Buongiorno Amici!
Questo mercoledì profuma di bellezza grazie alla fantastica presenza di Vivienne Strauss!
I suoi interventi mi mettono un tale buonumore che si potrebbero inserire nella ormai lunghissima lista di settimana scorsa, quella contro gli attacchi non preventivati di Mr. Umore Nero.
So che è così anche per voi e così vi lascio in compagnia di un bellissimo post, tutto dedicato alle collezioni!

After conversations with several different people lately about collections I’ve been thinking a lot about what compels people to collect what they do. Most of my own personal collections didn’t really start out as intentional ones. I seem to have not to have just a penchant for old photographs but am specifically drawn to interesting ones that have a specific date written on them so I know the exact day they were taken.
Why? I have no idea really. I also like to collect photos of sailors, here are a few of my favorites.

I also wanted to share a glimpse of others’ collections. These three women are all artists who paint, collage, take photographs or work in all of these mediums and more.  I realized after I started this post, I could have easily done a whole post on any of these talented people.  I hope you enjoy browsing through their collections!

Some collections are impermanent ones like those of Virgin Honey. Many of her collections are things found on beaches or streets.

Crafty Dogma in Australia has too many collections to mention here, I love the look of vintage cameras, they are gorgeous.  Not only does she collect them, she actually uses them.

Some are gathered  and beautifully photographed like those of Bricolage Life!

What do you collect?
