My letter B had to be bears, someone very important in my life has the nickname Bear, Mr Bear or Daddy bear. Often when he travels abrod he brings me back bear ornaments or soft toys. These two live under my television.
For my J I chose jewellerry, I don't have many pieces but the few I have I like to displauy around the house over various ornaments rather than keep them locked away in boxes.
I like this way too. I have done it before with some Lemurs up a tall tree at the wildlife park I visited often. It really looked good as the masks were a bit offset and it followed the not straight tree so fittingly. I have forgotten about this technique though, so I'm happy you brought it up.
