Review Quotes
"Junk Beautiful: She Sheds is a must-read for all women and is signed, sealed, and delivered with a flair that only Sue can provide. Her take on the ever-popular she shed phenomenon hits the nail squarely on its head. Sue assembled a collection of gal pals from across the country who are all unique but share two common threads--the desire for a peaceful getaway of their own and the willingness to share their ideas with others. Like their owners, each backyard retreat is unusual and inspiring. Sue's uncanny and refreshing ability to work well with others and create, enhance, or modify structures to best suit each 'she shedder's' needs is a highlight of this title. Her wicked sense of humor is icing on the cake."
--Jo Packham "Creator/Editor-in-Chief of Where Women Create, Where Women Cook, Where Women Create Work, and What Women Create""Bam! Sue Whitney gets it right again! Junk Beautiful: She Sheds blends the urge to repurpose with the craving for a space of one's own. Discovering Sue's collection of sheds and She Shedders is like taking a vacation--without having to pack a suitcase! Mothers, daughters, sisters--we all need Junk Beautiful: She Sheds!
