Sakura goes to France

I remember learning about a time when the French had a strong interest in the Japanese, and the two cultures shared a lot of goods.   This table, which started like this:

 ended up totally blending the two.  This table has a lot of the French Provincial style, and I didn't even think of the relevance that I was putting a Japanese flower all over it. Ha! What a coincidence.  First, so you know what I'm saying, here are the pictures:

I started out with the intentions to just make a cream white shabby chic table, and just thought it needed something else.  I grabbed some vintage books, and got to cutting. I ended up forming all kinds of "interesting" sentences while I was adhering them, just by reading what was randomly cut out. They surprisingly made sense! haha.  Anyway, it's been fully sealed so the pages are protected, and is up for sale in the shop.
Have a great weekend!
