I found a shiny bracelet.
After Christmas, when I was folding up gift bags and throwing away tissue paper, I found a nice piece of costume jewelry tangled in some of the tissue. My first thought was that it might be a gift that I had overlooked. My second thought was that it might have fallen off the wrist of Isabella's mom while she was wrapping. I put it on a shelf and intended to call later that night.
Instead, that night was taken up with Annie's adventures in surgery. Let us say I was distracted. The bracelet left my mind.
Last night, my son called me. I remembered about the bracelet and told him I had it. He nearly screamed over the phone.
Turns out that the bracelet was lost by Isabella's other grandmother. It was not a lovely piece of costume jewelry. It is a diamond bracelet -- with a lot of diamonds. She is very happy today.

I like happy endings and very glad you found it and it dint get thrown away with all the tissue and wrapping paper.
I watch very carefully now especially with the new gift cards that look like a credit card. We almost threw away two $200 American Eagle cards last Christmas. We missed them and started looking through the wrapping paper and tissue and found them.

After Thanksgiving I found a pair of glasses at the base of a pretty mum plant I was given by my step-mother. The plant had started to fade and the leaves drooped and then the glasses could be seen in the plant.
Turns out they were my step mothers and she had no idea where they had gotten to.
Okay, not a diamond bracelet, but still......

No, but this story is more humorous. "Where shall I set down my glasses? How about over here in this potted plant?"christie1111 wrote:After Thanksgiving I found a pair of glasses at the base of a pretty mum plant I was given by my step-mother.

What she thinks happened is that she was leaning over the plants trying to decide which one to take and the glassed slipped of her shirt. Good thing she picked up the right pot!MarleysGh0st wrote:No, but this story is more humorous. "Where shall I set down my glasses?
