I have a bronze sculpture I got for my 50th birthday which is my pride and joy.
I am not a particular fan of glass ornaments (it has to be exceptional) but I have two very expensive pieces of Cypriot glass that I just adore.
I have a 'gallery' of simply-framed black and white photographs of 1940s Paris..... divine!
I also have an enlarged framed photograph of my father and I (I was about six years old) taken in Canada that my brother surprised me with and, now that I have moved, I have on the wall in my new office.
I have some treasured photographs of my days involved in international offshore powerboat racing and also some of my background in architecture...
Both my dream jobs!
One of the most dearest things to me though is the small bean-filled soft 'Mr Men' toy that sits by my desk......

If I said it was one of the most dearest things to me, it must clearly be sentimental and means a lot.

I don't have anything in the line of material things cause I've never been into them.
What I do have are some black and white photos of my mother and father.Those have always been very special to me.

A 21st birthday present that my mum bought for me. It's a tiger figurine. When I move from one house to the next, it's always the last thing to take and the first thing that goes into my room. It's become a ceremony now

In response to: What do you have? That you love to have around you.
Other than my seven guitars, 3 keyboards, and assorted musical and sound equipment I don't have much of any particular interest...unless you count my cars.

I'd be surprised if my post-1960s toy town house made by the Lego generation is still standing 100 years from now.
So right, some of the new stuff was not built with the same quality and care. And some of the very old buildings must be handled with care and preserved because of the age.
In Miami everything and I mean most everything was not built until after 1930 and then it really grew after 1960 - so my vision of old is not a European vision of old.
