Could be an attached memory or sentimental value, whatever.
Conventional worth be dammed.
Given to me it would either be the quilts my grandmother made, or the charts my grandfather followed along with during the moon landing.
Personal items would be the assorted thank you notes the elderly have given me from being in retirement industry. Want to make a collage of them one day.
The Don Quijote painting my Babushka made. I love it. I’m glad I got it when she passed. As far as I know there are two in the family. This one and one in blue.
Not worthless. That is some dope piece of art! I bet that would put your dining room together nicely!
This post actually gave me the idea to make a website with all her art. I hope my relatives participate.
