Shabby Chic Garden - The Cottage Journal

In addition to her garden flowers, she also boasts a collection of found treasures that add to her shabby chic backyard style. “I saw an aqua buggy in a magazine and loved it,” she says. “And then I found this pink one just like it at a flea market for $12.” Her grandchildren made the stepping-stone path leading to the cottage; each child decorated a different stone with imprints and ceramic chips. The fun of the hunt and time with friends selecting items for her yard makes Peggy’s garden a special place for her to welcome the early morning and relax in the late afternoon.
