Pretty early for tikis to be showing up in the garden. In fact, when I look at your postcard, Kate, I suspect a connection with Skipper Kent's. That Moai looks suspiciously like the signature Moai used for the Skipper Kent's mugs and salt shakers. And that other tiki makes an appearance in this early Skipper Kent's postcard. So the tikis might be his? just conjecture. Nice work there Sabu. The other Tiki in the postcard also looks just like the one in front of Skipper Kents. DC
