Goodness, if only I had a time machine so that I could go back in time and reclaim the things I stupidly threw out or gave away. If only I knew back then how much into nostalgia I'd be! I love it when I'm scouring charity shops and thrift stores, and I come across something from my childhood. It goes without saying that it usually ends up coming home with me!
I'm realistic enough to know that it's IMPOSSIBLE to keep everything you've ever owned in your life - not to mention what you parents and grandparents have owned too. But now that I'm a proper nostalgiac who loves vintage and retro, there are things that I wish I hadn't been in such a hurry to get rid of. These include:
My collection of magazines
Some of my toy collection
Schoolwork
I also wish my mum hadn't got rid of most of her JAJ Pyrex collection and other kitchen bits and pieces.
Is there anything you had that is now long gone but you wish it wasn't?
Two things: My old school uniform and all my Neighbours bits and pieces. To be honest when I left school I was so glad to see the back of that uniform but now I think it might have been nice to keep hold of it. And with Neighbours on it's way out it would have been nice to have saved some mementos of when the soap was essential viewing.
