My friend sent this house to me. It is not too far away in Stamford Ct. The property is picturesque and the house just adorable. What really caught my eye was the decor and use of color. I also love the mixture of modern and more traditional touches. How cool is the original lady portrait in the contemporary great groom?

Today’s Fashionable Friend Friday is Erin Baker of the Emma Westchester blog. I met Erin literally through Instagram. I was totally in awe of her posts of her adorable family and things to do in Westchester. When I finally met her over lunch, she reminded me of Selena Gomez, a Westchester version, of course. We immediately became fast friends. She is constantly emailing tips and letting me know of fun events. I love her even more for that!!!! I also love her adorable style. She is always put together in a cool, fun way. It is so refreshing for an old lady like me!!!!!!! Check out the Emma Westchester blog Here. PS She has a just as fab partner too, but that is for another post!!!!!!!! Bon Weekend!!!

I have noticed that vegetable pasta is the “in” thing. Recently, I saw a menu that offered hearts of palm pasta and zucchini pasta. I have been dying to try the zucchini pasta. I found this recipe and cannot wait to make it……
My youngest daughter has been asking me about creating a book nook in her room. She would like a comfortable space where she can go after her homework is done to relax and read her school and leisure books. She has an awkward closet in her room that we easily turned into the enjoyable reading space she was looking for. This can also be done on in a small corner, or a window seat in any room. Here are some of the items we found. We picked out a bunch of comfy pillows and some decorative objects for the shelves in the closet. Oh, and don’t forget to add a couple of cute lights.
My book club just finished Along the Infinite Sea by Beatriz Williams. Beatriz has quickly become one of my favorite authors. Her stories are so romantic while still remaining to be engrossing historical novels. I get so involved with the stories that I simply cannot put them down. Here is the summary of this book:
Each of the three Schuyler sisters has her own world-class problems, but in the autumn of 1966, Pepper Schuyler’s problems are in a class of their own. When Pepper fixes up a beautiful and rare vintage Mercedes and sells it at auction, she thinks she’s finally found a way to take care of herself and the baby she carries, the result of an affair with a married, legendary politician.
But the car’s new owner turns out to have secrets of her own, and as the glamorous and mysterious Annabelle Dommerich takes pregnant Pepper under her wing, the startling provenance of this car comes to light: a Nazi husband, a Jewish lover, a flight from Europe, and a love so profound it transcends decades. As the many threads of Annabelle’s life from World War II stretch out to entangle Pepper in 1960s America, and the father of her unborn baby tracks her down to a remote town in coastal Georgia, the two women must come together to face down the shadows of their complicated pasts.
