Every. single. holiday. we get more junk.</p> <p>Some of it I don't use but I usually feel guilty and put some of it out...I'd feel bad if the gift-giver came over to my house and didn't see it sitting around somewhere. Sigh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-lot-of-tchotchkes#post-108000 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 20:15:49 +0000 MsMini 108000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH despises having knick-knacks lying around, so they actively make their way to the garbage can/donation box! I am not a fan of clutter either, so I am definitely okay with eliminating them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-lot-of-tchotchkes#post-107906 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 17:56:41 +0000 heffalump 107906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: lol, such a good show! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-lot-of-tchotchkes#post-107896 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 17:45:03 +0000 Andrea 107896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: haha, cute!! i think i know a lot of words because i've seen every episode of seinfeld.

My favorite book so far is yidish for babies -its so cute. A quote from it "if you want to start a ruckus, raise your arms and shake your tuches! "</p> <p>@Crumbs: yay for piggy stuff!</p> <p>@regberadaisy: yes, knick knacks. Very nice of you to comprise! At least that's less dusting for you.</p> <p>@Mrsdaredevil: love antiquing! Your house sounds fun with all of that neat, unique stuff in it!</p> <p>@daniellemybelle: I make my husband take all his tchotchkes to his office... at work. Best of both worlds. He gets to keep them and I don't have to see them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-lot-of-tchotchkes#post-107885 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 17:27:35 +0000 daniellemybelle 107885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a few... most of them are sentimental things DH has accumulated and are in his office. We also have a few things that we were given as wedding gifts, like crystal vases, that we have out on a table with framed photos. I don't love the look but it makes our home look more complete. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-lot-of-tchotchkes#post-107801 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 12:41:50 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 107801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: i am a decorating freak and pretty much everything in my house is from a thrift store, an antique store, or repurposed! my house is full of vintage tchotckes. i love mid-century stuff and the quirky little figurines they made back then!</p> <p>haha ETA: I knew what you were talking about because I went to interior design school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-lot-of-tchotchkes#post-107794 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 12:23:47 +0000 regberadaisy 107794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Say what?? Like knick knacks?</p> <p>I am a knick knacky person but my husband is not!! So I am forced to keep it to a minimum! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-lot-of-tchotchkes#post-107741 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 10:29:10 +0000 SugarplumsMom 107741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I learned a new word today =) We don't have a lot of tchotchkes, but I do have some ceramic pig coin holders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-lot-of-tchotchkes#post-107734 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 10:23:40 +0000 Andrea 107734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know Yiddish!

My husband and I are both neat freaks and cannot stand clutter! But I think collecting pigs is cute :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-lot-of-tchotchkes#post-107638 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 08:44:27 +0000 heffalump 107638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: @Rubies: I tend to forget other people don't speak yiddish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-lot-of-tchotchkes#post-107625 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 08:35:15 +0000 Rubies 107625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL, I had to look it up, too. Chooch-kuh! LOL. We don't have any... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-lot-of-tchotchkes#post-107615 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 08:30:25 +0000 chopsuey 107615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea what a tchotchkes is! Okay just googled it. HAha. No we don't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-lot-of-tchotchkes#post-107612 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 08:17:50 +0000 heffalump 107612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We can't have a lot of tchotchkes out because our dog would eat them when we leave. We have some stuff on the mantel (which I want to get rid of most of it, just waiting to find something else that I want on there instead) and we have some stuff in a china cabinet. But I don't mind that because it's all tucked away in there. It's hard because I get a lot of tchotchkes for gifts because I collect pigs, so I don't know what to do with them all. </p>
