Love, upcycling stuff?  Author Sue Whitney is a visionary; a truly trashy artist.  I met Sue a year ago at a NYC flea market, and was amazed by her quick and natural ability to perceive new value in old things.

There’s a fine line between art and junk, especially when giving cast-offs and discarded items new life.  But Sue has a special knack for making the distinction. Great photography, accompanied by “how to make it” copy, make her guide to transforming junk into outdoor decor, a real treasure – and especially useful in these tough economic times.

A few personal favs — the Dining Alfresco, Family Camp and Seaside Garden vignettes.  find on sale @ tauntonstore.com
