Dear friends,

We surround ourselves with things we like. Some are simple necessities, like a toothbrush, a glass, or a pair of socks. Other things represent our personal taste, our aesthetics, like a necklace, a painting, or a fragrance. These objects form our environment, creating a sense of place that can be both stationary, like home, or transient. 

Make a collection of 25 things you like. Show them to us, adding a commentary on the object: what is it? what does it do? how did it come to be yours? Will it be gone someday? Anything that clarifies the object's qualities or significance will be helpful.
