{inspired by} collection a day

i wanted to do another post about collections. because of my current photo contest...

click here to find out more and to enter the contest

these photos are not of typical collections, but i love them because they are taking ordinary, simple objects and making them so interesting! the colors & arrangements... i love them. & the cool thing is that these photos are all from a blog called, collection a day, which posts a new collection image everyday! what a fun idea! :) enjoy.

{inspired by} collections + a photo contest!!

i am always inspired by photos of collections! :) there are so many pretty collections out there! i could look at them all day! i have taken many photos of my own collections, like of my stamps, here...
so... all of this thinking about collections gave me an idea!
:)
i have been wanting to try something new on my blog lately...
so, the idea is to have a special themed "show & tell"!
i have seen things like this on other blogs & it's always fun!!
** so, here's the contest**
i would love to see photos of your own collection(s).
arrange your collection in a creative way & take photos. be creative!
& tell us a little bit about your collection.
post the photo(s) to your blog, flickr, whatever...
& share the link with us, in this post's comments!
& as a bonus...
everyone who participates will have a chance to receive a special gift, from me!
(more info on the special gift later...)
i will announce the 5 winners, when the contest is over on October 12th!!
it should be fun... i hope you will join in!

& just to get your creative juices flowing for this contest, here is some beautiful collection inspiration from some of my favorites on flickr... enjoy!
