ZUT ALORS!!!!!!

Can you believe it?  Beckie Farant, the creative genius behind ROADKILL RESCUE is featuring another of my projects.  

If you are new to my blog, then you may have not seen this one:

My Roadside Plank topped Farm Table

The table was already a free to me from a friend who had moved, poor little table was left behind.....It was serving as my outdoor patio table, perfectly happy, but waiting for an upgrade.

One day I received a text from a friend.
 "Big pile of wood planks off Highway 4, on the gravel, room enough to pull over".  

 (I pulled over where the arrow is...)

This is what I found, they were very dirty

After cleaning them up with Mr. Red, my helper, I secured them to the table, cut to size, sealed them with an outdoor poly, and VOILA

We have a gorgeous new Table

There is much more to the story, like the fact I broke the speed limit and then some to get my car pool to dance so I could get back and grab the planks.  I wasn't exactly equipped for the job,  I was in heels and a skirt.  Do I let a nice outfit come between me and some "junque"?  NON!   A nice man pulled over to help me because he thought the boards had fallen out of my car then looked at me like I was crazy when I told him I was picking them up off the highway.  It was quite the process to get them clean, and so much more......To read all the hairy details, click HERE for the original post.
