figurine has to be really old, or it is ok, when it just looks vintage?

I love this idea but i wonder does everybody truly understand kitschy? I will sign up as soon as I complete my max 5 this week. I already have in mind my main send item, but i would hate to receive some plain dust collector. I was going to post the definition but there is so many variations. Perhaps you should post what definition you would like to go by.

I prefer animals/birds if possible. Thanks.

I understand travelbunny's concern...but you could always do something fun to even the worst figurine. One thing I've done is collected a bunch of ceramic birds that didn't match and spray painted all of them with a matte white. Now they look like a matched set and look awesome and brand new and totally cute! So many options...

Skirts I adore that idea, and I'm stealin' it. Thanks ;)

I prefer animals/birds also.Or even kewpie babies. I LOVE vintage planters. Ya know the kitschy ones like a lamb with a hole in its back to plant a little something. ;P I'm sure I'll like anything you send.
