Hi, Sarah! What a fabulous ending to that story! Here’s the follow-up post from @CeliaBedelia showing her WEARING that sweater! It looks like it was made for her!

Hi, Alicia! I bet that green vase was striking in that sea of blue!

Maybe like my poster, you can find one that’s similar enough to fill the spot for the one you left in the store. If you do, send me a picture of it!

Hi, Sharon! It’s funny how we always think about “the one that got away”, which you probably noticed is a poster hanging on my Manilow wall!

Since you didn’t think you’d wear the coat, you can console yourself with the thought that you saved yourself some cash that you could then spend on tickets for another show!

All the rest of the pottery had been blue – and I still have a lot of that. One store carried an interesting display of the same patterns – but in green. I didn’t buy it then (1975ish), thinking other stores would have green, also, but a bigger selection thereof. Nope.

Your rules are now mine, and I can say I never made that mistake again.

I didn’t buy it … and it haunts me to this day as it was insanely priced at $100 Canadian (from $800ish) so it would have been $50 US (with the exchange at the time). I figured I’d never have a place to wear it, so I didn’t buy it.

Hi, Pearl! That must have been some seahorse! 🙂 I admit that I even looked on Google but didn’t spot a 7-foot seahorse among the 1000s available.

I think you should insist that practical Paul take you back to Destin. Y’all can go on a quest to find another magnificent seahorse and lasso it like you’re in a Texas rodeo!

I love your Geordie quote, especially since you gave the translation! It expresses so much in so few words.

When you find the seahorse of your dreams, send me a picture!

If I’d been in the shop on my own I WOULD have bought the 7’ wooden seahorse in restaurant/gift shop in Destin, Florida many years ago. We’d driven 10 hours there for a vacation from Texas and the car was packed. There’d have been no room to put the seahorse and we couldn’t afford what the store was suggesting to ship it back to our house. I’d still love one and I’ve looked for one ever since.

As to your favourite quote, I have a Geordie version of that from north east England. It’s “shy bairns get nowt”, (quiet children who don’t speak up go without), meaning speak up, otherwise you’ll be left empty handed. Xx
