I have a bunch of them, mostly stuff from particularly nostalgic periods in my life. I get sentimental so easily haha. I still have this really old fleecy coat I've had since I started school. I'd never give it up even though it's not my style anymore as I mostly wear puffer coats now

A corner hutch from my great-grandmother.

A first edition "From here to Eternity" that I found in the corner hutch while visiting my great-grandmother.

A set of hand drawn and colored fashion drawings the previous owner of my great-grandmother's house did that I found in her attic when I was playing up there as a kid.

Grandfather's handmade metal spoon and chop sticks that he made in Korea during the war.

Louisville Stoneware Marine Corps decanter and cup set the my grandfather gave my parents when they got married.

My first Leatherman.

A small yellow teddy bear wearing a bib that says "My First Bear" that my aunt gave me when I was born.

And the list goes on. A majority of what decorates my abode that isn't LEGO's is sentimental stuff.
