Thrift Store Thursday on Friday...

Apologies for the late Thrift Store Thursday. Today our focus will be on what we call "bric-n-brak"


Here's a table full of what we at Union Gospel Mission call "bric-n-brak" there are plenty of other names you could use, such as

knickknack –noun an ornamental trinket or gimcrack; a bit of bric-a-brac.

tchotchke- noun Slang. an inexpensive souvenir, trinket, or ornament

Definitions courtesy of Dictionary.com. Now you not only have a few new words for the fun and decorative items, tchotchke is a great Scrabble word.

There are many fun small items at the store at extremely reasonable prices, so if you are tchotchke shopping, please check out the store.

11611 SW Pacific Hwy. in Tigard (across from the Tigard Cinemas) or give the store a call at 503-639-6488.
