The local library doesn't open til 10:30am and mum knew that she would be busy at work, so she got up very early and headed to the library. She had made a big note and slid it into the overnight book drop slot that said something like:
Dear Lovely Librarians, yesterday afternoon I dropped some books back yesterday and sadly left my precious bookmark inside. I do hope you are able to find it, and I will drop by after 5pm tonight to see, and will bring sweeties.
So when mum got there tonight, the ladies were pleased to see her, and enjoyed the sweeties that mum left for them and mum was glad to get her treasure back. It is not the expensive things that we treasure most.
What do you treasure?

ReplyDeleteMommy treasures a handprint of the human sisfur when she was just five years old.
Happy Thursday!

ReplyDeleteIt's not things of value that sometimes mean a lot! :0).
That is a very sweet treasure. We are happy that you recovered it!
ReplyDeleteWhat nice ladies but then librarians usually are. So gled you got the bookmark back
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your human got her bookmark back - that was very smart of her to come bearing sweeties! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI treasure my twist ties, and my human hides them in a special place so I never lose them after we play with them!
Awwww... that is so true. Real happiness can not be bought be any amount of money. So glad you were able to get your keepsake back.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day, ladies!
We're glad they kept it for your mum, happy she got it back. We're sure they all appreciated the sweeties too! (We're not sure if "sweeties" means baked goods, candies or chocolate though!)
ReplyDeleteaww so glad they found the bookmark for you. It IS a treasure. A lot of love and work went into making it too.
ReplyDeleteI still have the bookmark my grandma made me and it is one of my prize possessions.
Love Leanne
I would hate to lose something so personal like a bookmark that was a gift. I have a bookmark, just a plastic thing, now chipped and cracked, but I've had it since childhood, and it's kept my place through many a wonderful adventure in reading. I can guess how your mum felt.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful you were able to get your bookmark back!
ReplyDeleteAB Christine keeps a box filled with forgotten bookmarks that she found in library books and donation books. Some day she plans to make a collage with them! I'm glad your mum got her special bookmark back, though. Librarians are pretty awesome, if you ask me--but I'm a little biased!
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful, Poppy! That bookmark surely IS a treasure. :)
