My wife and I have been collecting vintage tiki mugs since the early 1990′s. These were ceramic glasses that you would get a tropical drink in if you visited a Polynesian themed restaurant in the 1960′s and 1970′s. Most establishments let you bring the mug home as a souvenir. These mugs eventually found their way to thrift stores and garage / estate sales. For years my wife and I scoured these places picking up whatever discarded polynesian and tiki stuff we could find.
I decided to decorate the nursery with some examples of our tiki mug collection so others could enjoy them as well. The photos below show a few on a floating shelf in the front lobby- I’ve got alot more shelves to put up and fill with more tikis!

I love tropicals, wish I had a green thumb. Wonderful Witco with spears, never seen that before.
