job Chris and Karen. You guys worked your tails off and it paid off great dividends. Get some rest now.

It was fun! Thanks for having me guys!

Where was crazy Al anyways?

[ Edited by: Sunset Mike 2012-07-15 20:14 ]

Had a lot of fun today, some very cool stuff up there. Will be going back again and again.

Another great ITMP at Don's today! Thank you to Chris, Karen, and the Don's Ohana for putting on such a great event! It ain't easy.
As always, it was great getting to meet new faces and getting to know some of you better, that I've met at past events. Mahaloz for your support and kindness, and I look forward to seeing you all at the next event!
Michael

Had alot of fun as well. Great to see everyone again. :D

Mucho Mahalo to Karen,Chris,all the vendors and artists and all who helped put this event together. I have a billion pix and will load as many as possible tonight. Mostly candid shots, shots of the ohana enjoying themselves, and a few of some of the merchandise/art that was available today. Sorry, I didn't label anything, rum,heat,and my age taking it's toll.
Cheers

Thanks for getting some shots of today nui 'umi 'umi

If you got to be stuck in a room all day, Then you want to be stuck with this crazy group of vendors!
Thanks to all the folks parting with hard earned cash to support us!
Thanks Chris, Woohoo & Art for putting it all on.

But to the person who decided to have Karaoke in the Dagger Bar

"I have a very particular set of skills.
Skills I have acquired over a very long career.
Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.
If you allow Karaoke to continue in the dagger bar, ... I will look for you, I will find you...
and I will make unpleasant conversation to you!"

Atp pleasure meeting you and the lovely jungle ginger. For reasons beyond my understanding my Mac will only let me post a limited amount of pix during a given 24 hour period. You and jg are up first tomorrow . Appears it's gonna take me 2-3 24 hr. periods to post the pix that I wanna share.
Cheers,
David

Thanks Chris and Karen! I had a great time vending on Sunday. Thank you to everyone who made purchases or even just stopped by to say hi. Can't wait for Sept!

Thanks to all involved in yesterday's event. You all made it so special. Mrs Chippy and I brought her mom and dad and they kept telling us what a great time they had and how everyone was so relaxed and having a good time. Great music too. Thanks to all the vendors. I am already saving up for next time.

nui 'umi 'umi, That is about the worse picture I have ever seen of myself... :(

Despite the picture, I had a great day and a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who stopped by and to Chris and Karen for putting it all together :)

It was another great time at the Tiki Marketplace. Picked up a few new items, caught up with a bunch of awesome people, and enjoyed great Smokin' Menehunes music all afternoon. Mahalo to the vendors and everyone involved in putting the marketplace on!

Thank you Wendy and Dan for the nice words! The interview was quite an experience! And the Market Place is always a great experience!!! At each event we have more people turning "tiki" and finding a new way to have fun! This last event had over 55 people coming because they saw it on the KTLA 5 new that morning at 8:15am!!!
