Yesterday, I received my package from Everyday Occasions, a blog and shop created by the lovely and oh so talented Jenny Steffens Hobick. One of the items in my package was the beautifully rustic apple basket pictured above, The moment I saw it I was inspired. I also knew it would make a lovely prop for a photograph, so I thought of a dessert that would look lovely alongside the basket. Isn't it funny how something so simple can inspire something wonderful? Enjoy, and have a wonderful afternoon.
