When I started this thread, I had no idea so many people would take up the challenge. The response has been amazing and your posts creative and varied. Thanks so much.
Here's a link to a site on Flickr that features nothing but still life photography. I have found it very inspirational:

Murtsama - this is so creative. I love your double meaning!

johnhawn - What a beautiful first post. What could be better than curried veggies. One problem. The veggies are too pretty to eat!

WhiskeyPete - Aside from being a good example of DOF, there's just something about the appeal of keys. They seem to ask questions like keys to what? Nice photo.

billmac57 - Oh, please don't let this be your final attempt! Still life just requires a different part of the brain. Photographers are, for the most part, unaccustomed to setting up their shot, aren't they? This is a good photo, especially because it includes objects that serve to remind you of a great trip.
