Shalom and Greetings from what is a freezing and dust stormed Jerusalem!
Many of us walking the Camino have collected a rather alarming amount of flotsam and jetsam, souvenirs, memorabilia, irreplaceable important personal objects, Compostela(s) as well as - and – well – ah - junk. Some of us have arranged these many objects on a shelf, a wall, a window as a reminder of past events and glory and as a impetus for future assaults on Santiago. I modestly offer my own wall as an opening round and hope that many others will add their own collection.

Our mementoes are spread around the house and mixed in with other trip ones too. Plus we have a still-frameless picture painted by a special forum member (who can reveal their identity if they wish!) which sits above our local map on which we mark off hikes we've done. Additionally, we have a whole shelf full of trip journals, credentials and compostelas!

Momentos from my 2015 "Half-Way" and other travels. Heading back to the CF in April so will be adding to this collection.

When you come in our house this is what you see.
Wish everybody well, Peter.

Sweet!

@scruffy1 I particularly like the bottles but wonder at your energy in lugging them all the way home!

 

[Kiwi-family]

But wait, there's more.....

I am just in the process of doing mine Scruffy. I love your display. My first priority was getting DVDs of my Camino walk made for my family's Christmas stockings.

This is the bit of wall where mine is going to go, does that count?

Welcome Steve, I see you're going in Sept. It's a wonderful time of year. My CF was Sept/Oct 2015 and it could not have been better. Of course there are never guarantees with weather but I think you'll find it very doable and less crowded. Wish you Buen Camino

Cheers Maggie for your kind words. It's one of the things I love about this forum. Must admit I can't wait.
Funny thing is I was already planning on where I could hang my compostella and passport months ago when I first booked my time off work.
Regards
Steve.

And when you begin the hanging, you get to live it all over again. You'll never be quite the same. BTW I'm partial to the name Steve; it's my son's name.

I don't think I was ever the same to begin with to tell the truth. .
Stephen = Son of kings. Your obviously a lady with great taste.

My credenciales and Compostellas and associated tcha-kas are rolled up and buried somewhere in a storage unit in Colorado... I think...

My favourite memorabilia of my walking buddy disappearing into the distance while I stopped to take the photo. Above the fireplace so I am constantly reminded of where I would rather be!

No, you are not.
Wish you well, Peter.

What a lovely post. I love to see what you guys have done.
Buen Camino to all of you.

This thread makes me very happy. Time to start my own "board".

It's all Scruffy's fault ... I'm well into working on my first one, with hopes of more to come.

What a great photo. Could be used for an advert for the camino.

Thanks Steve. Nice to receive a compliment. Just a point and shoot with my phone. Most of my photos are not much cop. When I chose that one for the wall as it was toss up between that and another as they were the only two that seemed to highlight the long, sometimes seemingly endless road! I put the other here you to decide if I chose the right one.

You definitely picked the right one.
It tells story. I'm no expert but it has depth with the trail disappearing off into the horizon, action with the pilgrims walking away from the camera and foreground interest with the yellow arrow way marker. Like I said, great photo.

Excellent posts!

Here's the corner of the shelf in my office:

Simple. Just my credential, a map I picked up towards the end, my shell, my compostella, and a lino-block I cut for some prints after I returned home.

Lovely

It's lovely jrm. I see that you kept your certificate container, as did I. (perhaps it's still in there?) Too nice to toss…...

 

[jrm]

Thanks! Yep, the compostella is still in there. Maybe one day it'll be framed up on the wall.
