Tiki Tuesday: Thrift Store Finds

Have you ever had the wonderful experience of wishing for something, and then almost magically finding it?

I have been thinking a bit about doing a little new artwork with a tiki theme. The first thing I need when I start a new art project is resource materials, and I was just starting to think along those lines, when...voila! Look what I found!

 

There is a little thrift store on my street, which, to be honest, rarely coughs up anything great. This day, however, it was home to an enormous collection of old books on primitive cultures, including these nice books.

Check out the illustrations!

 

I can't wait to put these to use...stay tuned for a little artwork, maybe!

Tiki Tuesday: Finding Tiki In The Oddest Places

(((OK...just a quick post as it's past my bedtime))

Look what I found in a thrift shop in Page, AZ!

 

This one's got beautiful photos inside:

 

.50 cents each!!!

Now I just need a portable record player and this RV would be hula-ing through the desert :-)
