December News and Events at Elizabeth Galecke Photography!

 

 November has flown by! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I had a sick husband and sick dog, but I still did some serious cooking and made the best of it! I have found a new tradition in my house and feel like I need to share the find! Check out this amazing cake recipe for brown-butter pumpkin layer cake! It was crazy decadent and soooo delicious! The perfect comfort dessert!  http://www.finecooking.com/recipes/brown-butter-pumpkin-layer-cake.aspx

So this weekend I also caught up on a bunch of work! Ted, my husband, and I were accepted into the Rock and Shop Market that will be in Durham next Saturday, Dec.4th, from 12-6. I am so excited! I haven’t done a show like this in about a year- I am really looking forward to it! Ted will be selling his photo frames that he makes out of recycled materials, and I will have photography and my MoodSwing jewelry collaboration.  There will be local food available, great music, and a ton of amazing artists! Perfect for holiday gift giving! Oh and I almost forgot.. Local beer from Fullsteam Brewery. I can’t wait to try the Sweet Potato Amber!  

And speaking of gift giving! We are offering gift certificates again for the holidays and there are some specials if you purchase before December 22! Call soon and we will custom print your gift certificate!

April First Friday in Raleigh,Anniversary Exhibit Update

I am really getting exited for our event a week from this Friday! Working with Epona and Oak on this event has been so great. Not only is their space so peaceful and full of amazing art and jewelry, it has just been awesome to work with Leeann and her sisters, Katie and Cheryl. It makes me, almost… wish I was in business with my two sisters! on second thought…  I don’t know if we could do it. But these three sisters, they do it, and do it with laughter, style and what at least it looks like to me, ease! So, we met yesterday morning to work out the fine details, and there is so much to tell!   Cupcakes are being donated by Sweet T Cakery!  I won’t tell you the flavors, you will just have to come and see, I mean eat for yourself!  But one hint, there are four different flavors, and one is flavored with champagne. We are not only going to toast for these anniversaries, but we are going to eat our champagne!   Next, Dave Hogan will be spinning tunes for the night!  It is going to be old-school for me- reminding me of those parties I used to have back in the day. Oh, I miss those! And, We have sooo many great raffle items. I wanted to thank all of the donors by mentioning their names here and linking their sites. These are almost all women-owned, Raleigh small businesses.  Thank you amazing Raleigh businesses! I am hoping we are going to raise lots of money for our Non-Profits. They need it during these hard times! And what is so great, because we are doing a raffle, anyone can pitch in a few dollars for a great chance at wonderful prizes! Ok, here is the list so far!
