Do you get this?
This is something I struggle with. I grow attached to certain items, like cups and old toys which I never want to break or lose.
A few years back my mum had a Ferguson vintage hifi system. It was only small but had this brilliant amber display and meters that moved to the music. I used to watch it for hours when she played itsometimes I just switched it on so I could see it lit up - she never knew that!
Sadly our old house had a fire and it was lost in the fire. I've looked online everywhere since but I just cannot find another one like it. A few times similar have been found but it has to be that one.
This was it, it probably looks ordinary and boring but to me it was out of this world!

Another was a bear I was given by my aunt - she was a lovely woman, had a great sense of humour and I think was autistic as she had a lot of autism traits about her. This bear is so special to me, it never leaves my side and I know I would be broken without it. I've researched it - found out a lot of history on it.
I'd be interested in knowing some of your items you're obsessed with and don't want to be parted from.
Oh and if you know where I can find the stereo let me know please :-)
