a collection a day book




I love it when two of your favourite things come together to make one mind-blowingly amazing thing. Like chocolate-covered Oreos. Or chocolate-covered cranberries.
Ok, so maybe these are not great examples, but a collaboration that definitely is a great example is the coming-together of Uppercase publishing house and Lisa Congdon's A Collection A Day project. I followed Lisa's daily record of objects that she has collected and beautifully photographed for her blog with sheer delight. I am immensely happy about collecting things and it was a joy to see careful arrangements of matchboxes, luggage tags, vintage thread and clothes pegs.


Sadly, the project is now over but - fear not! Uppercase has saved the day! They are going to publish a book of the entire project, in chronological order with added typography and a collector's tin. WOO-HOO!


It will be published this spring, but you can pre-order it here, now.
