A Collection Of is a special project I am working on with my daughter! There are two parts to it - an online shop that features items made by my daughter and me and hopefully soon an expansion to feature other unique items from kids and adults (If you are interested in participating please visit the website). The second part is our Insta notebook, a collaboration with our friend Gilda Davidian called A Collection Of: People, Places, Things, Animals, Ideas. www.acollectionof.org

Check out our Insta notebook below. And follow us if you want :)
