a collection a day.

have you heard of this cool new project called a collection a day? i just discovered it this morning, and i am already smitten.

artist and illustrator lisa congdon is documenting her (many) personal collections by showing a photograph of objects on her blog each day of 2010.

what a sweet and simple reminder of the beauty in everyday things.

here are a few of my favorites so far:

    How cool!!! A collection a day...that must force you to get creative after a few weeks...to think up new collections! That's such a neat idea - these photographs look wonderful!

    As a hopeless hoarder, I'm inspired to actually find a use for all my things! Thanks for another beautiful post Nina!

    Those look really nice, I've never heard of that before. As an aside: that'd be awesome to learn Norwegian, so I would what the lyrics to Dimmu Borgir's songs that were written in Norwegian meant, and I could sing along hehe. Reading the English translation isn't the same. Is it a difficult language?
