I use to go out and "find" small items that reminded me of certain things so I could carry them around for awhile to remember lessons or feelings; you just gave me the idea, Mouse, to have a charm bracelet made -- I'd go find me a pram, LOL.

I still have my nineteenth century brass house key on my keyring that unlocks my imaginary library à la Henry Higgins and the French doors leading to the brick-walled garden, à la Burnett's A Secret Garden.
