Thrift stores are such a bonanza of treasures masquerading as trash. (The Dollar Tree chain also has loads and loads of stuff that can be used as a part of tiki creation...but that's a different topic). My wife and I go to one thrift store where you kind of need to bathe after the fact (though that can be fun if my wife is into conserving water that day, but I digress), but there are treasures there that we have fumigated, cleansed, and have put in our midcentury home. What is especially wonderful about thrift stores is that what you are likely to find vis a vis tiki stuff is probably also pretty period correct in many cases.
