The oldest thing in the room I'm sitting in is a Kachina Doll my Daddy carved in the 70s. So not being replaced. The second oldest thing in this room is a sort of abstract wooden figure of me when I was pregnant my Daddy also carved in 1979/80. Again, not being replaced ever. The third oldest is a couple of kerosene lamps sitting on the mantle that hubby had before we got together, so I'm guessing they are at least 30 years old. I guess I'd replace them with just a newer model, we use them when the power goes out.
