I have so many things from different parts of my life that I can't part with. Maybe the oldest (and, thankfully, the smallest) is a tiny glass bottle with a little gnome man in it, that I got in my Christmas stocking when I was maybe 7 or 8. It has travelled everywhere with me, for the last 48 or so years. I will never ever part with my man in a bottle!
Oh my gosh, mine is a few specific tattered books. They've followed me everywhere. The spines are falling apart, the cats have nibbled them and I haven't read them in two decades. But like your porcelain cat, they feel like home!
I love this. And I love that it's just a few special books and not like "my library of 78,214 books." It's those few special ones that for whatever reason, they feel like home. ❤️
I want to see the cat!!
Me too!
There's a pic in the preview of the post (if you go to the How To Stuff Your Home home page or whatever it's called on substack.

I have a carved wooden Buddha that is my porcelain cat.
I feel like there is definitely a story behind this Buddha. And I feel like we also need a picture. 😆.
The Buddha is back in Scotland otherwise I'd show you. 😊
Aw shucks. haha.
I adore this and relate to every bit of it. ♡
That's so lovely. ❤️ What is your "porcelain cat?"
