Context:....she likes to search the back lanes for bric-a –brac....
I am looking for some sort of (well-established) German idiom, however, standard dictionary entries such as Nippsachen / Nippes, bric-a-brac / Knick-Knacks don't seem to be very satisfactory.
Thanks for your help in advance

scheint mir heute der gängigere Begriff für bric-à-brac zu sein, zumal im Text steht, dass in "back lanes" gesucht wird.
