Lost and Found

A few weeks back I lost one of a lovely pair of earrings that were brought back from Mauritius for me. I was gutted, mostly because I wasn't going to Mauritius any time soon to replace them!!

Anyway, this weekend I changed the bed linen and got out the clean bedding from the time before, put the cover on the quilt, closed the poppers, put the quilt on the bed, decided the far bottom corner needed straightening so flicked the quilt back and there, embedded in the frilly bit was a shiny ring.
On closer inspection, I discovered it was the missing earring, all nice and shiny after going through a thorough washing machine cycle. It had stayed where it was because when I had stripped the bed I had pulled the quilt cover inside out. So now I am going to have to find a way of putting the other one through a washing machine cycle as it is not as shiny as the lost/found one.

Shame really, it would have been nice to have a good reason to go to Mauritius.............

It's a great feeling when you find something you thought was lost isn't it? :)

Do you really need a reason to go to Mauritius? ;)

Sadly, if I wanted to go this year I would have to have a very good excuse as I am off to St Lucia in October for my daughters wedding. That is expensive enough seeing how they have blagged another £400 on top of what anyone else is paying because I happen to be single!! Not complaining though, St Lucia is good enough and after the last October we had, a nice memory for that time a year will be good to have.
