Seriously, honey, can we have a talk about......

KITSCH ?

Believe or not, every tacky, schmaltzy, thing you ever saw in the 1950's and 1960's is popular with collectors these days. Not to be confused with shabby chic,  kitschiness manifests itself in housewares, appliances, knick knacks, figurines, toasters, napkin holders, toothpick holders, barware, TV lamps and bedroom stuff too. The schmaltzier the better seems to be the trend. 

A great example of kitsch are these three all lucite flower plaques. They are so tacky they really are cool. Lucite is HOT right now too. They are available here.


This plastic flower arrangement is also super kitschy. It is available here

Here is some kitten kitsch.
Deer figurines like these are super kitschy.
Super schmaltzy toothpick dispensers like this one are kitschy.
Any old figurine style lamps that went on top of your television get the kitschy designation. Light up eyes or whatever are an added bonus.
 
Cats available here

This lamp of an Asian junk with pottery figures is available here and fits the kitschy bill perfectly.

Killer kitsch lamp available here 

Remember, the tackier the better when thinking kitsch. A great place to see a ton of kitschy products for sale is right here, Team Kitsch.
