hang10tiki you have done a wonderful job of keeping my page alive. Even thought I'm wiped out I had to look and read all of yours and the other guys posts. So many great photos and also so much fun for me to re-visit my art. Thank you very much for all the posts. They really cheered me up.

On the last day of our cruise I came down with a really bad sore throat. Good and bad timing. I didn't miss anything but the long day on airplanes was hard. I wrapped a closely knitted scarf around my head and face, kept using hand sanitizer and we came home yesterday by 7 PM. I hope I didn't pass it on. I did my best. Dan said I looked like a bank robber.

hang10tiki I hope you have a few more days of posts to do because I need to rest. I'm off to bed. You handled the task very well.

Many hugs, Wendy
H

Hi W
Sorry you got sick
Get well fast

More great flowers on our walk today
T

Welcome back Wendy! Sorry to hear you came back sick and hope you feel better soon. See you soon!

Get well soon, Wendy. I alway use bourbon for a sore throat....
T

So while Wendy was resting, one of her Liki Tiki mugs snuck out and hitchhiked its way across the US to finally surface at a little known tiki bar in Orlando Florida named Aku Aku (original name, I know haha). There, Eric, the amazing bartender, made a beautifully crafted Zombie for him. As well as a few other lesser known but equally tasty libations.

Then, the Liki Tiki sent for an Uber to whisk him away to the famous Trader Sam's Grog Grotto located in the Polynesian Resort at Walt Disney World for an extended night of drinking pleasure.

Stay tuned for part two of his adventures where he stumbles across some long lost relatives...including his big brother?

Hula- great mug
Awesome pics
Cheers

TikiHula I would rather have had surgery than this cold. Day 8 of a bad sore throat so far along with all the other symptoms.

Hamo I'm using ice water and popsicles.

TikiHula Ohhhhhhhhh I love your photos.

hang10tiki yes they are.

Hello Friends, Dan is my hero, I’ll tell you why. We just ended a trip on the 24th but just prior to returning home I became ill with the worst cold of my life. I’ve been to the doctor because of the persistent sore throat, congestion and dual red eyes and I was told I will be ill for one to two weeks longer and that I am contagious. I’ve been told to stay home.

For the past month Dan has continued to gut his tiki collection preparing for garage sale number three so what he has done and taken the crawl mugs to the garage so that crawlers in town can come here to purchase their mugs with the incentive of shopping the next garage sale early.

The crawl mugs are $95. The items in the garage sale range from $1 to $300 (custom chunk lamps). But most are $5 mugs. I hope this will temp you all to make the trip to Elk Grove. Here is our information and hours that Dan will be available.

Sunday 8am until 10am, then again 5pm until 7pm.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 5pm until 7pm.

Or you can call and make an appointment with him. I am continuing to stay in bed. I have not touched anything in the garage since we returned home.

If you need our address or phone number please message me.

I sent this information out to a bunch of old email address that I hope still work. I will also post this notice on fb and TC.

At this point I don’t know if we will make it to a single stop on the crawl. I might get Dan to go to some of them.

Miss you all, Wendy
H

Hope you are feeling better
Cheers
A

Great pics John. Hope you feel better Wendy!
D

Hi Friends, I am better today so I'm hopeful.

Dan has loaded the tables with more tikis today. The tables are packed with incredible bargain. So many mugs we paid $60 for and marked $5. Come shop the garage sale and pick up your Sacramento Crawl mug.

5 PM to 7 PM Monday 10/1 through Thursday 10/4.

You won't see me but Dan's got it under control.

Cheers, Wendy
D

Hi Everyone, I am still doing my best to get well. I’m better. This cold started on September 22nd so I’ve had it longer than most. Fingers crossed that I’ll be at the crawl. Dan however is going to go so he can deliver the mugs. He will be at most stops but not all of them.

It will help out if you can pay for your mug ahead of time so he doesn’t have to deal with cash.

Each mug is $95. Please use your name I’ve familiar with and under comments write Crawl mug 2018.
To Pay by Paypal use the money to family and friends option (never the one for goods) send to my account which is my email address. If you need it send me a message.

Do not pay ahead if I have to ship the mug to you because I will have to get you the total with shipping after the crawl has ended. Early payment is for those who pick up at my home or at the crawl.

Meanwhile at our home Dan is selling the mugs from our garage while running an early tiki garage sale. You can do one without the other so if you want to shop the tiki garage sale but not buy a mug that’s fine too. 7 to 9 pm today through Thursday night.

If you need our address send me a message. I will check back on and off during each day.

Thank you for helping us out. I work all year to make the mugs and now it’s my payday and I’m ill. Not fair at all.
Hugs and love, Wendy
H

Hope you are back to 100% ASAP

Well

hang10tiki. Wow, I love those scary images. Good you are checking, there's a mom and dan an siblings out there just waiting for a warm toe.

========================================

Update on my condition. I've had this cold for 12 days. For the past few days I've started to feel better. No coughing last night.

However last night Dan started to get a tickle in his throat with some coughing. Now we are worried that he might have begun this cold or some other cold since he's been out to the grocery store and other places.

So for now it's all up to everyone whether or not to come here to pick up a crawl mug or to shop the tiki garage sale tonight or tomorrow night at our home. If Dan is ill I'll take care of it and I'll wear a face mask.

5 to 7 PM the next two nights. PM me if you need our address.

On Friday I will post if I will be at a stop for pick up.

This is the ninth Sacramento Crawl mug I have made and it's the first time this has happened so we've been very lucky. Fingers crossed it still goes well.

The Waikiki Volcano.

The mug looks great

Get well soon!!!

Thank you and thank you hang10tiki.

Today the Sacramento Crawl begins. We will be outside with the crawl mugs beginning at 3:30 PM if we can find a close parking.
Please pick up your mug ASAP. They are so huge that I can't fit them all in our trunk. We killed the PT Cruiser this year so we have to haul mugs a stack at a time to each location. So we must move them out fast.

If you have a numbered mug we will have those with us at each stop we make.

Dan and I am both recovering from colds. Today is day 14 for me. So I'm not talking much and I'll be using hand sanitizer to keep all the mug boxes clean (yes our careers were at Sutter Hospital, we know how to keep you safe).

We can't guarantee that we will make every stop. We will do our best. It's a good excuse to eat candy to keep up our energy.

Marlene aka VampiressRN this is an outstanding schedule. You've done it again, thank you so very much. Wendy and Dan

Have fun guys

The Sacramento Crawl was a raging success. More beautiful tiki homes in Sacramento County than even I knew about. It's time to share my photos.

PS if you have a crawl mug on order I will be contacting you about shipment in the near future.

We started off at the Jungle Bird. We came an hour early

so we could have the best parking spot for selling our mugs.

Maggie came clear from Reno for the event but had to go home the next day.

Mark and Debbie came clear from the state of Washington for the three day event.

Frank is my newest tiki buddy.

Oops I just missed the smile. VampiressRN set up the entire crawl schedule and it was wonderful.

Even her mom came to the Jungle Bird and she's almost 100 years old.

The second stop was at Mike and Denise's home. I messed up and only got one fun photo. The party was out back.

Day 2 of the crawl started in Roseville but we missed the stop at Brittany's. We started at Kurt Biddle's.

Chicken and waffles!

Now we were on our way to Scott Shpiro's. One fun place after the next.

One too many drinks!

After the crawl on Friday night I started a new book by a Sacramento author.

I read this page about a drink with a backscratcher. I couldn't imagine it.

Before the next stop we went with Mike to the Jungle Bird for dinner. He ordered a Pain Killer and to his surprise it came with a back scratcher. Now I don't have to imagine it I've see one!

It was fun to see his hat glowing in my photos. I didn't notice that when we were together.

Next stop was at Brenda's home.

Melissa set up a Hawaiian shirt and dress shop in Brenda's living room.

Another great day is over. One more to go.

Sunday 10/7/18 the last day of the crawl began at Swanberg's Hawaiian shirt and tiki shop.

Between stops there was a bit of time so we did a quicky tiki garage sale.

The last stop of the day was at Whylee Raven's. Or Dave and Eva's wonderful Tiki/Pirate/horror movie home for a good meal and cheer.

Soon I'll be back to working on the Wish List #8 as it continues along and then I'll start the next years crawl mug #10.

Cheers, Wendy and Dan

Oh my gosh
Tons o pics
Looks like fun

Awesome

Thanks for posting
D

hang10tiki thank you, whew it was a lot of work, I'm happy they were appreciated.

=============================

Hey Tiki Gang, I had some people cancel their mug orders so I have some available. They are $95 plus shipping. The mug weighs as much as 4 pounds empty. These are made to last! I wanted mine to be the best volcano out there. Let me know if you need one.
The place it represents no longer exists, just the concrete pad. It's signature tiki was minimalist so I put it on the back. Instead I used a tiki done by Freddie Coester it suited the name Waikiki perfectly.

So just post here to let me know or message me here or on facebook. Thank you. Soon I'll be back to work on the Wish List #8, not going to finish by the end of the year. Everyone is keeping me busy. Wendy

While I work on selling the Sacramento Crawl mugs it's also time to get back to the Wish List. Here are some Tiki Bob's that I have already made for people and shipped off to them.

This starts off with a pair for Bill Beierle. His wish was for a Tiki Bob Warrior with a club.

I lglazed it once and then...

when it came out of the kiln it was just too plain.

I glazed it again.

Out of the kiln it was just right.

Dan is downsizing so he let his Tiki Bobette go and wa la I have a married couple.

Off they went to their new home.

Cheers, Wendy
