The inhabitant of this little dwelling is a very special soul. Set on the sands just below Huntington Beach Pier, in California, creative magic happens here. This person has traded the typical "pressures" of their life for "Pier Pressures" that are hardly pressures at all! With a deep passion to turn California Palm trees into enchanted Tiki’s, a faithful dog waits for the signal to take these creations via vintage dune buggy to sell to some very lucky buyers on the pier.
The smell of breakfast rises from the smoke filled tin can chimney. A spread of hand-made carving tools remains on the palm weave mat, as we notice the sand dollar wind chimes, recycled drift wood hut walls, a favorite guitar and lightning bolt painted surf board. Is this place capturing a snapshot of time in the 1960's, or is this a person who simply brings this time into the present?
Feel free to visit... leave your slippers on the front porch and give a tap with the shell door knocker. The coffee is hot and help is always welcome to get these wondrous Tiki's off to their new owners, bringing good fortune to all! ~THOR -
