BTW "What kind of impression did you leave on her?" Not a single mark. She was young, just a sprout. I didn't touch her. I don't care what she told you. [ Edited by Will carve on 2023-09-24 05:48:52 ] |

Finally got the missing mug to complete the full collection of 8 (thanks to a great friend) (Unless I’m unaware of another one I’m missing) |

Here's a good reason not to sleep on Parrothead estate sales. The clown tiki may be a turnoff, but it distracts the Tommy Bahama crowd so that we can turn up interesting finds. At said estate sale The Wife was able to muscle her way through the crowd and come away with these glass floats, a cork line, nifty dress and other stuffs: I had been unable to accompany her, but the following day we returned together fully expecting the place to be completely picked over. Wrong. We found more cork lines, a bunch of buoys that'd been overlooked by everyone plus... ...a replica whaling harpoon shoved into a corner, completely forgotten by everyone. It didn't even have a price marked. I asked how much and the estate sale lady looked at it with distaste and said "$12." With the second day discount I got it for $8. It's only a replica (aluminum toggle) but even replicas go for a lot on Ebay. I've wanted one for years and now I've got one. Yay me! |

Thanks, Mike! We didn't start hitting estate sales until maybe two years ago and I keep forgetting this thread is here. I shall try to do better in the future! |

Picked up a 1950's lighted globe. Mint. I can see it in the corner already and I dont even have a Tiki bar! [ Edited by Maleko on 2024-01-03 17:04:54 ] |

Time to catch up on my aloha shirt finds from the past few months. I found this one at an Oceanside thrift store before Tiki Oasis. Much like my previous Hilo Hattie find, this doesn't fit, either, even though it says it's a large (could it be a ladies L? It doesn't look like a ladies cut....) Got this at a "higher end" thrift store in Fort Collins in September. This one fits. And then I was very excited to snatch up this one for $2.50 at one of the local shops in December. |

Trying mobile app here goes... Finding anything here in Eastern Canada is a bit of a treat. Marquesan "Ukarere". No idea of age. Will need a bit of work, but I might just get it to display condition as opposed to playable. ps heh major mobile upload struggles... should have gotten a child to do it...
