Alicia’s husband looked at her like she had grown a third head when she got excited over this pile of stumps. But Alicia had a vision. And that vision was stump tables. After I saw her stump tables, I got excited too! My dad has all kinds of stumps! I’m sure he’d be happy to give me some, even though the conversation would probably go like this:
me: Dad! Can I have some stumps?! I’m going to make a stump table!
dad: Wuh?
me: TABLES out of the STUMPS! So easy! You take the stumps, paint them, and BAM: stump tables.
dad: So …. you want … to build a table … with the stumps?
me: Nope! No building. Just paint + stump = table. That’s it!
dad: *looking at me like I have grown a third head*
Ah well. I see the vision. Check out more on Alicia’s blog, Thrifty and Chic.
