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!

And yes, I want to see the cat too!

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. 😊

That's so lovely. ❤️ What is your "porcelain cat?"

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. ❤️
