Bee's Knees

Grab your flip flops and a glass of iced tea and walk with me through the beautiful

back yard garden of my friends

Jody and Sheila, the owners of Shabby Stuff.  

When Jody isn't out hunting for the perfect

chippy, rusty piece to sell in his shop, he is at home creating outdoor

spaces for Sheila and guests to daydream in.

This is a "fence" Jody created to look like a building.

All over the property you will find "old" buildings made from recycled

barn wood, windows, or tools. Within those "walls" he has berries, a vegetable garden,

and a wood pile just waiting to be discovered.

Look at this colorful bottle tower Jody created.

On a sunny day the glass sparkles like jewels in the sky.

This birdhouse is perched just inside a secret garden. There is a surprise

around each corner of their yard!

No matter what the season, you will find fresh flowers to enjoy.

The bees are pretty happy buzzing around here too!

Old sinks, wheelbarrows, shoes and pots become wonderful places 

for these hen & chicks.

 

This cheerful chair faces a stone outdoor fireplace Jody built by hand

for outdoor S'mores parties and toasty toes on those

cool Whidbey Island evenings!

In this corner there is a waterfall and pond created with an old sink, pots

and buckets.  The sound of the running water is so soothing.

This garden "bed" is full of roses and a tomato plant. No place to nap there.

Shabby Stuff is located inside Island Paint & Glass

in Oak Harbor, WA

You can also find them on facebook here.

And if you enjoyed the character & love outside... you should know

that it overflows to the inside as well.

Inside their home and their hearts!

Thank you Jody and Sheila for sharing your talent with us!
