With help from a shelf full of collectibles that I keep here in our office (and a commute where I walk through the Olympic Village), I'm reminded every single day of Vancouver 2010 and the magical times we had in our city around the Games. While many of us collected a bunch of interesting knick-knacks, what we collectively got ahold of were memories of a time that will never be replicated. I hold on to the physical objects as reminders of those memories I can't put in my hand and this rare, white, Quatchi Figurine below is close to my most treasured.
Leading up to the Sochi Winter Games I'd love to share your collectibles that you kept from the the Vancouver Olympics along with your thoughts. Show me your volunteer jackets, your plushies, your pins, your ticket stubs and all the rest. Send photos of them to [email protected] along with what they mean to you and I'll do my best to publish them here on the blog as we get ready to cheer for Team Canada who will likely be bringing home a whole lot o' gold.
