Thank you for your message. Sometimes I have to wonder if there is anyone out there looking. You reassured me that posting is worthwhile. Cheers! We have been in the process of a huge change within our home. I finally got back to some painting. Upgrades to this area to make it better.

I miss the views that used to be with each section. Here are some progress photos from yesterday. I keep tweaking those buses but I finally started a new plant.

In 2018 we began to sell our collection to prepare for old age. Room by room and even the garage and backyard were emptied of tiki items. We finished the sale and the take down of the Tiki Jungle Room. I will post that next. Here are a few of the hundreds of photos I have take of our collection before the sales started. As of yesterday, we are all set to enjoy what is left.

We spent 8 days taking it down and puttying holes and re-decorating. Dan will enjoy his music collection and the items we have decided to keep for now. Mostly my own art and that made by Frankoma from my sculpts. The last photo is of Jeremy Sherlock. He now owns all of the silk plants and has begun to build his home with Stephanie into his own jungle.

Jeremy and us packing up truckloads to take to his home. Even a photo of the last left taken down from the ceiling. I had so many holes to fill with putty!

After unloading the two trucks Jeremy showed us where the first truck load had been cleaned and placed in his beautiful tiki home.

The tiki community is so incredible we will never leave it. We are just lighter now and able to look forward to an easier to dust future. Love you all, Wendy (danlovestikis) and Dan (wendylovestikis)
