Easy one for me....6 years ago...Ile sur la Sorgue,France...mother of all flea markets....
a beautiful small tray with a pewter frame and marcasite bottom...the woman wanted about 400 francs (pre Euro)..about 100 dollars...i walked away, thinking she would come down, she didn't and I regret it TO THIS DAY!!!
now, my traveling motto is "See it, buy it, eat it."

The first time I went to Southern Spain I saw a porcelain statue. It wasn't large but I didn't want to lug it home but I really liked it.
The next time I went to Spain (Barcelona), I decided to keep an eye out for one just in case. Thinking if I were meant to have it I'd find it. On the last night we were there, my husband and I had some pesetas left and were decided to splurge on dinner and use them. We rounded a corner and saw a shop with that porcelain and bought a ram. It’s even better than the other one.

I had to buy a few dishes and pots when I lived in England, since all the students at university cooked their own meals. I got what I could at a "seconds" shop. The pots and silverware were nothing special, but I really did love the plate and brought it home. My husband secretly spent hours trying to find more of the pattern on the web one Christmas, with no luck.
so sad. It was really cute!
