Tchotchkes.

Gabby took me to Gordie Harper's Bazaar for dinner because she knows my fondness for tacky art. The funny thing was how much stuff I recognized from my own childhood. I've mostly gotten it out of my system but when I was little I was totally obsessed with this crap. Now when I look through it I mostly wonder what the original artist was thinking when they made it. I wonder how many of them had aspirations of being a respected artist or how many of them were just bored and had a knack for sculpting animals in the shape of clocks and bottle holders.
