when i was little, my uncle lived in japan with his wife. they would always send my sisters and me toys and candy and things related to the culture wherever they traveled to. this little wooden figurine is something they sent us back then and i’ve brought it with me everywhere i’ve lived. he passed away back in august so it’s become even more meaningful to me. i miss him literally every day and it’s always so nice to be reminded of him through little things like this.

my most meaningful possession i own is definitely my stuffed animal Cheeks (you’ve met him!). he’s not a trinket per say but he’s definitely the most meaningful! first thing i grab if there’s ever a fire truly. he’s just so important to me and has always been there for me emotionally since day one. here’s a picture of him with my grandma from this past winter! also i have a habit of going about life as if toy story is non-fiction so he is fully sentient to me as well as all my other stuffed animals ,,
on the subject of trinkets though i am very much a collector. when i’m out with my family my dad always says “you can get that on amazon” but that defeats the whole purpose! i very much tie memories to little souvenirs and find significance in them which always brings me joy. i’m very easily distracted so when i get bummed out in any way, having trinkets around always without fail will lift my spirits.

Just gives me such a warm feeling! I saw this and I thought of you — now you see it every day and hopefully think of me! We love each other!

i was gazing at a photo of my grandma and was thinking about how stylish she was, and how much i loved how she decorated.
i was combing through all the decor i could see in the photo and saw the wall tapestry, and a wave of nostalgia hit me.
i decided to try to find a similar one to hang in her honor.
per usual ebay was the jackpot
