I went to a tiki yard sale the other weekend that nearly made me cry. So much good stuff. Picked up these salt and pepper shakers from Kings Island, Moai, Amway Tonga Soap and a carved Marquesan style tiki that on the back said it was carved by Rene Pailloux in Tahiti for the Tahitian Lanai. And got a large framed Art forms of the Pacific by Miguel Covarrubias. I really need a big piece to tie my tiki room together and this is perfect! And of course books to add to the Bibliotiki.

What a bunch of great finds! SO jealous of those of you who have such things as 'tiki yard sales'
available to them!
Could you possibly post a closeup of the piece that was carved for the Tahitian Lanai? Thank you.

You never know where you're going to make a great tiki find; I found two of my favorite mugs at an Amish swap meet in the Southern Tier of Upstate New York.

A signed copy of Trader Vics cookbook came into my bookstore today.... Got it for 10 bucks.

Decent haul recently. Seemed like every garage sale we stepped into had something tiki! Also a few non-tiki mid-century pieces in the shot, these are for elsewhere in the house. But the whole day worked like magic. For instance: we found a bare Japanese float at one stop, and then a vintage spool of jute from the Orient at the next!

Found this stuff on the way home fromTO13

tapa is 3x 3 ft and very nicely done, I won't cut it up as planned-probably gonna frame it

dancers fan, Tahitian or Hawaiian?

and yet another variation, the best of both worlds two tone version:

I did a little shopping and trading at Oasis and added a few more Maori pieces to the collection:

Getting pretty close to having a "Maori Room" at the estate now...

Pair of Polyarts in Hapawood

and some matchbooks

I felt real lazy this weekend so I didn't do much hunting. Grabbed these:

Treasure Craft coconut mug:

Some Aloha Joe's and Trader Vic's matchbooks I didn't have yet:

Buzzy, you must have a huge collection with all your finds
do you display it at home? or find it filling up boxes like I did?

Kinda both...I display everything I keep, until I decide to sell it. Then usually once a year before Tiki Oasis, I walk through my house and start grabbing stuff I don't want anymore and sell it. It was a good year for collecting this year, not so good for resale. I probably kept over 70% of what I bought this year. Usually I keep about 10% of what I find each year.

Buzzy Out!

MGM mug, Thanx Buzzy...

Worst sound ever, slurp of an empty tiki mug through my straw!!!
