Black Friday Promo – Love Canvas?

admin — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:28:47 +0000

Yes, Black Friday, aka the day after Thanksgiving. Take a few moments out of your shopping sprees to grab this one while it lasts!

I won’t go into details, but it involves canvases and discount prints. Why the secrecy? Because on Thanksgiving, this sale is open only to users of my new iPhone app, iLauri. On Saturday, I’ll post it here if any availability remains.

So let me introduce my new iPhone app! It’s called iLauri, and it’s available in the app store for free! If you love to look at photography, you can see a photo-of-the-day displayed on your iPhone, whenever you want. One tap keeps you informed of any events or iPhone-only specials. So go now to the app store in iTunes, and download iLauri! Did I mention it’s free? Once you have it, tap on “specials” for details on the Black Friday sale.

In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Mom’s recipe contest

admin — Sat, 02 May 2009 20:13:45 +0000

We all have our favorite recipes Mom always made…what’s yours? Share it here and it could win you a prize! As we prepare for Mother’s Day, thinking about my mom brings back memories about all the little things she did for me, and still does. Food has to be in there, after all, she spent countless hours planning meals, shopping for meals, and cooking meals. My mom’s a great cook who makes dishes that could be in Bon Apettit, but the basic dishes from my childhood stand out in my memories. I remember the ultra-moist chocolate cake she used to make for picnics, her meatloaf, and the enchiladas she’d have us help her assemble. I still love my mom’s tuna casserole, believe it or not!

So here’s the contest: email your favorite recipe from Mom, to me at info@lauribakerphotography.com. I’ll post them here (hint: the shorter the better!) On Thursday, voting will begin and the winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to THE WHITE RABBIT, an adorable shop on Manchester full of unique gifts. Vintage items and new, home decor, furniture, jewelry, and even a baby department. I fell in love with vases that look like old mercury glass, an incredible twig rabbit, and their supersoft baby blankets. Everywhere you look, there’s a creative display and great finds. The owners, mother and daughter Angie and Lindsay, really have an eye for design. This next weekend, they’re having a MOTHER’S DAY SALE. On Saturday I’ll be in the store, giving away $100 print credits to everyone making a store purchase of at least $50. Join us!

chewy. gooey. goodness. in kirkwood, MO

Oh my! That was delicious! I had a little sweet tooth yesterday on my way home, and so I stopped at Kaldi’s and had one of their “Chewy Caramal Bars” …after a heart-healthy lunch of course…LOL! I couldn’t eat it all, so I brought it home. It was sheer delight this morning when I went into the kitchen and remembered that I had this delectable treat waiting for me! And today it was even better for some reason. They’re like a gourmet version of a gooey butter cake, with carmelized edges. You might think pairing it with their Highlander Grogg coffee, with the scent of maple syrup, would be overkill, but it was wonderful. I really need to post a photo of one of these, but it’s gone for now. Next time. Anyway, go get one! Kaldi’s Coffeehouse
