What a great question. I love your momentos Clarity.
Courtney is such a cool and talented guy.....most of my favorite momentos are connected to a special person or a gift from someone special.
My apt is filled with JA things in every room but some of the special pieces are a handmade basket, large carved bowl, huge shell.....all birthday gifts. My Karl Ricketts paintings are very special to me also.
I have the same carved doctor bird as you Clarity (lol) it sits pon my microwave in the kitchen (not sure why I picked that location).
If I have to pick my very favorite though its my big dried ponciana tree seed pod (also a gift).
