Just how much does Michelle Branch love pie? “I was thinking of tattooing the crust recipe on my arm,” she laughs. This treat is a combo of a Gourmet crust recipe and a filling from New York City’s Buttercup Bake Shop , which Michelle whips up with the help of daughter Owen Isabelle , 4, sometimes tweaking the taste with different fruit butters (a purple sweet-potato butter will turn the filling pink!).

Wall decor is a necessity in making a house a home. Lately, for some reason, I’ve visited plenty of homes where their owners are very sparse in the “art” department, some people never add photos or decor to their walls, NOTHING, just plain white walls! That would drive me insane! I’m an advocate of…not clutter per say…but of keeping variety alive amongst the art work in your home; this meaning personal pieces {photos of family and friends or handmade art by your children}, vintage or classic pieces {antiques or treasures passed down}, modern must haves {mirrors, wine racks, Pier One specials}, and than of course, those unique pieces that bring it all together. Those are what I have for you today! And we’re not talking hundreds of dollars spent on one of a kind art pieces, we’re talking distinctive art, at affordable prices! Fresh Snapped Photos on Etsy offers brilliant, unique “photos” for you to display around your home or office, perfect for redecorating an entire room or for that last piece, for the final perfect touch added to any space!

Meet the photographer Lori, the “artist” behind Fresh Snapped Photos {you’ll also find her and more of her masterpieces on her blog Paisley Wallpaper , at Marzipan Inc. , and Fin-Roe }; she’s a busy little bee sharing her creations with the world along with her husband Chris, can you blame them for having 3 fabulous companies offering superb quality products…NOT AT ALL, I don’t know about you but I want to see more from Lori!
