PLEASE HELP! FAMILY HEIRLOOMS MISTAKENLY GIVEN AWAY ON CRAIGSLIST


If you responded to an ad for free items located at 3338 or 3334 SE Milwaukie Avenue (Vincent's Tailor Shop/Dry Cleaners - see picture above) in the last three weeks, there were some important family heirlooms, including hand-sewn girls dresses (about 30 or so in total), lace, and other fabric, that were accidentally given away with everything.

We ask that you please, please, consider returning these items to us. They were given away by accident and without the knowledge of the owners, and this has caused a lot of heartache for our family. My mother, who has rheumatoid arthritis, painstakingly sewed each of these dresses for me (her only child), and was saving them to pass on to her future granddaughter. These dresses mean so much to both her and me. I added up a few pictures from old family albums of some of the dresses (see below), but there were many more that I don't have any pictures of.

We are more than happy to come pick them up, and apologize in advance for any inconvenience, and would be so grateful for your kindness. If you have these items, or know someone who might, or if you have any questions please give us a call or send us an email and let us know. We appreciate you sharing this with your friends/family and helping us recover these precious items. I've posted on Facebook here, and Twitter here, and you can also share the link to this post.

Thank you so much!!

Michele
