Lost & found miscellaneous jewellery in Southeast IA

Lost brooches in Southeast Iowa

On Saturday at 4:15 p.m., I realized my grandmother's silver brooches were missing somewhere in Southeast Iowa. I had been walking along Burlington's Snake Alley, returning from the riverfront Market on Jefferson Street, when I felt the velvet pouch slip out of my coat pocket. The sun was low on the courthouse tower and the air smelled like kettle corn from a nearby booth. These pieces aren’t just jewelry; they tie me to family stories and memories from summers at the old family home. If someone found them by Snake Alley or close to the riverfront, please hold onto them for a while—I’ll come back for them.
