pretty rings, an award, and a poll*

* as straight-forward as a title gets

Remember those cool handscape rings I posted a little while ago? Well I found some similar kind of upright/silhouette type of rings on Etsy. They're made from acrylic, and way more affordable. I love the clever whimsical designs! My favourite is either the bird or the spectacles. See the shop links under the images.

I was given this wonderful award from Rebecca, Gabbi and Diana

About the Award: "These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbon of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

I'm going to pass this award to:
Diana, Rebecca, Ana B, Gabbi, Maçã, Laura, Emily, Ariella
... and yes, I know many of these lovely ladies have received this award already (some of them gave it to me in the first place!), but it is well-deserved. What goes around comes around!

♥♥♥

I've been feeling a bit stuck and uninspired for new blog posts lately. In a way, I worry if my blog is lacking in direction. It's not really a fashion, photography, personal, craft, or {insert category here} blog ... it's like a whole mix of everything - including all {pretty things} in between. Not that I don't love posting about all of these, but sometimes the wide range of subjects can make it tricky when I want to narrow it down to one thing. Does that make sense?
So here's the thing... I want to hear from YOU (let's see if this blog poll works). You can select multiple answers if you wish.
What do you want to see more of in this blog?
Etsy finds (like this post)
outfit posts
photography
fashion editorials
my own craft or artwork
giveaways
mail swap hosting
thrifting finds
other (please comment)
pollcode.com free polls

Do any of these appeal more to you than others? Feel free to elaborate in the comments. I'd really love to know. After all, I wouldn't be blogging and enjoying it as much as I do if it wasn't for you guys!

♥♥♥

P.S. Don't mind the changing layout. I'm playing around with a little blog make-over, and have yet to make up my mind.

Love those rings, tempted to buy one! I voted for just about every option! Haha, I love your blog, it's a must read every day! x

young said...

I voted for lots of things, too!
And I fell in love with the handscape rings you posted earlier, and I think these might be even cuter!

Rebecca said...

Oh, I love that mustache ring!!! :D Thank you for passing the award back to me! It is tough not to just hand these things back and forth, isn't it?

Great poll! I picked a lot of options.. :)

Emily said...

Thank you for the award, sweet Anna! :) I'll give it some thought and pass it along soon.

These acrylic upright rings are adorable, especially the little spectacles.

I know this doesn't help, but I love everything you post about! I might just have to select each box in your poll ;)

Happy weekend! ♥

Gabbi said...

Pretty rings, little red bird is adorable!

Also, I really liked your poll! I voted and loved seeing the results. So helpful to me too... been feeling sort of stuck and uninspired lately also, and when it comes to my posts I often wonder if what I put up is only interesting to me? But I love your blog, I would actually say to just keep doing what you do. It's always interesting and full of visual gems. Your blog is very much a favorite of mine.

Also Also, thank you for awarding me!!! I felt really happy seeing my name there... xo

Ariella said...

Thank you so much for the award, dear! It's so cute :)

Those rings are incredibly quirky - I quite like them!

Actually, one of the things I like so much about your blog is that it's varied - you just don't limit yourself to one topic. I voted for swap hosting though, since I especially enjoyed the posts you did on those!

aku juga merasakan hal yang sama, padahal menurutku blog anna udah 100x lbh bagus dari punyaku.
tau gak, yang bikin aku balik terus ke sini justru karena isinya yang beragam lho :)
