I WAS CONTACTED BY THIS TIKI NETWORK INTERESTED IN PACIFIC CULTURE AND ASKED TO PUT VARIED PHOTOS OF OUR STORE TO SHOW THE COLLECTOR PIECES WE CARRY (WITH TEXT AS WELL ABOUT THE ORIGIN AND USE OF THOSE RARE ITEMS), IT IS INTERESTING TO LOOK AT AND IT WILL GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT WE COLLECT AND OF MY OWN ART WORK THAT SELLS IN GALLERIES DOWN HERE, AND I WILL POST MORE AND MORE PICTURES WHENEVER I HAVE TIME.
When we are home, we start our auctions at very low starting prices because we go straight to the source and have no middle man, plus we are always in the process of making room in different sections of our compound for the next containers, so we often have liquidation sales. If you want a quick preview or a list of the variety of collector items we carry, from antiques to traditional crafts, unique and unusual accessories, textiles and artwork, I will name a few: handpainted signed glass work, original signed paintings (framed or not), unique handmade funky dolls from Australia.

WE ALSO HAVE A STORE OF ANTIQUE HANDCOLORED AND RARE PRINTS FROM PAST CENTURIES THAT WE CUSTOM FRAME IN ONE-OF-A-KIND SIGNED FRAMES HAND-PAINTED TO LOOK LIKE THE FRAMES FROM LAST CENTURY. WE SELL SOME OF THOSE PRINTS ON EBAY: FRAMED, JUST MATTED or INDIVIDUALLY. EVERYTHING WE CARRY IS ANTIQUE or HANDCRAFTED AND OFTEN UNIQUE, WE HAVE NOTHING MASS-PRODUCED. WE DO NOT PUT THE LARGEST AND RAREST ITEMS AT AUCTION UNLESS REQUESTED AS THEY ARE MORE COSTLY TO SHIP. iF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK AND WE WILL ALWAYS ANSWER IF WE ARE IN TOWN. THE FOLLOWING IS MY USUAL "ME" page, I ADDED THE PAGE ABOVE RECENTLY:
I am also an artist and paint everything from canvas to murals, furniture, small objects, glass (which is then baked to be able to go into the dishwasher) and I can put items on ebay upon request, there are a few there monthly on the buy it now priced at less than 1/2 of what the galleries (where my work is selling) get, Art galleries in Florida, allowing me to continue painting as I would have ran out of room if I had had to keep it all!. My other passion, shared by my husband, is travelling and, through our desire to learn more about other countries and cultures, we go abroad as much as we have time to or can afford, preferably to remote places where life has a pace of its own which we appreciate and relate to. The traveling always inspires me as it gives me new ideas for my work on glass, canvas, furniture, walls and now that I also sell on ebay, which eats every moment I have left, I don't have a minute to be bored ever! This retirement is not what I expected it to be!!
Now we welcome you to our little bazaar or gallery of unusual or rare pieces, ENJOY!.
We have collected artifacts from all over the world. We started years ago collecting for ourselves only but soon, seeing what we were bringing back, friends and then collectors asked us to locate artifacts for them as well, since we often went deep inland where there is little tourism and loved being given a further reason to hunt for treasures. TAKE CARE AND BE WELL.
TO ALL MY WONDERFUL CUSTOMERS AS WELL AS THE MANY SELLERS I BUY FROM,THAT HAVE BECOME MY FRIENDS AS WELL ON EBAY: We are gone for 3 months/year abroad on hunting-for-treasures trips during which we have no auctions running on ebay and are unable to answer emails since we are often in places with no electricity. When we have no auctions running is a sign that we are abroad.
