The Metiki Gal: Collecting Kitsch - Giant Tiki Forks & Spoons
http://themetikigal.blogspot.com/2011/07/collecting-kitsch-giant-tiki-forks.html
Wednesday, July 6, 2011. Collecting Kitsch - Giant Tiki Forks and Spoons. They reached their height of popularity in the late sixties and early seventies. No trip to Hawaii was complete without bringing a set of these babies back! The set below even has "Hawaii '73" carved into it. I can just imagine the fantastic vacation this set commemorated. Until next time, keep your tiki mugs filled and be on the look out for the Metiki Gal! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Metiki Gal's Fav Blogs.

The Metiki Gal: On The Road To Recovery
http://themetikigal.blogspot.com/2011/11/on-road-to-recovery.html
Wednesday, November 9, 2011. On The Road To Recovery. So The Metiki made it's journey to the shop. Hopefully the repair time will be quick and I'll be back on the road next week. I'm very excited to get to drive it again. The cooler weather is here and car show, cruise-in season is in full swing. I have decided not to sell the car for the moment. I will hopefully be up and running within the next week. I hope I still have a few readers of my silly little blog. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Metiki Gal: April 2011

Wednesday, April 27, 2011. This book came out in 1958 after Thor's Kon-Tiki Voyage. The back covers claims it is a Fascinating scientific whodunit. It notes that Aku-Aku means "guardian spirit" to the natives of Easter Island in the Southeast Pacific - the loneliest island in the world. On this barren and isolated island men of mystery built huge stone images - and then disappeared. Sunday, April 24, 2011. While Lounging at the Cabana. Secret Agent Man and myself decided on an 'outdoor table' although al...

Sunday, July 31, 2011. Beachcombing from the Kitchen Counter. Sunday and no plans. What's a girl to do.experiment with a new cocktail! Sad Aussie Margarita.establishment unnamed.. I substituted the 03 for the Cointreau even though I did have it sitting in the Metiki Bar. I also realized I did not have a proper cocktail glass, quell horrors! This completed product of the Beachcomber was most yummy. So much so that I soon fixed my second one. Then the frenzied cleaning began - no room or corner wa...Despi...

The Metiki Gal: Rumbler Round Up
http://themetikigal.blogspot.com/2011/09/rumbler-round-up.html
Monday, September 5, 2011. Slip and The Spinouts provided live rockabilly for most of the afternoon. Hats off to them for performing in this heat. I haven't seem them play in over a year - they are a tight trio with a great line-up of rockabilly classics and a little Johnnie Cash thrown in. On a side note, Slip has the best sideburns in the state - truly a work of art. This was a great show. I've been to all the Rumbler's shows for the past several years, I remember it at Cowboys and Bruce Rossmeyer'...

The Metiki Gal: Micro Road Trip
http://themetikigal.blogspot.com/2011/07/micro-road-trip.html
Tuesday, July 19, 2011. As the evening drew near, we relocated as a group to Juilian's for a little tiki atmosphere and dinner. This is a classic restaurant in cool vintage A-Frame style. . While the tiki finds were very slim at Julian's, they do have one the most beautiful Hawaiian murals I've ever seen. I also found an interesting Witco African Queen carving. Not exactly tiki but a cool find none the less. Not bad for a Saturday night. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Metiki Gal's Fav Blogs.

http://themetikigal.blogspot.com/2011/07/return-trip-to-out-space.html
Saturday, July 23, 2011. A Return Trip to Out a Space! Despite a very hot and humid morning Secret Agent Man and myself headed out early for a little thrift store shopping and a visit to my fav MCM Store locally - Out a Space in Eau Gallie, FL. We hit several thrift stores first hoping for some good finds. The thrifting gods were not with me this morning though. I could not find anything not even a lonely tiki fork!
