have a cuppa

Last August in one of my “favorite things” posts, I listed the Photojojo lens mug. At the time they were only available in Canon lenses.

But Photojojo recently made my day and surprised me with the new Nikon lens mug. The Nikon mug actually ZOOMS when you twist the grip! As you can see, it makes the perfect hot cocoa container!

So when you have extra Christmas cash lying around, you know you want one!

Thank you, Photojojo!

Priddy awesome

Today is the appetizer to next week’s main course.

That’s the only hint I’m giving, but with that hint (and a heads-up that you’ll be kicking yourself if you don’t check in every. single. day. next week) comes an awesome giveaway from Priddy Creations!

Two lucky Paperie readers will win a camera strap cover from Priddy Creations. (Paperie Boutique already has the straps in our possession so they will ship next week.) All Priddy Creations fabric creations have finished seams, re-enforced stitching and are topstitched where necessary for a lasting item. Camera straps are designed as slipcovers to dress up your existing nylon camera strap. They will fit most existing Canons, Nikons and other SLR camera straps. To ensure the giveaway items will fit your camera, please measure your camera strap. Strap covers are padded and lined for added comfort.

One strap up for grabs is the “Light Pink Brown Damask Camera Strap Slipcover“. (“This removeable camera strap is like a slipcover for your existing camera strap. No need to have multiple straps. Measures approximately 22″ long and 2¼” wide. It has a little extra padding to give your camera strap a more comfy feel.”) The other strap up for grabs is the “City Girl Pink Patchwork Camera Strap Slipcover“. (“This removable camera strap is like a slipcover for your existing camera strap. No need to have multiple straps. This patchwork strap uses fun and vibrant coordinating fabrics from the Park City Girl fabric line. Measures approximately 22″ long and 2¼” wide.”)

So how do you win? It’s simple! There are two different ways to win — each entry requires its own separate comment:

But wait, there’s Moore!

Joshua Smith of Loktah was awesome enough to share this video he shot of the new Kelly Moore bag promo. You know you want to win one now!

So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go enter! (Thanks for sharing Joshua!)

P.S. New Moo.com customers can get 10% off with the code AS3JC3 through June 30th!

tell me Moore, tell me Moore!

Today’s guest post / giveaway is what those of us in the industry refer to as “hitting the jackpot”. Not only is there a Kelly Moore bag up for grabs (yep, you heard that right) – but the lucky winner also gets their choice of a custom Abie Camera Strap (and they haven’t even hit the market yet)!

Kelly Moore bags sell out almost the instant new stock is replenished and it’s no big secret why. They’re a roomy, stylish, and fashionable way to protect your gear. And with the release of Kelly’s new hobo, there are more choices than ever before.

But wait. There’s more! In addition to their choice of camera bag, the winner will also get their choice of custom Abie Camera Strap.

Professional Photographer Magazine recently featured Abie Camera Straps in a web exclusive. Available soon, they will retail for $145.00-175.00.

You can see one on my Nikon above – they are absolutely beautiful, and I love the suede backing. You can even request a custom design for an additional fee that features your own logo.

To win, go to your Facebook and Twitter accounts and post the following:

I need a camera bag from kellymoorebag.com / @kellymooreclark and Abie Camera Strap from @EllenLeRoy at paperieboutique.com by @shutterblog
