Here's the things I have found in the last couple months that I haven't gotten around to posting. They were not all found on the same occasion. Yes, I find a lot at the GoodWill. I will be near one, get a feeling there is something for my tiki bar waiting inside and when I go inside, sure enough there always is. I have many more items than these ones that I am posting. Many items I then make into my own. I have also found a large collection of paper lanterns and mini bamboo lanterns all still in their packaging and never used. I am planning on opening them up once we have the tiki bar all built.

I found these two guys at the GoodWill.

All three mugs I found at the GoodWill. The Grog mug was the very first mug I ever found there.

Another GoodWill find. I have another set I found there, too, but they are no longer a fork and spoon set.

The bookends I found at the GoodWill and the book at a garage sale.

I pick up more monkey pod every time I go to GoodWill. You can never have too much to serve all your puupuus in.

Found the coconut dishes at the GoodWill. The other three pieces I found at a 2nd hand store.

Another GoodWill find.

One day when I was looking for tiki on Craigslist I found a posting for free tiki mugs. Something about a relationship ending and taking a hammer to them if someone didn't come get them. I couldn't let that happen! Sure, they are from China, but they were free and they are great to let people use at parties. Except for the dark brown one. I found that one in a 2nd hand store.

Again, Goodwill. I've passed on other coconut monkeys I've found there, but there was something about this one.

Lastly, also from the GoodWill, something to serve my pineapple upside down cake on.
