Sometimes useless things we move from home to home.
Stuff that for some reason we, our parents, or even our
grandparents, never threw away. Because they are beautiful,
because they meant something and maybe they still do...
Maybe just because they lasted so long that deserve
to last forever. Here are my valuables: inherited, found or
acquiered myself, picturing what I believe is worth keeping
and someday left behind for those who will come after.
