from Clearing Clutter for Good Feng Shui:
It is perfectly acceptable to keep some possessions that remind you of happy times, provided that when you look at them, you are filled with love. But if you have too many, your energies will be linked too strongly to your past, preventing new things from entering your life. Giving away or throwing out items that you strongly identify with can prove very painful emotionally, because it is like parting with a bit of yourself. However, the truth is that once you have relinquished some possessions, you often don’t miss them at all. Also, if you give them to someone who will love them just as much as you did, you will feel good about it. (I'm hearing that Dangerfield 'take my wife . . please!' joke right there in my head, how about you?)
