Also, after I read the line "the mug is already broken", an imaginary gong sounded in my head. I'm envious of your mugs for sure...vintage tiki objects are almost impossible to find "in the wild" around here. The local thrift stores seem to be more oriented toward 8-track tapes and used baseball caps :-( Beautiful photos!

I *may* have somehow come into possession of an authentic first-run bottle of St. George’s Absinthe… it is quite tasty. :)

re: Bar

Our new bar is coming along - the back bar is (mostly) built out - ten feet long in our basement!

It was without a price tag, so the sales lady made up a price. I like to think of it as a reward for rescuing it from its ignominious fate. I probably shouldn't gloat about the Munktiki mugs I've picked up at that same thrift store for under $1, right? Also, that drink was delicious.
