Picnic Smores

I am a little out of sync this week..I am giving you this week’s recipe a little early, in case you want to make it for your 4th of July celebrations.  This dessert is so easy to make and everyone loves it.   It was recommended to me, by a very loyal reader, to try adding nuts for some additional crunch!!!  Thank You Susan H!!!!!  Good idea.  We will try that next time!!!  Bon Appetit!!!!

Book Club Monday

posted on : July 2, 2019 posted by : nicolesteinthal 0 Comment

The weeks are flying.  I feel like I just did a book club Monday post!!!!!   A couple of weeks ago, I was in Diane’s Books in Greenwich, Ct.  If you have not been, you have to go..its amazing…they have everything, book reviews, employee recommendations, best seller summaries and so much more.  As I was buying a book for my mom, I saw Finding Mrs. Ford by Deborah Royce out of the corner of my eye.  It came highly recommended from the ladies of Diane’s.  I just started it…here is the story:


Mrs. Ford leads a privileged life. From her Blenheim spaniels to her cottage on the coast of Watch Hill, Rhode Island, she carefully curates her world. Hair in place, house in place, life in place, Susan Ford keeps it under control.


Early one morning in the summer of 2014, the past pays a call to collect. The FBI arrives to question her about a man from Iraq—a Chaldean Christian from Mosul—where ISIS has just seized control. Sammy Fakhouri, they say, is his name and they have taken him into custody, picked up on his way to her house.


Back in the summer of 1979, on the outskirts of a declining Detroit, college coed Susan meets charismatic and reckless Annie. They are an unlikely pair of friends but they each see something in the other—something they’d like to possess. Studious Susan is a moth to the flame that is Annie. Yet, it is dazzling Annie who senses that Susan will be the one who makes it out of Detroit.


Together, the girls navigate the minefields of a down-market disco where they work their summer jobs. It’s a world filled with pretty girls and powerful men, some of whom—like Sammy Fakhouri—happen to be Iraqi Chaldeans.


What happened in that summer of 1979 when Susan and Annie met? Why is Sammy looking for Susan all these years later? And why is Mrs. Ford lying?

I love 4th of July….its such a fun holiday.  Everyone really gets into the Red White and Blue.  Here are some of my favorite fashion picks for you to watch the fireworks.  I really cannot decide which I love the most….It might be the blue tunic.  I know its a splurge but I cannot help but think that it would look amazing with white jeans….

Home Goods Round Up!!!

posted on : June 27, 2019 posted by : nicolesteinthal 1 Comment
We had our first beach picnic night of summer last night and I realized that I needed a few things.  I went to the Port Chester Home Goods, just in time to bring you a new Round Up!!!!  They still have a great selection of outdoor furniture.  I was so impressed.  Here were some of my favorite things from this trip!!!  Everything was in the store yesterday late afternoon!!!


OK, this garden stool is perfect!!!!  Love the caning look…Hmmmmm why didn’t I leave with this?
I was so intrigued by this lantern, it is solar operated.  I guess it charges all day and then activates a dusk…SOOO COOL…why didn’t I get this either….

These planters are so chic!!

Is anyone having a 4th of July BBQ??? You need this set of glasses!!!  They are so retro looking…LOVE

The selection of coffee table books was really outstanding!


Just a reminder, Christmas is 6 months from yesterday…these UGG blankets make the BEST gift…hurry there were only a few left!!!!

The round chair look is still going strong!!!!

This hose and storage container is brilliant…I hate having a host always lying around!

Such a great chair..I love the print and color!!!

These storage boxes are right out of the Beverly Hills Hotel!!  Love the palm print!!!

 This lantern is sooo tall…it’s so hard to find this size.  It would look amazing on a front porch or step!!

Dying over this Malachite box with gold accents…this would look fab anywhere!!!
When my son moved into his college apt, we searched for a huge bean bag for the common room…this is exactly the same look for 1/3 of the price!!!!  Hurry there were only 2.
