The story does make me love social media, though. Iâve seen several examples over the past couple of years, of valuable items, said to be lost, being found once somebody made it their business to really really look for them.
By the way, my first job was in a dry cleaners. We did take care, but even so, if items disappeared it was usually because the hanger had gotten mixed up with another customerâs order, and so was taken out of the store. So, there really wasnât much point in looking in the store for it. I wonder if that was the attitude held by the first people to search for it. If they were thinking ânah, itâs not hereâ theyâre not going to find it. And when I read the article, it seemed to me the owner might have put the dress aside, as a special item, and thatâs why it was overlooked. A couple of years ago my sister-in-law gave me my motherâs wedding dress. She had had it smashed up in a bag for 30 years since Mom died. Then she took it to be cleaned and pressed - the cleaner said he spent a month just looking at it, wondering how to go about cleaning it, before the deadline loomed and he went ahead and did his best. I bet the cleaner did something like that in this case, too. Glad to hear sheâs going to a specialist with it now.

The real story is that it lay on the floor of an abandoned building where it was mistaken for detritus. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
