Puzzle Description:
Yiddish for "knickknack" or "trinket". Looks like something you'd buy at a roadside stand or a tourist trap :)

I love Yiddish words; they're so wonderfully descriptive. I'd hate to schlep that thing around!#2: larrry grizzard (gizzard) on Sep 30, 2011 [SPOILER]
Oy! I'm getting meschugina just thinking about it!#3: Joel Lynn (furface1) on Sep 30, 2011
But seriously, I "guessed" that there were no inter-image white spaces, and so this was pretty easy, almost just a fill in.
Can I buy a vowel? (I'm watching Wheel of Fortune while doing puzzles)#4: Teresa K (fasstar) on Oct 1, 2011 [SPOILER]
I enjoyed your puzzle, Amanda. There is a bit of charm in bringing back objects of remembrance from faraway places.#5: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Oct 1, 2011 [SPOILER]
Cute! I try not to be too many knickknack...you just have to dust them!#6: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Oct 3, 2011
Even better than the puzzle is learning to spell the word. For those of you trying to wrap your tongue around it, you can get close by ignoring the t's ... chawch' key#7: amanda_jamma (amanda_jamma) on Oct 8, 2011
Oy vey! I love Yiddish words too Kristen! Thanks for the nice comments all :)#8: Joanne Firla (JoFirla) on Apr 15, 2023
If it's small enough and catches the sunlight through it, tchotchkes make great windowsill items.
