Kitsch #3

Love a little kitsch, but it can stay at the store.  Sometimes I find amusement in it.

kitsch #2

kitsch

Collectible, nostalgia inducing products, artworks or people.
At some point mass produced and at a later point rising in value and sentimentality. Souvenirs, paraphernalia and memorabilia.
Written off as junk by the untrained eye. Appreciated as naive and beautiful by those with a discerning eye and a refined sense of aesthetic.

Kitsch #1

"Kitsch causes two tears to flow in quick succession. 
The first tear says: How nice to see children running on the grass! 
The second tear says: How nice to be moved, together with all mankind, by children running on the grass!
It is the second tear that makes kitsch kitsch."
-- Kundera
