Whoooo Hooo!! Been wanting to post this!! It is a gorgeous book!! I did the kickstarter thing and I just want to say the authors are stand up dudes. I had up dated my address in Kickstarter a while back and Kickstarter didn’t update it for this project for whatever reason and it was shipped to my old address and .fassionola took care of me and got me my book… and I love it!! Thank you so much!! Please support these guys, the book is super rad!

This is so rad!!! I’ve been trying to get my hands on this for a while!! While I was in Illinois last month for work, I went to a liquor store that carries and they did not have but I asked if they could order it. They said no guarantees… but… It came in late last week and my manager brought it to me while he was working at our site today and yesterday.
Time to start checking out all the recipes!!🍹🍹🍹

Had to get the new Sven Kirsten book and mug!! It’s been sitting in a box unopened for what seems like a few months. Another great edition to the !!
I arrange my books on the shelf by height, so it’s nice that can sit next to his brother

Went on a work trip out of town… and score!! Some bottles I’ve been wanting for a while. Not sure why, but I haven’t been able to find the in over a year in multiple states. I use to see it in Portland and never bought it, then when I wanted to buy some it was gone… but here we are.. back in business so I doubled up! 😋. The Diamond 151 was a bonus!!

Haven’t made a collecting post in awhile! I have 2 more books coming so figured I’d better get on it. 😊 One new book I’ve been waiting 2 years for was delivered to the wrong address so hopefully it arrives. 🤞I have some other finds to share soon too and a decent new record haul I acquired.

Went to Brucemore Mansion in Cedar Rapids close about 10 miles from my hometown today. I remember going here a few times as a kid on school tour in the 80s and 90s and I have no doubt it helped spark and shape my love for Tiki. The Tahitian Room was built in the basement of the mansion in 1937 and is arguably one of the first home tiki bars, the owner at the time had to be inspired by Don the beachcomber because the ceiling of the Tahitian room has a tin ceiling and they have a sprinkler that still work and creates a rain sound effect. It has been preserved in its original condition since the 30’s, it actually predates Tiki and there are Hula girls but no tiki figures. I’ve been wanting to revisit again for a few years and it’s exactly as I remember from 30+ years ago.
If you’re in Cedar Rapids IA I strongly recommend visiting.

Tiki Kon day 2! Hit up the Island Marketplace with my good friends Aleks and Shauntel! I picked up a sweet new Aloha shirt and Aleks got me some rad swizzles and one is a Don Ho swizzle, will have to posts those soon. I watched a bit of the Crazy for Caftans meetup by the pool. Then I ran over to the 20 years of Tiki Kon panel with and It was so cool to hear how it all came together. My first Tiki Kon event was in 2011, and it’s still my favorite Tiki Mug I own.

Tiki Kon Final Voyage is here!!
I’ve ran a screen printing business for the last 19 years and I just sold my business a few weeks ago. But before I completed the sale, the Tiki Kon final voyage shirts were my second to last order. I’m so thankful to Greg and Justin for going with me to print this beautiful art on the shirts this year. It was so neat to see them all on the rack and how many people were snapping them up! Make sure grab them before they’re gone! Here’s a peek of one hot on the press. 😁

I didn’t get too many pics from this afternoon but I had fun walking around and catching up with some amazing Tiki peeps! 😊 Also got to attend the awesome Witco panel with
Can’t wait to cruise around and check everything out for day two tomorrow! 😊

I’m behind on posting again haha I got these records in Seattle a couple weeks ago. Finally found in the wild!! 😱 Its vintage and a mini which I believe are kind of rare. Nice to finally have it in the collection!
I have more records I got when I visited Iowa last month and books to share in coming posts 😊
