It's a soothing thought, perhaps, that everyone has trinkets and other ephemera floating around in their lives. That's part of what makes "what's in my bag?" posts so fascinating — the fact that we all have miscellaneous stuff. That's right boys, I used an em dash. Don't be scared.
I love to see the contents of people's bags, wallets, or drawers. Do you have cash? Do you have a library card? Do you have a photo of someone? Maybe I'll show you what's usually in my bag later, but right now, here's a selection of things that I store in a little plastic folder. These are my mementos.
But what the hell are they? Let me explain them to you. From left to right:
- My school photo. Looking good!
- A handwritten thank you note from my favourite Tokyo restaurant, Umezono Sushi.
- My Ghibli Museum ticket.
- A picture of a child that I found on the ground in Paris (Amélie moment).
- Origami cranes, a small gift from another restaurant in Japan.
- Musée d'Orsay and Arc de Triomphe tickets (€16? Is she rich?).
- Bunny. I just like him.
Thank you for sharing. (Like you, I am endlessly fascinated by other people's Stuff.)
ReplyDeleteThese are so nice! I also collect little trinkets like these, with the hope that I'll eventually paste them into my scrapbook that I haven't touched in months!
ReplyDeleteYesss I love a good potential scrapbooking collection.
DeleteI LOVE seeing people's stuff too! I wanna know what everyone treasures and is most important to have in your bag. I might have to make a post about this too (maybe once I'm done dealing with my mystery illness lol.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon!
DeleteThank you!
DeleteI have a little 3d printed hedgehog in my bag, maybe an inch long from nose to rump. I got him from a kind stranger who had a whole tiny zoo on their dashboard in the parking lot, and when I complimented it, she offered to give me a creature!
