Foo Dog Regrets

<div style="text-align: center;">Usually, I try to live my life with the motto 'No Regrets'.<br />Today, however, I can't help but feeling like a complete regretful foo....l!<br /><br />You see, when I was in Florida the other week we went to a big antique and flea market and I found the most incredible, large scale, turquoise foo dog pair. They instantly reminded me of Jen's in this bookshelf styling:<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfkq6nCM3DFx1uvJQDa4TTLDM2T3vXvyftdX0NxXi79y7Q8Ekz7ycmwXVj98N5Azm1Zk7aZ4X_3aAtak5gzxldX9bq17DqoQ2p5DDOP0kGFq-xkA3r5EbADJq9k_CpnWt4910sgd4_Wdd-/s1600/jen's+foo+dogs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfkq6nCM3DFx1uvJQDa4TTLDM2T3vXvyftdX0NxXi79y7Q8Ekz7ycmwXVj98N5Azm1Zk7aZ4X_3aAtak5gzxldX9bq17DqoQ2p5DDOP0kGFq-xkA3r5EbADJq9k_CpnWt4910sgd4_Wdd-/s1600/jen's+foo+dogs.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://madebygirl.blogspot.ca/2008/04/glimpse-into-my-home.html">via Made By Girl</a></td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table> And Naomi's in her old loft:<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgOTC8wqLqdCAH8wjwpgSlan7fqocJ-Gpp_MyND_OA7Abdj0e5_OFX9HftSI4QAHbCLRgmkpYVrksm44W7RkRKZ1dEHT-pIKMFufrDrZB8PW0HW8MnzeDgh0t-nmPscLCpHc8GcXw48W-_/s1600/naomi's+foo+dogs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgOTC8wqLqdCAH8wjwpgSlan7fqocJ-Gpp_MyND_OA7Abdj0e5_OFX9HftSI4QAHbCLRgmkpYVrksm44W7RkRKZ1dEHT-pIKMFufrDrZB8PW0HW8MnzeDgh0t-nmPscLCpHc8GcXw48W-_/s1600/naomi's+foo+dogs.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://designmanifest.blogspot.ca/p/naomis-home.html">via Design Manifest</a></td></tr></tbody></table>Ahhhh! How good are they? I could cry.<br />Alright..back to my story.<br />I looked at the price tag and they were $60 for the pair. But the booth was having a take 20% off everything sale, bringing them down to $48. I love that flea markets have no tax and I bet I could have bargained them down a couple dollars more!<br /><br />But, for some reason...I left them.<br />I think it was partially that I didn't know how much foo dogs were worth (which, by the way, turns out is alot more than 48 dollars...I should have known!)<br />and partially because I was trying to spend wisely and save while on vacation (and I really don't have a spot for these).<br /><br />Either way...I REGRET my decision, big time. If Florida wasn't a 24 hour drive away I'd race back there right now! Instead, those foo dogs will haunt me for the rest of my life. Seriously..I may never get over this.<br /><br />Have any of you ever left behind an item you wished you hadn't? <br /><a href="http://s1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh609/tiffanyleighinteriordesign/?action=view&current=Tiffany-27.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh609/tiffanyleighinteriordesign/Tiffany-27.jpg" /></a></div>
