Foo Foo Dogs

23 Feb

What seemed like just a big trend when I started reading blogs over three years ago, has remained quite the classic accessory. Foo Dogs, I’m talking about you.

I still keep spotting you guys in current shelter magazines. Looks like you’re keepers.

Here you are in the latest House Beautiful.Perfectly styled.

I like that you come in different colors too.

You really like to stand out.

Apartment Therapy

But sometimes you prefer to remain a little camouflaged.

Back to blue.

Foo Dogs, we heart you.

Happy Thursday!

    I’ve had a set of red ones since 2003. Old boyfriend brought them back for me from his time in China. I guess he was ahead of his time.

    One of my fave Home Goods finds ever is an orange foo that has his hands on a ball. He looks so majestic. Not like he was $8.99 at all!

      I think I know exactly which one you’re talking about. I have that same one. He’s an antique! :)

    I saw some nice ones while antiquing yesterday. Blue still is my classic fave.

    Hey that’s me! ;o)

    I actually sold my foo dogs! I had abandoned the orange look so it wasn’t quite working anymore. Oh well. I’d love the original turquoise or even some white! Ooh maybe mint green?

    Love that top photo – that is a pretty perfect bookshelf!
