I'll have a few more of those 1960's tele pole tiki bar stools at the next Don the Beachcomber International Tiki Marketplace!
The last 2 went to a home in Stockton.
The buyer was close friends with the Stockton "Islander" family. She is building a bar in her attic. Should
be good!

No surprise! I have never seen Don's so packed!
Glad you have done so well...I think others are in the same boat :wink:

I did just see that Thor managed to get some of his newest mugs created--but will only have a limited supply debuting at the Marketplace.

Severed Blackbeard's head mug!
This baby is HUGE!

5O vendors means Don's is going to be stuffed to the brim with vintage tiki goodness!
Woohooo!

SUPER MAHALOZ to everyone who took some original Bamboo Ben home with them today!

I'll be cooking up some new stuff for the next one. Keep an eye out :wink:

See you all on March 12th ONLY at Don the Beachcomber!!!

Looks like the next one has been announced.

March 12th.

And on the backside of that card is this!

Keeping Art Snyder and Donn Beach's spirits alive!

Wow!
Over 500 folks came and visited us at Don's last Saturday!
Met so many new friends and got to catch up with old ones!
Thank you ALL,for
visiting
keeping my brain occupied with questions
adopting some original llt art
and all the hugs!
Such a GREAT turnout and smiles EVERYWHERE!
Hooray to Don's and the Tiki Community for such a strong show of support!
See you all in march with Tons of Amazing new work!
:)

I can't believe the line to get in and the 600+ people through the door. This time last year it wasn't even half as many people...I guess change brings great things and thank goodness for THAT!

I love how there always seems to be new vendors excited to be selling and to be a part of the such an original and special event. Art would be so happy!

When you can barely get through the crowd because there are so many people shopping you know Don's is killing it.

Can't wait for the next one in March!

Here are some pictures form Last Sunday.

Lots of familiar faces and lots of fun.
Here are some more.

This is the second section, to the right of the entrance to Don's, a new room. I guess they ran out of space. I actually bought a few items here that I liked.
