Today’s Book Club Monday choice is The Lonely House: A Biography of Emily Dickinson.  I recently saw the independent biopic A Quiet Passion about the life of this American Poet.  The movie was based upon this book, among others.  Emily Dickinson was fascinating..I love learning more about her, her life and her writings. The book goes like this: 

During her lifetime, Emily Dickinson did not seek out recognition or attempt to change the world around her, even in the smallest way. A private but not antisocial person, she kept her life’s work, and her innermost feelings, almost entirely to herself. Her life was rich in intellectual pursuits, and she had many friends with whom she exchanged witty and brilliant letters, but she rarely left the town of her birth. From the early 1860s onward, she became essentially a recluse. After her death in 1886, it was only the good judgment of her sister Lavinia that preserved the more than 1,700 poems Dickinson had secretly produced. Her poetry was so intensely individual that it immediately captivated a national audience. More than a century later, her special genius continues to surprise readers young and old.

I love this week’s house on Weekend Real Estate Stalking.  It is a real charmer in Bronxville.  It reminds me something out of Mad Men.  I can totally see Don and Betty roaming the halls.  Lucky for us there is a open house tomorrow.  For more information, contact Leslie Corcoran.

Today’s Fashionable Friend Friday is new SPONSOR Jennifer Howard of JWH Design and Cabinetry.  Jen has been on my radar for a while since she designed a friend’s kitchen years ago.  I was so impressed with her work and how incredible the outcome was.  Since then I have been following her and so admire her talent in every project.  Most recently Jen has been chosen to design House Beautiful’s Kitchen of the Year in San Francisco!!!!!!!  And, just last week, the JWH team won a Design award from Westchester Magazine, for the Best Use of a Small Space.  Please check out more of Jen’s work and if you are in need of a remodel, visit the JWH website HERE.

Now that Spring is in full force and after school activities are at an all time high, I thought I would share with you a quick, easy crock pot chicken recipe.  I just made this last week and it was a hit.  I served it with rice and veggies and everyone asked for seconds.  I really love my crock pot.  It is a super easy way to get dinner on the table!  Bon Appetit!!!!
