Lisa Congdon is an illustrator and fine artist based in San Francisco and a prolific collector of old and unusual things. In 2010 she chronicled all of her collections in a blog called A Collection a Day, and we loved the unusual groups of objects she either arranged or illustrated. She has an amazing eye for colour and texture and manages to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Lisa now has a lovely website and Etsy shop featuring her work, as well as a book which feature images of her daily collections and photos of Lisa's home and studio in San Francisco.
Going to check her website out right now – I do like a collection (hence the globes!)
