collecting

From Lisa Congdon's A Collection a Day
As an avid collector myself - with multiple plastic flat files of ephemera and manila envelopes of everything from sugar packets to pressed flowers hoarded from various travels abroad - when I saw Lisa Congdon's work, it was love at first sight. 

I am sad that I wasn't following her blog during this project, A Collection A Day - it ended in December and featured the following fantastic photos of her equally fantastic and quirky personal collections - and drawings of imagined collections as well.

The book published by UPPERCASE is available for purchase now - as are prints of some of the collections on another favorite site, 20x200.
