The Garden Shed -Cottage Charm

Last weekend was so hot but I thought before the afternoon sizzle set in I would hit a few garage sales. I do enjoy the ones that are listed out in the country primarily because I like the drive. When I found the address I didn't realize the sale was at a house of someone that I knew. I was thrilled because she has awesome vintage stuff and we have actually traveled together or run into each other at some other sales. She used to live in an historic area in town and everyone admired her beautiful gardens and darling cottage garden shed. Family circumstances resulted in her move to the country a few years ago for more space to care for an elderly parent.

The back story on the garden shed was she saw the picture on the cover of a magazine and she asked a handy carpenter if he could build it just from the picture and he said he could. All I could say was WOW! 

I am so excited to share it the garden shed with you! (In fact, I was so busy snapping pictures that I didn't really shop much). Sadly, her parent has passed and she will be downsizing and moving back into town. She assured me however that the gardening shed will be moving with her!

    This garden shed is so very cute. It is nice that she will be able to move it with her as it would be really hard to leave it behind.

    Stunning shed for sure. It's so terrific that she gets to take the shed with her when she moves. It would be hard to leave behind!

    Oh, the little house is just delightful. There are more and more of these and I think they are the most wonderful trend in gardens for a long time. Thank you for sharing.

    I have grubby old pump house that's not needed, now we have city water...I should get out there with some paint, right?
