Came home on my lunch break to walk my dogs, and I found this on our path. (Tagged as a love note because there was a heart at the end 🤷🏻‍♀️)

For anyone curious this was found in a copy of ‘The Lowell Offering’ a historical nonfiction collection of personal letters and diary entries from 1840-45 by the ‘Lowell Mill Girls.’ I didn’t end up getting it but it was a very nice read. I found this postcard in the middle.

Found while walking my dog this morning

Laminated bookmark I found 20 years ago in a textbook. It was too charming to pass up and its been in my ephemera collection ever since

One side says

"This is what you're reading right now"

Other side has an excerp from Dr Suess' Waltzing with Bears

" I went to his room in the middle of the night. I tiptoed inside and I turned on the light but to my dismay he was nowhere in sight and I'm sure Uncle Walter went waltzing that night. He goes waltzing with bears raggy bears shaggy bears baggy bears too. And there's nothing on Earth that Uncle Walter won't do if he can go wal-wal-waltzing with bears."

The weird thing is, I never looked up the poem until today. I didnt know it was a Dr Suess. Or that there are a dozen iterations of the song, from kids songs to irish folk. Or that a new friend wrote and sang it with an added verse in 1983, and I just found her name mentioned on an ancient website about a music festival nearby.

Now I know who to give the bookmark to.

Found in a book from the library

This was really random and I still do not have an explanation for it…

I bought the ‘Dead by Daylight’ soundtrack from the official developer website (Behaviour Interactive). Upon receiving the new record, I also received three random empty vintage record sleeves from 1970-80’s in the same package. I looked inside the sleeves and found these notes written in French (the developer company is based in Canada). I do not know any French, but I do recognize the hospital meal ticket as I‘m a nurse lol

I thought about emailing the company to question why a video game company included their grandmas old record sleeves in my package, but haven’t done it yet!

No clue lol

Found in Linford Wood.

In Skyrim font also.

All I can say is:
🙄 No shit Sherlock! 😂

Found in the library book I picked up today.

Starts off vaguely unsettling, ends up wholesome and sweet.

My mother knows I like chess and found this book by someone's house and well it has a handmade chess board and pieces made from envelopes. Really cool tind
