Souvenirs, anybody?

Did I hear it right that someone collects wine corks? I just came back from Portugal and I have a few of them, ‘coz they drink wine to almost every meal. They’re not as pretty as in the picture in gv blog, but are made of genuine cork (eh, I mean they’re not made of some kind of gum as they are in some wines). So my question is, should I keep them?
No, do NOT keep them. Because if you do, you’ll end up with loads of rubbish in your house, with not much space for any other useful things. My belief is that you should keep your memories in your head, not in your drawers.
It’s me, the collector of wine corks and memories. Zuza, how sweet of you that you remembered that post and brought some corks all the way long. Basia is of course right, clutter is one of the most destructive things in life. Though medically speaking, with every cork saved memories become less cluttered, they say.
