Tchotch·ke noun informal: a small object that is decorative rather than strictly functional; a trinket.

The haul from this weekend: $32
We shopped garage sales in spite of the 100+ degree weather. On Friday, I scored a nice (new) San Diego Hat Company hat for $1, an angel from Germany's Erzgebirge $1 and a made in Germany Tiddlywinks mushroom with a still-sealed bag of winks inside $1.50
Then on Sunday, we went to the neighborhood sale around a golf course. Upscale neighborhood= Upscale prices. I ended up with tchotchkes (or in Dutch: Hebbedingetjes)-- plain kitsch. But we had a lot of fun and walked for 3+ hours and bought bottled water at many a sale to keep going. 

Made in England kitsch is still kitsch. But I couldn't pass up on this Liliput Lane Tea Room Cottage.
It's a miniature of my dream house. 

Jemima Puddle Duck made by Royal Albert not Beswick, alas. $10
Martha Stewart banquet size table cloth in the foreground $2.50
Melamine plate for the July 4th picnic collection fifty cents
New Pear tea towel fifty cents

From Germany with love: Waechtersbach mugs. A quarter each.
