well hello, how are you and how was your weekend? as i welcome you here once again, in the beginning of a new week, i must make a few notes first about me… i have several issues about several things (don’t we all?) and asides from several issues, one of them is the design one. as i may have shared here, i get tired of seasons really fast. for example, i am tired of summer like since august or something! and concerning design the issue remains. i get tired of some things really fast. i don’t even know how the last header lasted for almost 6 months! phew! that was some kind of a record!
but i see this as a learning process. if we are clever minds, we are always learning. we keep our minds open to whatever new might come and embrace it or learn with it! and in this learning process… i learn how to change… i learn how to do things better! and my own taste regarding design changes as well. as i see new things and my own taste gets more refined (or not, some might think!). i know that now i am much more driven to what is simple, than all the fluffy things! so i would like to introduce the new look around here… and also two other things!
#1 i completely forgot the blog’s birthday! well, i thought it was on the 16th… and actually was on the 6th! so…
#2 to celebrate this, i want to give something to a very lucky person… and i want something from you! i need an opinion! i am searching for new things to feature my pictures on and i need your advice… as in customer advice! so the big question is…
>> what would you most likely buy for yourself or as a gift, if you were on a limited budget?
option 1 # pocket mirrors
option 2 # fridge magnets
option 3 # cotton totes
option 4 # badges/magnets
(photos featured on each product are just examples)
i would much appreciate your opinion on this and to give you an extra-motivation to do it… i will offer a {5×7 2012 calendar} to a very lucky reader!
this will last until next sunday (25th september), so i will expect lots of answers from you! all you need to do is…
#1 leave a comment with your option (choose only one)
#2 your mail address
#3 spread the word about it (optional | no extra credits given to this, it is just your free will, which i will thank with my most endearing personality!)
can i count with you on this?

all are so beautiful ! difficult choice. I would love to have them all, but on a little budget I would choose the pocket mirror

Catalina says
and congratulations! love your blog and work
Sanda says
I would choose cotton tote for sure!!!
Inês says
Mesmo com um orçamento apertado, escolheria um dos sacos. Acho que é uma opção que acaba por compensar: fica-se com saco único e original que dura por muito tempo :D

Ana Burmester Baptista says
The cotton tote!! Without a doubt!
Denise says
oooh…I like those fridge magnets. I’m always searching for good ones! :)
Teresa Perdigão says
If the requirment is a low buget state of mind I would say the pocket mirror. I think it’s more useful than the magnet or the badge. However I love the tote bag. Love it.
Traveling Mama says
I would choose the tote. My refrigerator and all of my friends’ are not magnetic and I just don’t carry a pocket mirror, but that is just me! The tote, though, is perfect for groceries and I would love to have one!!
Mafalda Fernandes says
Parabéns pelos dois aninhos :)
Fico dividida entre dois, o tote e os badge/buttons. Pessoalmente escolheria a mala, mas acho que se fosse para oferecer a alguém comprava os badges, pois podia separar os 4 para juntar a outras coisas que quisesse oferecer às pessoas. Confuso? espero que não.
Bjs e boa semana.

yo adoro la idea del espejito! ♥
Feliz aniversario Claudia!
Has trabajado muy lindo estos dos años.
Marta Schmidt says
the cotton tote!
Sofi says
The tote! and if its organic cotton and natural ink better!
loving you new look…
Suzanne says
It’s a tie (50/50) I like the pocket mirror and the magnets.

Veronica says
Love love LOVE the pocket mirror! it’s so simple, yet classy, and totally useful!
Happy 2nd blogosphere birthday! I love your blog!
Ana says
I’m a bag lady!
I don’t need one more but I always buy another. ;)
But if in a budget I would go for the magnet.
Congratulations on your blog birthday.
Nat Bottacin says
Cotton Tote!!! I love them! That is what I´d buy for sure!
Colleen Pusateri says
Congratulations on 2 years!!! I love your photography and blog…but you must know that by now. :)
Okay, my two cents…I love the magnets (option 2). It would be most awesome on a fridge, inside a locker, on the interior dashboard of a car, the cubicles of workstations, and the list goes on! The pocket mirror is beautiful, but I would be afraid of it getting scratched up in my bag, and so it would be on my dresser. SO, the magnet wins. :)
These are a great idea and I hope you end up having these available.
Ciao!!
Zee says
Happy blogiversary!
If I had to pick one, I would pick #1, pocket mirror.
Espero ter ajudado…
karla {tidbits photography} says
#2! a practical and lovely tote :)
Mary says
I would definitely say the Pocket Mirror! Why? 1; it’s within my budget 2. I can enjoy it anytime, anywhere and it would make me smile and add some Poshness to my daily routine 3. I don’t wear jewelry that I buy since I make my own and I don’t wear buttons, really…but they are cute, too. 4. I kinda need a mirror anyway! 5. I think the size and quality would be a great display of your photography work. Sometimes canvas totes leave more to the imagination and take away from the quality and are harder to see. :)) ~MARY
Nicole says
Hello! Nice choices and thanks for the giveaway!
I choose: #3 – The cotton tote!!
Thanks!
raspberry essence says
eu escolheria sem dúvida a mala com uma frase motivadora ou uma imagem inspiradora! apesar de já ter uma, não seria demais. São originais, muito úteis e únicas :) para um fim-de-semana, um passeio pela praia, para a faculdade, enfim para onde a quisermos levar ela “adapta-se” !
Quanto ao teu trabalho de uma forma mais geral pouco tenho a acrescentar a tudo aquilo que já te disse, dá gosto comprar coisas à Cláudia, não só pelo talento dela, mas pela forma super cuidada que tudo chega até nós.
beijinhos, Sílvia
Vanessa Wigston says
I would pick #1 the pocket mirror. I like it because its functional. Although I do love the tote bag also. But out of the 2 I would go for the pocket mirror, partly because it’s so cute :)
Thanks
Vanessa
Ana Almeida says
Para presentear uma amiga nada melhor que um kit “iman+fotografia”! Há sempre espaço para mais um em qualquer frigorifico! Por isso, este ano no Natal as flores da Claudia vao ser perfeitas para acompanhar as fotos de casamento que vou enviar às minhas madrinhas :)
PS: obrigada já tenho prendinhas de Natal! ao pensar na sua pergunta ocorreu…
sofia alves says
Escolheria o #1 pocket mirror pela sua utilidade. Mas o coração vai para o #2 cotton tote e para #3 o magnet :P São lindos;)

ludmi says
Happy blog birthday!!! I would choose the magnet!!
Andreia says
The cotton tote!
Congrats on the blog anniversary!
MissLilly says
I love all of them, but I vote for #3 Cotton Tote, so I could carry the bag with me at all time, to do some nice shopping. Once again congratulations for your birthday. You have been improving so much. It is a pleasure to read your blog and follow your photo works. I’m happy to know that know you are doing something you love!

Ruth Morrison says
I would go for the 4 pack of buttons if I were on a tight budget. Love them all, though. :)
Jimena says
Creo que me quedo con el espejo, aunque me encantaa! el bolso.. pero pensando en el bolsillo ($) me quedo con el espejo!, sí!
::: Un abrazo desde el primer día de primavera aquí en el Sur!
Ana says
Muitos Parabéns pelo 2º Aniversário!
A escolha não é fácil… mas acho que iria para o espelho de bolso.
Mar Fernandez says
Felicidades por el 2o aniversario! Tu blog me encanta! Yo me quedaría con los imanes, me apasionan!
sushi lover says
bom, a peça q gosto mais é o saco de pano! é uma peça bonita e é útil (para mim, pelo menos). mas tb é a mais cara, por isso “on a tight budget” escolhia os badges pq são lindos e baratinhos (e como são quatro ainda dá para oferecer a um amigo e ficar com um tb!)
parabéns pelo bloganiversário!!! you go girl!
Melanie says
Happy Blog Anniversary! I would take #2 the fridge magnets!
T says
the tote is so cute! i would totally buy it!
Helena says
O saco de pano (#3)…para a minha “colecção” ;)

the tote :)
rute says
as malas são lindas, mas se a ideia é escolher algo com um orçamento apertado, acabaria por escolher os espelhos de bolso:)

The option 1 # pocket mirror! Without a doubt!
Ges Rules - Esther says
Hola Claudia! Ya sé que llego tarde, no he visto tu mail hasta ahora. ¡¡Qué bonito es todo, incluso la página y todo lo que haces!!
Me gustan los cuatro, el espejo es precioso, pero me quedaría, pues siempre busco bonitos y no encuentro, con 2 # fridge magnets. Para regalos, para mi madre que le encantan, y para un amigo que es fan de los imanes para el frigo… y para mi. Creo que es un regalo que sirve tanto para chico como para chica. Espero haberte ayudado un poquito.
Un besito muy fuerte!!
