I hope your gloves turn up again someday. I am forever seeing New York movies where people lose things, then find them again in unexpected places. Like on a streetside table full of used goods, or propped on a statue in a park, or on the counter at a used bok store because the clerk found them on the subway and thought they were nice but is willing to part with them again once she hears your story.

The mittens are attached to each other by means of a string – like this – http://www.stylehive.com/bookmark/urbanoutfitterscom-crochet-mitten-with-string-514746 – so you wear the string over your shoulders/under your coat/down your coat sleeves. It’s a pain if you switch coats, but if you just have one main coat you can hang it up with the mittens still in it.

Me too, and the woman gave a really interesting talk. Plus the bookstore where it was being held was so cute. I want to go back as soon as I can.

Me too, but given what a hard time I’ve had trying to turn things into the Lost and Found, I’m not counting on it. It is seriously nearly impossible to give lost items to a subway official.

What was the string attached to? I am tentatively in favor but I don’t understand!

Yeah! Darn that city and its glove-stealing ways!

I found someone’s scarf on the subway yesterday, and I was all, Oo, I’m going to boost my karma by returning this to a subway official. But, like, subway officials are hard to find. I looked three separate times to find one and I could not. In the end I draped it very carefully over the edge of a bench. 🙁

That can happen so easily! One minute I am happy as a clam and thinking that all my life decisions have led me to this point and I am a genius, and then I lose my gloves and I’m in a despair spiral. :p

Thanks! I’ll let you know how it works!
