unpacked the car the following evening I realised that the broach I had worn on my jacket was damaged. I have recently inherited the jewellery from my late mother. Everyone looked throughout their bags, the road and the car but there was no amythyst to be seen. I was very sad and cross with myself. The sad bit was it was my mothers birthday and I had never worn this jewellery before.
Yesterday there was a phone call from my older daughter saying 'mum you will never guess what I have found in one of Twm's bags' YES she had found the missing piece. Now it is all in a safe place waiting for me to find a jeweller who can mend the broach.
So... for all those of you who loose things that are precious - they do turn up in the most unlikely places. And I am very happy. Thanks for reading

It's wonderful you got your Mother's brooch back. Be sure and have the jeweler add a safety clasp.

I am so Happy for you. What a wonderful phone call. I am sure that someone was looking over your shoulder that day. I understand how you felt. About 2 years after we were married I lost my diamond engagement ring I was just beside my self. It was my mother in laws. So we traced all my steps and finally found it in the pillow case. I had been doing laundry and my ring was loose around my finger and it slid off when I put on the pillowcase.

Caroline, so happy that you found the amythyst - that is my and my Mother's birthday stone - I would have been lost thinking of losing it - like you were - so happy to know - that perhaps your Mom was looking down and wanted to be part of the get together and linger on with Twm for a bit and went home in his bag. So happy to hear - that you will going to the jeweller soon, too.

Caroline, Lucky lucky lucky you! It was meant to be especially something so precious to you. except maybe the time spent looking is that is the worst. Then you resign yourself that it is gone forever.. Then woo hoo you find it...that feeling is the best...Sally

Dear Carolin,
I am so thrilled for you that you found it. I had a beautiful bracelet that the children gave me for my 50th and it was stolen - and it's a dreadful feeling knowing that you will not get something back that you loved so much.
I'm so happy that you have found the Amethyst - they're a beautiful stone. Love Chris

My nana always told me when you lose something do not look for it.
If its meant to be it will find its way back to you :-)
My nana has recently gave me a diamond pendant but made me promise to wear it..
If I inteneded to keep it in a box then I cant have it
she says the value will be its memory which scares me even more.. she says it was meant to be worn and not hidden
Big hugs from London
