Great stuff Ben! I've seen what the other vendors are bringing and there WILL be something there for everyone!

I've been asked if the event is "Family Friendly"...And to this I say YES!!! From the keikis to the tutus, everyone is "OHANA" at the International TIKI Market Place!

Come meet your friends at the ITMP and check out the goods, have some grog and listen to some great music! Tell them, "Meet me at the International TIKI Market Place".....

Back at this ITMP with some new lamp designs. We will also have our vintage clothes & some cool home made necklaces for the ladies.

WooHooo.....One Last Giant Mahalo to Our Sponsors

Don't Forget to Like Us On Facebook

October? Is this terrific, wonderful, outstanding event every month? Will it be also in November? How about December? If it were every month we would have months that we could be there and see all the outstanding tiki merchandise for sale and get loads of hugs, Wendy and Dan

Yesterday's event was great. So much ohana! Thanks to everyone who let me bend their ear. The music was great too. Thanks again to Karen and Chris plus Don's for giving us a place to gather, chat, and part with some cash. I am looking forward to the next one.

Mahaloez to Don the Beachcomber's crew for putting on another great ITMP and to the tiki ohana for coming out and supporting us vendors! It was great visiting with everyone, thanks for stopping by, and I'll seeing you at the next one!

Oh, I made it to the wedding reception about 5:45. I was only an hour and forty-five minutes late, but I got there right as the salad was being served :)

Thanks Chris & Karen! & a great group of sleep deprived vendors
A nice summer send off event & always great to see TC folks like Chippy coming around!

Thank you for the kind words! Definitely bring your friends! And since you asked....

Mark your calendars now! This one will be bigger and full of all the vendors and music that have made the International TIKI Market Place the place to meet friends, shop for great deals on tiki and island-style accessories, listen to some great live music and grab some grog and grub!

Excellent! Mrs. Kahala and I will be there. Just need to get our friends to commit.

Just heard that there was going to be a new mug release, I will be there. Also, just got some of the Tapa Hand made in Hawaii and Tonga in. I will post some of the pieces to be framed.
