I have been haunted mentally by the things of Opshop past that I coulda, shoulda, woulda bought but then didnt. I so hate regrets like that.I must learn to pretend it was either broken or damaged or say It wasnt meant to be mine as I used to do.Do you have those sorts of regrets with things you shoulda, woulda,coulda bought or are you able to move on and not regret at all?
Some regret items this year have been a lovely set of bedside cubpards with basket drawers (seen them sold at big prices since),A gorgeous kitchen cabinet (damn how I need it now!),a really cute ceramic blue and white Owl wall hanger pot plant holder (silly me) a piano stool I saw before I bought my piano and now need one and cant find one and thats just what I have been haunted with mostly lol I think these are times where I am not in quite the right opping mind and am not thinking fowward enough.Its more annoying when you saw them 1st and could have bougt them tho it is upsetting when you see someone else with it too.Anyway enough regrets I muststay happy with the things I did buy and here are some from this week.....
