Lost & found formal wear in Southwest VA

lost: My ties near Southwest Virginia Mall

I was wrapping up errands at the Southwest Virginia Mall on Jefferson Street around 1:30 PM last Saturday when I realized my ties were missing from my tote. I had them draped over a chair at the coffee kiosk while I chatted with a vendor about quilts. They’re a dark navy silk with a thin silver stripe and they belonged to my late grandfather, which makes them feel heavy to lose. If someone finds them, I’ll feel relief and a quiet ache, like he’s guiding me to keep the memories close.
