Don't send me personal heirlooms or anything you'll regret losing.
I like antiques, but only those which can still serve a functional or ceremonial purpose. I don't like to fill my life maintaining a surplus of seldom used things, so I want one globe, not a collection. I'd like the whole collection however, and compensate by getting the creme de la creme (the first, the last, the best, the most significant). I'd like a globe that's illustrated with sea monsters, doubles as a star finder, is illuminated, and in relief. I grab the best photo on a roll and leave the rest alone. My favorite artifacts look like retro / antique knick-knack's & goofy toys, esp wind-up, illuminated, musical, doll/figurines (no porcelain), & optical lens items, otherwise stone or candles are best. I'll generally recognize things for their content. Silk and lead-foil are what I usually wrap things in. A warning would be nice for anything requiring containment. Please, no black holes or items with generic vendettas. I could use more yellow energy. My favorites are bright & sparkly lavendar, green, and orange. No red please. Gem caves & dragonfly ponds. Small Natural objects embodying deities.
