\"postcard\"<\/p>\n

I have wanted to do a site archiving tiki ephemera for a while. I worked with kohalacharms to plan a site to archive his collection and others. Humuhumu<\/a> said she was working on a similar plan herself. Better to support her than split our resources.<\/p>\n

Her latest creation is Arkiva Tropika<\/a>, and it is the collection of Mimi Payne, and it is exquisite! One look at the front page and I fall in love with Poly Pop all over again!<\/p>\n

Thanks Mimi for sharing and thanks Humuhumu for making it a joy!<\/p>\n
