Memories
Memories are collectable images and messages which can be found throughout The Valley. They commonly appear as a small scrap of paper on the ground, and after interacting with them they'll turn into a large golden orb. Picking up the orb will unlock the corresponding memory in the Collections tab.
Memory Frame
After completing a memory a decorative Memory Frame will be unlocked which can be placed as placeable furniture inside the player's house. Interacting with this frame once it's been placed will toggle between all completed memory images displayed inside the frame.

On the ground, near the pond next to Goofy's Stall. |
