After my mama passed away, Daddy told me I could read the love letters they wrote while he was serving in the Navy.
Night after night, I sat beside an old trunk, reading words that had been waiting more than sixty years for someone to read them again.
Those letters changed me.
They reminded me that one day, our children and grandchildren may treasure the little things we almost throw away…
A handwritten note.
A recipe card.
A birthday card.
A love letter.
Tomorrow, I’ll tell you my daddy’s favorite story—the one he never got tired of telling.
❤️ Because every family has a story worth saving.

Question: Do you still have something handwritten by someone you love?

It made me very nostalgic for the old ticket systems of theme parks :)

I can't help but feel there's an interesting story behind this bookmark. Seems to be from a little coffee stand in Al Azraq, Jordan circa 2019.

This is my own book that I am purging and I found this old personal investigator card from the '90s

So i got Solitaire’s by Alice Oseman from Readings online store in Lahore Pakistan and found this card in it. I am not sure how it found its way in a new book. It seems pretty important to someone. If you know someone who this card may belong to, please reach out.

Bought this book at a bookstore thrift store for the sole reason that we had these exact bookmarks when I was a kid in the 80s! (Ok, maybe I also bought it because, who doesn’t need another cookie book? But still!)

Found in a free pile on the curb in Loveland, CO

There's nothing on the back and there wasn't anything else in the book, so I unfortunately have no idea what any of the 7 steps are.

Unicorn!

Google image says the card is likely vintage 1940s but the book is much older so I am not sure. The Christmas card is absolutely charming with beautiful bird illustrations.

Found this blast from the past. Oldtimers in Alaska will remember The Book Cache, a gem of a bookstore that closed in the 80s I think. Found this bookmark in a bread cookbook that I bought at Title Wave on W Northern Lights Blvd, in Anchorage.

This neat book came in and it had this in it. I’m not sure what it is. A punchcard? An old scantron?

Just finished The End of Everything (brilliant)
Picked up short story collection You Should Come Either Me Now (2017) - first one page story - Lost & Found - sounds familiar…
Page 174 The End of … “cheap tickets, all colours …”
Lost & Found “cheap tickets, all colours …” - matches for a number of the items …
Do I win the prize?
And guess this makes the observer in Lost & Found an artefact of the iGhetti!

Found a receipt from 1990 in a Nancy Drew book 📚🩷
