FOUND by Dani in St. Louis, Missouri

A couple years ago, while painting the inside of a closet in her home, my mom’s brush ran into something stuck between the slats in the closet wall… she pulled out a child’s wallet from the 1940′s belongeing to a boy named Ken Bock or Ken Bouk. I did some digging early on to try and locate the wallet’s owner but had no luck. When I moved recently, I found the wallet again and was reminded how fun it’s contents were … so I’m sharing! Included with these cards was also the pieces of a torn up note. From the best I can tell… the note read as follows: (1st writer) “If Harper thinks that (name?) likes her, she has another thing coming. Last Friday at the party, the (?) was doing okay, but he was just out for a good (time?). He said he thinks Harper is a (sloppy? looks?) and has the (big hips?) and all kinds of things. Do you know who I did like 4 day ago?” (2nd writer) “No but that must have been something if you don’t like them anymore.” (1st writer) “If you want to know it was you. But it wasn’t a chance with (Charles?). Had made up my mind to go back to (Harp?)”

FOUND by Suyi in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

I found this in a used copy of “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” two days ago at the Book Market used bookstore. I thought this was really sweet because everybody I talk to that was a kid during the first Harry Potter craze admits to having secretly wished that they would recieve a letter by owl from Hogwarts, and here is some kid that wrote one to herself once upon a time ago.

FOUND by Two Sledgehammers Dennis in a Kohl’s Department Store

Kohl’s department stores have sturdy cardboard boxes that can fold down and are constantly reused. Stickers are added to the boxes to denote where they get shipped to and clutter the lids to all these boxes. I found these stickers on the top of one of them. The writer must have written the note and sent it down a line to where he would hope Joe could find it before it was shipped to my store.
