NBR: Help me with chotchkies

GAGirlyGirl

What are your favorite chotchkies?

Where do you buy your chotchkies?

most of our stuff like that is gifts from friends/family that live in other countries or from travels.  We have a bit of an international art collection going on.  Kind of like ten thousand Villages.  They have one in the highlands.

 

I also like z gallerie, west elm and CB2.  CB2 is coming to midtown Atlanta soon

Willow tree angels.  Usually found in hallmark stores or cracker barrel.

a chotchkie is the same as a knick-knack, right?  My favorite things are all pieces either given to me as gifts or handed down from a family member.  I have a ceramic vase that DH's parents sent me for Christmas the first year we started dating.  I can't remember how but for some reason my husb thought it had gotten broken during shipping and it makes me smile every time I remember how happy he was to see that it made it safe in one piece.  I have a pair of brass bookends that used to be in my parents house.  They remind me of being a little kid and looking though all of my dad's art books.  I also have a little tiny plaque that says "whatever souls are made of, mine and yours are the same."  My bff gave it to me and I think it's so true. 

I don't like a lot of collectibles but I have one of the willow tree angles that is the angel of the kitchen.

see, to me a chochtkie is a guy who is like a step down from a douche bag.  I didn't know this was something else and was very confused.

You could very well be right.  If that's the case then I change my answer to this guy I know named Dave.

To me, a chotchtkie is a bunch of crappy plastic toys.  I used to work at Party City in high school and they have a whole aisle of chocktkies that people use for goody bags and stuff.  I've never heard it used to describe knick knacks before!  And Heather... I think I like your definitition best.

We get a lot of ours at Crate and Barrel and Homegoods.

It is a knick-knack to me-- I think it is Yiddish, maybe?  And the spelling I have seen before is tchochke.

And that's one to grow on...  (anyone else remember those commercials? )

Actually, you spell it tchotchke or tshatshke (Yiddish) for trinket.

You cannot beat Junkman's Daughter in Little Five Points for that kind of stuff.

I thought it was all the crap you get in goodybags at birthday parties..that crap goes in the trash the minute I get home!  I like Heather's idea and unfortunately I know several of those!
