Remember the postings last week about Gail and Toby, the Mah Jongg mavens who have been friends since high school? If you recall, I posted a story about them traveling cross-country in a van that once had been owned by Don Ed Hardy, the famed tattoo artist.
The other day I received a message from Gail: Ann: I can’t believe what I found today. Life is full of some amazing coincidences. It’s a bracelet. Toby knows nothing about it yet. Unless we leave the purgatory of phone tag and actually talk, she may first find out about it from your blog! I found it in the little section of vintage goods at a nursery Paul and I frequent. I took it off to shower, sleep, and for yoga class – otherwise it hasn’t left my wrist.
So, I need to write this here one more time in honor of our dear friends, Gail and Toby:
Make new friends
but keep the old.
One is silver
and the other’s gold.
A circle is round,
it has no end.
That’s how long
I want to be your friend.
Mah Jongg and Me 
Hi ! Love your stories and love your purse. I have looking for one for my sister who lives in Oregon. Can you help me find one?

Carol – Toby gave me the purse when I visited last autumn – hopefully she can tell you where she got it when she sees this post. I still cannot believe she parted with it!

Hi – thanks for this nice message. Not sure what purse you are referring to. If it is the one from this post: https://mahjonggandme.com/2015/04/09/wow-what-a-gift/ – then you can email Linda at mahjbaglady@yahoo.com. If it is the one in the picture on today’s posting then I am afraid that is probably a one-of-a-kind purse. If I come across another one, I will let you know. Ann xxo
